Peter Schrager: somehow, some way, Sam Darnold is a Buffalo Bill

Wow. Not that I want the Jets or Phins to be good. But it would be pretty cool seeing Mayfield, Darnold, and Rosen fighting it out in the AFC East for the next ten years, while the Pats fade into oblivion.

 

I know it's unlikely that all three will pan out anyway. But it would give us the most interesting division for a little while at least.

 

It would be nice to see the AFCE regain some glory. I hope our young QB is the one to knock Brady off his pedestal.

I think its very likely that all three QBs end up to the Bills, Jets and Dolphins. No one talks about the Dolphins much, but there's no way that Gase is sticking with Tannehill, and it seems that Rosen will be well within the target of them trading up.

 

The kicker would be if the Patriots drafted Lamar Jackson. I could see Belichick really craving the challenge of winning with a whole new offensive system, especially with Jackson's skill set. He's been there done that with the "old school" drop back QB. 

 

The AFC East would be cra-cra if this happened.

Darnold would be by third, (after Mayfield and Rosen) but your logic is likely spot-on.   And I'd be fine with Darnold.  

 

didn't this happen to Jim Kelly also??

 

Yeah. Kelly wanted to play for Penn State but they wanted him to play linebacker. In fact, I think several schools had the intention of switching his position. Miami was one of the only "big name" schools to come through with a scholarship and the guarantee that he would stay at QB.

The Bills will probably at least have to throw in a pair of Sketchers horseshoes for equine-faced Elway in order to seal a deal...

He not only looks like one but is known to act like an A$$ as well. I wouldn't wait to trade with this guy while on the clock at pick 5. I would rather deal with Cleveland or NYG to get in front of him. I think Denver has done way too much work this off season on college QBs to pass on one.

I  tolerated 45 min of Cavs talk to give you this tidbit from Dustin Fox’s show. So you better appreciate it. lol. He said wrt to his tweet about Browns and Mayfield/Allen... he talked to two people with connections to the Browns (who do not know each other) and they both gave them those two names. He said he believes Allen is the pick.

 

mayfield is the alternate if they trade out of 1 and Allen is gone when they pick. 

 

Btw I haven’t looked at the Tyrod thread but the Browns are really parading him around as the QB ... it’s nothing like how the Bills are presenting AJ. Fwiw

 

they are totally setting it up as the guy they draft is some developmental guy.

interceptions and fumbles don't bother anybody?  how about the wonky throwing motion and poor footwork in the pocket?  not worth trading all of those extra picks over someone like Rosen.  would be a very poor decision based on where we are picking in this draft.  if we were picking #1 and we had our choice then fine you can talk yourself into him maybe but the extra picks make it not worth it value-wise.  Rosen is the best QB in the draft and he will be available at 5

The fumbles bother me, but I am fairly certain the interception rate is on par with Rosens.  So if that bothers you about Darnold it should with Rosen as well.

Nope. See above. Rosen's strength is that he puts the ball where others can't get it. Darnold makes far more bonehead plays where you are like what the heck was he thinking on that one. Reminds me of Fitzpatrick in that regard. And the kicker is that Darnold's offense is far more completion friendly. It's a lot of quick throws and crossing routes

Tyrod with receivers he doesn't have to throw open..........I can understand the optimism.

 

Bills need a QB who can throw THRU defenders to get their garbage WR corps open.    Easy to see the lack of optimism for AJ who was pretty meh with a top 5 WR/TE corps in Cinci.

Cleveland. Allen

Giants.  Barkley

Jets.  Rosen

Cleveland. Chubb

Buffalo via trade. Darnold 

 

The Jets are not drafting Rosen. The Jets owner is a friend of Trump, Trump named him the ambassador to Ireland, and Rosen once wore a hat that said "@#$! Trump".

 

The Jets will be drafting either Darnold or Mayfield.

Allen can NOT be a plan B!!! He’s the worst damn QB in this entire draft. 


First, I think "worst QB in the draft" is an overstatement. "Worst of the big four" is one thing, but worst in the whole draft? C'mon, man.

Second, I'm not saying what I would do (I don't like Allen), I'm saying what I feel the Bills would do.

could be smoke to make other teams believe they're set at QB and may not draft one in the first round?

 

whadda, whadda, whadda you say?

Hue Jackson all but said the 1st pick is a QB. They aren't trying to convince people they aren't taking a QB.

I think we get to pick No. 4, and RJ White on CBS Sports thinks it will only cost No. 12, No. 96, and next years 1st. No way the Browns will able to afford the fifth year option on two top 10 picks at premium positions. The option cost on No. 12 is a different story.

Why is Rosen more and more the one of the "big 4" to most likely fall?

Your dreaming if that all you think your giving up to move from 12 to 4, I I could see 12, 22, and next years 1  ...

this is what i fear.  at that point it is my own personal bias but there is no way anyone could convince me that Darnold is so much better than Rosen that you would give up potentially an extra 1st and 2nd rounder for him.  that's obscene.

 

BTW, I agree with this.

Front office guys and scouts thinking they are psychologists rather than just a bunch of dumb former jocks. Aaron Rodgers fell for similar reasons. You can't predict the future and you can't get inside someone's mind so drafting someone based on what could happen is silly.

12, 22, and next years 1st is what I would pay to get to 2 overall. Taking on 12 and 22 this years in addition to one puts Cleveland in the same boat as staying at 1 and 4, that fifth year option money is going to hurt.

Lol what? The Browns are a mess. These 2 players are TOTAL OPPOSITES. How can you be deciding between 2 completely different players?

 

Josh Allen:

Tall, big hands, poor college stats

 

Baker Mayfield:

Short, small hands, amazing college stats

 

What do they value? How can they be zeroing in on polar opposites? If they value big strong players then that imediately disqualified Mayfield. If they value completion percentage then Allen is off the board. This is bizarre even for Cleveland

I don't buy that rumor.  Makes no sense.  If it is true they should trade that pick.
