We've been ignoring the qb position for years trying to build at every other position. Quite frankly I don't care what we need to do to get a qb this year. Trade every pick if need be I don't care just get a damn QB in this draft! We will never win anything until we have one. so help me god if someone says well trent dilfer won one, im swan diving off the falls

Please remember that or offensive line was bailed out by Taylor's feet and that we have aging ,declining guards, that we lost our starting center and traded away a rotational starting tackle. Three new faces are needed there................ We have one starting linebacker and need two more. Somebody from the first two rounds would do..................... Our wide receivers scare nobody, but Mr. Miracle Quarterback is going to have those guys free down the sidelines for a 50yard gain and shaking loose from coverage over the middle and getting an average 15 yard YAC on every play. Don't think so. At least one pick in the first 3 rounds is needed............Oh, did you forget that we lost some people as FA who had "DB" as their position? Maybe one more pick in the 1st three rounds is needed here...........................................BUT lets ignore all that and trade the first two rounds from this year and next year's first for a 50:50 shot. Yea, right. With all these needs (six plus a QB = 7) I can not see going in the direction of trading away the draft picks necessary to field a competitive team in order to get a possible star to have wet dreams about. The games are won in the "trenches". A cute rookie QB with a broken leg is not good for anything. I say we should do the following. Stay at #12 in case the QB that the Bills could live with is available. If not, they trade down and get your Bart Starr, Jim Kelly or Dan Marion with a later pick. (with arm twisting, moving up 3-4 spots and losing next year's 2nd rounder would be okay) Here is what we could get with a trade-down from the #12 pick. down to gets us this overall pick ============================== #14............100th player (4th round) #16.............78th player (3rd round) #18............60th player (2nd round) #20............55th player #22.............48th player #24.............44th player #26.............40th player #28.............36th player #30.............32nd player #32...............30.5th player (1st round) . . From Walter Football, here is a list of the players in that 30-55 range that we get for "free" by trading down. (I don't agree that all these guys will be available this low, but it gives you the idea). 30. Equanimeous St. Brown, WR, Notre Dame. Previously: 30 Avg. 23.8 per 30 31. Marcus Davenport, DE, Texas-San Antonio. Previously: 31 Avg. 31.8 per 10 32. Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma. Previously: 32 Avg. 42.1 per 17 33. Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M. Previously: 33 Avg. 25.2 per 30 34. Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia. Previously: 34 Avg. 32.4 per 30 35. Tim Settle, DT, Virginia Tech. Previously: 35 Avg. 34.6 per 10 36. James Daniels, C, Iowa. Previously: 36 Avg. 36 per 9 37. Terrell Edmunds, S, Virginia Tech. Previously: 37 Avg. 37 per 24 38. Justin Reid, S, Stanford. Previously: 38 Avg. 32.8 per 19 39. Will Hernandez, G, UTEP. Previously: 39 Avg. 38.9 per 20 40. Kolton Miller, OT, UCLA. Previously: 40 Avg. 37.4 per 10 41. Leighton Vander Esch, LB, Boise State. Previously: 41 Avg. 48.8 per 9 42. D.J. Moore, WR, Maryland. Previously: NR Avg. 0 per 0 43. Harold Landry, DE, Boston College. Previously: 43 Avg. 32.2 per 30 44. JC Jackson, CB, Maryland. Previously: 44 Avg. 32.4 per 11 45. Dorance Armstrong Jr., DE, Kansas. Previously: 45 Avg. 28.1 per 30 46. Isaiah Wynn, OT, Georgia. Previously: 46 Avg. 46 per 14 47. Kerryon Johnson, RB, Auburn. Previously: 47 Avg. 46.9 per 17 48. Sam Hubbard, DE, Ohio State. Previously: 48 Avg. 45.6 per 30 49. Ronnie Harrison, S, Alabama. Previously: 49 Avg. 29.6 per 30 50. Jordan Whitehead, S, Pittsburgh. Previously: 50 Avg. 46.1 per 30 51. R.J. McIntosh, DT, Miami. Previously: 51 Avg. 54.9 per 9 52. Mark Andrews, TE, Oklahoma. Previously: 52 Avg. 52 per 9 53. Isaiah Oliver, CB, Colorado. Previously: 53 Avg. 53 per 9 54. Ronald Jones II, RB, USC. Previously: 54 Avg. 54 per 9 55. Duke Ejiofor, DE, Wake Forest. http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftbigboard#ixzz5BhirZysC A good center, a good linebacker, a good WR or a good RB. You get an extra solid player, probably a starter, for your effort. If the best QB shots are gone at #12, build a strong team with those 7 picks and take a QB out of the top 15. If we don’t have a QB we’re not going anywhere , I don’t give a F@$@ about a LB or CB , I want a F @&! QB !! Odds are better that we find a LB , OL WR in a 3rd or even 4th rd , i don’t understand this line of thinking ? we use our 1st and 2nd round picks on LB , OL and so on , But the most important position and the one that kept us out of the playoffs for almost 2 decades , will just use a late 2nd or maybe 3rd rd to address it , i though this is the year we finally say enough is enough , we have the ammunition let’s use it and get our QB !!!!!
StevieJohnsonGOAT Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 It's 2018 and there are still people that haven't realized QB is the only position that matters in football. Fascinating 2 1

maryland-bills-fan Posted April 4, 2018 Author Posted April 4, 2018 4 minutes ago, Bray Wyatt said: We did not trade up to trade back Also we do not need a db in the first 3 rounds Okay, how do you know this? A common theme in reconnaissance and in camouflage is that people SEE what they EXPECT to see. I think you evaluated the trade of Glenn as proving that the Bill's plan was solely to move up and draft a QB. I think that is tunnel vision...... I think they wanted to dump an expensive salary-cap-and-declining-abilities player while he still had some value. Did they trade any other near starting players to lose salary and replace with later draft picks who would be maturing at the same, later date? Explain the trades of Goodwin, Darby, Watkins, Ragland, and Dareus, as well. (Have you noticed that the Patriots trade away good, older players a year early for high draft picks to restock the team?)........The Bills could do many things with having the higher pick. One would be to trade further up to get a top QB. Another would be to take a stud player at a different position. Another would be to trade down to get more first three round draft picks. Avoid tunnel vision. There might be a train coming the other way. 1
JPP Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 This is the draft if your gonna try for a QB this is the one! Mediocrity has reigned way too long.....get a flippin QB and the ongoing building cycle wont take as long....

napmaster Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 3 minutes ago, Bray Wyatt said: Oh? Did we not give up pick 21 with Cordy Glenn? Yes, he did. He got $10M off the books for 2019 and also got 400 points draft capital. So effectively a mid 2nd rounder value. If he packages just picks to move up, then I would agree with you and he would never move down from that position. At this point though, a trade down from 12 is not off the table.

Bills have AJ McCarron and Nate "Picked off" Peterman. They are trading up to get a QB. The only question is who and at what pick

cage Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 If they can't move up for the whoever the guy is they want then I think they'll pick at #12,... little chance of trading back down.
