Re: I Think the Bills are to draft....

Another SEC QB who had a big day was Tyler Bray, showed off some nice throws. He'll need to prove he's got game on the white board though.

It's not just the football IQ that bugs me with Bray, it's also the attitude and maturity. He just screams Ryan Leaf.

Could be, but he could grow up too. His teammates loved him at Tenn.

Re: I Think the Bills are to draft....

NOBODY has more VALUE than a GOOD QB. No matter where he is picked. I would bet the 49ers or Seahawks would now be happy if they had drafted their QBs with their first pick. The Bills may be forced to pick the QB higher than they would like, but Nix has said LB is a position that good ones will be available later in the draft. So if they overpay for the QB & underpay for the LB & they both turn out to be GOOD players, it is a wash.

This not as linear as you make it.

Strategy is what can make a good draft a great one. If the difference between a guy like Wilson who might go in the late 1st and a guy you could get in the early second is small, it may make more sense to take the QB in the 2nd where the value at the pick is better... Theoretically, we would then get much better value from the entire draft than if we took a late 1st rounder in the early 1st.

And both the 49er's and Seahawks used strategy and came out with very good value.

I think both the 49ers & Seahawks came out with good value. However the Bills tried to do the same thing & no QB fell to them so even though they drafted some good players, the past two drafts can be considered incomplete failures. I would take Kaepernick or Russell Wilson over any pick the Bills have made in the last decade. I don't give a damn how drafts are graded, I want a GOOD QB.

As do I.

But due to the high failure rates we have to be smart about when and where we draft that QB. It's one pick but it can affect the team in other ways.

That said, I think there are a few guys who may end up being in consideration there. And as a guy who has wanted the Bills to get the franchise QB for years, I hope they pull the trigger even if it's a bit earlier than the player should go.

Wilson, after a tradeback.

We may need to look at down the line if not in 2013, if Fitz does not get it together a franchise QB. As they could probably beat Fitz even!

I think any of the kids coming out in the draft could beat out Fitz for the starting job day one if given a fair chance.

I think he has a high floor, the question is how high is his ceiling? He had the best game at the Senior Bowl, has the size you want. I heard him on Sirius & he sounds intelligent. If the Bills draft him I'm on board even though I'm a Gator fan.

he's growing on me too. I'm thinking Patterson with the 8th and Manuel in the 2nd
