If I was Trevor Lawrence, I would be doing whatever I could to get busted for something, anything to slide into round 3 - drugs, prostitutes, armed robbery...
There just hasn't been much highlight-reel material from Josh Allen the past few weeks. I think the sports media would like to hype the Bills more - it's a good enough story, but there have been more exciting things going on lately. You don't get attention when you win ugly.
I bet he would do it for $4-5 million. He could possibly make more elsewhere, but he is filthy rich already, loves Buffalo, and probably won't be playing much.
I think it's fair to say he was a riskier pick than the others at the time, because he needed more development and the time commitment that goes with that; and even after all the investment, there is no guarantee it's going to pay off. There is a lot of pressure now to get instant results out of your high draft picks.
Pleasant Surprises:
- Allen to Diggs looking like they have played together for years.
- Tyler Kroft and all the other tight ends not named Dawson Knox making big plays in the Red Zone.
- O-Line play has been mostly stellar when not facing Aaron Donald.
Disappointments:
- Tremaine Edmunds. Will the light bulb ever go on for this guy? He is never in the right place at the right time.
- Defense in general has been spotty.
- Rookies excepting Gabe Davis, though it is early and there was no preseason.
You couldn't even argue that they didn't have enough video evidence to overturn the call of INT on the field. It was just a garbage call that should have been overturned, and it makes me feel totally fine with the crap PI call that basically sealed the game for the Bills.
