CommonCents Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 @sn_nfl Urban Meyer says school may have set back Cardale Jones http://dlvr.it/L4r2d9 Ehh at least he is being honest. I guess he it would have been a selfless move to explain to the kid that his stock was never going to be higher and he had no intention on molding his system to fit Cardale.
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Just select Connor Cook, and be done with it. I'm gonna proclaim here and now, that Cook will be a star in the NFL. I really hope the Bills select him. He's the guy. But I bet Greg Roman wouldn't like him, he is too aggressive. Too bad. With the right coach, he would tear up the league. I hope the Patriots don't select him, or we're screwed. He reminds me of Marino. There's a lot to like about Cook but there are some huge red flags. A 57% passer in college is extremely worrisome. And the d bag factor is a giant one. Guys in the pros won't follow d bags. See Losman, JP, Cutler, Jay, or George, Jeff. Cook might be on That in class of guy.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 The idea that this team needs to use its first two picks on defense--just to fix what Rex broke--is a travesty, and the possibility that this would cause us to pass on a potential franchise QB, makes it totally unacceptable. The only thing that could be worse, would be using those picks on DT and/or ILB. get ready for a disaster then
JohnC Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 The idea that this team needs to use its first two picks on defense--just to fix what Rex broke--is a travesty, and the possibility that this would cause us to pass on a potential franchise QB, makes it totally unacceptable. The only thing that could be worse, would be using those picks on DT and/or ILB. The Bills have been in a position to draft a good qb prospect a number of times the last few years. Wilson, Carr and Bridgewater were on the board when we were in position to draft a qb. Wilson was still on the board in the third round for us and Carr and Bridgewater could have been selected with first round trade downs. But that's history so it is futile to lament about it. What's different for us this year is that we have a legitimate franchise qb prospect in TT. He has shown enough (at least to me) that he can be a good qb in this league. So the urgency to use a high pick on a qb isn't the same this year as it has been in previous years. My position on the draft is simple: In general just make good selections regardless of the position. The higher the ranked player selected the chances of the player making the roster increases. Although I would not be displeased if Whaley used a high pick to select someone who could play RT. The miss on the Kujo pick has left a void on the right side for the past few years (including this year). My position on Rex is well documented so I won't belabor the point on what I think of him. Good coaches adapt to the talent on hand instead of forcing the organization to reshuffle the talent base to adapt to the coaches' preference. Eventually this HC will be jettisoned and the roster re-make will again be a work in process.

Cook might be on That in class of guy. 34-5....a Rose Bowl.... a Cotton Bowl... 2 Big 10 Championships...team captain or not, the team responded to him just fine. He is no Jeff George (who transfered in college, and didn't have much of a college career), or Jay Cutler (11-35)...it's not fair to compare him to those kind of guys. JP Lossman 17-20... The completion % was already discussed, and I'm not worried about that either. Edited April 18, 2016 by HoF Watkins

thebandit27 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Ok, so I'm hard-headed and ignorant, but I need some folks to tell me what the definite "no's" are with Brandon Doughty. I just watched his game against Marshall, and all the positives came through again: he's got a lightning-quick release, makes good decisions with the ball, has solid ball placement, shows velocity and touch, etc. I'm not saying he's a day 1 or 2 pick, but I don't see a 6th rounder or UDFA either... I defy anyone to watch the throw he makes at 6:19 and tell me that this is a guy that loses accuracy when pressured. Edited April 18, 2016 by thebandit27

I can see why he's considered a project.

Also. he demonstrated good ball placement in most of his throws. My wild guess is that the Bills are going to draft Kevin Hogan with one of their later picks. Football smarts and good size.

Sounds like a great pick there.

26CornerBlitz Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Here's why Paxton Lynch would be a good fit with the Buffalo Bills Could Paxton Lynch be a good fit for the Buffalo Bills? Phil Simms thinks so and explains why on CBS Sports Network's 'Time to Schein.'
thebandit27 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 This is scary: Kevin @KevinMassare 1h1 hour ago I don't care what anyone says, I think Paxton Lynch is top of our draft board at 19/trade back. Like him or not, Ole Road Sodas has had solid info in the past...I'll be very, very worried if Lynch is the pick. And this regarding Whaley's statement that Tyrod is the starter: Kevin @KevinMassare 1h1 hour ago Kevin Retweeted Adam Benigni AKA - So when we take a 1st round QB, don't freak out.

Well, Kev's source inside the Bills left when the Pegula family bought the team. I really hope he's wrong. Lynch is a woeful prospect for the hype he's getting.
