We finally invest in getting the draft picks to get a true potential franchise qb and we are going for the next Andy Dalton? Horrible. Not only that but there are teams willing to trade out of position to draft a QB. It's a very rare situation and the Bills need to take advantage of it. They missed out on the the Colts pick, they need to go get their guy. 1
buffalobloodfloridahome Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 I've watched Rudolph look fantastic and mediocre. I was impressed at certain games and performances and equally as disappointed in his inability to do simple things in other games.

You have a host of teams that likely could move up to take Rudolph ahead of you. NE, Pittsburgh, easily are two teams that could do that. There's nothing that says Arizona doesn't get a twitchy feeling above you.If it's Rudolph, it's Rudolph at 12 - because nobody is going to move to 11 to take Mason Rudolph. But if you haven't taken a QB at 12 everyone in the NFL knows you are sure-as-$hit taking one at 22 and you are forced to pre-empt them ("Hey Beane - I got Belichek on the other line. You want #15? It will cost you 22, 54 and 65"). If Mason's your guy I think you bust that move early. 2

Steelers play long ball offense. Packers. Panthers. Viks. Eagles. Chiefs. Redskins. Bengals. Also don't buy this he's only a long ball thrower. It's not true.

We finally invest in getting the draft picks to get a true potential franchise qb and we are going for the next Andy Dalton? Horrible. Completely agree. That's a factor that I think largely gets ignored by the pro Rudolph crowd. If we supposedly load up all in to get one of the QBs and we "Losman" the pick again, the kid is going to have zero rope with the fanbase. I just don't think we present an opportunity for Rudolph to be successful. IMO the only options for QB are a trade up for a top 4 guy, maybe Lamar if he fell to 22, or waiting until round 3-4 and going with McCarron, rookie QB, Peterman.

That'll happen to all of them. He needs time sure. But I don't think they Bills will start any rookie QB unless its Jackson because he can run away from trouble.

It's not even close. Basically everything is under 25 yards, even for big arm QBs.

If Cleveland takes Darnold at 1, I think there is a reasonable chance we will pay a king's ransom for 2. I suspect we may take Allen in that case. If Cleveland takes Allen, I think Giants may take Darnold at 2. Jets will go for Rosen at 3 in any case, imo. Would Cleveland trade 4? I think they take Chubb and Barkley falls a bit. My guess is we would trade 12 and 22 to the Colts for 6 and take Mayfield if the Broncos pass on him (I think they will.) If neither of these scenarios work out, I would consider Lamar at 22 if he is there. Otherwise, I take Mike White later in the draft, but if we miss out on one of the big four, it will be a major disappointment and a sign that Beane got blindsided by the Jets.
DrDawkinstein Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 I locked in on Rudolph during the preseason as my sleeper pick. Kinda surprised he didnt grade out higher, but what do I know. I'm all about trading up to #2 and getting a top guy, getting THE guy. But if that can't happen, and we could land Rudolph at #22, I'd be pretty happy with that value. As long as Jackson is still available for AZ at #15, I think we could land Rudolph. Maybe grab a LB at #12, then package #22 and #53 to move up a little so Pats cant jump us for Rudolph.

No matter who the draft he's gonna sit. Also all of these top 4 QBs are overrated and have an Andy Dalton aspect to them. I don't love Rudolph but I think he has just a good a chance to make it in the NFL as Darnold and I just believe he fits personality types for Beane and McDermott. I've said all along the only two I want are Mayfield and Jackson.

GunnerBill Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 17 minutes ago, Chuck Wagon said: I just don't think we have anywhere near the skill talent to allow Rudolph to be successful. Someone brought up Dalton, take out AJ Green and what is Dalton? Rudolph played with superior talent at Oklahoma St, Washington and Ateman are NFL WRs, in a conference notorious for a lack of defense and they still topped out as a 10-3 team that would get trounced in their one big game (Oklahoma) annually. I believe if put into the right situation, Rudolph has a chance to grow into a NFL stater. I do not believe we are the right situation and that's just not something you take a pick 22 (much less pick 12). If he goes somewhere like Pittsburgh, sits for a year or more, then succeeds with Antonio Brown and Leveon Bell there would be people here saying "I told you so" without the ability to understand the difference between the two situations. Situation certainly matters, I don't doubt that. It is hard when discussing fit of any of these guys on the Bills because I have no idea what our offense is going to look like. I don't even know what Daboll wants to run.
DrDawkinstein Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Just now, CuddyDark said: I disagree. But it's the Bills so maybe. Trubisky, Wentz, Goff, Winston, Watson, etc... If they can start right away, so can Rosen, and maybe even a couple more from this draft

At least he'd be productive. I doubt they'd start Darnold in 2018 unless it's week 10. Same for Rosen. Mayfield is the other I think would play early. And then there's Allen who shouldn't see the field in 2018. So what are we saying? Either way we won't know what he is until 2019 anyhow.
