I suspect their mocks closely mirror the mocks in all the other war rooms around the league. I'm also convinced that Beane is totally unaffected by media and fan desires. I get the impression he's going to trust his board, too. So, if the right deal for moving up doesn't materialize, I think he's content with letting the draft come to him. And while I hope he can move up and get a QB he likes, I'm confident he's going to find good players, regardless. Your comments just solidify my feelings about this draft and QB selection. Beane will do the right thing for the future of the TEAM. 1

When do you stop planning for the future and field a contender?

You should always have an eye on the future. When you start making decisions to win exclusively in season ahead you look like the Bills did the last 15 years. I agree once you have the QB in place a lot of other mistakes are masked, and since we haven't had one they are more glaring, but you always need to consider the long-term picture.

MrEpsYtown Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 I think all he is saying, which is what he has been saying all along, is that he has a certain value on certain players. I don't think it means he's fine with whatever quarterback, I think it means they have a couple of guys targeted during different points of the draft and they are not going to reach and overpay. I think they try to get into the top five for Darnold, maybe target Rosen in that 6-12 range. And they have contingency plans either way. They probably have other places in the draft that they have some guys targeted. The interesting thing is the comment about "what flaws are you willing to deal with" quote. I think this takes a guy like the resident tiny crotch grabber off the board. Probably Allen too for inaccuracy. Maybe Rudolph for tiny hands and a weak arm. Those are all things that are probably deal breakers. To me that leaves Darnold and Rosen. Darnold has a turnover issue that can be corrected. Rosen has opinions. They probably like someone in the next tier as well, whether that is Jackson or White or something remains to be seen. They will not force things. 2

The decision affects the entire organization, including the business side. Of course they will want his input. Beane will make the call.
MTBill Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 Let the chips fall where they may. Don't overpay to reach for a QB to satisfy the media. The value in this draft is the 2nd/3rd round picks - which is why what the Jets paid was ridiculous. 2

I'm thinking you do not understand my comments. The Buffalo Bill's have been mediocre at best for the last couple of decades because they don't have a plan, process, whatever you want to call it. I don't have a dog in the QB fight but IF Beane makes a move he will do it with reasoning and not emotions. That's a good thing in my opinion. 3 minutes ago, essential said: Never.

PastorMKC Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 Last week 24 GM's responded to the question who was the top QB: 1. Sam Darnold 17 Votes 2. Josh Rosen 3 Votes 3. Josh Allen 2 Votes 3. Baker Mayfield 2 Votes Darnold is more coveted by most GM's than the others ... 1 1
17 Josh Allen Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) What I got from this is if their 2 QB’s they like the best are gone then bean is not trading up. Also what I got from this and you guys better get prepared for this. We’re going to have Josh Allen, Mason Rudolph or Lamar Jackson as our next QB. This would make me very happy. If I had to guess Darnold and Mayfield are number 1 and 2 on there QB draft board. The Bills will take a QB at 12. If they wait until 22 Rudolph and Jackson will be gone. To many teams with old QB’s have to start finding a replacement. Plus not to mention all the teams that need one. I count 11 teams. So there are 6 first round type QB’s In this draft. so be ready to get used to the idea of having Allen, Rudolph or Jackson as the next Bills QB. Clev Buff Jets chargers NYG pitt NE balt Saints cards miami maybe Den as the 12th team. Edited April 23, 2018 by Thurmanator 12074

I do appreciate the due diligence and hard work of this coaching staff, I honestly feel more confident than I have in quite a while. However, I am hoping that they do not repeat past mistakes and stay conservative, particularly when it comes to the QB position. Yes, there are prospects that can be had later in the draft that could pan out, but I want them to take that risk and try something different. I want them to continue planning for the future, but a future where they are contenders, not still looking for their "franchise" guy. Sometimes they don't fall, sometimes you have to reach for them. 1

No problem. We (the fans) all want that guy (QB) to take us to the promised land. None of us know how Beane and OBD have these guys ranked. I am hoping that somehow it works out that Beane get's one he likes and can add some Compound W (wart remover). I truly think he is the kind of GM that even if this happens and his new QB does not perform the way that he wants he will do what is needed to remedy it.
NickelCity Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 Murph is convinced they like Darnold and Allen best. Hoping against hope that we somehow end up with Darnold.
