Not impressed by Lauletta's skills. 

He has good size, is mobile, throws well on the run, is fairly accurate, but I noticed watching him that you rarely see him go through progressions. It's like he knows where he's gonna go with the ball at the snap unless a play breaks down and he's throwing on the run to a guy who comes open. Whether he's another Jimmy G or not, idk.

I would be totally fine with Lauletta in the second.  The price to move up is getting insane.  If we do it we will look back in 2 or 3 years as huge mistake.  We will have so many holes and used up too many picks this year and some next.  

Damn, I forgot. This is the last year for the Draft and UFA. The Bills will not be able to add anything ever again.

There's definitely some similarities between Lauletta and Jimmy, but the sentence about his resume being equal to Jimmy isn't really accurate. Lauletta was awesome at Richmond, but Jimmy threw for over 5,000 yards and 50 TDs his senior year.

I don't believe he is. I see a disparity in talent, technique, and decision making between the two.  He didn't stand out in the games that I watched.

I keep going back to the throw-away comment that Beane made at the Combine, when he said that there were "6 -- maybe 7" QBs who would go in the first round. Obviously he was talking about the Big 4, Rudolph and Jackson as the 6. I wonder if Lauletta was "maybe 7".

I've heard Lauletta in a couple of interviews. Kid seems to have a real good head on his shoulders w/ great football knowledge. I hear his arm isn't the strongest though. That scares me a bit, but from what I've heard from this kid...he's a leader. He had me sold, for what that's worth (nothing).

Goodell: With the 22nd pick, in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills select...Kyle Lauletta.  Quarterback, Richmond, of the vaunted Colonial Athletic Association.

Yeah. We need somebody with a super strong arm, that can deal with the very harsh Buffalo weather.

I know (sigh), but since I've never seen this cat throw...I don't know the extent of his noodle arm.

When he was throwing at the combine one of the announcers actually mentioned that you can't afford to overlook a lack of adequate arm strength, a lesson he learned from evaluating Nate Peterman.

Here's another article about Lauletta that is worth the read.

Highlight package videos don't mean much.  Watch full games instead.

Right?

Highlight videos are like taking somebody's Instagram at face value.

You know that chick is filtering and air brushing so those photos.

I was just commenting on his arm strength.  I think even a highlight video shows his arm is good enough to hit an open receiver.

Has a lot of the characteristics McDermott would love.  Interesting article.

Great article, No way CAM or Manziel could make those calls. Sounds like this kid is a young Brady. If Bills like him than grab him with a 2nd round pick, don't wait. I have said from the beginning I would rather draft Falk and Lauletta to compete with McCarron and Peterman and may the best man win. You can then use 1st round pics to beef up team. Your going to give up allot to get Baker or Allen and they may not end up any better than those 4 players on your team. Not worth the risk.

Not on a consistent basis at the NFL level in tighter windows against better defensive backs.

This is Kyle Lauletta who has nothing to do with Brady.

Fox News is reporting that DNA testing, now routine for NFL prospects, has revealed that Kyle Lauletta is actually Nate Peterman's long lost twin. Apparently, they were separated at birth due to a monumental maternity ward snafu.

that's exactly the Lauletta concern - will he develop the arm strength/zip on the ball to make the throws he's making in college without ramping up the INTs against NFL DBs?

Brady did.  Many don't.

His velocity looks fine on the short and intermediate passes IMO. The deep ball is a struggle for him though; he definitely struggles to physically get it down the field and he has to put a lot of air under it to have a chance at getting there. I think he throws with more velocity on the 20 and under yard passes than a guy like Mason Rudolph does but like I said, the deep ball is a serious issue for him.
