Would you trade Leighton Vander Esch, DJ Moore, Rashaad Penny, and Mason Rudolph for Josh Rosen?

Keep the picks.  I don't think any of these QB's are worth trading a crazy amount for.  I'd take any of Chubb, Nelson, Barkley, Smith, Edwards, Ward, Fitzpatrick, James, or one of the top 4 QB's at 12.  At 22, I'd take Ridley, Evans, one of the DT's, or Lamar Jackson.  And we still have 3 more picks in the top 65.  This could be a draft that nets you 4-5 top line starters.  I'm not giving the majority of that away for a QB that is nowhere close to a sure thing.  

Probably not starting in 2018 either and to get him your giving up next years 1st.

With the picks we have, you aren't sniffing a sure thing's jock strap...

Out of 5-6 top 100 players and with Beane you will have 2-3 starters and another 2-3 good backups that play in 2018.

[Turk71]

No way would I give up such a good draft for a guy like Rosen. I think he will get physically crushed in the pros. Slight looking frame, takes a lot of hits, 2 concussions last year alone, shoulder surgery, grew up on SoCal beaches, questionable commitment and unimpressive passing efficiency in college. He has as much of a chance of busting as any of the top 6 qbs. So much hype for a guy who has done very little beyond good mechanics and footwork, I will be surprised if he becomes a great pro. Of course if the Bills pick him I will hope I am wrong.

How did so many of my brothers and sisters get cold feet when it comes to franchise quarterbacks?  That's what franchises are built on.

Is Brees a franchise QB, Brady, Wilson? These guys were all picked 2-6 round. Favre was a 2 round pick, Rodgers 17th, Kelly 14th. Brad Johnson, Dilfer, Foles, Flacco all won SB's. Bledsoe, Luck, Ryan and a number other 1st pick over all have not, Allot more #2 picks have flopped. A franchise QB is defined by winning over a long period of time, nothing about draft status. More QB's have failed in the 1st round then any other position selected. Failure is out of the league before rookie contract done or expired. Allot more have failed then succeed.

This guy has had concussions, 1 hit and he may never play again in a year, another hit out of the league.

Hmmm, did Kelly win a Superbowl, I do remember Brees doing it, Wilson, Brady, Big Ben a 11th pick, Rodgers at 17, Foles 3rd rounder, come on help me out. Oh by the way Kelly was a 14th pick with 3 QB's selected ahead of him, even Tony Hunter a TE the Bills drafted. Eli one of few that do it but he is no prize, not worth giving up all your picks. Not even seeing a Luck in this draft.

I would take a Nick Foles and a Super Bowl win. I love Jim and that team, what we know, but they lost. Isn't winning the Superbowl what it is about. Or is it about the journey? Maybe the journey is earning the 1st pick, needing to suck for a few years and earning to draft a franchise QB. Bills fans want so bad they are willing to FORCE the plan forward. You do not win trading up to draft 1 player over 4-5 team players. 

NFL windows to win championships are small. Were Jim Kelly and Dan Marino not good enough QB’s or “not worth it”? Of course not. That notion, even implied, is ludicrous. The NFL is a team sport, so an anomolies such as Dan Marino and Kelly and other great QBs who never win super bowls happen bc by the very nature of the game critical elements are out of their direct control. 

 

Fact is 4-5 team players can be obtained via FA. Always. Theyre there every off-season. Franchise QB’s that are the face of your franchise for a decade or more, never are. You have to draft one.

For Josh Rosen I would because I think he has a chance to be a very good NFL QB and I don't particularly like Mason Rudolph.  And we all know without a superior QB you live in no man's land in the NFL universe.

 

Now if Rosen is gone at #2 or #3.....I would not trade up for Josh Allen, who I think is going to be an absolute tire fire in the NFL.  To me, the most important attribute to be a successful QB in the NFL is deadly accuracy.  Allen's accuracy is horrendous.  Like really, really bad.  I've seen the excuse.....well he played for Montana, the talent around him was weak.....you know what else was weak the inferior defenses he faced most Saturdays.  It was bad in college and it'll be just as bad in the NFL, where the windows are even tighter.  And remember the thing that Tyrod was really bad at? Throwing with anticipation or what they now call throwing a WR open.  Guess who has the same problem?  Josh Allen.  EJ Manuel was the same way....he couldnt anticipate a throw for his life.

 

You either have those traits as a QB or you don't.  I think Rosen does.  His concussion scare me, truth be told, but I like him.  Allen will flop.

