If Geno Smith doesnt go to KC i think he falls to us

[Grundy208]

Not really. I think Barkley is the best USC quarterback USC has had. Most people, including Pete Carrol, thought Sanchez should have stayed in school another year. He wasn't ready for the NFL and now look at him. I think Barkley will be the best quarterback in this class.

And this guy knows USC QBs.

[HiddenInLight]

If he falls to us I find it hard to believ e the bills will pass on Smith.

[SpielmanGilchrist]

Down year for QBs if we're talking about Geno Smith as the first off the board. But it would make sense that we miss out on the next great crop of QBs coming down the pipeline.

Picking Smith in the top ten would be a reach at this point seeing that as of right now no QB is rated higher than 20 by the experts.And the Chiefs seem to know this.Their new Gm is on record as saying they will go BPA at one and not reach for a QB.Which means that their GM like many don't think that there is a QB worth taking there.The same tact that the Bills should use.So Geno would not fall to us he would be a reach for us as would Barkley.

I would like to trade back and pick 2 QB's and a LB in the first 2 rounds.

A serious question or two.

The Packers got lucky that Rodgers was still there. If he'd been gone, where would they be now? If they always draft BPA, obviously the BPA has never been a QB, so they wouldn't have drafted one. So where would they be now?

And will the Chiefs still be feeling the same way if they go BPA every pick for the next three or four years and build up a good roster that never goes anywhere because Cassel is still their QB because the QBs they liked were always gone by the time their value rolled around?

I have been looking at a ton of mocks and if Geno doesn't go first he falls to us at 8 everytime. The only game I watched of Geno was against the Orange and Marrone. Does he have what it takes to be our franchise QB? Is he a pure pocket guy or is he a dual threat? Can someone give me a lil info on him......

I have no clue why people keep saying he can be a "dual threat."

He's far from a "dual threat." He rarely runs and is as much of a "pocket passer" as there is in the draft. His career long is a 29 yard run and has a career total of 342 rushing yards at a 1.4 YPC clip...Not a "dual threat."

Sure, he could run a bit if he wanted, but he's nowhere near a Robert Griffin III, Russell Wilson or even an Andrew Luck for that matter.

[John Cena]

Even if he is there, I have a hard time believing the entire Cuse coaching staff (basically) would prefer him at #8. I suspect they go BPA at #8 and hope Nassib is there in rd 2.

This would be ideal, but I could see AZ snagging him in the 2nd right before us... If buffalo don't take him @ 8, I think they'll have to trade back into the bottom of the 1st to keep him away from KC, AZ, or Jax.

He is mobile, but also keep in mind that college stats reflect the yardage lost in sacks against the QB...in other words, when a QB takes a sack, the lost yardage reflects as a run attempt.

He isn't Cam Newton or RG3....or even Wilson, who ran a pro offense while he was in college.

Geno Smith is a very mediocre NFL QB prospect.

That is all I have to say on the matter.

Carry on.

I have been saying the same thing. Let's take our chances with FA, then go for a big name next draft.

[gspec]

count how many of his passes are 5 yards or less and his WRs turn them into good gainers. his stats are so misleading because of the number of screen plays and short passing routes they have. we should be more focused on grabbing some of the WRs he has rather than him...

He doesn't run. He's also not a "dual threat."

I know how the stats work.

He was sacked 78 times in his 4 years at WVU which means he actually "ran" the ball 167 times in 4 years.

The Bills will continue with Fitz starting every game he is not out of due to injury.

All were dead wrong on the new HC, will all be wrong on the draft as well.

Nothing learned, nothing at all...

[youthemanog]

geno can't play in bad weather. In the pin stripe bowl he was like a deer in headlights. He was awful

Please explain exactly why you think both Oakland and Arizona would pass on Smith.

[John from Hemet]

If ever there was a year to trade down and take a QB so we can take 2 LB's high after that this is the year.

[WhenTheFitzHitsTheChan]

Please explain exactly why you think both Oakland and Arizona would pass on Smith.

He already said. Because the mocks don't have him getting drafted by those teams......hahaha

[izlye]

let's be honest here...people assume Smith is 'duel threat' because he's black.
he's as duel threat as Fitz is, can run...kind-of...

but i find it hard to believe Bills would draft him even if he was there, it was either the cold/snow or Marone that made him look straight bad in the pinstripe bowl

....Barkley or Nassib for us boys
