    Jackson was the last pick in the first round, not in the draft.  

     

    I've never heard anybody claim that the Bills were stupid to take Jim Kelly while Dan Marino was still on the board.  However, if Kelly had busted (like Todd Blackledge who was taken ahead of him) or even been good but not great like Ken O'Brien, I think that the Bills would have been mocked for their pick and that Kelly would have always been unfavorably compared to Marino.

     

    The Bills are under even more scrutiny for drafting Allen because they passed twice on QBs who have had immediate success in the NFL for a lesser product.  Trading away the pick that KC used to take Mahomes in 2017 and then using a fortune in talent and draft capital to move up to take Allen in 2018 when Jackson would have been available at the Bills original draft spot will haunt the Bills for the foresseable future unless Allen develops into a franchise QB who has a HOF worthy career.  I think anything less, especially if he fails to become a top tier QB, will always be part of the narrative of the Bills of the next decade and of Allen's career.  Very unfairly because he had no say in what team picked him, it will also be part of the narrative of Josh Allen's NFL career, too.

     

     

    I meant to say last pick of the 1st round but thanks for the correction.  My point though was that if Jackson was so good then why did other teams pass then too.  I really don't care cause I personally don't think he is that great of a passer but that is  my opinion. 

  2. Honestly it seems like every time there is a player that the bills pass on in the draft then they always want to single out the Bills it seems as if the other many teams that passed on these players get a free pass but since its the Bills it is just a big huge mistake.  Taking John McCargo one pick before Gronk I believe, passing on Mahomes, passing on Jackson.  Jackson was the last pick in the draft right? Had to be for a reason.  Just my thoughts.

    Didnt we try the two place kickers back a few years ago, one to just do kickoffs and it was somewhat of a failure.  Awfully "expensive" to have two kickers unless you put the rookie on the PS.

    I think we did but i can't remember who they were I am thinking it was carpenter and hopkins but could be wrong.  I doubt that the club would look at having 2 kickers on the roster as a money situation but rather than a position player would be cut.  How much is that kicker gonna make anyways 500k this year?

    I don't have anything against Haus But since the Bills spent draft capital on Bass this past draft I really hope he wins the job outright and becomes the long term answer as kicker for the Bills. Thoughts?

    I think Haush stays on this year as a mentor FG kicker only and have bass take on the longer stuff including kick offs.  That is what I would do.

    With the draft coming up I wanted to know some of  your guys lists on the worst players we ever drafted here.

     

    mine starts off with Aaron Maybin, Mike Williams, Willis McGahee, CJ spiller, JP Losman, Trent Edwards, Dante Whitner, Erik Flowers, James Hardy, and John McCargo, EJ Manuel etc

    I don't know if i can agree with all those but most of them yes.  I had no problem with McGahee, Losman was forced from ralph, Trent Edwards looked like a steal in the 3rd until he got hurt and became captin check down, i think the same can kinda be said for EJ too.  Whitner at the time was considered a reach but still if i remember correctly he still played pretty physical football.  

  6. I actually don't care.  Ivory wasn't gonna see a ton of snaps anyways so why not save the money.  Murphy is gonna be good and can be a serviceable 3rd RB.  I also think that McCoy could have had a 1000 yards if we had a decent line.  I think you can book a RB in round 2-3 just my opinion.

    He personally insinuated that he was played out of position due to need. That did seem to be the case. The bigger issue this year was the injury. He’s not as polished as one would like but has all the raw talent. 

    BPA is likely what he was thinking 

    If that’s the case he needs to rethink it.  He knows we drafted Harrison Phillips last year and are trying to resign Jordan Phillips.  We must go O in the first.
