If he was 6'5" he'd be the top pick. Won't what? I knew a guy in college who said “I could have played in the NBA, but I can’t complain. I didn’t miss by an inch or two, I missed by a whole half of a foot!” (He played with our pretty decent college guys, and he might have been right.) I agree Mayfield would have a totally different outlook at 6’5”. Maybe he can still do it. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ion Fitzsimons of ESPN says that he lives and breathes football and will do anything to be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I just heard on NFLN that shaking hands with him is like shaking hands with a set of keys or with a kangaroo. So how big are those hands .... anyone know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how big are those hands .... anyone know? I've been a proponent of drafting Mayfield or Jackson -- I surmise Darnold and Rosen are out of reach. I think someone will reach on Allen early, too. The small hands thing is a concern though, especially if you play in Western NY conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkollidas Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I just don’t think he’s what the Bills are looking for, just his personality and how he carries himself. They seem frown upon guys who could be viewed as an “attention seeker” or “high maintenance”, not to mention off field issues, along with physical height. I feel like he’s low the board of what they’re looking for. guys that will be high: Darnold Rosen Allen Lock Rudolph - those to me are the 5 guys they’ll target to different degrees.

This is where I have always had a problem. Mayfield is off the board for being "high maintenance" and "attention seeking" but we leave Rosen on? If Mayfield is off, then Rosen is off for the same reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, I’m not sure, just guessing, so you could totally be right. To me there’s two differences. 1. Rosen hasn’t had off-field issues that I know of, and certainly not to the degree Mayfield has. 2. The physical characteristics couldn’t be more different. 6’4” versus 6’0” I would imagine is a big deal to McDermott and Beane who have talked repeatedly about a guy being able to “stand tall in the pocket”, etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the off the field issues, Rosen hasnt been arrested thats true, but if you're speaking about attention seeking and me first I think its fair his name come up in that category. And just for argument sake, I am sure Rosen would have had even more attention grabbing headlines if he had performed or won in the fashion Mayfield has this year.

Victory Formation Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) We don't have a shot at Darnold or Rosen, no chance in hell. Probably have to trade up for Allen. Mayfield and Jackson are risky picks in the 1st, I'm not sure yet. Edited December 15, 2017 by NewDayBills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came from money and was coddled so at any time he could say screw football and be a politician. On the other hand kid has a great arm and incredible deep ball accuracy and to me seems like the best pure passer in the draft. Could be a Cutler though.

People get the flu and it kicks ass for a few days then life goes on. It is, however, tough on people with compromised immune systems but not necessarily indicative of it.
