Love the pick. Since the moment it was made have been strong with "love the pick." Like Beane and McDermott, I am on record to take the heat if he fails. He could, but I sure would not bet on it. Impressed by Cousins too.

Yeah, this is nothing. It was years ago and AJ undoubtedly knows his wife is a smoke show.

That actually was the look Rosen had on his face during the draft

I can't believe some were/are disappointed about Allen. Character guy, every athletic trait you want and as he said - if you watch his play he does not seem like an in accurate quarterback. Then in second half of senior bowl - seemed like the best guy on the field. Admittedly I am no scout, but I thought him or Darnold were the clear 1/2. Obviously Browns disagreed, but Baker is not big and he is not fast. So you are all in on accuracy and competitiveness. Never understood the Rosen love. He has maximized his talent. He has a solid NFL arm, but not a plus arm. He is immobile. He is fragile. And he is potentially divisive. Yuk! Flame away, but I think we will be very, very happy with Mr. Allen.

Scantling also sounds like a huge Process guy. Read this: http://www.tampabay.com/sports/usf-bulls/2018/04/10/draft-prospect-marquez-valdes-scantling-puts-hands-heart-on-display/

I have been somewhat obsessed with Valdes-Scantling given his 6'4" and 4.37 measurables. Watched the limited YouTube highlights which looked pretty darn good. Anyone have a view as to whether he could be any good? Would give us the speed if nothing else. I would not mind a flyer on him.

Checked it - 42 reps on the bench? 42????!!! Strong AF

Anderson reference painful enough, reminding fans we bungled away Pat Williams is cruel and unusual.

Tim Anderson references should be banned. His motor was so high it redlined and seized.

Should have got Josh Rosen here for the DL rotation. More upfield pressure than Phillips, Rosen most NFL ready DL in the draft. Oops, wrong thread. WOOO-HOOO

Nice Allen avatar bro

Blue collar, lunch bucket, Kyle Williams, organized labor Stanford guy!

Bills KILLING it!!!!!!

Phillips? Hurst?

This is a lot to digest. Thanks for providing. I need to pick through it more carefully - but for now I have to go pray good guys fall to us! I am pleased a Rosen guy can find good in Allen, and respect the ability to be objective enough to do so!

I think this is misleading. Giants didn't "pass on him" any more than they passed on Darnold - they wanted Barkely. Same with Broncos - wanting Chubb is not passing Allen. Browns at 1 and Jets at 3 passed on Allen. However, Bills at 7, in addition to Browns and Jets, passed on Rosen who went 10. If the guy we didn't want went 10, it is reasonable for us to have believed the player our scouts liked better wouldn't last until 12. I think Allen should have went 1 or 2.

Eddie must be the "at least one teammate" that Beane said he checked in with about Josh's stupid tweets. Good to see this. Please delete Mr. Allen's Twitter account.

Thanks Kirby, enjoy seeing your posts too! Man, love seeing that. Have not seen him play other than highlights, but know the measurables!

For those who have not watched it, go back and watch the Maycock interview. I don't know how anyone cannot be 100% behind the kid. Seems genuine, fully committed.

Nah, Cardinals got the D. We got the A+ - I like him and Darnold about the same. I think Allen will be better. Rosen will be out of the league before his second contract, IMHO

Could move the pieces around and add depth. Not sure Lorax gives us enough at SAM - thought he was going to do more EDGE as DE this year? Off the planning board?

Would love that.

Totally agree. Aiming the ball? Weird delivery. Check out Allen on Youtube - short thing called Soul and Science or something. Dude throws the ball 74 miles an hour. A football! I was a decent high school pitcher, but I could not throw a freakin baseball that hard. A big difference in the two for me: They traded down and took EJ. They were settling because QB desperate. Here, they traded UP to get the guy they wanted over Josh Rosen. Whether he was "their man" or not (will never know if they had Baker or Arnold higher) - they made the move to get him. They wanted him; and they just didn't want Rosen. Respect.

Sunshine over cancer

Supposedly quite effective last year and still out there I believe (correct me if I am wrong). Allegedly has tremendous work ethic and is a leader. Was one helluva player. Still just 29, and comparatively low mileage due to tragic achilles. Love to see him in the middle between Edmunds and Milano. Get 'er done Beane!
