He's missed team meetings, and has been healthy scratched and benched for that. Some teammates have told him to "grow up" (Dion Dawkins), while others have said that he's still quite young (Tyrell Shavers) and that's a product of his youth.

I'm not saying he's going to be a perfect solution for our receiving corps (and I'd still take a receiver with our first or second), but Buffalo's management has been just as shitty with their football team as their hockey team, and when he's had those chances, he's produced. For a fifth-round pick, learning from other receivers like Adams and vets like Stafford, I'm willing to take that chance, and it has to be better than spending ten million on Tutu for what he's produced.

I know you really love your favorites to the death, but this doesn't sound like a "we not me" player. Likely not a culture fit with us.

I think if Simpson sits a year or two, gets a little bigger in the weight room, and learns behind Stafford and or Garrapolo, I think get could be a better Brock Purdy. He has a solid arm and he is considered a good processor. That's something a lot of these kids lack. He just needs more game experience.

Maybe sitting a few years, playing in preseason and a few reg season games here or there if injury hits, he could develop into a very good QB. We won't find another Stafford. If one falls into our laps then you move on to that guy.

I trust McVay's instincts on the QB. So if he reaches for Simpson I'll get behind it as always and cross the old fingers. And I don't hate Simpson, just feel like he blew a chance to overcome some of the questions on him down the stretch in how he played. And meanwhile he's being listed way too high in this draft.

Taking QBs in the mid to late rounds is like fishing in bad waters. You probably won't catch anything, but if you don't cast you'll never know. So really I don't care who they take. Hopefully it's a QB that I like but as long as it's a midrounds investment I'm good with it.

From the little I know of the kid, I think he's a good prospect to draft mid rounds and have sit. I just don't think he's going to get there and I absolutely do NOT want to spend a 1st and possibly even a 2nd on him.

Agreed. And as much as we may not like the quality in round 1 in this class... There are other QBs in this draft who I am fine taking at a way cheaper price for parking on the depth chart. Nussmeier is just one of them. Gronowski is another. Payton. Klubnik. I just got done watching Gronowski and he's got a good feel to him in that pocket. Like what usually happens to me with the draft the more of them I watch the less I feel like we have to have this one or that one. And that is certainly true with these QBs.

We're not gonna get a strong armed upside QB. He's gonna have holes in his game, whether it's talent, experience behind center, etc.

And isn't the knock on Ty how he's got a bad feel for the pocket?

Maybe so, but when he was on that run of form he was pretty smooth in the pocket. I'm curious what he's going to measure in at. Gonna enjoy the Senior Bowl this year, with us having 4 picks in the top 100 wooooo!

Never said Keon Coleman was my favorite. I'm saying that for a fifth round pick, why not take that chance?

That was answered when I observed he's not a culture fit. Once you take a guy off the board, he's off the board, not an option.
