BuffaloButt Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Let's say the Bills don't land any notable FA QB which is highly probable. They give Tyrod his $6M roster bonus. They figure they will be drafting one to compete with Tyrod & Peterman. Now for the potential worst case sinario: The TOP QB's all get drafted before we pick at 21 & 22. Mock 1.0: Browns-Darnold Giants-Rosen Broncos-Allen Jets-Mayfield Cardinals-Jackson Chargers-Rudolph Now what? My suggestion is we move up no matter the cost to get one of the top 4 QB's, otherwise we might have to panic and move up anyway and give up a lot for a Rudolph or Jackson if they start dropping off the board which is very possible. Might as week move up and get one of the top 4. If all 6 QB's get drafted before us and we sit still, we would be screwed this season! Thoughts Mr. Beane??

H2o Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Rock with Tyrod for another year. I wouldn't like it, but I am certain he is better than at least 3 of those guys on that list. The Eagles would try to fleece us for Foles.
CEN-CAL17 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) OBD is not going to throw all their eggs in the basket to move up IMO. If a top 4 QB they like slips to 10, sure maybe. I see a VET QB, hopefully not Tyrod. Draft Mike White or Kyle Lauletta to compete with Peterman. Edited March 7, 2018 by 1ZAYDAY1 1
2003Contenders Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Two thoughts come to mind... I remember looking closely at the transcripts from Beane's interviews at the combine this past week. One comment he made that I found very interesting was that there were "6 -- maybe even 7" QBs that could go in the first round this year. Of course, he did not say who they were. But I wonder if the Bills have a higher grade on, say, Mike White and would be willing to take him with one of those 1st round picks. Still, I would hope that he would be available in the 2nd round. Otherwise, I have to look at it this way: if the top 20 picks really are comprised of 6 QBs, then that must mean that only 14 other players at non-QB positions were drafted. That gives the Bills the opportunity to take the 15th and 16th best non-QB prospects in the draft. It would not be the end of the world to address other needs (LB, DT, DL, WR, OL...) with those two picks. Edited March 7, 2018 by 2003Contenders 2

If Cousins goes to Vikings , 3 FA QBs might be there. Mike White would be worth a gamble in rd2. I would not give more then a 2nd rd for Foles. Dang , I wish we took Mahomes or Watson. I was expecting a poor 2017 season and much better draft position for 2018 to get a QB in this draft.
ghostwriter Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Worst case scenario is we give up a first for Nick Foles IMO and remember, just cause there is 5-6 highly rated QBs, it doesn't mean that the folks at OBD have them all rated highly, so keep that in mind as well. I think it's very possible only 2 QBs go in the top 10, that's the best case scenario. Darnold, Rosen, Allen or Mayfield are there at 10. Could happen.

I was expecting a poor 2017 season and much better draft position for 2018 to get a QB in this draft. Devil's advocate here: We could just as easily be saying "I'm glad we didn't draft Watson" had he had a bad season. Because he didn't, we now say "Dang, I wish we took him". Hindsight is an electron microscope. Mahomes, however, hasn't proven anything to me yet. Let him get a couple of full seasons under his belt first before we start chewing on our own guts for not drafting him. One last thing on Watson; he may not be the same QB after coming back from his injury. I, for one, will wait until after this draft before I start on the 'Should've, would've, could've" bandwagon.

jrober38 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 6 QBs aren't going in the first round. Rudolph is a 3rd/4th round calibre prospect. 1

26CornerBlitz Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Does a worst case sinario mean that Beane goes to hell?

You are probably correct, but teams like to reach for QBS. I think at least 5 go in the first round, and Rudolph will go late first or early-mid 2nd

I think at least 5 go in the first round, and Rudolph will go late first or early-mid 2nd This isn't really true. A lot of QBs projected to go in the 1st round over the past few years went much later than expected. In a year when there are 4 really good QB prospects, and a couple really good free agent options, no one is going to reach for Rudolph when it's all said and done. He's the same calibre of prospect as Landry Jones or Bryce Petty, who were both 4th round picks. Roughly seven NFL teams need a QB, and with Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield, Allen, Cousins, Keenum, Bridgewater, Bradford and possibly Foles all being options, no one is going to go out of their way to draft Rudolph whose ceiling is quite low.
