Not an expert but seems like a bad decision.  

 

Worth a camp arm for the Bills as UDFA?

I think that’s a possibility 

[PetermansRedemption]

Yikes. Not a good decision at all IMO. I was not

impressed by him this season. I doubt NFL scouts will be either. Poor ball security, benefited from good WR’s. Shouldn’t go any higher than the 5th round. More likely 6,7 or UDFA. 

[Bangarang]

He’s not an NFL QB.

[Buffalo716]

Congrats Tyree. He will become the first UB QB drafted in modern ERA

 

thank you for what you did for the program and best of luck in the future 

 

Should get picked around round 5ish

 

Horns up ?

Wow. Figured he’d try to elevate his status with one more year of college.  But that could also backfire based on how his game was trending.  Good luck to Tyree.

I think it’s a good decision personally. This QB class is so weak that someone is going to take him. Next year’s class looks a lot tougher. This is just a down year for the position. He has raw physical tools. In the mid to late rounds you are probably looking for a “toolsy” prospect instead of a “pro-ready” guy like Peterman.

Peterman was drafted in the 5th round as an at best backup prospect I see Jackson being drafted lower than Peterman. I wish him the best. He had a good college career but I was disappointed in his last year because he didn't seem to advance his game. That was telling. I wish him the best.

This class is not good though. If you had a choice to take a guy late that has limited upside or a lottery ticket which way would you go? I’m buying lottery tickets late. I’d much rather draft a guy like Tyree that develops or washes out than a guy that will never be better than bad. You can find a zillion guys on the street to do that if you need it. The Bills added Barkley and Anderson off the street and both were better than Peterman. Don’t bother with guys like him or Levi Brown or Gibran Hamadan. Buy lottery tickets because you can always find a competent back-up.

I have no problem using a fifth round pick on a qb who you believe can be a backup qb in this league. If I am going to use a lottery ticket pick I would use it for another position such as running back or even DB or a small school prospect with tools for those other positions who are more likely to hit the jackpot for you. I'm comfortable in saying that I believe that Peterman will turn out to be drafted higher than Jackson.

We disagree on the backup QB as a draft pick at this point. You can throw a rock and get a guy to fill that role. As an example, if one of these QBs went out now and his team needed a guy they could add Sam Bradford, Jay Cutler or Matt Moore. Every one of those guys is WAY ahead of where a young backup is. You don’t need to waste a late round asset on a low ceiling QB. It is a terrible strategy. Either go for a guy with the tools to eventually play or fill out the back of your roster with guys that will contribution special teams. 

 

We will see I guess but I doubt it. It will take one team to look at Jackson’s raw skill set and take a swing on developing him. I’m thinking he goes late 3rd to 4th. He is Cardale Jonesish.

Cardale Jones played in a big time program while Jackson didn't. I believe you are over-valuing Jackson's draft status. I stand by my prediction that Jackson will be drafted at a lower spot than Peterman. That's how I see it. Don't get me wrong I wish Jackson the best. Without a doubt he helped elevate the UB program.

CBS Sports says he could be a first rounder:

I will say this much...........I think he was more likely to HURT his stock transferring to and playing in the SEC.

 

He's not even SEC ready let alone NFL ready.

 

[row_33]

Hope he gets a chance if he really deserves it.

Draft Him AND Anthony Johnson... Our QB room consists of a suspect backup, an old and not-so-wily veteran, and a rookie who's development is uncertain.

 

This offense needs to be able to put a different product on the field, in the event the current one flops.

I wouldn't, but good luck to him. But yes on Anthony Johnson.

I'd be shocked. I wonder if Todd McShay is consulting him?

Wish him the best but I think it's a bad decision. Should have just stayed at UB. Would have had 2 young studs coming up in WR room. With one of those rated as one of the highest rated recruits ever at UB.
