Revisionist history. No one was higher on Ryan than they currently are on Rosen.

No he is not. 3 of the Qbs in this class would be rated higher then anyone in last years class.

I dont believe that. Could be wrong but they would have the ability to manuever all around this draft for the guy they like. A highly rated player will be there at 12. i could see nelson sliding. I could see them trading ODB to move into the top 10. Alot of ifs but that is what i believe.

Sam Cowart, Pat Williams, Marcel Dareus, Takeo spikes, London Fletcher were all first or second team all pros where has that gotten Buffalo? Buffalo has never drafted a Qb inside of the top 10. I believe that is a strong correlation why Buffalo has had 1 franchise Qb in its history. There are 5 guys who are 90 plus rated Qb prospects. By most accounts this is the strongest Qb class in terms of Talent and production in some time. Buffalo has 6 picks in the first 3 rounds. At 12 they are in striking distance of getting their top rated Qb. Why would anyone be against doing so? The strength of this draft is in rds 2 and 3 an 4. By trading half or 2/3 of the picks they can get a franchise Qb for the first time since Kelly. Even if they dont turn out to be as good they are at that same level of potential. Plus add a starter in rd 2 and rd 3, while retain the remaining mid to late rd picks? It makes complete sense.

Could he bust? Sure as could Rosen, Darnold, Mayfield, or Jackson. Its pretty obvious to me why he is in consideration for 1. His strengths are higher than any other prospects. His weakness are there. Are those coach able areas where they could be limited. I do. Can Mayfield succeed in a dirty pocket and tight window throws? Can Rosen absorb NFL punishment with his injury history? Can Darnold improve his ball security? Can Jackson improve his lower body mechanics and pocket awareness. They all have some work to do. Who have the most room to grow? Who could become Great? Rare year.

Lead the league in catches 4th in Tds. He is 5th in money seems about right when Julio and Becham will reup soon.

Best slot reciever of all time averaged 10. Landry is doing that with spotty qbs. Landry is not top 5 right now but he is better than Watkins, and you cant name 10 wrs more productive than him.

That was playing with Matt Moore and Jay Cutler. Career he is over 10 YPC and very similar to Welker in his prime in that department.

I would really not like having Bill and Mcdaniels developing Jackson behind Brady for 2 years. Then Brady retires and they go all in on Jackson with the RPO offense.

Does it matter where he is lined up if he catches 100 passes a year no matter who his Qb is?

Very simple, the last time Wyoming was bowl eligible in back to back seasons prior to the 2 seasons Josh Allen quarterbacked was 88 89 season. They are a bottom feeder program in the Mountain West Conference and ranked in 120's in NCAA rank prior to the 2016 season. His Sophomore season the majority of the offense were Seniors and he put up good numbers. Wyoming does not recruit well so they rely on players getting on the field and improving before they would at other schools. This past year he played with mainly Sophomores and it has showed. However, the offense he played in did not help him as a passer in regards to his passing efficiency. He played in an offense out of the mid 90s to early 2000's big ten. Not much creativity and alot of the big plays were on Allen to make with his arm and ability. He has the most impressive tape by having the most NFL caliber throws. There is no doubt if he can translate to an NFL offense because he has made the prerequisite passes already. Imo a lot of his accuracy issues is when he tries too much. With his arm strength he would attempt throws from horrible platforms. He could be Kyle Boller but the game has changed so much since then. If he continues to utilize a personal Qb coach and improves his mechanics to a point where its automatic sky is the limit. High end his ceiling is Brett Farve. I see him very similar in terms of football IQ and natural ability. He will throw interceptions because of his arm will get him into trouble at times. Low end jeff george. If he does not master the mechanics of throwing his accuracy concern will pop up through his career. Imo if he doesn't develop a substance abuse problem he will have a long career do to his immense ability and athleticism, but a what if story. With the level of Qbs in the NFL at worst he will be on a roster for as long as he wants to play similar to Jeff George.

I think Landry is very underrated. Extremely productive and has fantastic hands. Good for Cleveland.

22 is still better than 53,56. You have a higher probability of selecting the player you like at 22 than at 33. With the amount of Qbs that are getting drafted in rd 1 there will be talented guys at 22. Or Buffalo keeps the crappy 22 pick and trades both 2s and 3s picks up an extra 4th.

Why? I think NYG would rather have 12,22,53,65 than splitting it. Imo 2019 2nd is on thr table. They want 2019 1st. Beane is staying strong. Come eve of or day of that 2nd becomes 1 and is done.

I disagree. Leaks this time of year is to increase the take imo. If they wanted Darnold why let Cleveland know? They may think he falls to 4... Imo Gettleman knows Beane enough to know his guy. Imo its 12,22,53,65 and 2019 2nd. What the rumor is Beane already offered. Gettleman wants 2019 1st. I wont be surprised that happpens but expect the giants 3rd and a 2019 4th to off set it. January, everyone would be estatic if Buffalo gets the pick of Darnold or Rosen. I fimrly believe that is the case. Im torn. Rosens injury history concens me, so does Darnolds fumbles and ints. Fun times. Either guy is the best Qb prospect Buffalo has ever had.

