    What if...

    ...we don't take any QB's in this draft?

    How would you feel about it?
    For the sake of this evaluation, let's say we pick Dion Jordan in the first (he is available on Mayock's and DraftBoy's mock drafts) and the best available WR in the second (this one is trickier, I don't know who, but going by the 2 mocks mentioned before, I think could be any of the following: DeAndre Hopkins, Keenan Allen, Cordarelle Patterson, Justin Hunter, Robert Woods, depending on how the top of the second round falls and I seriously have no idea).

    Also, what do you think are the odds of that (taking no QB's) happening?

    Then I would suggest that Buddy Nix be kicked in his sagging ballsack, but clearly he has no balls and that is why he has not found a QB in his time in Buffalo.

    Buddy just retire.

    Re: What if...

    I'm honestly fine with no QB this draft, but only if we get a rock-solid guy at #8. We arent gonna be great whether we get a QB at 8 or not, so I'd rather go with the best player available.

    I know this goes back to the same old argument of "If we never draft a QB we will never get a good one", but WHAT IF none of the QB's in this draft pan out? This is a bad year for the draft so why take one just for the sake of taking one?

    For the record I would like to take either Smith, Barkley, Nassib or Manuel (ranging from Rounds 1 to 3) but if they dont feel any of these QBs are going to succeed, I'm going to have to defer to their opinion.

    Why not give Kolb every chance to succeed? Build up the OL and weapons.......draft a QB if it makes sense (i.e. Barkley at #41 is an example) but do not force a QB selection....this is why I want Warmack at #8

    Nix has already said he thinks there are 2 or 3 QB that could be franchise QB.

    That doesnt mean he's willing to take one at our given picks, or that they are available at a reasonable spot when our pick is up

    A franchise QB is worth #8. He either lied or is taking a QB at 8 imo.

    Re: What if...

    Could be Warmack too in the first. Then I guess we would go a combination of WR/LB/TE with the next two picks.

    I went with Jordan because it's draft's eve and suddenly he's slipping to #8, plus I have a "feeling" we won't invest picks on the OL this draft.

    qbs are the hardest position to evaluate, hell i remeber people saying leaf would be awesome and manning would bust.... this argument comes with the presupposition that all qbs will fail. with the way the nfl is, and the complete toss up as to which of these qbs will pan out, you almost have to take one, every year in the 1st 3 rnds if you dont have a franchise qb..... even if you have brady, you should take a qb every 2-3 years late in the draft, the postion is that important.... i dont even understand how one could say this.

    at an absolute minimum, we need to take a qb rd 2... i mean wtf

    i see the warmack pick, possibly the next will shields, and giving us dominant early 90s oline. but we must take a qb rd 2.

    personally, i want geno, barkley or ej

    i really want barkley or ej at 8

    Re: What if...

    I don't want to reach and I'm not interested in trading up, so the distinct possibility exists that a guy we wanted isn't there in the 1st or 2nd. That said, there should be one there in the 3rd or 4th, but the odds of them making it as a starter go down greatly. So long as we go into the draft with a "don't force on a need" approach I think we'll be just fine, even if it means not drafting a QB.

    Re: What if...

    Even if there is some kind of crazy run on QBs and we miss the top tier guys, we absolutely must take a late rounder to roll the dice on. Matt Scott, Zac Dysert, etc.

    I think Dysert make go higher than some think, same with Scott. Maybe even the bottom of day two, can see a day three team with a high pick swapping picks.

    Think they'll take a QB no question, don't want them to force the issue however. They better be right if they take one early, make or break decision for this org/staff.

    i dont think its that big a deal if they take a qb rd 2, or even rd 3 and that qb busts. either way, a 2nd rd qb wont play for 2 years, assuming kolb can stay healthy....

    HAHA.

    As far as Warmack... Is he THAT superior to Levitre that the Bills refused to pay to retain?
