It was refreshing watching other teams reach instead of the Bills.

What a relief it was when the Bills took the clear cut best player for their needs, and no brainer pick in Dareus. It was also fun to see other teams make reach picks instead of watching the Bills do it.

WTF is Minnesota thinking? And Tennessee? Locker before Gabbert?

Anyways, good to see Buddy didn't screw up a very hard to screw up pick.

Some people have called the Bills #3 an easy pick, well I think it could have easily been a screwed up pick & most likely would have been in the past.

I agree, it is nice to have a good GM in charge making the right decisions.

I think Atlanta is dreaming if they think they're one WR away from the Lombardi.

And to give up what they did?

It was unreal. They gave up two 1sts, 2 4ths, and a 2nd for the second best receiver in the draft. I'm not sure any other team would make that trade for any receiver playing in the NFL right NOW.

Jones is very good IMO but not NEARLY worth what they gave up. I was flabbergasted.

I think locker will have a much better career than gabbert when it's all said and done. IMHO.

Re: It was refreshing watching other teams reach instead of the Bills.

Who's to say those teams reached? How do you know 32 other teams didn't have Locker and Ponder rated just as high as the Titans and Vikes? None of us have seen any draft boards from any NFL teams so we have no idea where these players were actually ranked. Just because Mayock, Kiper, McShay etc. had these players ranked where they had them ranked doesn't mean all the other NFL teams agree!

I disagree if one QB drafted in the 1st rd is going to have a better career than Gabbert its going to be Ponder IMO

For a defensive minded head coach this move baffles the crap out of me.

I can't believe the reaching for average QB's.

I think they believe their defense is good enough to win it all.........they just need that stud opposite White. If Jones does pan out then the Falcons will have a very potent offense.

I dunno...since the players safely have that judge in their pocket, maybe they want to go out with a bang before the whole thing becomes like the have/have not world of MLB.

They already do.

Re: It was refreshing watching other teams reach instead of the Bills.

It amuses me that so many people on BZ are saying "Well, it was the obvious pick to make, so let's not get too excited, I'd like to see how they do in the next rounds."

Seriously? Do people remember the last several years? I have no problem celebrating an obvious pick. Buffalo had proved time and again that they refused to make the obvious pick. Finally, finally, FINALLY, they did it.

And no, I don't think that means I've compromised my standards. Once they prove they can take the obvious pick, now I expect to see a lot more out of the drafts.

Also, I'm a little shocked at how many people dislike the trade for the Falcons. Do people realize how little the Falcons actually gave up? A late first rounder, a late second rounder and a late fourth rounder in addition to what should definitely be a late first and fourth rounder next year. If you look at the DVC, I don't think even all that adds up to what is necessary (remember, future picks are worth significantly less than current picks of same position). Atlanta made a trade to give them a dominant offense. I loved that trade on both sides.

Re: It was refreshing watching other teams reach instead of the Bills.

I think the ATL trade is awful... they couldve made the same type of move for a guy like Baldwin 20 picks later.
