That's awesome for UB but Trepasso is pretty terrible and I highly doubt any of those three guys are ranked that highly by any reputable source. Obviously things are looking up at UB though and that's awesome. Edit: If Tyree shows a lot of progress I could definitely see him rising up though; a guy with his physical tools will always get a look if they show any promise.

It comes from this Twitter thread (I'll post the highlights related to this): Edit: I think people are taking this to mean that Wyoming clearly didn't think Allen was as good as the NFL does when in reality, that take assumes that all college teams coach their teams in a perfectly efficient manner, but in actuality, few college coaches (or even NFL coaches for that matter, i.e. last year's Bills offense) adapt to their personnel the best way that they can. It's not about a lack of faith in Josh to put the team on his back; it's about the coaching staff's stubbornness not to take advantage of what they have because they're more comfortable in their own set ways. I'd have to read more from Sharp to determine if he even meant this Twitter thread to attack Allen; the way this particular thread reads it sounds more like he's arguing that the Wyoming coaches are stupid.

It would appear that if that deal was actually on the table, Dez badly miscalculated his market value. Having said that, I think he likely prefers a one-year deal over a 3 year/$21 mil deal because if he proves himself this year, he would be in line to make a lot more money than that moving forwards (at least in his head).

As another poster said, "uncertain" is a better descriptor than "worst" in this case. I'd certainly rather have the unknown in Allen than continuing to build my team around Ryan Tannehill, Andy Dalton, or Blake Bortles for example. And regarding the comparison to Cleveland, I personally prefer Allen over Mayfield, but obviously Cleveland prefers Baker and I imagine they probably prefer Tyrod over McCarron too. They were interested in acquiring McCarron a while ago, but if they felt this offseason that McCarron was better than Tyrod, it wouldn't have made any sense to trade a high 3rd round pick for the right to pay Tyrod $16 million or whatever it is when they could have simply paid McCarron $5 million without surrendering a pick.

You’re correct. Beane said that if they want to sign him, they’ll need to bring him in for a visit first and a writer interpreted that as him saying “we haven’t brought him in for a visit, which means we aren’t interested”

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. Maybe I’m too stuck on what Roethlisberger looks like now versus how he was a team Miami OH but I think the way Allen moves, the ability to make throws without his feet being clean, the way he scrambles around, the way he attacks vertically, is all much more similar to Cam than Ben IMO.

Perhaps around here, but Allen has been compared to Cam for two years now. It didn’t begin with any connection to McBeane.

To be clear, that link isn't ranking them as NFL prospects; just as college players. So far, I've put in significant film time on three QBs: Drew Lock - https://draftqbs.wordpress.com/2019-draft-prospects/drew-lock/ Justin Herbert - https://draftqbs.wordpress.com/2019-draft-prospects/justin-herbert/ Shea Patterson - https://draftqbs.wordpress.com/2019-draft-prospects/shea-patterson/ I view all 3 of them as 1st round prospects at the moment, though the latter two I'd categorize as fringe 1st rounders at the moment. I expect Lock to be a top 5-10 pick if he can sustain last year's level of play though.

I’m guessing someone has responded already but he’s in camp with the Bears after being on their practice squad most of the season last year. He looks good to me too.

I think he can potentially hang onto the #3 job with Teddy being cut/traded for fodder instead

Ole Miss with Patterson last year: 3-5 Ole Miss with Jordan Ta'amu: 3-1 (wins over Kentucky and Miss State) Ta'amu led the SEC in adjusted completion percentage. It's a really small sample size; he'll be a senior this year and those 4 starts were the first action he had ever gotten in college, but the results were pretty promising, and Brown is a pretty special talent.

Thanks for posting. I'm not sure why exactly he doesn't mock a QB to the Giants even if he thinks they'd take a QB there as he says; just seems like weird logic. It doesn't sound like he knows any of this year's players that well yet, so I don't really see the harm in elevating one of the QBs to that pick if he's basically just guessing this far out anyways. I'm super early in my process of scouting the QBs for next year, but at the moment, I think Drew Lock is a worthy choice there. I'm glad to see he's relatively low on Justin Herbert at the moment...I've seen a lot of people mention him as a potential #1 pick (which, given his physical tools, is possible if he improves a lot), but I viewed him as more of a late 1st, early 2nd caliber QB based on last year's play; I prefer Lock and Shea Patterson over him in the very least and I wouldn't be surprised if Stidham and Thorson end up with higher grades for the preseason period too.

The Bills love for Allen goes back way further than that. People around the league have been hearing that Buffalo wanted Allen since like October.

WR should definitely be on the radar, but I don't think this guy will be a 1st round pick. I think he'll be a Day 3 pick.

I second the Perez choice. I think i has him as my #9 or 10 QB in the class.

If you liked his QB rankings, you’d REALLY enjoy his WR stuff. I’m all for deviating from the norm a bit, but he’s wayyyy out there.

I'm not saying he isn't athletic enough to play; I think he definitely is. My issue is that he looks like just an average athlete while also having poor technique. The only reason he stands out IMO is because he's playing against/with a lower level of competition. I'll be curious to see how much he improves by this time next year.

I wouldn't really take Chris Trapasso's word for it; he also had DJ Moore as the 10th best WR in this year's class, behind 7th rounders Auden Tate and Marcell Ateman and UDFA Deontay Burnett. Yeah, I don't mean to poo poo a local talent, but he looks like a 4th-5th round pick to me. The way he catches the ball scares me and he doesn't seem to be athletic enough to take a flier on early in the draft. Maybe he'll come back this year looking a lot better though.

I think he's basically just saying they aren't a good team on paper. Honestly I think #20 is pretty high; seems that a lot of people, including Vegas, expect them to be close to 25-28.

Something like this if you were looking for more of just a bison face logo?

I've never owned a Bills jersey before. Allen will be my first.

This is the very same order I ranked them in terms of likelihood to start this year.

I'd go under if forced to bet, but I'd probably just stay away from the Bills number.

Yep. Perhaps it'll prove to be an anomaly, but this year at least, it appears that Beane really favors the physical attributes and is willing to put his trust in the Bills staff to develop these guys. I saw at least a couple times plays where the RT in particular literally didn't block anybody. He just stood up out of his stance and looked around while guys ran past him untouched. Edit: Obviously it's natural since he's our guy now, but I'm glad to see people diving into his film and coming away more impressed than they expected to be. I've been high on him for two years now and while he wasn't my first choice, I was happy that we took him over Rosen. A lot of the things people are seeing as they go through the film now are the same things I noted when I was doing my own scouting. He's soooo much further along as a passer than EJ for example was when the Bills took him; that comparison was always nuts to me. I've long felt that the Cam Newton comparison is the closest for him. He'll be a better passer/rely more on his passing than Cam does IMO, and obviously he isn't as good a runner as Cam (but is still good in his own right), but I think stylistically speaking, they're very similar as passers and playmakers. And Allen doesn't have the off-field red flags that Newton had.
