Coach Tuesday Posted April 17, 2018 Author Posted April 17, 2018 1 minute ago, Logic said: On the one hand, I'd really rather see the Bills take a Mike Linebacker at 22 than a center. We get our quarterback for the offense, we need our quarterback for the defense. We could still potentially get Ragnow or Price in the 2nd round. On the other hand, if they get Josh Rosen, I really couldn't fault them at all for pairing him with a blue chip center prospect. Arguably THE top priority once you get a franchise QB is to keep him upright and healthy and to ensure you don't retard his development with shoddy o-line play....even if it means your defense stinks for a year. Either way, landing Rosen would make the draft a success almost regardless of who else gets picked. Especially if said QB is slight and injury-prone...

Beane just has to have the ear of the every team picking before the fins. Each GM has to know that we can beat any offer out there and they must know that trading with another team rather than the Bills will yield a lesser return. As long as that happens and we have a chance to match every offer, we will get one of the top four, preferably not Allen. Who will it be and what will we give up. 1 1

If Bills grab a QB early, particularly if it's Rosen, focusing on high end talent around him should take precedence. I wouldn't doubt we see a couple o linemen, a WR and TE.

However, and I know this may sound funny and I hope this makes sense...I wish (and it could have easily been with some different choices) it could have been a 10-15% better movie. Yes! Im with you. There are a few things in there that are like meh, an okkkaaaayyyy...but Oldman steals the show 1
CEN-CAL17 Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 If Vander Esch is there at 22 he will be the pick... Yes Center is a need but we signed Bodine in the offseason plus Groy can play C/G. I look for possibly 2x OL in the 2nd. But ILB is a huge need. ILB, WR I would say may be bigger needs than OG/C. 2
cage Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 If there's any way to get the QB they want either at 12 or a move-up that only costs one of our #2s that would be an overwhelming victory!!
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 ...not getting to see college ball and QB mocks all over the map, do any of you TBD draft pundits see Rosen available at 9 feasible?..............
John from Riverside Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 I would dance a jig if this happens......dance a fng jib......Bruce Willis style
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 If Rosen falls to 9 the cost to trade up to get him is still going to be a lot. You'll have teams like the LA Chargers and New England potentially willing to deal out first round picks to move up to 9 at that point. Or Arizona. I realize it's only three spots for us, but the bidding war could get expensive still. 49ers will be rewarded well for being the one team inside the top 10 that is looking for quantity over quality.
Andy1 Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 That draft would be the best of all options for the Bills. Maybe we will be rewarded for our years of agony!
dollars 2 donuts Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) I love that these mocks get our hopes up and also pacify us...and I hate them because there is arguably so little chance of them coming true. fandom is a fools occupation and I unfortunately got in at a young age.

Woodman19 Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 You have to figure that once we get to pick #6 with a QB on the board we still want, we are calling each team holding it until either they take the QB we want or they trade it to us. No way will we sit tight and hope they reach 12 with the entire league knowing they have to jump us if they want a QB.

BuffaloRebound Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 I appreciate the info guys like Breer collect and pass on, but when it comes to predicting where QB’s are gonna get drafted these guys are throwing darts or purposely being misled. Guys like Mayock and even McShay/Kiper are actually good at grading and predicting what range non-QB prospects are gonna get drafted. Predicting where QB’s go is about a lot more than production and measurables. Wouldn’t shock me if Rosen or Mayfield go 1. They have no idea how any of the teams have the QB’s ranked.

BillsFan17 Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Nonstop talk of Allen to Buffalo. I am really starting to think its happening.
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 I'm excited about the thought of getting a Pro Bowl center in this mock. Rosen is not my favorite QB but I coached TE's and Ol for 14 of my 17 years and have NO ability to judge QB's. But I would take this draft right now.

LVE is a beast and if we have pick 22 and have a qb already we better take him because if we don't NE will and h ewill torment us for years. Love this guy 1

Maybe taking a potentially fragile Rosen they know they need to be sure he never gets touched? I like Rosen and the attitude stuff doesn’t bother me....but the concussions DO concern me.
