You don’t trade up to 12 and hope that a franchise QB is sitting there and only you know about it. You go get him. Can’t play the “I’m smartet than every other GM” game. You’ll get burned. So now we're trading up to 2 to get MASON !@#$ING RUDOLPH? What are you chuckleheads smoking?

Wow, comprehension problem? Lets try again, if the Brandon Beane believes Mason Rudolph is this franchises next franchise QB then you go get him. You don’t sit at 12 and wait for “your guy” to come to you otherwise you may be left empty handed.

Even if Beane believes Rudolph to be THE GUY, he'd be a fool to move up to 2 to take him. An absolute fool. Why? Because Rudolph can be had at 22..certainly at 12. And I'll bet you that he could even be had in the 2nd round. You don't move up when you grade a guy as drastically better than everyone else does...you move down, collect some extra picks, and still get your guy. Learn something about what you're talking about before you get all snippy, Gomer. Edited March 17, 2018 by Domdab99

Learn something about what you're talking about before you get all snippy, Gomer. Nope you still haven’t understood. Still have a reading and comprehension problem problem I see. I’m not talking about where you believe Rudolph is ranked or where you think he can be had. I’m not talking about where I believe Rudolph should be drafted or where is can be had. The thread is about Rudolph being “the guy” that Beane really wants. If that is the case, then Beane ranks him higher than Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield, etc. And if Beane thinks that, he is THE GUY, he needs to go get him. I know this may be difficult to understand but if Beane thinks Rudolph is the best QB in the draft and his guy, guess what, other GMs may have come to that conclusion too. Why would you risk losing out on Rudolph or whoever because you think your smarter than any other GM in the league? All it takes is Arizona jumping in front or the Dolphins taking him for “your guy” to be going to another team. So I’ll say it again, if Brandon Beane believes Mason Rudolph is his guy, he needs to go get him. Did you just say you don’t move up for a guy you grade drastically better? Are you suggesting the Jets should have traded down and still got their guy? ?? Are you sure it’s me that needs to learn? Thanks for playing.

That we realize, but have you heard Beane talk about how important acquiring a franchise QB is to the future of the Bills? I haven't heard that much emphasis being put on MLB by him.
MrEpsYtown Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Go to NFL.com and draft ratings and compare their grade on Nate Peterman to their grade on Rudolph. They have Peterman with a slightly higher grade. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/nathan-peterman?id=2558191 http://www.nfl.com/draft/2018/profiles/mason-rudolph?id=2559942 The Rudolph love is asinine. He's a future backup with little upside. AJ McCarron grade slightly higher than both. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profiles/aj-mccarron?id=2543497 Edited March 18, 2018 by MrEpsYtown 1

I just pointed to that one as a reasonable example. Maybe they have 2-3 QBs ranked all very close and are ok not spending the farm for one of them. Sam Darnold is the only guy I can really see a team sacrificing a good chunk of the draft for.

Sam Darnold is the only guy I can really see a team sacrificing a good chunk of the draft for. He's a borderline 1st round pick because of measurables and not someone who requires a trade up. Darnold will be gone at pick one IMO, so I believe they like someone else enough to move up and hopefully it would be Rosen if they get it done.

It could be an OT, 3 technique DT, Edge player etc. so they went up to 12 to get whoever that it is. back to the OPs point maybe Allen and Rudolph and someone else at QB are all rated similarly and they will move from 22 with another pick/s to get that guy. Just trying to make the point the move to 12 wasn't necessarily done for a qb, maybe it was. We will see in a few weeks. Edited March 18, 2018 by RocCityRoller
Laughing Coffin Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Rudolph will be there in the 2nd !@#$ing round.
