Ok, so say that we trade Peppers to some team, and we get a first rounder in the 9-17 range....

Say that the teams above us pass on a guy like Mark Sanchez, who is a great prospect, and could be a really good QB with a few years to sit and learn from a veteran. What would you guys think if we drafted him?

And I know, I know....USC QB's suck blah blah blah.

If we take a QB (we won't) I really hope we stay away from the upper tier this year. Stafford looks like a good prospect but will be gone very early and get one of those rookie contracts that makes my eyes bleed when I read them.

Sanchez has one year starting on a team with an overload of talent. He might turn out great, but no one really knows at this point. Risky. Plus the sexual assault charge (was dropped because there were no other witnesses) might give pause.

Maybe try to snag Davis in the second if we really want young, decent talent to develop, or a small school QB later on.

I'm pretty positive our QB rotation is Delhomme/McCown/Moore again next year. Who is the rookie going to supplant, anyways? McCown will be #2 because of game experience. He'd need to beat out Moore.

I am kind of getting tired of all this assumption that we won't take a QB in the draft. Its not like Fox and Hurney haven't drafted a QB before, ya know? Bare in mind that neither of them were successful but still.

and I tend to remind folks that if it hadn't been for the Texans taking Carr #1 back in 02, we would've probably taken him.

Point being is, despite who is behind Jake, I am not ruling out the possibility of them taking a QB at some point in the draft but I think it will all depend on what we do with Peppers, if anything.

Do I think we will draft a QB in the 1st? IN MY OPINION, no but stranger things have happen. Last year, I didn't think there was a remote possibility that we would take a RB in the 1st either, yet we did.

Just my two cents

I don't think we'll never take a QB, but that our org is just really comfortable with our stable right now. I dislike Jake, but they don't and have a lot of confidence in him still. I also remember reading (maybe Gantt) that we had been chasing McCown for a while before we finally landed him, so we like him. That leaves Moore in the #3 spot who seems to be well regarded and would probably have to be blown out in training camp to get shoved out of that spot. We'll have to pick up someone for the PS, so maybe a late round or undrafted guy again this year who they see some potential in.

      Bryce Young has now played one full seasons worth of games since returning from his benching in 2024

      Depends on who is available that free agency cycle, which we would never know, sadly.

      Bills predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I am not getting too far ahead of myself on expectations. I predicted 4-7 wins and I feel pretty good about that considering the rest of the remaining schedule.  The biggest remaining thing to figure out is Bryce. We have to get that situation determined over the remainder of his starts. I am 90-10 against picking up that 5th year but that scenario should immediately involve a trade when that happens. I suspect it will not happen that way at all. Ekwonu looks great, so that fantastic. Brown and Horn are staying healthy and living up to those massive contracts. That's amazing. And the 2025 guys are looking filled with promise. Sadly the 2024 class just keeps looking worse.  So my remaining focus is on the development of TMac, Jimmy Horn, Coker, XL, Scourton, Umanmielen, Evans, etc. If we can get a few wins from that group this roster feels demonstrably better. Wharton has played well for the FA pickups too.

      I am gonna say that I don't know that all of the top 15 QB's would this offense cooking. Not only due to fit but I also have yet to be super impressed with DC the playcaller. For all the talk of DC being hamstrung by Bryce, I am not convinced he is a terribly adept OC.  Not saying the bulk of our offensive struggles are not primarily Bryce but I wouldn't be so sure an upgrade at QB would instantly turn us into an elite offense. I still question DC. Also, I will point out that most top 15 QB's would not be super pleased to be looking at the prospect of our WR Corps and TE group.
