26CornerBlitz Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 With two first-round selections thanks to the 2017 draft-day trade with the Kansas City Chiefs, the Buffalo Bills are perfectly positioned to move up and select a quarterback. And they would have to, based on the most recent draft order that has them selecting No. 16 and No. 19 overall. All the way back in August, I started hearing from rival scouts that folks in Buffalo loved Sam Darnold. When rumors circulated that Darnold wouldn't want to go to Cleveland (which he squashed), a source connected to the Bills front office texted me to ask if the USC passer would rebuff the Bills. Darnold won't be on the board for long—in fact he might be the first pick, if he declares—but there is serious smoke connecting the Bills to him.

And I think the idea of being a top-5 Pick (probably top-3 at the latest), is too strong of a pull. Also, the kid seems extremely competitive and I could see him wanting to test himself at the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Playing OSU in the Cotton Bowl, which is a man defense more similar to an nfl style D, will be a nice scouting opportunity.

He is a RS sophomore and he has some things he needs to work on. It's better to work out the deficiencies in college. if he comes out and he falls to us.

I mean the last real reports coming out in October / November had him staying he said last week that he wouldn't go back just because the browns had the first pick... meaning he would play for the browns but he also didn't say he was going to go to the NFL this year its a toss up only Darnold knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
