To me it seems like a mistake to take him at 1, there are other less risky guys. Yes, he might end up being a 9-10 talent, but he is also quite risky because so much is projection. Especially when it seems like the other guys might be 8s and 9s quickly. Of course it all has risk, but the Browns.....ehhhhh.

There were Rumors yesterday that the Giants are very impressed with Chubb at his visit. However, I have to wonder if that is smokescreen knowing the Broncos want Chubb at 5. They would like to trade down to 5 and still get Barkley. So this is the possible scenario: Browns....Darnold Giants.....Barkley Jets........Mayfield Bills........Rosen Broncos..Nelson......Chubb imo That would be pretty cool!

Think plan A ..for the bills

I think it is the right thing if you can move down a few spots and add some picks. Especially given the needs. -

Plan A is go up and get Josh Rosen Plan B is go and get Sam Darnold Plan C is go and get Baker Mayfield Plan D ,with the remaining picks , trade back acquire some more picks Plan E fill the hole at LB, OL, WR and other positions of which we will have plenty of picks after plans A,B,C Plan F watch the waiver wire and remember that you can't build a team in one year -
Let's just say building a team is like trying to build a great Hamburger. The QB is the meat, any great Hamburger starts and ends with the meat. You can add Bacon, Chedder, carmelized onions, tomatoes, relish and it enhances the burger. Hell, a great bun is important too, more like the defensive ends and cover guys in importance though. A good bun with all the enhancers is more like a BLT not a great Hamburger. Please go get the best meat!

I think some on this forum have gone crazy with this process stuff. They act like McBeane doesn't think talent matters. If player A is a 9 talent and a 3 character and player B is an 8 talent and 9 character, they are likely taking the player B. If Player A is a 3 talent and a 10 character and player B is a 10 talent and a 5 charatcer, they are taking player B. Lol! kind of puts an end to the chatter about him going to work in finance within 4 years.

Aside from good or bad fortune, which people still tend to ignore, and is of course uncontrollable. You should keep hedging the situation by planning to draft another QB high in the next year or two, not necessarily in the top 10. Perhaps in the top 2-3 rounds. And, stay after it with your strategy, the Bills have been awful at this. They seem to have always wanted to build the team first, and then get a QB. My biggest question about all of these guys like Allen, which is unknown, is how they handle adversity. Right now he is filled with confidence, everyone telling him how great he is. What happens when he finds out it doesn't work out as advertised, he isn't improving his accuracy and the footwork didn't help? Or he has a trait like "slow" eyes at the NFL level? Just sayin'.....lots of uncertainty. All you can do is follow a procedure of looking for traits that correlate, and ignore the ones that seem to be overrated. Let someone else take the risk who hasn't figure it out, and yes they're still some out there.

Draft pick hoarders and risk aversion mantra: It is very safe to : Stay at home Never drive Never fly Never eat anything "bad" for you Never fight for anything It is unsafe to: Trade up for a franchise QB
