IMO rankings will change, maybe even a lot, before the dust settles. There is the combine yet to come, interviews, pro days, private workouts, the senior bowl week and game. The draft talk we get from the talking heads is probably way behind where team scouts, GMs, directors of pro/college personnel are at already. Eventually the two streams will converge more, subject to the effect of the usual misinformation and smoke screens. Look at Cowherd's first draft. Lamar Jackson is not a first rounder according to him. You know that will change by draft day. I think this is a good class for QBs and I think the Bills are very interested in getting someone they like and they probably like more than one guy. As many have said you could easily see six guys go in the first round and all of the players in question likely deserve to go in the first. JMO but the three guys I would consider blowing big draft capital to get are Jackson, Rosen and Mayfield. The other three guys (Darnold, Allen and Rudolph) are worth moving up for but not to the same extent. I hear you, but I don't put much faith in QB rankings that change after all the games are played. When you get caught up in pro days and combine, or after season evals, that's how you end up with Jimmy Clausen. If I just start hearing about a guy because of his pro day, combine, or "improved mechanics" or something, no thanks. I want a gamer from a real conference, not some workout hero or a guy who beat up on d3 schools.

I have watched Alex Smith several times. He is a mirror image of Tyrod Taylor. Does do well passing over the middle. Long shots down field are rarely successful. Leaves the pocket at the first sign of danger. Everything is just like Tyrod. Just keep Tyrod in that case. They have similarities, but Alex is the better passer. He's not afraid to pass the ball with anticipation. Edited January 18, 2018 by ShadyBillsFan

Maybe the Browns fall in love with Allen, then the Giants grab Rosen. We trade up with Cleveland @ 4 and get Darnold. Weirder things have happened. Or draft Hurst and Vea in the 1st, then pray Rudolph drops to the 2nd round.
MJS Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Well it's not your pick. Also there are countless threads about QB's.
buffaloboyinATL Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 On 1/17/2018 at 11:17 AM, JackKemp said: If the Bills trade for Alex Smith then they lose credibility with me. Alex Smith is the same QB as Tyrod Taylor. Might as well have continuity and stay with Tyrod instead of wasting draft capital and talent on Alex Smith. They lose credibility for making a trade to attempt improving one of the most important positions on the team? I disagree. There are other factors to consider, like wha they give up in the trade and what else they do to address the QB position in the off season. Just going out and acquiring a veteran QB whether he is a short term solution or not, should not be a negative.
Mat68 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 2 first rd picks, 2 seconds and no real Qb on the roster I would be upset if Buffalo doesnt leave the Draft with 1 of the top 4 Qbs.

I’m starting to feel if we don’t get one of Darnold, Rosen, or Mayfield, I prefer we trade down and get more picks.
Luka Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Odd release, weak arm and definitely not all that accurate. Lot's of balls into the dirt, behind his receivers and short. Hard pass.
