Isn't that what I said like a month ago? Copycat

There's been a rumor of them possibly taking someone like Dalton at the top of the 2nd, but I can definitely see Cam in a Bills uniform

Bills will take Gabbert if they need to chose a QB. I could also see the bills make a run at Vince Young.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft

Bills also have a lot of needs on D, they could go that way and ride it out with Fitzpatrick another year

Agreed. Fitzpatrick had very good games and against good teams. They need to shore up their d-lines and o-lines.

I've got no problem with reaching for a guy if you're convinced he's your guy, but it sure as hell better work out.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft

Mel Kiper now has us picking up Gabbert (he now has Newton going to the Bills)

Washington RedskinsRecord: 6-10* Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri
Gabbert might be more ready than Newton to read defenses at the NFL level, and as a quarterback with very good accuracy, instincts and size, he could come into a franchise in Washington that might need him early. Gabbert is a guy whose stock rose a lot this year and will be under the microscope during the workout process. But what he doesn't give you is a quarterback who elicits a wide range of opinions or the boom-or-bust concerns many have with Newton and Ryan Mallett.

I like that. We'll see what happens.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft

Newton is a winner. Also, he is fully participating in the combine showing his competitive spirit. This guy is going to be a franchise QB within a few years. we will kick ourselves if he is there at 10 and we pass.

Agreed........... He's a winner. J Russel was / is lazy. I hate when they compare the two. This guy has Tebows mentality.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft

The more I read or hear about the QBs in this draft, the more I hope we can trade back, pick up an extra pick & reduce the risk of taking a qb. It just doesn't sound like there's anything close to a sure thing. If we do go qb at 10, I would be happy w/Newton and hope for the best.

I'm of the same thought.. My draft wish list at the QB position is: if we pick at 10-Newton only, then Kaepernick in a (or multiple) trade down or Locker or Ponder in the 2nd. I really don't want any parts of Locker but if he's there at our pick in the 2nd round then he's worth a shot based on his athleticism.

I'm really hoping that we trade down a few times in this draft because its relatively deep in many positions so we need to stock up.

What if we take Gabbert ? I guess what I'm asking is who can they draft that will not have you ready to go all Thelma and Louise ?

Not a fan of any of the QBs currently available for the first round. DE/NT or OLB should be the selection at our current spot in terms of the talent and position of need.