Let's just pin this down. You think to get to #2 the Bills need to give up:

A top 10 pick, 2 additional 1st round picks, a 2nd, and 3rd this year.

 

To get the top 10 pick you suggest it will take trading with the Colts and giving up:

12, 22, and a 2nd and 3rd.

 

So in total you think to move up to #2 it will take giving two teams:

5 1st round picks

2 2nd round picks

2 3rd round picks

 

I mean you just aren't in the same reality. Philly going from #8 to #2 in 2016 throws all of that in the trash.

You don't go to 2nd pick over all with 12, PERIOD! Your acting like you have a top 10 pick, you don't. You also don't count well. We never gave up 5 1st rounders, we give up 4. Your giving up 12, 22, 1st 2019 and 1st 2020, then 2 2nds and 2 3rds. Think of it as a 3 way trade. Those are the assets we lose for Rosen. You all think 12, 22 2nd and 3rd get it done fro Rosen. If you don't want those players at those draft positions and want Rosen more, than why on earth would the Giants want those players over Rosen, Brakley or Chubb?

They didnt even trade up for luck, they had the first pick. The problem is that luck has been hurt and the team they put around him. Are you saying they shouldnt have drafted him and traded down or something

My god your take is idiotic.  What is it about Rosen that you find so amazing?  His arm is not that great, he takes a ton of hits, is injury and concussion prone and has the wrong mentality in my opinion for a QB.  Plus is a California kid and come from a family that's very well to do.

 

BTW - Josh Allen played at Wyoming you buffoon.

The problem with this argument is that you leave out all of the 11th, 17th, 3rd rounders, 6th rounders that weren't successful. 

 

 

DXkLTuxVQAET7y2.jpg.html

And your leaving out all the failures in the 1st round you want to call "franchise QB's". Remember Mirer, Leaf, Russell, Couch, Lienhart, Quinn. They were complete flops. That is why you don't waste 4-6 picks for 1 player, if your wrong you have destroyed your team for 3-4 years. Those that do that as GM's and HC's are gone 3-4 years in. Just ask Cleveland, they are trying again!

You are arguing against trading up, the eagles just traded up for wentz and won the superbowl, think its pretty clear.

If you think it would take 4 firsts , 2 2nds and 2 3rds to get up to #2 you are crazy

All I am saying is even with a 1st round QB you may not win a Superbowl. Jim had a great offense, never had a great defense. Strange all that talent never had a top 5 defense with Kelly. Why, Walt Corey. You are exactly right TEAM is the word, that means great Coaches, position coaches too. Bills always lacked a good defensive coordinator under Levy and Kelly. Frank Reich played just as well as Kelly when Kelly went out. Team means drafting too, not just a QB. Without Reed, McKeller, Thomas, Fina, Jones, Talley, Conlan, etc.. we would not have won. Buffalo only once went for a player and gave too much up in those years. May have cost us a Superbowl win going for Bennett. We lost 3-4 1st picks getting him in 88'. How good would we have been keeping those picks and drafting by the time we reached the Super Bowls. Maybe we would have won. One player is just not worth it.

I wouldn't, and I hope Brandon Beane agrees.

 

And this is even a bare minimum of what it would cost to get to #2. Using the chart, #12 (Vander Esch), #22 (Moore), #53 (Rudolph), and #65 (Penny) get you to #2, but because of the Jets trade, you'll probably have to give up significantly more than that. Is Rosen (or your other preferred QB other than Darnold) better than Rudolph to the extent that you're willing to just not have Vander Esch, Moore, Penny, and some other high-impact player?

 

I am firmly in the camp of keeping our picks at this point. The Bills are in position to build a dominant roster. Let McCarron, Rudolph, and Peterman compete.

 

FYI: the available players came from the Fanspeak draft simulator using Matt Miller's board and the difficult algorithm.
 

 

The Rams don't have a single player remaining from the haul they received from the Redskins in 2012.  Nothing is guranteed.  But if u have conviction on a QB u take that risk.

No, without those players Kelly wouldn't have went to any Superbowls. The last one happened because of Reich in one of the most famous Bills games ever. I love kelly but this was a stupid comparison. Frank Reich had no problem winning with the same players.

No Hofers for a Hofer , give me the Hofer Kelly I'll get positional players latter.

[QCity]

We've only been trying to win with another team's backup for a decade now, let's give it another 10 years to be sure it doesn't work.

Rosen was 6-6 as a starter this season. He can't carry a team. Not to mention his health issues

Yes.