The Bills have never picked a Qb in the top 10 in the franchises history. The 5th rated qb this year will be higher rated than the top Qb next year. They collected the extra, first, extra second, extra third to go get the one they want. That is what needs to happen. Rounds 2 and 3 get a pass catcher and linebaker, than fill out the roster with whats left. There are literly 5 Qbs rated higher than Ej was. Maybe 6 depends how you feel about Rudolph.

I think thats his position to be honest. Kinda poor mans Barr or Reddick. I think he would be a SAM. More an athlete than natural pass rusher. Highschool saftey so he has range.

I see him similar to Anthony Barr. i think you stand him up and he is a sam in a 4-3

How is Qb below Lb, guard, and a complimentary Wr? How? After last year I want no part of Peterman on the field. McCarron is a career back who has not showed that he is anything more than that. In my eyes Qb is by far the most glaring need. Yes, Lb and Wr are a need. They can be filled in rds 2 and 3. I think a linebaker many are high on will be available in Rd 2 and they can find a complimentary Wr in rd 3 or later same with the remaining depth concerns. Go where the the best players are a, 90 plus rated Qb prospect is the highest ranked players on the board especially for a team that doesn't have a starting Qb. Who is to say Roquan Smith isnt Aaron Curry? He was cant miss top 5, the saftest player in the draft. Look at the Browns. The past 20 years since they drafted Tim Couch they picked the safer player first than the Qb at 22.. That has never worked out in their favor.

They have holes. IMO the largest holes are still QB, Linebaker, Wr , than Depth on the oline, linbaker, and secondary. Top priority has to be QB. Last year Mcdermott showed he is an adequate game day coach that can win games he shouldn't and have his team ready and prepared. Even with Mccarron playing 16 games I think Buffalo still wins 7 or more games. If that happens Buffalo is sitting right where they are now but without 22,56, and 65th picks. Next year there will not be 5 Qbs rated 90 or higher in terms of quality prospects. Buffalo must use their created pick surplus to move them into position to obtain one of those prospects. The higher rated the better, Bufflao has never drafted a high quality prospect at Qb in over 35 years. They never drafted a qb inside of the top 10 picks in the franchises history. I would offer 12,22,56,65 and 2019 1st for 2. Get Rosen who imo is the most pro ready. Use the second and third to find 2 positional starters, and the remaining picks fill the depth. Maybe they can get Rosen at 4 or later but that would be taking on a large risk, he could end up in the division at the Jets. Of the Qbs whoever they value highly this need to be the mindset. Next year Buffalo has tremendous cap space and can really add players to the roster to move them into a perennial contender if they have a Qb that looks like a Franchise guy. if that happens they will attract better players on the outside. Build your foundation through the draft, that foundation is a franchise Qb.

Agree, but i don't think Hasslam is risk averse. Imo Wentz sits in his mind today. He does not want to make that mistake twice. Both Darnold and Allen should sit a year. Its not a surprise that Allen could go one. If Darnold was as polished as Rosen sure, but Darnold is not as clean a prospect as the media perceives him to be. With the age of the QB pool Imo you are going to see QBs drafted on potenial in a more of a NBA way than the NFL has normally operated. They are not drafting 20-21 year old Qbs on what they were in January but what they think they will be in next year and the year following.

Never going to happen. GB will Franchise him at minimum 2 years. The franchise tag will be a discount compared to Rodgers actual value.

He took Mahomes over Watson and Newton over Gabbert (which was actually thing back in that draft). It is def a possibility. Allen has made more NFL throws than Darnold this past year. Darnold led the NCAA in turnovers. Allen's Oregon and Iowa games are on par with Darnold's performance vs Ohio St. They are much closer than some talking heads would have you believe. I 100% believe Allen is in consideration and wont be surprised that he goes 1. If both guys reach their potential who end up being better? Do I think Darnold has a higher probability of being successful? I do but I also see Allen as a bit of a unicorn who with proper coaching could be special. Ive said this for a while now. Do not forget how arrogant coaches are. They all believe they are the best and will be able to get all that potential out of him. Yes, to stash a guy and let them learn, possibly developing to a future replacement or trade-able asset. However, that is not the first place you go to find a starter. That is what you do after you have one. right now Buffalo does not have one. Even Russell Wilson wasn't suppose to start. Seatlle gave Flynn a massive deal and expected him to be the starter.

If the QB position improves from last year to this year yes.

Who does Cleveland have to smoke out? They pick one. The reason the first picks usually gets leaked because they have no one to deceive. Once they figure out who they want at 1 they move onto to 4 where that is a position they would leak mis-information.
