2) You finally made the playoffs

YOU HAD A 17-YEAR PLAYOFF DROUGHT YOU ENDED LAST YEAR. While that is a great accomplishment and should be recognized as such, don’t throw it all away for another year of watching the postseason from your couches.

The Bills owe it to their fans to try and go back to the playoffs. Not drafting a potentially franchise-changing quarterback would be a disservice to them. Bills Mafia is ready to go back to the playoffs, don’t deprive them of their best chance.

The Bills have no reason to not use their two first-round picks to trade up for a quarterback. They cannot blow this decision for the sake of the sanity of their fanbase.

Speaking of have multiple first-round choices, Buffalo has a legion of options. General manager Brandon Beane could stand pat and hope that one of the top quarterbacks gets to him at No. 12 overall. He could also wait until the 22nd-overall pick and perhaps land Lamar Jackson. Then again, Beane could also package those selections and get up to the top five, getting a talent such as Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold or Baker Mayfield.

Buffalo also has multiple choices in the second and third rounds, so Beane has nothing short of a board of picks to work with.
