  1. So.....he didn't go ahead of Rosen!
  2. Daesean Hamilton is who I'd like.
  3. We need to help him now from the Owner, GM, Coach on down. I think he has a chance if the Bills do the right things with him-not easy!
  4. I was thinking about this draft and that the whole division could end up with a potential franchise guy. I kind of expected the Dolphins to take a guy to replace Tannehill. I wouldn't want to be the team that didn't take a shot!
  5. He is a smart dude with 37 on the wonderlic, and he's a farm kid who understands hard work. He has a chance!
  6. Hire the guy! He has a good repoire with Allen, and by all accounts has had success helping him with his foot work.
  7. Great Post! Now I want the Bills braintrust to continue to do things to help the offense especially!
  8. This is how I see it too. O-Line is huge IMO as we need to give whoever we have at QB a fair chance (something the Bills don't always do to QBs) Maybe quibble about TE ahead of the last 2. We just flat out need more playmakers and speed in general on offense wherever they play. DT 3 tech could be Nathan Shepherd
  9. I would really like to see our QBs get a fair shake, so to speak, as far as helping them. The O-line and speed at WR, not to mention we could use another RB I think, all have to be priorities.It will be very tough given the picks we have left. Trades? We shall see. They definitely took a long range view, and people need to remember that this(rebuild) isn't all going to happen this season. The plan is going to see some bumps in the road and I hope people have some patience. A lot of people seem to enjoy being right more than being patient these days! Yeah being right seem to be the most important thing these days. Patience is not in abundance. The fact the drought was ended is huge for the long term standing of McBeane. These guys have a much longer lease now.
  10. I'm very curious to see what we do to help our QBs going forward. We simply need to make some bold moves to add some guys that can help. It will take all the creativity in the world these guys can dream up to accomplish it. I fear we will be pretty bad on offense next year.
  11. I was texting throughout the first round with my son last night. Both of us, on pins and needles, leading up to the pick. Number 4 ? Nope Number 5? Nope Number 6? Nope....wtf is going on? Ah, yes! on the clock here comes our preference-Josh Rosen. Nope. Josh Allen. My son reacted with an "I'm done with this." As I would likely have done at 27 myself! So now I'm thrust into a role I don't relish. Put the right spin on this-now! I was one of the many Rosen supporters on this board. I probably even feared taking Josh Allen, although he'd have been my fourth QB pick. My makeup is more cautious than Beane, I take fewer risks. Josh Rosen and Rashaad Evans likely would help the Bills sooner and be more of the safe variety. Instead he chose to go big, really big and tried for the long ball. A lot of people, even our very own Bandit have stated at length why Josh Allen is a terrific prospect. As a long time Bills fan I will be rooting for the success of both these guys, and I offer no qualifier just so I can be right at some point. My response to my son, "we gotta get on board", "we still have 22", "these guys believe they have the next Cam Newton/ Big Ben clone". One thing I know for sure, we don't know how it will turn out, but we certainly drafted a couple of very nice balls of clay to mold. I encourage all Bills fans to : GET ON BOARD! Some random final thoughts: 1. It's likely going to be a rocky start. The comparisons to Josh Rosen are inevitable, and he likely gets off to not only a quicker but better start. 2.We have done little to nothing to help the offense this year so far, including after yesterdays Round 1 picks. So far is the key here, what is McBeane going to do to help an anemic receiving core, one that lacks speed in particular? What about an O-Line that clearly has needs? Playmakers after Shady and Benjamin are a big time need! 3.Should we hire Jordan Palmer to stay on and continue to work with Josh Allen? I say keep him working with Josh some way, because it appears to be making progress by accounts. 4. McBeane showed a different MO last night than many have thought they would. They went for raw potential, arguably 2 of the top upside guys available. These are big, strong, fast, athletic dudes. They both would appear to need not only experience, but technical work with quality coaching essential. 5. I'm not sure Nathan Peterman makes the team next season. Rumors last night that the Bills draft another QB late in the draft. Still remains to be seen if this proves true. Never the less, he is in for a dog fight at making the team, they will bring in UDFAs to compete. Go Bills!
  12. As one of the biggest Rosen supporters on here, I am going to be a good sport and move on very quickly. I hope he becomes the best QB in football and we all look back at this with glee. I'm not going to qualify my remarks in anyway, I'm behind him 100% now. Make it happen. Go Bills!
  13. Didn't stay secret long once Hue knew!
  14. We've got plenty of guys who will fill holes!
  15. Doesn't he have something to do? like bring Jennifer Garner into the closet or something. i mean that's what GMs do right?
  16. He's going to apologize early for the failure! Just kidding! no way he's gonna be a legend!
  17. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree at this point. Can't wait for the draft to start. Go Bills!
  18. Zeke Elliott says hello from the 4th spot
