You'd be correct, but even for the players that have made it Stafford's is low. In relation Allen's is even lower than that. People want to blame it on the lack of talent around him, but when I watch his games it doesnt stand out to me that thats the case. I see passes thrown into the ground, missing high, completely missing routes altogether with balls being thrown into the middle of the field. He may be great, I am not paid to evaluate football players, but he scares the hell out of me.

Find one quarterback drafted in the last fifteen years with a less than 57% completion percentage in college that was a hit. I cant seem to find one. I think he is a gigantic risk. As far as being a similar athlete to Cam Newton, pretty sure Cam is about 30 pounds heavier and runs a 4.5 compared to Allen's 4.7

It makes sense to be anxious. Going over the 1st round quarterbacks in the last ten years I think its around a 36% success rate. At best that means 2 of the top 5 guys will be good players.

Is he talented yes. But not a lot of super stars play on three different teams in three years. KC just paid near Antonio Brown money for someone who may be good someday.

I feel like there have been more trades/cuts, but the information on free agents feels slower than usual.

Did Albright get this info while on the Matt Moore visit he reported happened yesterday?

Cut or trade the close to thirty year old defensive end who has averaged 5 sacks a year over the last three seasons while earning the third highest paycheck on the team. Yeah I think Id be ok with that, and honestly Ive expected it.

Lets hope so. The only top ten quarterback Beane has ever been a part of drafting was a Jr. who had only started 14 games. He won them all, so maybe thats the better case for Mayfield, I dont know. I am not sure Rosen is a good fit for the RPO, but you really cant tell anymore.

Our two firsts and the third we got from Cleveland gets us to number 3.

Whats down right amazing is they can get to 3 without having to give up either 2nd, and while keeping the second third.

Indeed he is. Was a zone guy in college as well.

Good deal. Always thought Colvin was a underrated player. Guess we will see where it goes.

Looks like this person made a list of the top defensive backs and then added teams they felt needed one or more and then cited sources. Is this a legit account?

Hasn't had more than seven sacks in a season since 2013. If we are going the old/injured route I'd much prefer they make an offer to Julius Peppers. I think you can get as much production out of Lorenzo Alexander at Defensive End in 2018 as you could Hali, and Zo is already on the roster.

I think the real argument is if Losman ever talked a good game? Dude quoted Yoda at one point.

Didnt the Bills try to sign Jeremy Lane last year? Or was that a different Seattle CB?

No. In my opinion you've got to stop looking at players for only their play on the field. We have used this model in the past. What we have now is a coach trying to build a team, and you don't do that just because a high talent player is available. You need to look at these guys from every aspect of the job, not just production on the field. Their production is only a fraction of what they are being paid for. You need to look at lockeroom, filmroom, off the field, contract, and on the field production. There a reason the trade market for these players isn't yielding high picks right now, and there is also a reason they are available in the first place. They may be good players but moves like this need to be weighed on a risk/reward scale using all of the above elements.

I have to be honest. I've never liked this argument, because its a prediction, you honestly cant know. What I mean by this is those players have only played in one offense in college. Rosen and Darnold may have taken more snaps under center, however NFL offenses have moved away from that strictly pro style offense anyways. We will see what happens, and I respect your opinion, but to me Mayfield is the best quarterback in the draft. From a purely statistical and size stand point I can see the Keenum comparison, but Mayfield had a much higher win percentage. And not for nothing I would have taken Keenum this year.

As we get closer and closer to the draft I have no doubt there will be more talk about Baker in the top five. With both Parcells and Savage consulting the Browns on quarterbacks I think he will be the target for them at #4, and if the Bills want him they better move up to #2 or #3. The kid is the alpha of this years class. Rosen may be the most polished passer, but give my Mayfield everyday of the week.

I think the Giants just got a 4th round compensatory pick. Talk about giving up very little for a good player.

I dont know how to feel about Foles. He has done ok taking care of the ball over the last two years, but I feel like if you give up a 1st or 2nd for a player they should probably be your guy for the next two or three years and I am not sure he can be that. I'd prefer to draft someone but I know a lot of the people I talk to about the Bills really like the Foles idea.

Yes, my mind would be blown. I have spent the entire last year of my life thinking they got that extra first to try and move up for someone in this years draft. Given the manner in which these guys work I have every expectation that they are always way ahead in their thought process.

They arent spending tons of time with guys like Rosen, Mayfield, and Darnold if their intent is to stay at 21. My mind would be blown if they dont trade up. Guys like Beane and McDermott, who are intentional about everything they do, have to know they will be out the door in three years if they don't fix the QB situation as soon as possible. Waiting until next year would be a horrible choice.

.75 ints a game isnt good, I dont care how you slice it. Youd also be correct on the Rosen thing, he threw too many for a high first round pick too. Rosen also had way too many balls batted at the line for a 6'4 qb

Will never understand what it is about Lamar Jackson that gets people here so hot and bothered. Not a winner, not accurate, and has turnover issues. His highlight reel looks great but his tape is terrible. Dont get it and feel like he shouldnt be touched before the 2nd round. Think he would be a massive mistake.
