All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
I think he's a very real possibility. I think he will be there, and that the Bills could easily convince themselves that, under Gailey's tooling, he can become the face of the franchise.
Some heads will implode around here if it happens... but that may be the case anyways regardless of who we take.
would be very excited about those 2 picks, i would go von miller and then cameron heyward but thats me, otherwise i would still love a franchise qb and awesome te... as long as we draft defesne the rest of the way i would be happy...
keep in mind bills fans, every position is a need except rb and wr, literally every spot including qb. so as long as we get a few pro bowlers, than i will be happy regardless of what position. WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF STAR PLAYERS...
I would be happy with Gabbert. He's the best QB in this draft, IMO. And he fills a huge hole on the team for the future, a QB for Fitzpatrick to groom for a year or two to take over and lead this team to the promised land. I also love Rudolph, but would be pissed if they don't do anything to fix their pathetic defense in the first two rounds. If they take Gabbert, then they HAVE to take a DL or LB in the second.
I can't follow your logic. We need defense desparately and you have 2 offensive players up front. I'm not saying they are not good players but they are not where our needs lie.

I think we would be fine Mikey.
I mean at 34, we probably get the pick of the litter at ILB, could still get the 4th or 5th ranked OLB, or would still be able to land a DL that would likely be in round 1 if this draft weren't exceptionally deep at the position.
Martez Wilson, Bruce Carter, Greg Jones, Quan Sturdivant, possibly Cameron Heyward, Phil Taylor, Christian Ballard, Jurell Casey, Stephen Paea... all possibilities at 34.

I've never believed the draft is about trying to fill immediate needs just because they're needs. When you do that....you reach.
I understand the #3 pick may be different because it's so high, and I actually LOVE Miller personally and would be thrilled with him, but the draft is about building a team, not filling a problem for a season.
My opinion is they believe Gabbert is a franchise QB. Just my opinion.

If the Bills do take a QB first, I believe they will definitely go D with the second pick.
Actually, I'll give them one alternative - an OT, as there may well still be a good one left over from the back of the 1st round.
I think they are very serious about trying to solidify our run D, and to do that, we need, at minimum, a good DE, and a thumping ILB. While we might manage to find an ILB in the 4th round, we aren't going to find the requisite quality of DE in the 3rd onwards - even in a 'deep' class.
I'd also say, that it would be highly questionable, that TE would actually be the BPA on the Bills board, at the #34. If the QBs start going early, which with Newton and Gabbert taken, they may well do, that will almost certainly mean that a good DE, and OT, will probably be available at the #34, and I rather suspect that the need for both positions will outweigh the desire for a TE.
IMO, I do. I see similarities to Brees and Matt Ryan. We all know it's a crap shoot. But I think the people who want the sure-fire franchise guy like Luck are kidding themselves if they think we will ever do what it takes to get him. Or even that we will ever be the worst team in the league as far as record goes. That means your stuck with guys that aren't as sure-fire. And in that situation, I like everything Gabbert brings to the table. Smart, athletic, big, accurate, mobile, quick release, strong arm, great work ethic... He needs to develop and will have that opportunity with us.
