Rosen is a day 1 starter. 

 

Honestly, I have two guys that I'd trade up for that's it.  The Bills FO probably has more but to me, if it's not for Rosen or Mayfield, I'm not moving.  Darnold's turnovers, and throwing motion concern me.  I'd take him around 10/12 but not before that.  Allen I'd sit right at 12 and take him.  Way too many concerns about him to move up and take him.  Rudolph I wouldn't trade up for, but because of inflation would probably take him at 12.  That's just how I see it.  Outside or Rosen or Mayfield, I'm not giving up the assets for the other guys.

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.

 

Yeah, I dont know who will start where and when, but given recent history, I wouldnt be surprised with any of these guys starting from Day 1. Nor would I be against it.

Trubisky, Wentz, Goff, Winston, Watson, etc... If they can start right away, so can Rosen, and maybe even a couple more from this draft

Those players are better then Rosen IMO. Also I don't believe all of those you mentioned started game 1.

 

Edit: I don't think Trubisky is better than Rosen.

Trubisky, Watson and Goff didn't.

I'd love to have Darnold, but I would sit him behind AJM. I wouldn't spend a 1st round pick on Rudolph.

GET R DUN!

 

The closer it gets to draft day, the more I’m on board with a scenario like this. If he isn’t a huge drop off from the top 4 guys then let’s keep our picks and take him at 12.

Someone probably will. I can't see team allowing the "2nd level QB's" get out of the bottom of round one because they get a 5th year option on them.

I think he is a significant drop off and it would be a criminal overpay to take him at 12.

Yea I wouldn't take Rudolph at #12. At #22 I would be okay with it.  

[26CornerBlitz]

I'd rather take Mike White in a later round vs. Rudolph as a 1st round pick. 

[Will-GM-for-food]

I think he will be available at 22 unless someone like the Pats jump up and grab him. It would be ridiculous to take him at 12 and miss out on a guy like Roquan or Vea. I'm not a supporter of drafting him, but that's the way I see it.

And the two who did start right away won college championships, are big time leaders and love football more than anything. Rosen is a pretty boy, everything must be right kind of QB. He's gonna be Matt Ryan or a Ryan Tannehill type. Injured. Pouty. Follower. You have to build an outstanding team for a player like Rosen. And he never wins.

You are considerably higher on Rudolph than I am.  I admit you have a more professional eye, but I'm still going with my own assessment.  At 22, I can barely tolerate Rudolph.  I would hope a lb would be available at 12 (UGA fan, so I love Roquan Smith.)  All that said, I am not a hater who wants to be proved right at any cost.  Rudolph is a likeable fella and I will root for him to be great if we take him.  I just want more than the next Andy Dalton.

Only problem is because of inflation and because QB is a problem area that needs to be fixed for the Bills you'd probably have to take him at 12.  I definitely don't think he should go there, but hey, if you say I'll take him at 22 then you better get ready to trade up for Falk or White later.  What can you do?

My preference is to trade up as you know.  But if the choice is the next Andy Dalton or AJ McCarron I'll take the next Dalton.  There is a reason McCarron never beat him out.

Disagree on Rosen, but we're all just guessing.

 

I do have to take umbrage with your assessment of Matt Ryan. The Bills would be LUCKY to end up with a Matt Ryan at QB.

I personally think the Bills at #22 is Rudolph's draft ceiling. I very much doubt he goes before that.

 What the heck did Mason Rudolph win?  With better talent I might add.

Not a guess at all. That is who he's been. He gets injured. No one describes Rosen as the leader at UCLA. And I don't think Matt Ryan is bad I think that's Rosen ceiling. 

[longtimebillsfan]

Most if not all of this quarterback draft class will need some developing.  Does anybody on this board feel that there is a member of the Bills coaching staff is good at developing a raw qb?  This has me more concerned than who we draft. To me, Daboll is unproven in this area.
