works out perfectly for the Bills. All they need now is LeSean McCoy injury and they're finally in perfect position to get out of the 20 year QB funk they've been in (though I don't hate Tyrod Taylor he's not a franchise QB IMO).

In this years draft?

Bills are paying back to the devil for their sustained 90s successful
USC QB Darnold (sp)

things change  
pjcas18 : 8/14/2017 9:26 am : link
from August to April but right now there are a few "franchise" QB's in this draft. Darnold from USC (as mentioned), Josh Rosen (from UCLA - one though a shoe-in for top pick in this draft but off-field commentary and good play of others has dropped him some), Josh Allen (from Wyoming, some say the most talented in the draft), Lamar Jackson (Louisville)

So like I said a lot changes between August and April, but quite a few projected 1st round QB's right now.

Jets, Bills, and Dolphins (if they want) can potentially all get QB's this draft. Thought Tannehill is there for a while financially.

Sorry to hear. Shoulders aren't your best friend..🙁
This is a crazy year for QBs even if some QBs stay in college.  
robbieballs2003 : 8/14/2017 9:35 am : link
I went through 2 lists of top 50 and top 25 players in college football from ESPN and NFL.com. This is what was listed.

Sam Darnold, USC - RS So
Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma - RS Sr
Lamar Jackson, Louisville - Jr
Trace McSorley, Penn State - RS Jr
Deondre Francois, Florida State - RS So
Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma State - RS Sr
J.T. Barrett, Ohio State - RS Sr
Jake Browning, Washington - Jr
Josh Rosen, UCLA - Jr
Josh Allen, Wyoming - RS Jr
Jarrett Stidham, Auburn - RS So
Jalen Hurts, Alabama - So
Quinton Flowers, South Florida - Sr
Luke Falk, Washington St. - RS Sr

Even if you criticize some of the QBs, that is a 14 players out of 50 at just 1 position.
That is mostly just the order that the lists ranked the players.  
robbieballs2003 : 8/14/2017 9:39 am : link
The Wyoming kid according to Dave Te should be just below Darnold as he is very similar to Ben Roethlisberger. Dave also said he likes Lamar Jackson a ton.

Clipped a trail sign post on my mountain bike at 30 mph.

Neither is the spine, long term effects of football and years of weight training.

Pretty amazing isn't it.....look at that slop and the NFL continues to be the hottest sport in the land.

Every week, look at the schedule and see the amount of dog games on it.

It's not 100% that Darnald will be even coming out after this year if that's the one everyone is targeting

Don't you just love that Davis Webb pick...
It will be...  
est1986 : 8/14/2017 10:51 am : link
The Jets, the Bills, Cleveland and San Fran fighting for that number one pick... I say San Fran has the best combo of "assets and sucks the most" that they will end up with the first pick or within striking range to trade up for it..

I know, but there are many options, some of whom have to come out this year others certainly will. This is not like the past couple years where teams reach for QB's because they have a need (Jared Goff).

at least not in August, but as we know things change from August to April.

One year in August Andre Woodson was being mocked in the first round of drafts (in fact well after August he was still in the first round).

Miami won't be terrible. Cutler played his best under the Head Coach.

I'm a little more optimistic about Cleveland. I think they had a really good draft and could win a few games. Not saying they're going to contenders, but i don't think they'll be in the running for the #1. Just mho....
I think the Bills may surprise this year
