BuffaloHokie13 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 anything is seemingly possible on Fanspeak sometimes! It all depends on the draft board you choose, and some are flat out bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokestradamus Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Initially in his career, I could not agree more. I do think long term, his passing skills translate to a high threshold and like Newton can develop into a true pocket passing QB, but unlike Newton who I thought could develop pocket passing skills because of his game tape vs. higher level comp, that tape vs. higher comp doesnt exist with Wentz, hence the rub for me moving forward and why the senior bowl is a huge measuring stick for him IMO. I've seen enough at his current level to believe he can make the adjustments needed at the next level, so I feel comfortable giving him a high 1st round grade today (the process is young, so things change), but could see why others would not. I think that having a plan for him, and young QB's in general is crucial. I hate, yet love comparisons, but I think evaluating him individually first is more important than anything. What do you see his ceiling being? Not so much his ceiling but a career projection for Wentz is something akin to Russell Wilson. I know, nothing about that sounds right but bear with me! The reason that I earmarked Buffalo/Denver as landing spots (outside of offensive fit) is because they could both sustain success with defensive personnel (yes, I think Rex can revive the D to that level) and do similar to what Seattle did with Wilson. Run the ball, control the clock, play suffocating defense and gradually mix the passing game into the fold more and more over time. I think both Wilson and Wentz are very nuanced passers but both needed to work on their play in the pocket early on. You've started to see it come to fruition with Wilson this year and, for the first time, he's been able to put the team on his shoulders for extended periods of the game and won games by himself. I think with the right plan, you could see Wentz make similar strides as a passer and a leader on the field. It's taken 4 years for Wilson to reach that point. It might take Wentz as long, maybe even longer, to assume that position. Maybe Seattle could've taken the reigns off Wilson earlier and the injuries to Lynch just forced their hands to allow it this season. I can only speculate. Either way, Wentz isn't as accomplished as Wilson was so the learning curve is significantly steeper. I don't think Wentz is destined for superstar status but I think if you stand by him for the duration of his rookie contract, he'll earn his way into a lucrative second deal. Like Miami has done with Tannehill, you have to let him make his mistakes and use them as teachable moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 These fan speak things are so dumb. Their rankings are big time off.

BuffaloFan68 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 IMO our first 2 picks will be LB & QB (I trust Whaley to pick the correct order at the time). I also like the idea of grabbing AGUAYO in the 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 When was the last good ucla guy? I remember akeem ayers getting some hype coming out and I don't even know where he is now. Some schools just have guys that seem to flame out.This thought process might of contributed to the Bills taking Maybin over Orakepo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also rumours of a s**t storm coming surrounding the Ole Miss recruitment of him and Tunsil.
