At this point I'll be disappointed if we don't end up with Mayfield. It makes too much sense to not happen.

This is apparently what McBeane looks for in depth players. Great athletes with outstanding measurables who haven't been able to put it all together.

I don't usually care about the wonderlic even a little bit but 13 is really really low. I'm curious what his AIQ score was since supposedly that correlates better to performance.

Is any QB in the NFL not scheme dependent? I never understand that criticism.

Come on man, you've threatened to leave the board so many times and no one is stopping you.

I think the Broncos would want more than that. It would be us giving up 12, 22 and a 2nd at least to get the #5.
I used the standard draft value chart and according to that we actually overpay by giving them 12 and 22. But I don't know what chart they're using these days, so you could be right. I would hope at the least we could just give them 12 and 22 and be done with it, but if we're trading up for Mayfield I wouldn't think twice about giving more.

If we assumed that this report is correct, I would imagine that Denver trades up from their 2nd round pick to take him rather than trading down from 5 to take him. They could theoretically take Nelson or Barkley at 5 and then get Rudolph at the back end of the 1st round.
Broncos get 12 and 22, we get 5 and a 2019 2nd. Makes sense for both sides.

That makes me think they really are going to draft Josh Allen. If they're already sure they want the rookie to sit the whole year it has to be him.

Is that a reasonable possibility? Because I’d be all over it! Kind of Cordy Part Deux. Wouldn’t waste a lot of picks going WAY up. Have to keep the poker face on and hold your water....
There was some rumor a few weeks ago that we were trying to trade Hughes as part of a trade up. Or maybe the rumor was just about Hughes and the trade up was speculation. Not much difference this time of year I suppose. I would love it if it was true. Whatever we're planning I don't think we'll know anything until draft night.
-
I could see us trading Hughes to move up to 7, and picking Mayfield. A new era of Bills football would begin. This is my dream scenario.

Is there actual evidence that kickoffs result in more injuries than any other play?
A couple posts above yours there's a tweet from Kevin Seifert that says concussions happen at 5 times the normal rate on kickoff returns. It isn't worth it for a play that very rarely means anything.

Meh this wouldn't bother me at all. What would you guys rather lose, kickoffs and leading with the crown of the helmet, or a large number of key players from active rosters due to injuries? If I were a coach I would already have my players take a knee on every touchback.

But I think once he gets settled in and the Offense is built around his strengths...Like Brees and Wilson, he'll be fine...
We have the right OC to make this happen. Daboll will build an offense that works around his height. It's crazy that people would dismiss an amazing QB prospect over something so small (pun intended). It has to be the most predictable outcome in NFL history that Mayfield will have a better career than Allen, but Allen will almost certainly be drafted first solely because of his physical traits.

This would be a nightmare. Two head cases in Rosen and Beckham with no depth on our OL, DL, or LB corps. I would hate this. Thankfully it won't happen.
Oh and both are major injury risks. I've been trying to think of a worse scenario than trading up for Josh Allen, and Eric Galko just found it.

fairly miserable place to live during a regular year..... let alone one with 193 inches of snow. haha.
I make it a point to get off at Peach St any time I'm heading west. Worth it for the Krispy Kreme alone.

If they were going to draft him they would have kept Tyrod for him to learn behind. IMO there is no way we draft him.
Mayfield and Rosen are the two QBs that will probably start right away. They don't need a bridge QB. Which is why I've thought since we traded Tyrod that they're our targets. McDermott loves players that have a lot of college starting experience and can get on the field right away.

His Analytics are generational. It surprised me. I still believe Rosen will be the elite prize for Buffalo, but based off of analytics (which the Bills subscribe heavily to), there’s no QB in this draft that’s on his level. The analytics have vastly improved from the wonderlic tests. They’re pretty insightful.

This part is pretty interesting:
Why are you hearing about the AIQ now? One of the two teams that subscribes fully to the testing service already has its franchise quarterback.
The other team is not a perennial winner, picks in the top half of the first round this year and is one of the handful of teams most interested in drafting Baker MayfieldI know I shouldn't jump to conclusions but the Bills have invested a lot into analytics and the bolded part could easily be talking about them...

Few are more plugged in to Buffalo, than J-White. He’s usually very closely tied. He has some great, great sources. I believe there’s smoke here. I don’t think Baker is their top guy, but I do believe he’s an incredible #2 or fallback option.
Baker has been my #1 all along. His attitude problems aren't like Rosen's. His problem is he cares too much about winning and his emotions get the best of him. I'll take that any day over someone that might not even like playing. I think he fits our team and city better than anyone. I bet he would get along very well with McDermott. And we can get him without paying a huge ransom. What am I missing? His height? That's the only real knock I see on him.

FWIW he says this isn't a smokescreen because his source isn't directly associated with the Bills.

I was waiting for the "insider source" connecting us to Mayfield. We have now officially been connected with every one of the top 4 QBs. I still have a hunch that we secretly love Mayfield but this report from Jeremy White doesn't make that more likely.

Just curious, what were your evaluations like for similar QBs - Manuel, Lynch, Hackenburg, etc. Has Allen separated himself from these prospects for any particular reason or do you just tend to like that style of QB?
