I posted maybe three times before the draft? Each time, I said that those of you who didn't think the Bills liked Josh Allen were projecting your feelings about Josh Allen. Of course they liked Allen. Liked him from the start. Y'all just didn't want to believe it. It's certainly possible they liked another quarterback a little more -- I bet it was Darnold, if so -- but this Buffalo draft was always headed toward Allen. I'm just glad they didn't have to give up their other No. 1 or next year's No. 1 (which is going to be top 10, at least) in order to make the pick.

They love him here in Memphis. https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/sports/columnists/geoff-calkins/2017/12/24/walk-record-setter-tigers-football-anthony-miller-2017-memphis-sports-person-year/964658001/

Every time someone says "there is no way Bills take Allen" or "I don't think Bills like Allen" I think it's more wishful thinking than anything else. People HOPE the Bills won't take him. We have no earthly idea. As for me, at age 56, with five decades of Bills watching behind me, I always assume that what I don't want to happen will happen. So I'm naturally expecting an expensive trade up for Allen.

When I read a post that says, "I don't think they want Allen," I think it actually means, "I have no idea what they want but I don't want it to be Allen." It's wishful thinking framed as a prediction. The Bills might well pick Allen.

It strikes me as wishful thinking to believe that the Jets won't take Rosen. Bills fans want the Jets to take Allen because they want no part of Allen, and would like Rosen to fall. But I doubt that's happening. My guess is the Bills trade up to either 2 or 4 and take Allen. And then the board will explode.
