I have not been high on Allen, but he was solid in front of the entire NFL and fan base at the combine. I am not sure how smart he is, but he has a chance to do quite well. I still rank the QBs Darnold, Rosen, Allen, then little Mayfield. I think the NFL is producing QBs at a faster rate with the pass friendly league. If Allen has the right coaching staff he can be successful. If he had Mayfield's will to win I would take him #1. If Mayfield could shop in the adult section I would choose him #1.

This is exactly why I posted this. If we kept Glen past June 1st he would have fetched a 1st rounder to replace our pick. I am betting we have a top 12 next year along with everyone else. I would still do it because of the cash we have for FA next year. Is a #1 next year equal to a #2 this year?

I hate that! but it could happen. If Barkley joined them, Brady would play for 3 more years.

I can't argue with that. Deja vu! LOL! I hate them.

Would you trade up to pick #3 and give up the following to keep pick #22? Picks #12, #53, #56 and #65 = #3 overall We would still have #3, #22, #96, #121, #166 and #187, so basically no 2nd rounders. I am not sure Indy would do it, because I think they want that #22 (we still could trade down because that is a hot spot for trading back). We could grab a killer LB and still maybe land another starter in rounds 3-4.

I forgot. that was probably a very good move. That dude is a house.

Yes they do and yes they will thrive, but they have to sign him. Houston, Jags, Jets, and Min on their schedule... All is quiet because they are holding their breath. I hope they lose him. The Browns are loaded.

If they lose Solder to Browns they would be screwed. The Browns could offer a ton if Thomas retires. This draft sucks at LT. They need to save 4.5 million to sign draft picks too. http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2018/03/browns_still_pursuing_terrelle.html Biggest offseason needs: Left tackle Defensive end Linebacker Cornerback Running back

That sounds possible? Maybe we can trade him next year for another 4th rounder lol.

Would he would sign with us over the Patriots. Hard to say... He should start for us and get another 6 games before he holds a clip board. However, if Brady goes down, then he is on his way to the playoffs. Throw in another $500K to his wife, so she can sell Bills calendars! I am interested in the Star 2018 salary to see what we have left to sign AJ and the next camp fodder.

I agree. They have a weak offensive line and defense is getting older. They may even trade down a few slots to grab that killer guard. They need youth. Keenum is not flashy but can take you to the playoffs with a running game. Guessing 22 million?

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000920793/article/case-keenum-expected-to-sign-with-denver-broncos The price may be going down to trade up further? I wonder if we will move up to pick 5 now?

I am not excited about this Star, but when we landed Ted Washington he was the key to the 1999 playoffs. I hope they prove me wrong!

I love Hughes and I live in the Bay area. I thought Mack was the best player in the draft and I would trade 2 first round picks for him today.

That was something I have been fearful of. We seem to have the defensive system down, but the offense is unknown and questionable. very good to know! Super informative! thank you. It seems QB friendly and I can't wait to cheat and use a ton of pick plays like the Pat's.

When picking a QB guys like Polian look at the following: Leadership Health Love of the game Student of the game Can make all the throws in the route tree Floor versus ceiling Chemistry with Coach I have my opinions from what the rumors are and everything I have read about his system, but... What I can't seem to find is in regard to Brian Daboll's offensive philosophy is which draft pick would be the best fit? I think it is Darnold or Rosen. If it is Allen, then we will spend on a free agent this week. If it is Mayfield, then we trade to slot #4. The system looks like a run first philosophy with 5-15 yard throws using and an occasional bomb. Rosen is proven, Allen killed it at the combine and Darnold is pretty good. If Mayfield was 3 inches taller I would take him #1. Top 3 Darnold seems quiet for a leader and threw a lot of picks, but is an escape artist. Probably a lock to be in the league for a decade. Rosen may be breakable and for such a smooth accurate passer it wobbles like a Manning. Best floor, but needs protection. Josh Allen will take sometime to grow into a passer and may have accuracy issues, but has a huge ceiling along with the risk. This guy is huge and athletic. Next Best Mayfield is the best leader and reeks of attitude for a smurf. His accuracy and arm is better than I thought. The dude just wins.

