I've been thinking about this, after seeing all the mock drafts about getting Big Ben or Phil Rivers. I say NO to both! Remember all the complaints about drafting Willis McGahee last year? People said that it made zero sense, because we should've gotten someone who would make an immediate impact. Well, I'm thinking the same thing about quarterback. We already know that the coaching staff LOVES Bledsoe and if they fix him, he will be the starter for a couple more years. Why draft a player in the 1st round with such a high pick, that is going to sit on the bench for at least 1 year? Big Ben played against mediocre teams and will need time to develop. Rivers is young and looks good, but he also needs a year or two to develop. There are going to be some damn good players available to us that will help us immediately! (Some of these will be available....Mike Williams, Roy Williams, Reggie Williams, Kenechi Udeze, Kellen Winslow Jr., Tommie Harris, Chris Gamble, Vince Wilfork, Shawn Andrews) Or the Bills could try to trade down and get some other top players (Vernon Carey, Lee Evans, Ben Watson, Jake Grove, Rashaun Woods, Michael Clayton, or Will Poole), plus an extra draft pick or two. I know that many of you will disagree with me, but just think about it. Besides, when is the last time that a 1st round quarterback took his team to the Super Bowl? The last few years, the QBs were late round QBs or undrafted. Plus, you can still pick a solid quarterback of the future in the 2nd or 3rd round (JP Losman, Matt Schaub, Josh Harris, Cody Pickett, or even Drew Henson). Why not draft an impact guy in the 1st and then go after a QB later? Does a QB in the 1st really make sense? I don't think so!
