MrEpsYtown Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I know it is early, but today is Josh Rosen's pro day. I figured I'd start a thread so we can put info here as it comes out. Nice article from Peter King on SI: https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/03/05/nfl-combine-2018-news-josh-rosen-shaquem-griffin-mmqb-peter-king I found some of the tidbits interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all of the first round projections have some warts, but that is what was said about Goff and Wentz. The ones for Rosen are injury history and "he's a millennial", the latter of which is so stupid and lazy I can't believe it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I think there are legitimate concerns about Rosen being athletic and big enough to extend plays in NFL. Is he going to be an easy target for NFL pass rushes? Also makes you worry about the concussions. Eli and Brady have quick feet and elite processing ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I imagine that the scouts that we sent to see Mayfield will be at Oklahoma State today to watch Rudolph, Washington, etc. Someone else will be there to watch Rosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because most millennials I was in classes with went into STEM fields, and they can't get anything other than an entry level job with 5-10 years practical experience. I lot I know work a side gig, or have two jobs. When I hear "entitled" it's usually part of a story like, "and so I asked him to come in on his day off, with no notice, and then he had the gall to ask that we pay him overtime because he was pushing past 40 hours. I told him we would roll those hours to next week so we don't have to report overtime. (I personally had this happen to me multiple times before I graduated). Can you believe the entitlement?"

BuffaloFan68 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I started out the 2017 college season with Darnold & Allen at the top of my list for QBs that I wanted for the Bills. As the year progressed, those 2 were replaced by Rosen, Rudolph & Mayfield. Mayfield scares me because he reminds me of past QBs like Vince Young & Tyrod Taylor in the fact that they made everything look so easy in college that they couldn't do so easily in the Pros. Allen dropped down because he had such a terrible year but he didn't have a decent supporting cast but you can not deny he has an incredible arm and size (can't coach size & arm strength). Rudulph had insane numbers and was benched before most games were over due to games being blowouts. Rosen has the quickest release and tightest/consistent spiral along with decent size. I do worry about Rosen's durability in the NFL, he seems a little skinny yet - need to bulk that boy up. Darnols loses me with his "ho-hum" personality, I want someone with a little more passion/character. Let's go Buffalo!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearLess Price Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I wonder if they will send out McDerm to anyones pro day like broncos did with vance. The Broncos will draft Mayfield at 5 if he is there. They requested to work with him at the senior bowl and now this. If Beane or Derm are their personally, its a big sign we are looking at taking Rosen with #2 or #3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) I really hope the Bills can land this kid. I did the math for the Bills to trade up to 2. The 2nd pick is valued at 2600. Bills would need to trade 12, 22, 53, 65 to hit 2635. Because of the high demand for the QB position, and they may be in a potential bidding war with the Jets and Broncos, they may even have to throw another 2nd or 3rd in to finish the deal. Going to cost a lot but I am hoping they do it! Edited March 15, 2018 by billsfan11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Rosen does well today. How could he not its his pro day, I expect Buffalo to lock up a top pick during the owners meeting. When the Eagles and Rams moved it was fairly early on in the process. Once there minds where made up it happened quick. Comes down to what they feel comfortable with spending.

FeelingOnYouboty Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Really hope the Bills make a show of force and send the whole organization to UCLA for Rosen's Pro Day and then announce the trade tomorrow after they finish taking him to dinner tonight Today might be a big day for the franchise if Rosen is the target. There's another one coming up that we might hear about trades which is the Annual League Meeting(3.22.18 - 3.25.2018).

Yeah OK - didn't mean to get all 'get off my lawn' on you (it's been a tough week at work) When I started with IBM (late 80s) you were hired in as non-exempt, which meant you made overtime until you got your first promotion to exempt (no overtime). Was always a huge pay cut when people got that first promotion and lost all the (paid) OT (and worked the same hours).