I hope the Bills are good with 2 of the QBs. All of the 4 QBs have too many questions. I want to move to slot 2-3. I hope Beane already knows who the Browns and/or the Giants are taking.

As I predicted. The Bills would move Cordy Glen and the compensation would equal a late #1 to a #2 at best. The Bengal's valued him as a mid 2nd rounder and I am stoked! I also, said they would trade up and I expected it to be the 49ers, since they need a 2nd rounder. They need to still move up and I hope it is pick #2 or #3 overall, but now we have some cap to fill a few holes. Help me guess who they will court at 1 Bills Drive this week! Note: I am afraid that we may trade next years #1 to conserve picks this year. We will have $$$$ next year, so I could live with it. Free QB agency: Sam Bradford? - Excellent character, he can play at a high level and looks great with a clipboard - Understands the system - Cheapest guy that doesn't suck Defensive Line: Kyle Williams? - Tough call, because the guys I like are pricey and I question their leadership - We need an edge rusher and DT in the draft Line Backers: Preston Brown or Nigel Bradham or Jon Bostic? - We will need to draft either a speedy cover guy or a thumper - Sideline to sideline speed and at 6'4" Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech is awesome, but we will most likely settle for someone else Nickel Back: ? - 3-4 rounder? C/RG: ? - Draft - Groy is OK, but why didn't he play guard at all in 2017? - Norwell is a pipedream RT: ??? - I am so tired of the losers at this postition - Draft Deep threat at WR: Paul Richardson? - Draft (probably Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU or DJ Moore, WR, Maryland) - Note: I love Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M, but he isn't super fast TE: Nick O'Leary? - Draft; I love this guy... Mike Gesicki, TE, Penn State Not sure about this rumor... http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2018/03/espn_names_buffalo_bills_as_team_that_might_target_ndamukong_suh_after_release.html

Darnold, Rosen, Barkley and Chubb are probably all top 4 picks, so we will have a shot at 1 of 3 QBs. Allen and Mayfield are going to drop a bit further. The Bills will need to trade into the top 10, then trade again into the top 4. The nfl trade value chart http://walterfootball.com/draftchart.php is not an exact science when competition arises. It is obvious to me that Denver, Jets, Miami and Arizona are all in the mix and SF needs a #2. If we trade #21 and a #2 plus a pick next year, then we can land pick number #9 (keeping #9, #22, #56, #65 and #96). Getting from #9 to 3 or 4 would only be 450 to 850 points, so I would assume that we would target Cleveland at #4. Thoughts? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000919673/article/2018-nfl-draft-order-for-all-seven-rounds I want to have at least 7 picks this year. QB (Rosen or ?), LB (fast), DT (Pass rusher), RG (Bruiser), RB (Bruiser), DB (nickel) Another possibility is dumping next years #1 which I hate, but next year we will have 90 million in cap space to fill in the holes and I believe that Cordy Glen will fetch a #2 in 2019.

I agree. That was the deal I based this on and it reminded me of when we traded Jason Peters for a late #1.

Glen is a very good LT. Probably a top 5-10 pass blocker and good run blocker. Sliding over Dion Dawkins to RT could work, but I think are better dumping the salary. I agree if we kept both and drafted a RG, then our line would be excellent for a rookie. Excellent points. A later Glen trade would = a 2019 pick that could be performance based.

We have to sign one big name to solidify a position. Andrew Norwell? I heard he is going to the Giants already Sheldon Richardson? Revenge against the Jets... Dontari Poe? Space Eater Zack Brown? Very fast, but misses some tackles Preston Brown? Solid but not amazing Nigel Bradham? Cheap Avery Williamson? Fast

Glen will not play at RT and has been sat just like Sammy Watkins when his foot was funky. I bet he is healthy and wants out. We need to save money at add picks. Our Defense of line, offensive lines and line backing cores are thin. Cleveland may see Thomas retire. Giants and Indy offensive lines suck. This is a huge Buffalo cleansing. Out with the old and in with the new.

Glenn could be worth a late #1 or a #2? Free agency and the draft have no good LT's Lawson = a late pick

The Bills are definitely moving up. I think they already have a potential deal to trade with the Giants at #2 or Colts at #3. Any thoughts?
