I'm not opposed to that strategy but I would prefer to spend more draft ammunition on Rudolph than Allen. I think Josh Allen will take slightly longer to develop then Rudolph. Let Smith groom him.

Beane is there watching him in person. He fits his profile. 

I don't think Rudolph will ever be 'elite' but he has the potential to be a top 10-15 QB. Certainly doesn't have the mobility of Michael Vick nor does he have the elite arm talent of Rodgers or Brady but he is a smart, pocket QB that will never be great but good enough to build a team around and certainly good enough to win games with.

He's going to be gone by the time we pick. I'd take a chance on Allen, sit him down for a year behind Alex Smith hopefully. Take Allen or Rudolph with our 1st, send our 3rd to KC for Smith, double up on QB.

Nah they can trade up for him if they want him. He won’t be that much higher than our pick. Package our two firsts.

Rudolph just threw the ball to a receiver short of the sticks on 3rd down.  I don't want him in Buffalo. :rolleyes:

 

His accuracy is spotty with the long ball (often under throws, sometimes over, generally accurate at intermediate range. Only average arm strength, doesn't deal well with pressure at all - worse than Rosen in that regard. Has a lot of weapons - Washington and Ateman are NFL calibre. Hill gives him a decent running game to work with.

He has franchise QB measurables, 6'5" 230, but I think any team drafting him as a franchise guy will be disappointed. Huge drop off from Darnold, Rosen and Mayfield IMO. I would not pick him from this class.

There was an uneasy memory about Odell Haggins' name as I watched the FSU game.  Then it hit me.  He was the whipping boy of the DL when Levy refused to get a real DT until Fat Ted was forced down his throat.  Ah the memories.  Hope he does better at FSU than he did in Orchard Park.

 

Fat Ted?! Are you serious? Ted Washington was the  best NT we ever had and one of the greatest ever.

Ugh. I’d get it if this was some random bowl game, but USC is a big time matchup and a very important game for Ohio State. Zeke and Bosa playing against ND in 2015 pretty much means that everyone should play in every bowl game.  On top of that, Urban has been promising for a month that everyone will go, and earlier this week Billy Price was insulted at the mere suggestion that someone might sit this one out. Weak move if true.
