You can probably get him at 22, but it's unwarranted hyperbole to characterize the desire for a franchise qb after 25 years of mediocrity or worse as hysteria.

If they miss out on one of the top four, this draft is a fail.

I think these are genuine concerns. OTOH, I am upgrading Allen some.

I thought some folks were claiming Allen was a dim bulb. 13 is really too low, imo.

Fair chance he goes in round one.

I like DJ Chark, but he's probably a 2nd round grade. I also like E. St. Brown; harder to predict when he will be selected.

Sure hope they have some draft capital left after trading up for qb to address lb and wr at minimum.

I'd really like St. Brown for the Bills.

I dunno. I think you need to drink some green tea or something. Too long before the draft to be this angst-ridden.

Honestly, you are paranoid on this matter. And the Broncos aren't taking the reindeer at five, but I'd be fine with it if they did.

That is a very interesting suggestion. Well done.

I kinda like the idea that we could start on our 25 and teams couldn't rule out the qb getting the ball to the goal line.

I think some rational efforts to protect the athletes are fine, but there's no doubt that the prevailing sensibility is just as much a cultural product of a particular ethos promoted by universities and elite culture as it is a determination of science. Regardless, I fear it is a losing cause. One will be treated as a regrettable dinosaur addicted to gratutious and dangerous displays of machismo.

Yes, this is very reasonable. Beane seems like a pretty even-tempered fella, so it might work out that way. Not everything in the draft is reasonable, though.

Crazy, but it kinda makes sense. Bills would be the talk of the draft, that's for sure.

Yeah, that is possible, I think. Comes down to if you think the fella is going to continue to be a prima donna semi-basket case. If you think you can sign him long-term and manage the personality, it's very tempting, especially if you add the high end qb.

It would have to be 22 and the Eagles pick, imo. Probably say goodbye to moving up for a qb. Guy is a very talented headcase and will be expensive to keep.

Please be right.

That would be a generational talent.

My magic eight ball is suffering from multiple personality disorder. Can't get a read. I think Bills may like Allen, but I personally like Mayfield.

Now instead of being distracted by which qb the Bills should try and get, I am distracted by Kay Adams . . .

If they are really enamored with a qb and he doesn't go 1 to Cleveland, I think they are going to spend a lot to get 2. I'm not arguing good or bad, this is what I think they will do. I think they may like Allen more than most on this board do. To me, the middle path is a smaller trade up after five to grab one of the top four if available.

Solid idea.

I can defer hope, I'm used to it. Not that the lottery gods are ever kind to Buffalo, but I want whatever edge I can get to improve a chance at Dahlin.

Could be wrong, but I thought I read or heard that he got taller and put on weight after high school.
