1st Round QB's to Discuss

[Yasgur's Farm]

These 4 are all ranked in the top 32 regardless of position played according to Bleacher Report... http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...ankings/page/2

16 Mitch Trubisky UNC
17 DeShone Kizer Notre Dame
20 Deshaun Watson Clemson
26 Josh Allen Wyoming

IMO, there's merit for the Bills to take any of them... We may even be able to trade down a bit.

After Whaley's comments yesterday, it's obvious now that we are in rebuild mode until we get a SB caliber QB under center. To me... That means we draft a 1st round QB every year until we get him.

Trubisky or none IMO.

On a related subject I was looking at the 2005 QB draft that Tom Donahoe conveniently took us out of (for Aaron Rodgers). Reminded myself of some names that are still suiting up or did until recently. And, of course, a handful of stiffs:

#1 overall - Alex Smith

Other first round:

#24 - Aaron Rodgers (Bills would have picked #20)
#25 - Jason Campbell

Next QB taken was round #3 : Charlie Frye

Other notables:

Kyle Orton - 4th round
Dan Orlovsky - 5th round
Derek Anderson - 6th round
Matt Cassel - 7th round
Ryan Fitzpatrick - 7th round

There were some other stiffs sprinkled in there. Interesting to look back. Roscoe Parrish, *cough, cough.*

Look, anytime you can draft a guy who's LITERALLY ****ING AFRAID OF SNOW to come play in Buffalo, you gotta do it.

[Mahdi]

I like Mahomes.

Plays a bit like Aaron Rodgers...

[Mr. Pink]

Trubisky and Kizer will both likely be gone before the Bills pick.

[swiper]

Right. Would mean trading up some. Jets, 49ers, etc are all looking at this.

[k-oneputt]

Mahomes - in 2nd
Webb - in 4th
Kelly - in 6th

Pick two of the three and put with Cardale.

[EDS]

I would not touch Kizer or Watson in round 1.

Me neither. I like Trubisky but he won't be there at #1.

I like Mahomes better then Kizer and Watson.

[DraftBoy]

Allen returned to school.

[k-oneputt]

I only saw Allen play twice, can't say I was that impressed.

What is it they like so much about that kid ?

Maybe as a late round pick.

Size, Arm, and Mobility. He's still appears quite raw but a lot of people have him pegged as the Top 2018 or 2019 QB.

[Albany,n.y.]

If you're trading down for a QB you like, he's most likely another EJ. Never trade down with a QB in mind because if he's good enough, you want to make sure nobody else is going to draft him before your lower turn arrives. If you have a stiff like EJ in mind, you won't have to worry-you can trade out of the 1st round entirely & nobody is going to be as stupid as you & pick him.

[YardRat]

I'd have to seriously consider Trubisky at 10...pass on Watson on Kizer. I have to look more at Mahomes. Still like Kelly, earlier than the fourth.

[Turf]

Can the Bills make trades for QB's who are potentially FA's before they have to decide on TT's contract?

[Mouldsie]

I want nothing to do with any of them in round 1, maybe one will make it but I lean more towards them all being underwhelming in the Pros. This reminds me of the year of EJ, Geno, and Nassib

[TacklingDummy]

Mel Kiper was on ESPN saying the Bills will draft the Clemson QB, great another Clemson player.

[Mace]

I wouldn't reach for a QB in round 1. They can't afford to reach anymore.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

Id be down with Kelly in the 2nd, provided his knee is healed

[Night Train]

Agreed.

I did hear that Whaley was doing a ton of checking on Chad Kelly, FWIW.
