But they also may have had some intel that the Redskins or Dolphins or some other team liked Jones and might take him in round 1. Everyone is assuming that’s not the case, but we don’t know. This. Teams always have a different valuation on players than the draft pundits and "fan wisdom". Sometimes it's higher, and sometimes it's lower. The bottom line is if a team really wants a QB, they better get him and not assume he'll still be there rounds later. That's the strategy that had the Bills passing up chances at Wilson and Cousins and Foles in favor of ...OK, let's not go there. 20 minutes ago, Warcodered said: You are f'in kiddin me.

With that interview with his dad that got reported the other day and this maybe there were reasons for the Giants not to like Haskins but then again if he can play it won't matter.

Broncos could still jump up from 41 and snag Lock.

What grab him in the second instead of the 1st where they'd have a 5th year option on their next qb? That doesn't scream excitement to me I'd bet they're looking to the next crop of QBs to find their franchise Quarterback.

I don’t get the Lock Hype. He is whatever to me but I could be wrong. 39 minutes ago, stosh64 said: Haskins, "The league done messed up". His entitled attitude turned me off last night. Time will tell if he can back that up. So happy with our QB. Eh, I don’t get mad at a player for getting man. I’d be pissed if Jones got drafted ahead of me too. and I think Haskins can be really good even though Washington is a joke organization.

Seattle didn't have a 5th year option for Wilson, Washington had a 5th year on RG3, but not on Kirk Cousins. They both still did good things for their teams. Dalton, Garroppolo. The 5th year is nice, but it's nice at every position. 4 minutes ago, C.Biscuit97 said: I don’t get the Lock Hype. He is whatever to me but I could be wrong. As I told my buddy last night who hadn't heard of him, he's an overhyped, raw Mizzou QB. Blaine Gabbert 2.0. Fortunately, he won't have to deal with the high expectations Gabbert had due to his selection spot. He's got potential. I think sitting behind Flacco for a year or 2 would do well for him.

From what I saw, he was like Ryan Tannehill. He's big, has a strong arm and is reasonably athletic. I think those traits are pretty important to Beane and Gettleman.

Horrible downfield accuracy. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/daniel-jones?id=32194a4f-4e16-5462-39a4-3b4fa743c66f

Oh and Gettleman had nothing to do with the drafting of Cam Newton. Just as an FYI.

#34fan Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 If it doesn't work out with Gary or Jones ( and soon) Gettleman basically fired himself.... As did Mike Mayock… Gruden may get more time on reputation, but he'll have to throw Mayock under the bus.

But thanx G-man, all mocks said we needed two overreaches @ QB to score a top 5 talent at 9 and you are welcome to my liquor cabinet anytime. I'm quacking open a cold one for this amazing draft right now. Yes I said amazing and I meant it. A grade draft.
Doctor Duck Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 On 4/26/2019 at 4:59 AM, Coach Tuesday said: But when you factor in the stupidity of last year's draft - taking a running back at 2 in a QB-heavy draft where everyone knew that the 2019 crop of QBs was going to be a huge downgrade - he's a moron. They could have Darnold throwing to OBJ with Josh Jacobs taking handoffs this year. Gettleman is a clown show. Look, what you say Is True. However Gettleman has been a blessing to our Bills 1st round opportunities 2 years in a row. This is special and makes we wonder if Beane has influence over him. Seriously, I've never seen any Bills drafts like the last 2. Beane is a Wizard, like the Ozzy song. Or a Jedi??
