I know its early. Most Mocks have the Bills picking #1 overall. Here's a few.
1. Buffalo Bills
Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
Andrew Luck still has a lot to prove, but Trent Edwards has already proven that he is not the Bills’ savior at the QB position. Luck, an effortless thrower of the ball, would finally give the Bills their QB of the future. We doubt that Luck will declare, but he is a 1st-round lock if he does. The 2011 NFL Draft QB class isn’t incredibly strong, but NFL teams will continue to reach for their potential franchise player.
1. Bills: Andrew Luck
na / QB from Stanford
Andrew Luck and Robert Quinn are the safest picks in the draft. Locker has upside but don't forget that every other prospect has room to grow as well, but yes Locker has more potential than Luck and Quinn. Usually players that are labeled as potential never live up to it.
3. BUF- QB Andrew Luck, Stanford
1. Bills: Buffalo Bills: Jake Locker, QB, Washington
Well, that sure didn't work very well. Both Trent Edwards and Ryan Fitzpatrick embarrassed themselves in the preseason opener at Washington. And why are the Bills waiting until the second preseason game to play Brian Brohm? Buffalo's front office is a disgrace.
Bills fans should pray that their team finishes with the worst record in 2010 - maybe that'll force overwhelmed general manager Buddy Nix to draft a quarterback for a change. Jake Locker is mobile and can scramble for chunks of yardage pretty well, so maybe Chan Gailey will actually think he's good enough for his amazing "run, pass short, pass short, run, pass short, pass short" offense.
Locker is the No. 1 quarterback in the 2011 class - for now. Locker should have declared for the 2010 NFL Draft because a billion things can happen over the next 12 months. Maybe he gets hurt. Maybe the scouts see something they don't like and his stock drops. Maybe his teammates don't play up to par and drag him down. Maybe he gets distracted. Maybe general managers become worried that his decision to go back to school means that he's not fully invested in football.
That's a lot of maybes, but just look at recent history: Matt Leinart, Brady Quinn and Brian Brohm all made a huge mistake by not declaring right away.
#3: Bills: Jake Locker
#3
Jake Locker
Ht/Wt: 6-3/226 lbs
Position: QB
School: Washington
Class: Senior
1. Jake Locker
QB from Washington
For now Locker is the consensus number 1 QB and the Bills need one so bad.
2nd round : Clint Boling, OT, Georgia
3rd round : Mark Herzlich, LB, Boston College
2: Bills: Jake Locker
QB from Washington
The Bills finally roll the dice on a QB. Chan Gailey is wanting to run a spread offense in the NFL and Locker can do it.
5. Buffalo Bills - Jake Locker, QB, Washington
Locker could have been the top pick in the 2010 Draft, but he opted to return to the Huskies for his senior season. The Bills haven't been able to find the right answer at QB for some time now, and a player of Locker's ability would be a logical addition here, especially if Buffalo is drafting in the top five, meaning they had yet another disappointing season.
3. Buffalo Bills- QB Ryan Mallett (Arkansas)
If the Bills are picking #3 overall, chances are Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Levi Brown, and Brian Brohm didn’t cut it for them. They could easily blame that on the left tackle position and take a left tackle, which I wouldn’t object to, however, this could be a historically bad class in terms of left tackles. The quarterbacks available at this juncture are much better. If history is an indication, Mallett will be the first quarterback off the board. Jake Locker comes into 2010 as a guy who could have gone in the top 10 in the 2010 NFL Draft, but decided to go back to school. Scouts are likely to overanalyze his game and rip him apart. Enter Mallett, who showed a lot of promise in 2010, but not enough consistency. If he can have a good year in 2010, he’ll be the first quarterback off the board. He has the cannon arm that the Bills’ new regime likes in a quarterback.
2. Buffalo Bills: QB Ryan Mallett, Arkansas #
This franchise needs stability up front but will continue to draft skill players instead. Mallett has the best body of a pocket passer in this year’s QB class. The Bills will continue to struggle unless they upgrade at left tackle and quarterback
1. Buffalo Bills – QB Jake Locker – Washington
Buffalo’s 2010-11 season does not have a great outlooked and it is really based all around the quarterback. This will be Trent Edwards’ last year to prove that he can be the man in Buffalo. I don’t see that happening and they should win the first overall selection in the 2011 NFL draft. Jake Locker was the top rated QB in last year’s draft until he announced that he was coming back to the University of Washington for another year.
2. Bills - Jake Locker, QB, Washington - Simply put, the Bills are facing a tough schedule with heavy issues looming at the QB and OT positions. If they are selecting this early, a franchise QB is in the cards for them.
8. Buffalo: Top Choice would have been: Jake Locker
Ryan Mallett || 8.8% - Selected 3 out of 34
QB from Arkansas
Featured writeup from: july 2010
The Bills don't have a proven QB and unless Brohm or Edwards step up they'll have a bad year and choose first overall; For now i prefer Mallett than the others QB but, last year same month i thought Snead would be a top 5 pick !
2nd round : Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
3rd round : Chris Owusu, WR, Stanford
