    I Think the Bills are to draft....

    Tyler Wilson.

    I know it's early but they seem to be showing alot of interest in him.

    Wilson at # 8 ?

    His tiny hands concern me.

    Can he grip a ball in the rain and snow and be able to throw with velocity?

    Maybe, but not at 8.


    My prediction as of today: Cordarelle Patterson and then Tyler Wilson. Mark it down!

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

    I gave up trying the futile attempt of trying to read the minds of our inept drafters years ago. I can only guess that if the Bills scouts like a QB at 8, he's the wrong guy.
    Now I'm not trying to be a jerk, but the Bills scouts seem to have no ability to get the right QB here. This goes all the way back to the 1st attempt at replacing Jim Kelly with 2nd round pick Todd Collins and continued with wasted picks on draft choices or trades for Billy Joe Hobert (3rd rounder for a few months on the roster), Rob Johnson (1&4) Drew Bledsoe (1st rounder for 3 years of service), J.P Losman (another 1) and Trent Edwards(3-which was part of former #1 McGahee trade). It carried on the last 2 years when the Bills were satisfied enough with Ryan Fitzpatrick not to bother wading into a very deep pool of QB talent & now they want a rookie QB when the draft class is the worst in recent memory. The only sure thing is unless the new guys have a huge influence on who we're drafting, our track record indicates that for the past 18+ years the Bills are extremely bad at evaluating QB talent and I can't have any faith on any QB they choose to join the merry-go-round of futility at that position.

    His two biggest weaknesses are his Hands and his footwork. And one is fixable.

    I really, really want him in a Bills uni.

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

    The only QB I would even consider drafting at pick 8 is Geno Smith. Anyone else I would trade down for and take whomever they think is best from Barkley, Wilson, Nassib, Manuel or Glennon. Yet I think all of the one's I mentioned outside of Smith are questionable 1st Round picks but if we trade down to the mid twenties and acquire a 2nd or 3rd rounder I don't mind reaching for a QB if they peg one guy superior then all the rest.

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

    Every "good" site that I take a look at has Tyler Wilson as a 2nd/3rd rounder. Do I care? No, I'm the guy that thinks no matter what round, if taught well, can succeed in the NFL. It's an entire team, not just 1 player.

    That being said, shore up another positional need at 8. Most of the posters on this board wanted us to deserve the spot at 8 so let's do something good with it rather than win. If it's not Smith or Barkley at 8 then I don't want them, because.. Guess what, they'll be there in the 2nd round.

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

    I'm with you on this...
    I watched a lot of Tyler's games and I have always liked his play.
    I actually think he will be the best QB in this draft.
    Would not surprise Me if Tyler Wilson is the Bills QB at#8

    Marked.

    I'm trying to think, what year did you have that stunning run of correct draft picks over at the range? And who were they?

    this......they would most likely need to trade back to the 1st to get Wilson though.

    I posted in another thread that Nix reiterated a QB needs to be drafted a round earlier than you would like. That sounds like the first rnd to me.

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

    Its hard to predict the draft but these QBs are lack luster IMHO...I could see only one going top 10 and the rest tumbling down the board. I personally like Barkley the best, but my gut tells me Geno Smith goes first and the others sit around for awhile.

    I've called all of Buddy's 1st round picks so far but the all good looking mock nailed like 4 of the picks in 2007. I also got lucky in 2001 as an ignorant middle schooler I correctly predicted Clements, Schobel, and Henry

    What do you like best about Barkley? His arm strength? His mobility? The fact he was Coached up by Lane Kiffen? I don't like any of those myself.

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

    We should just dump the number 8 pick for multiple picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
