Now that Fitz has been cut..

[Bone]

It's a lock we are drafting a QB with the 8th pick. Do you guys agree or disagree? You got to think Geno if he is available or Tyler Wilson. Wilson would remind me of the Tannenhill pick last year but I highly doubt Tavaris Jackson is our starter.

Re: Now that Fitz has been cut..

What worries me about Wilson is that he is not in Mayock's top 5. Anyone know why? Not that I think Mayock knows everything, but he is better than most.

Re: Now that Fitz has been cut..

Geno Yay! Wilson Nay! I'm not sold on Wilson and would welcome a trade down if Geno is gone as think Wilson could be had in the teens to early 20s of the draft. Yet I still like EJ Manuel in Round 2.

Re: Now that Fitz has been cut..

I have a feeling its Wilson at 8 even if Geno is there.

Re: Now that Fitz has been cut..

I wouldn't say it's a lock. I would agree that it's a lot more likely we'll draft a QB at some point, now.

Geno reminds me of Akili Smith.

Re: Now that Fitz has been cut..

Bills have to draft someone as they can't possibly go into next season with just Tavaris Jackson. I can live with Geno in round one but no other QB warrants a first round pick. Sucks that the Bills are in this position.

Re: Now that Fitz has been cut..

I certainly hope not, but the tea leaves are certainly pointing in that direction. My only hope, although I admit it's unlikely, is that another team behind us that is desperate for a QB falls for the 'it's so obvious Buffalo wants a QB' that they are willing to get ass-raped in a trade up with us and give up some extra picks.

Or Aaron brooks

Re: Now that Fitz has been cut..

Geno reminds me of Akili Smith.

interesting comparison... can't say it's completely off base. I think he has a better head for the position than Akili did though. No one is trading up for Geno so if he's there I say he's the pick. If he's not and we stand pat, it is going to be glaringly obvious that we are taking a QB in the 2nd.

Re: Now that Fitz has been cut..

Geno reminds me of Akili Smith.

Why, because they both have the last name Smith and are African American? Akili had one "great" year in the NCAA by comparison Geno had three.

I would love to trade back a little if possible then get a QB & have an additional pick. God knows we have enough holes to fill, we could use an extra pick or two.

Re: Now that Fitz has been cut..

It's a lock that they're going QB, it's also a lock that they're going to be bad the next two years, because they have nothing to really build around, maybe CJ. They don't have a D, not much of an offense.

If they're going to get desperate and reach for a QB they'll solve none of their problems, see the Cleveland Browns last year. This teams won't be good next year, take the BPA at 8, draft a development QB in the third and tank the season. This team needs a 2-14 season, this may be the year to do it too because the top of next years class is absolutely loaded.

Just acquire talent is my preference, regardless of position, mail this season in and go big next year. No point in setting this franchise back further, if that's even possible, with a QB that needs a lot of work.

I think it's a lock that Tavaris is starting Week 1 because a lot of these QBs need work.

Well, Geno couldn't even beat Nassib & the Cuse.

AKA we trade to the top of the 2nd to guarantee we get the QB we want...with only 6 picks in this draft. Personally its to big of a risk to wait till the 2nd round or to even try and trade back in to the first. QB is the pick at 8
