I think that is a plausible guess on Elway. Allen scares me. I think he's unlikely to reach his potential. If he turns out well, this would indeed be a great draft for us.

I don't think any rational front office is going to follow the Jets' lead here. Offer a reasonable deal. Overpay some because qb comes with a premium, but if Gmen want the Jets to set the market, I suspect you have to walk away.

Thanks. I'm under the impression this isn't a particularly deep draft at oline. Not sure what resources might be needed to get Rosen, but I hope we have something left over to substantially improve RT. (I am also hoping Miller has a resurgent year under a different OC.)

Ahh, you have the benefit of British TV. They don't carry that on BBC America, alas. Since you seem to have a high opinion of Rosen, do you have any significant concerns about his pocket awareness or durability in general. I'm not really worried about the quirky personality, but the former give me some pause.

I am temperamentally a melancholic, but I endorse this message.

I just don't see the rationale. Browns and Colts will take a qb. Giants and Broncos might. I kinda doubt the Gmen go qb. You make a small trade up to seven and maybe grab the third qb off the board. Absolutely no reason to get shut out of the qb market and no need to "get fleeced." I suspect we take the top rated lb on the board at 22. I doubt Billy Price makes it out of the second. Vander Esch might go in the first. I like DJ Chark over Kirk, but I'd be happy with either.

All of this is plausible. I don't have your certitude, but I hope it's right. If it is, they have a plan to get to number two or they think their fella will be available in a shorter trade up (say 7 with the Bucs) or at 12.

You pass on Watson and Mahomes, trade assets to set yourself up to grab a young potential franchise qb who will be cost controlled for five years and you end up trading possibly a first for Nick Foles? Worst case scenario, they stick at 12 and take Jackson or Allen. Browns and Jets are going qb. Giants might, but probably won't. Dolphins probably will. You'd have to guard against the Cards trading up ahead of you. You might be able to make a trade with the Bucs to grab the third qb taken in the draft.

If they like Jackson, they should be able to get him and retain 22. You get the qb and probably a lb in round one. Not my first choice, but I'd sure like to find a way to get R. Smith.

Yeah, it's possible. Maybe the G men don't want to trade with the Jets. Maybe they have an agreement in principle to trade with us. I dunno. I'm not ruling 2 out just yet.

I think what's not fine about it is the Jets have now most likely increased the cost to get to 2.

It's either that or Defcon 1 at OBD now.

Well, I would love to get Roquan Smith, but I think your priorities are skewed. Unless, of course, they are not dialed in on one or two of the top qbs specifically. Qb trumps lb, so I would settle for second tier lb before I settle for second tier qb.

Why not? You likely aren't using both second round picks to move up.

There is good rb depth in this draft. Don't understand the fixation with thirty year old running backs. I was kind of hoping Rashaad Penny would fall far enough for us to nab him. Overall, I like the moves. You can't fill all the holes in one off-season. Seems to me RT, LB, WR should be prioritized after QB is addressed.

Well, I can't really argue the validity of an implicit message. In terms of your overall view of Buffalo and Allen, I think we are in agreement.

I think this is the correct set of questions. For those who simply dismiss Allen, both Mayock and Daniel Jeremiah have him rated the number two qb prospect in the draft. I also seem to recall Jeremiah saying that he values accuracy over arm strength, so I don't think he is just blindly going by Allen's ridiculous arm strength. Regardless, my view is that Allen is a low floor, high ceiling fella. I would much prefer someone with a higher floor. For certain, if you don't have the right support in place and patience, Josh Allen will bust. I just don't see Buffalo as set up to nurture this guy properly. If they draft him, I will hope and pray I am wrong.

Anyone within a ten square mile distance instantly loses fifty IQ points.

You'd likely have to trade the 2019 1st, which I don''t to do, along with 12, a second rounder, and 65 to maybe get the Giants to bite. Assuming the Browns go Saquon at #1, Darnold is available. I'm a big UGA fan, so I've been paying attention to Dawg players. There's a rumor that Roquan was medically red-flagged at the combine. He might fall to 22. That's how it would be possible, at least.

The fact that no one has tied Darnold to Buffalo is actually starting to make me think he might be a target.

I like Sam Bradford, but I don't trust Mr. Glass to play a few games without getting hurt, let alone a couple of seasons. And I think there is likely going to be a run on qb. Unless you have the top four or five ranked pretty equally, you move up and get your guy. The trades in and off season suggest we have one or two fellas in mind. I think they are aiming for pick 2 or 3 and there is no reason to think they can't get it done with the ammo in hand.

Pure speculation by that Albright fella that we might be interested in Josh Allen. I don't think it's connected to any inside info on what OBD is thinking.

Yeah, he missed it. But, you know, OP thought it necessary to speculate that we might be using 12 & 22 to move up.

I think he may be very good in a limited role. Clearly, leadership is important to the mix with this regime and Kyle has it in spades. Class move and I'm very glad he's back. Now go get the qb.
