  1. I'm a late 70's baby, so I can't consider OJ and Cribbs since they were before my time.  I saw every snap that Thurman played and he was our most productive running back ever, so I'll go with him.  Never hit the big flashy breakaway runs, but he was the best in the NFL at setting up his blockers and always finding himself 3-4 yards even when nothing was there.  Great pass catcher too.  Shady is a close second, but he has too many zero and negative yardage carries.

  2. I went back and watched all of the game film from this year and I agree with you guys.  Allen is their entire team.  They run a pro style offense and he doesn't benefit from dinks and dunks.  He even looked good in their blowout loss to Iowa.  I'm not sure he starts over McCarron right out of the gate, but I think he's more than capable of taking the job at some point during the season.  It really depends on how well AJ plays.

  3. Based on the roster, I think this is a three year rebuild.  Our defense should be in decent shape after this draft, but we will need to upgrade the O-line, RB, TE and WR positions over the next two drafts.  Barring injury, I expect one of McCarron or Peterman (I haven't given up on him yet) to start the next two years minimum (maybe three) and then Allen is ready to step in with an updated roster in 2020.   I just don't see us accomplishing much with our offensive line next year and Shady is clearly on the back nine at this point.  I see a 4-5 win team and I'm okay with that.  I think the next couple of years could be tough, but I plan to remain patient while they get this thing steered in the right direction.

  4. A+

     

    I was initially way down on the Allen pick, but the more I think about it, the more I believe he is the right fit for the organization.  Big, strong, blue collar, underdog type.  Could be our Big Ben for the next 15 years. So long as he develops into a quality starter by 2020, this will be considered a win. 

     

    I love the Edmunds pick.  Like Allen, the sky is the limit with him.  

     

    Hopefully, two cornerstone pieces. 

     

  5. At this point, I'd be very disappointed with either Rudolph or Jackson in the first round.  I'd probably prefer Jackson over Rudolph in the second-third rounds, since he has the higher ceiling.  Rudolph, with his lack of arm strength, seems to be the definition of a caretaker quarterback. 

     

    I have a bad feeling that the day the Jets traded into the #3 spot will go down in infamy for Bills fans.
