I know (newly retired) Bruce Arians supposedly loves him. I think the trade with Cincy happened for multiple reasons. But... Could part of the reason be that Beane wanted to trade up in front of Arizona? (Although I think that is likely even if Jackson isn't the target, simply because Arizona is definitely in the QB market). Expand There is so much uncertainty in the draft order. IMO Mayfield is going to the Jets at 3. 1. CLE - Darnold 2. NYG or Trade - Rosen 3. NYJ - Mayfield 4. CLE - Barkley 5. DEN - ??? 6. IND - Chubb From there it's harder to project. 1

There are many damn good football players outside the QB position- I think there is a shot Jackson slides that far. And didn't Vick go top 5? Jackson is better then VIck in his prime. I would be happy if we Jackson is a Bill Expand really? he hasn't even set one foot on NFL turf and he is already better than Vick (in his prime)? this might just be slightly delusional Edited March 18, 2018 by Foxx

CuddyDark Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 If you have a win now mentality take Jackson. In a three to five year window Jackson is most likely to win now. 1

Unless there are 1 or 2 clear cut can't miss QB prospects and not much after that (like in the Winston and Mariota draft, or Goff/Wentz). This year there really is no clear cut #1 rated QB. It looks to be a very deep QB draft and It seems to be a group of 3, 4 or even 5 that are at the top. So your guess is as good as mine... Although I think either Rosen or Allen go to the NYJ, and Mayfield to either Denver or Miami. That's my best guess as of now.

Real McClappy Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 This is not to boost Jackson but a honest question. Have the Bills ever had a Heisman trophy winner before?

Expand TT might have been the mold they wanted all along and why they let him play last year? IDK, TT left way to many plays on the field slip by and the McD system did not agree with it any longer. I'm excited to see which direction we go on 4/26 and will buy into what they do.

Expand His game will translate if coaches don't try and make him something he's not. The only question I have is can he stay healthy. He has to avoid contact.
McBean Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 If Bills draft Jackson or Allen it will be the worst move this team has made since taking Knee J Manuel. 1

Mopreme Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 I don't have a problem with Jackson at 12 but rather not trade up into the top 5 to get him. That's too much. Then at 22, perhaps trade down and load up on more picks or pick best available linebacker. However, I am hoping that they sign Will Compton for mike role, looks like another diamond in the rough like Hyde and Poyer from last year. I like how Beane is getting guys on the cheaper side who have some starting experience and moving them into full time starting roles.
