I will take a franchise QB 1000 times over your pro-bowl CB and unknown 1st rd draft pick anytime. It’s just 2 different things. A team doesn’t stop until it gets a QB. That’s what the Colts did and look at their roster. You get the QB when the value matches resources. The 1996 Ravens drafted Ogden and Ray Lewis. Was it an “F” because they didn’t get a franchise QB? Obviously that is an extreme example but you get the point. QB is the most important part but it doesn’t render everyone else useless. The Eagles just won the Super Bowl with a former 3rd round pick off the scrap heap. They have a great (and balanced) roster. The Bills are building a balanced roster. The QB doesn’t have to come first. Look at Jacksonville, they’ve been loading up and are a decent QB away from being favorites.

Big Turk Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 2 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: I think that the grade is reasonable but the analysis a little off. Zay Jones and Nathan Peterman were nothing short of awful (and I liked Jones and thought Peterman was okay coming out). White and Dawkins were outstanding. Milano looks like a steal as well. So, 3 really good picks, 2 guys that looked out of place and a ST guy. That’s a pretty good draft IMO. If either Zay or Peterman (or Vallejo) develop it is a home run. We likely don't win the Colts game without Peterman FWIW

He was 5-10 for 57 yards, a TD and ran for 10 more yards. The conditions were tough without question but I would say that we “likely lose” without him. The combination of Webb and McCoy was equally effective. Peterman was okay in that game but wasn’t the reason that they won.

He made a couple of great throws (specifically the 3rd down throw). That game was won on the ground, specifically with Shady. His ability to change directions in those conditions was the reason that the Bills won.

Maybe a little bigger and not quite as scrappy, but has that solid not-quite-first-round-talent-but-tons-of-potential 2nd round guy written all over him...Paul Richardson type dude. I have high hopes for him personally.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 3 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: White was outstanding and easily exceeded expectations while Dawkins was solid. Jones was very disappointing to Zay the least. Peterman I didn't expect much from, but he was even worse than I initially thought. Jones really needs to bounce back as a 2nd round pick they traded up to acquire. Peterman is hopefully rendered moot with the Bills drafting a QB in the 1st round after they sign a bridge QB in the interim while developing the potential franchise guy. Zay runs routes like Odell Beckham Jr and catches like Tom Brady...
Teddy KGB Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Put me in the Zay will be good camp. Look at Marquise Goodwin post Bills QB’s

Look at Marquise Goodwin post Bills QB’s I think he'll be just fine once he gets over his case of the dropsies. I feel that his hands will come around eventually. If Zay does come around like I think he will, this draft class will be a homerun! The others aside from Peterman and Vallejo were all excellent picks (can't expect much from a 5th round QB! if he pans out, it's great... but to go into the season expecting him to be the "savior" (pun intended) is a mistake). You can't hit on every pick and hitting on 4/6 picks would be pretty darn good Edited February 13, 2018 by berg1029 grammar 1

Saxum Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 3 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: You can give the Bills management an “F” for not addressing the position but you can’t say that the draft is an “F.” Your team isn’t only comprised of a QB. The Bills got a Pro Bowl CB, a franchise LT, a starting LB and another 1st. You can but you look like an idiot or are an alias to SaviorPeteredman. 1
8-8 Forever? Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 12 hours ago, Limeaid said: Peteredman was picked too early by Bills. He should have been a 7th round developmental player and they should not have depending on him being backup to TT who tends to get injured. Jones needs a new mentor; his Eastern Carolina coach was not able to help him raise his game to the NFL level. White, Dawkins and Milano were successes and Vallejo has potential as a depth player. wasn't his ECU coache's f ing job to groom him for the NFL.
WideRightRevenge Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I give it an A+ when compared to the draft just 12 months earlier ... I too was way high on Zay Jones and was disappointed ... but will give a hall pass due to surgery at end of year .. let's see what happens in 2018 with someone else throwing him the ball. 2016 Buffalo Bills draft Round Pick Player Position College Notes 1 19 Shaq Lawson DE Clemson 2 41 Reggie Ragland LB Alabama Pick from CHI 3 80 Adolphus Washington DT Ohio St 4 139 Cardale Jones QB Ohio St Compensatory 5 156 Jonathan Williams RB Arkansas 6 192 Kolby Listenbee WR TCU 6 218 Kevon Seymour CB USC Compensatory
GunnerBill Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) White - home run. Dawkins - reason to be encouraged (not going Franchise LT yet). Milano - steal. Jones - disappointment not willing to go bust yet. Peterman - sucks. Edited February 13, 2018 by GunnerBill 1
WideRightRevenge Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Oh and one other thing ... A+ when considering we got another 1st round pick this year.

Can't say the same for Zay. He's looked awful in all aspects. I don't agree actually. I thought Goodwin sucked when he was here. I think the change of scenery was good for him.
