Re: BBD Mock V1.2

I'd be really happy if we could get the 3rd best QB in the 15 spot.

We can't wait any longer. We have to go after a QB and we have to do it in the first round. If you like one, move up and get him, I don't even care anymore.

I can't keep watching Fitz skip the ball into the intended receiver. There's just no hope left there.

I think if we do that and go out and get the best LB on the market and draft one more in the second round, then we'll be sitting pretty.

Well I think there is some quality in Round 2 as far as the QB's go. I really like Dysert in Round 2 or Manuel who our writer likes as high as 15.

If you like him in round 2, then take him in round 1.

I just don't think they can afford to gamble and not get their guy.

I think they wanted Tebow in 2010 and Ponder in 2011, but waited hoping that they would get them in round 2.

QBs always go higher than you expect (unless there's a major flaw), so there's no point in screwing around.

Not just no, but never ever.

Re: BBD Mock V1.2

The Bills would have the 21st pick. They're the 6th seed in the AFC right now.

Not doing reverse playoff standings, straight SOS tiebreakers on least wins.

Re: BBD Mock V1.2

knowing this team's recent history, they will likely wait too long to pick the QB they figure is ideal, and watch a team draft him just before them. Also, 9-7 is still a very realistic possibility. I don't know where that puts them in the draft order if that is how they finish the season.

That's old thinking. With the way rookie contracts have become so much more team-friendly, QBs just don't fall like they used to. We can't afford to watch all our 2nd/3rd/4th option QBs get drafted and end up saying "Welp, looks like Fitz/Tarvaris is gonna get another year to prove themselves." If the QB we want is going to be drafted ahead of us, go get him. If not, grab him at first opportunity.

You never reach for need, always pick to maximize value.

I'm only talking about a QB.

They ALWAYS go higher than people expect, so if you think he could be a franchise guy, then take him in the first round.

Dareus over Ponder was a no-brainer right?

WRONG. The Vikes are 4-2 and Ponder is playing like a top ten QB in only his second year.

It is VERY rare to be successful in the NFL without a good QB and until you find one, it should be the number one priority.

When your need is a QB, I'm ok with them reaching for need.

We will NEVER be successful with Fitz, so we need to move on.

It's not a reach if you get the guy you want anyway.

You could talk about any position the answer is still never ever.

Yes Dareus was and is a no-brainer over Ponder.

I don't disagree with it being priority #1, but that doesn't mean you become reckless with your draft philosophy. That's how you end up with JP Losman.

It is if you wanted him in Round 2 and took him in Round 1 instead. You always maximize your value, if your need isn't there go to the next one and the next one. Get the best player possible for your football team, don't reach down into a lower round grade simply because you want a QB or whatever position. That's foolish.
