Sure they can. There's absolutely NOTHING that points towards him not being readily available in the second round along with the rest of QB's in this class. It's that kind of reaching that bad teams NEVER learn from.
Do I think they will? Yeah, absolutely. They are a pathetically run organization who has never been able to understand their needs or build on current strengths. Absolutely they'd take a trendy wide out.
That and it was Cuse (Marrone/Nassib) who beat the hell out of WVU in that bowl game too.
Well, they did mention a defensive player as well, it's just none have been volunteered besides Mingo.
At #12, the OL's are gone, Millner is gone, Te'o is not worth it at #12, Eifert went up against weak competition in his breakout year like Navy and Wake Forrest so hes not worth it. Rhodes at least has the physical specimen thing going for him. Honestly #12 sucks lol. Trade down or send your picks and get Millner #5. Any pick you make at 12 will leave us feeling empty, unless Johnson or Millner fall down. This draft sucks for value.
Why did you take Amtrak?
Isn't it still cheaper to fly?
Does anyone actually think Barkley will be any good?
Speaking of qb's. I really hope the Steelers don't waste a pick this year on a backup qb. It is a need, but we have a lot bigger ones. I would rather take our chances with Batch and the Raiders leftovers than waste a pick this year. Maybe next year if we do well on the defensive side of the ball.

It really is the equivalent of setting a winning lottery ticket on fire. People are idiots all the time. It takes a special kind of idiot to throw away an NFL career.
Sorry have been lurking for the rest of this but now you've reached the Bills my interest is piqued.
I think the QB they want is Barkley, ideally they want to move back and pick up some picks but they will take him here if they have to they will not wait for him to fall to them in the 2nd round.

Thank god, their late round coverage has been abysmal. They did nothing more than throw up a list of who had been drafted every 30 minutes or so and read the names off.

If it is what they should do, I don't think they should take Nassib. There will plenty of other bad QBs available later. Not sure it should be Austin either though. What are their other needs?

I guess Nassib.
They need a pass rush pretty badly, I stand by my Mingo pick.
There is no QB in this class that I would take ahead of Bridgewater, Fales or Boyd. I'm probably even forgetting guys. Off the top of my head next year just seems so much better. We all know that NFL executives (and fans) have no concept of sunk costs so you can't draft a QB in round one two years in a row. It's impossible to fail fast with a QB essentially. With next years class being significantly better at the top, it makes no sense to reach now. If Nassib is available in the 2nd? Fine, much less perceived risk.

A lot of mocks show them taking Cooper, and I've seen a few with Warmack as well. I don't know how I feel about that, though. I'd say go with Austin. There aren't any QB's in this draft that are worth the 8th pick.

Austin is my pick.
Me too. LJ loves him iirc. Give Kolb someone to throw to, and make Pats weep.

There's more no votes than Nassib votes, but Nassib has the plurality right now. Don't want it to go that way.
Welcome! I'm not sure how Barkley would do in that weather, but you can say the same about Nassib as well

I still say Nassib. I don't think he's worth the #8 pick but the Bills' biggest need is at quarterback and Nassib will fit their system, and I think it's unlikely he's there in the 2nd round. As ez said, a smart GM would wait until next year to draft a franchise QB, but if we're playing fantasy GMs right now, then we have 94 year old Ralph Wilson screaming in our ear that he needs his franchise QB right god damn now.
Tavon Austin would be a good pick though.

That would be totally Bills of them.
As soon as one team takes a qb, all of the other qb-needy teams panic and then start reaching. It happens every year. The good news for those teams is that those contracts no longer destroy your franchise.
I'm ok with the reaching IF the guys in charge are absolutely sold that the rookie qb is the guy. If you believe that qb is going to lead the franchise for years then, by all means, take him. Whenever, wherever, it's worth it. That being said, none of the qb's in this year's draft is a can't miss prospect, but I think that a couple of them have top of the line potential.
LJ wants Austin as well. We're going Austin, since we Nassib guys are sort of reluctantly going that way
1)Chiefs--Joeckel
2)Jags--Fisher
3)Raiders--Star
4)Eagles--Dion Jordan
5)Lions--Dee Milliner
6)Browns--Sharrif Floyd
7)Cardinals--Lane Johnson
8)Bills--Tavon Austin
9)Jets--On the clock

Jets could go a lot of different ways. Tons of needs

I'd go with Mingo to the Jets here, they need a pass rusher.
Chance Warmack to the Jets. Rex Ryan can work wonders with anyone he fields on defense, so that can be addressed at 13. If he wants any chance to save his job, he needs to go back into the pure ground and pound mentality, which will be a lot easier with Chris Ivory, Mike Goodson, and Bilal Powell than it was with Shonn Greene. Warmack is a stud, and you can just tell his ass is begging to be run into.

They can most likely do that with the 13th though.

Ansah or Cooper imo.
Would be stunned if they passed on Geno though if this played itself out.

That's what a lot of recent reports have stated. Of course, this is prime time for smokescreens, but I don't think the Bills are smart enough to ever camouflage their true intentions. Recent word is that it's either Nassib or Barkley with their first pick, whether it comes at 8 or later with a trade down.
I disagree. Titans at 10 and Chargers at 12 both need guards.

Jets select Geno Smith.

Mingo for the Jets. They need pass rush desperately.
Fingers crossed!

So their first two picks are going to be 2 of 3 of a guard, Mingo, or Geno? If that's the case I would say Mingo here. Geno with 13 if for some odd reason Chance and Cooper are gone
