atlbillsfan1975 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Honestly the best thing is to draft a QB once you feel you have the team close to being set. It is so hard to build the team once you have to pay the QB the money they command. Only Brady and his back door deal with Kraft defy this.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Unless we get Alex Smith or Cousins we need a QB. We can't build around Tyrod ,he's just holding the position down until his replacement arrives.
Dr.Sack Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 So Tom Brady is merely 1 piece in 11 or what?

And in the meantime your team hovers around 6-10 to 9-7 because you've got talent elsewhere but no one at QB. Then you're not in position to get a QB because you're in the land of perpetual mediocrity. 2
Bangarang Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 This team has spent years drafting every other position except QB and it has gotten us nowhere. If this staff thinks they can draft a franchise changing QB then do whatever you need to make it happen. 1 1

Believer Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Beane needs to trade away some of the aging lineman while they still have value, and get as many draft picks as he can... Woods, Williams, Incognito... Let those guys catch on with a contender...

I understand what you are saying. It can be done either way I think.
FLXbillsmafia Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) If one of the top tier QBs is available at our spot, I think we should take them. However, I don't think trading up for anybody but Rosen is a good idea However, we need to stop taking QBs in the second round or later and expecting them to be the franchise QB. If we don't take a QB in the first, then get a temporary QB like Bradford or Keenum, and try to fill as many holes in the draft as we can. Edited November 20, 2017 by FLXbillsmafia

There is also a chance that throwing a guy into a bad situation will not give him an opportunity to develop 1
Yeezus Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 The colts won 1 game and got Luck and he masked all of their problems and won 10 games GET A !@#$ING QB 1

They could still use the rest of their draft to fill holes and they were not near as old a team as we are!

Any q.b we get will get killed behind this line, especially with Wood and Incognito another year older! We need to use our 6 top picks on O-line and D-line then draft a Q.B. the following year when he’ll have a chance to survive! Just keep Tyrod or pick up a Stop gap QB, fix our O-line and D-line. Then draft a QB and give him a chance. Finally build properly! I agree that they can't give away their stockpile of picks for a QB. There are just WAY too many holes to do that. We need 2 (or 3) LBs, at least 1 or 2 D Line, maybe a CB, 2 to 3 O linemen, WR, RB, QB, and then depth at almost every position and that's just off the top of my head... You can't fill all the holes on this team in 1 draft. There's too many. But I don't agree that they should pass on a QB all together. If the right QB is still there with one of their picks in the 1st, they should take him. 1
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Yeah I’m sure these guys will use those picks on the right players. This is what amazes me about Bills fans. We never pick good players. Our team sucks every single year. Our coaches and GMs mess up 90% of the time. Yet people are terrified of losing picks. Who cares about how many picks we have? We don’t pick the right guys with them anyway. Trade them for guys that other capable teams have identified and developed. At least then we can’t screw them up.
