baskingridgebillsfan Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 At the end of the day this will be a two qb draft Rosen and Darnold. Mason Rudolph might be a solid qb but more of the Tannyhill type that you are always thinking about upgrading from . Jackson to me is a true wild card , so much talent can it translate into playing the position . Baker has always been over rated in my eyes. It is rare of a qb of his size to make it. I keep looking at Chase daniels stats and highlights and I don't see a ton of difference.

Disturbing? We aren't in a position to get a Carson Wentz prospect. There are still 1st round QBs in this draft. 1
thenorthremembers Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Wentz has seemed to turn out great, but I think we should let this play out a bit before we make him the standard. Granted he had a great year, but it ended just like his last year of college did, with injury. Three years from now we may be talking about him as someone who couldnt stay on the field. His tape was a lot of fun to watch but there were major questions on the guy, specifically he had one full year of starting and while he was a winner he wasnt overly productive against FCS level competition. I agree there probably isn't a player who has all the tools Wentz has, but it's way too early to say none of the quarterbacks in this class wont be as productive as Wentz at the next level.

I don't think they'll take him, but my guess is that he is the sort of qb Daboll can work with.

billsfan_34 Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Mayock and Kiper have been wrong more than right- I tend to tune them out.

DCOrange Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Saying that none of them are in the top 5 big board isn't really that much of a stretch to be honest. For example, Mel Kiper and Lance Zierlein each only have one QB in the Top 5 (both of them have their #1 QB at #5). Barkley and Quenton Nelson are probably the top 2 on most big boards. Minkah Fitzpatrick and Bradley Chubb seem to be locked in for most as well. I would expect most big boards will have 0 or 1 QBs in the top 5 with the exception of McShay. Not having a QB in his top 5 doesn't mean he doesn't think they're a great prospect.

The draft is unpredictable, but most of these top draft guys go by what they hear. So it's probably accurate as of today that there are no elite prospects. Wentz was a late riser on many boards, but rumors started floating around that he was being compared to Andrew Luck.

He is all those things. But I find there's a bit of revisionist history when discussing his draft stock a couple years back. Seems many now had him pegged as a can't miss prospect. I seem to remember him having multiple question marks when coming out.

I would also argue that Mayfield is better in every statistical category than Daniels, who you're making a comparison to strictly based on height. Most glaringly Daniels threw a very high rate of Interceptions, this wasnt the case for Mayfield.

I know this may sound nuts but what if Beane offered Tre White and 21 for the 3 pick or 2 pick? White is easily our best asset i'd think right now and has a high value. It would suck losing him but if we can get a franchise qb it should be considered.

The Bills scouted him quite a bit during his final season in college, but the buzz became too big for them to have a shot at him.

In the Petrino offense, it's basically either a read-option or he'll sit back in the pocket and attempt a pass.
