Reed83HOF Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Even after signing McCarron, the former Bengals backup, to a two-year deal, Buffalo is still clearly a team in the market for a QB. The talk I'm hearing around league circles has the Bills coveting Wyoming QB Josh Allen. With five of the first 65 picks in their possession, including two first-rounders, keep an eye on the second (Giants) and fourth (Browns) overall picks as potential trade targets for Buffalo. The Jets and Colts set the market for what it will cost to trade up for a top QB in this draft. It won't be cheap, but I expect the Bills to aggressively attempt to move up for a quarterback, whether it's Allen or someone else. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000921139/article/five-teams-most-likely-to-pick-qb-in-first-round-of-2018-nfl-draft?campaign=tw-articleshare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Allbright already stated that the Bills are purposely shoving this info out there to multiple sources. DJ is likely one of them. OBD has been vacuum sealed on info since Beane’s team got there. Everything they’ve done was sans leak. Except for what they wanted out there - that they wouldn’t cut TT so if you want him, better trade for him. Now all of a sudden they are leaking real info about the most important decision in their world? Think about that, please.

Ittakestime Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Just now, Doc said: Yeah, sure. Not sure people are dismissing it, Allen is pretty much the consensus number 2 on all QB draft boards. People need to realize, they would be giving up the house for Josh Allen if they move to 2. Not sure why people want to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 To me this is all smokescreen stuff. The rumors about us loving Darnold and Rosen that came way before the combine are the rumors I feel are closest to the truth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Allen is #2 purely for his size and arm strength. Trading what it would take to move to #2 to get him will prove to be a huge mistake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihilarian Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 NFL careers are on the line with whatever they do. The safer choice might be to stay at 12 and see what AJ McCarron can do this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIZ Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I think the Bills have interest in moving up to 2, but they won't make a deal until they see what Cleveland does. One, the Giants may want to stay and take their guy. Two, Buffalo wants to be sure their guy is there. I would imagine Beane and Gettleman have a deal in place, if the Bills guy is there and the Giants are willing to move down. Doubtful Gettleman would make a trade with anyone else, without first giving Beane a chance to counteroffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_Fixit Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 The reality is that some team will look at the 6’5” 230LB frame, laser rocket arm, good head on his shoulders and think that Allen can be a future NFL star while completely ignoring his OBVIOUS accuracy issues. That team will think they can fix his issues. It happens all the time. And it almost never works. We should all hope the Jets draft this man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I’m going to be sickened if we don’t move up ahead of the Jets. But the only thing worse then us not moving up, would be moving up and taking Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a trap as old as time and it scares the heck out of me. We don’t have two more years to waste on another project. You learn if someone has accuracy on the sandlot. You have it or you don’t.

peterpan Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Im sure there is a die hard bills fan out there who works for the NSA. Or has a Russian connection, who could work to hack the other teams draft boards and help us aquire the next all pro QB, which is Rosen. Knowing who wants whom would really help us maneuver.

starrymessenger Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Jeremiah nailed the Spiller pick which surprised most observers, so he's been right before. He has also trotted this Allen to the Bills interest several times. There were as many and similar questions regarding Cam's accuracy as a passer before his draft (despite his better completion percentage) and Allen probably did better than Cam in the combine passing drills. Allen is not, as some maintain, a third round prospect. EJ was a third round prospect (again despite his better completion percentage). Allen is much better and is completely legit as a first rounder. All things considered he would not be my choice, especially if we have to trade up again, (I'd take Lamar ahead of him) but if he winds up being the guy I will have no problem getting behind him 100%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because they are growing, developing, maturing into men from boys. Allen has only played two years in college so there is room to improve his accuracy percentage just like Matthew Stafford did in his third year in college. This mindset that college kids can't develop into better players is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
