We had 12, AZ had 15. Not to mention better 2nd and 3rd round picks. Would not have been hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) How about giving Allen a solid weapon like WR Calvin Ridley? Benjamin, Ridley, Clay, Jones and McCoy? not too shabby.

Joe Miner Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 So who do the Bills want so badly at 22 that they wouldn't give up both first round picks? LB OL ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hope the Bills trade back in the 1st to get some picks back and draft an OT or C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, are they like the whole staff of fulltime NFL scouts that have something like 100 years experience between them that picked EJ Manuel?

billsfan714 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Im as cynical as they come with this franchise, but this was the guy I wanted....and we can get the MLB with our next first....Evans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Depending on what the Saints gave up in this trade, it would be really tempting to give up 22 & 65 for Edmonds or James right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 2 minutes ago, stuvian said: If Beane wants to hang his career on Allen so be it but I'm not sold. It feels like an epic reach. Let's hope McCarron can generate TDs for the foreseeable future This ^ There is something very “Billsy” about this pick. We didn’t get a guy from a big time school who had vast success in college. Instead, we get the small school guy who was quite average in college. Allen just seems second rate. I remember being excited about Losman, Maybkn, Spiller and all those picks. Maybe I’ve just grown jaded, but this pick just feels wrong. It just doesn’t give me any reason to feel excited. I really hope I’m wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albwan Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 IMHO every pick is a crap shoot, let's cross our fingers and hope the bills hit...they are due Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Joshin' Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Allen was fourth of the top 4 QBs. As many do, I worry about the level of competition and accuracy. My hope is that many professionals had him #1 or #2. That gives me hope and as a Bills fan I will hang on hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Y. Orangeman Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Jesus, this is the 7th pick they used on a QB....and I think he is ridiculously underrated around here. Edited April 27, 2018 by N.Y. Orangeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezertbill Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Allen pick is growing on me. Rosen’s fragility is scary 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Allen fits the current NFL. Big guy. Big arm. Some mobility. Personality fits Buffalo & McBeane. But man. I don’t think he can actually play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
