Then we're left at #12, and are probably desperate enough to grab a QB anyway, likely hoping he ends up pulling a DeShaun Watson. 12. Buffalo Bills (from Bengals) Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville. After trading up from No. 21 to No. 12, the Bills stay put for their quarterback and take Jackson. There's no rush to get him on the field immediately; AJ McCarron will have a chance to earn the job in 2018, but if he flops, Jackson would get his opportunity to be the next face of the franchise. This draft was done with no trades - so I think it is pretty inaccurate - I believe there will be several spots to move up and I would be shocked if there is not at least on trade someplace in the top 10. I don’t know how things will go for the top picks, but I think this is about as lazy of a mock draft as any site puts out. 2

I think they are more inclined to draft Manson Rudolph at 21. Then you would need to draft Rudolph at 12 if you wanted to get him

Especially with how much noise Elway's making about trading down. Agreed. Denver isn’t taking a qb there, they very much want to trade down and the Bills have the most to offer. If it plays out like this, Rosen will be there for the picking, at a fairly reasonable price (12 and 22). 1 hour ago, Mickey said: Yes, because you can always trust what NFL GM's say publicly about their draft intentions. Play it close to the vest? Misdirection? Nonsense. The secret to a solid draft is to burble your strategy to the press. Its like poker, the best plan is to show your opponents your cards. People respect that kind of honesty. Yes, this is the lying season, but teams that announce their pick is for sale generally mean it. What advantage is to be gained by saying something like that if it’s not true? Another GM has only to pick up the phone and he can find out in five minutes if Elway is serious.

Not what I would hope to see.... but will admit that there would be a small part of me that enjoyed the 5th grade class getting it right

Billsfansinceday1 Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 I trust the process so will be fine with their ultimate decision. I personally doubt it will be Jackson but if it is, so be it.
gjv001 Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 I doubt the Bills draft Jackson. He was not invited to One Bills Drive. The shun seems to indicates that Beane and McDermott have no interest in Jackson.
Solomon Grundy Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 1 hour ago, Hatszel said: I think if the qb's are taken we take our LB here and then make a trade up from 22 to take Jackson. I like Jackson, think he is much better than Watson, McBean has not stated he wants a pocket passer, he said you need to be able to stand in the pocket and make passes. Jackson has made improvements year after year in passing from the pocket. I for one am in hopes that Jackson is our QB but not at 12. If we don't get Jackson then I am happy with Rudolf at 22. Hatzel, I see your scenario playing out too. I can see them trying to move up from 22 if Edwards is still there at 12. They'll move to get Edwards and Jackson. They'll move from 22 to 13/14 to get Jackson. Have to get before Arizona

Or the official visit just never leaked. It's smokescreen season.
Tipster19 Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 If this is accurate and Trumaine Edmunds is available then that’s who I hope that’s who the Bills take with the #12 pick.

The amount of people on this board who seem to be okay with watching Nathan Peterman or AJ McCarron for 16 games is truly astounding to me. There is one major goal in this draft. Get a quarterback. You have 5 picks in the first 65 and 6 in the first 96. Get. Your. Guy. Enough of this "what about next year's QB class" crap. 1
Marv's Neighbor Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 IF we stay at 12, I'd rather we didn't "settle" for a QB. Go Best Available Player, and hope to make a deal with another team, later on.

And...for those who think that might be a smokescreen...really? Is there a land rush of other teams sprinting to the podium for Lamar Jackson? Again...really?
Ublaw Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 Assuming we don't move up, if Jackson and Rudolph are the only viable qbs still available at 12, I'm going D and hoping one is available at 22.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 It's like not even having a pick at 12, that's how sure I am that Lamar is a bust.
