Have a look at history.  The people who do this for a living are not much better at selecting draft talent than anyone else.

 

 

I am not aware of any research studies showing posters on NFL team websites being as successful as team scouting staffs and front offices in recognizing NFL talent. Perhaps you could provide some links?

I've never seen so much hate for a player like we've seen for Allen. He is going to be great.

Mayfield sucks. Manzeil 2.0. Browns are such idiots 

Josh Allen has the best arm in NFL. From day 1

He's not even close to being Manziel. He's actually smart and knows the game. He is the most accurate QB in the draft and is so to all levels of the field. He is also passionate and wants to be the best. A two-time walk on QB who became the best in college football. The Browns just got a Franchise QB.

As a former Marine who has at one time in my life been trained to end human life with my bare hands if necessary I have always thought it was nearly impossible to offend me. 

 

I have believed this most of my life. I was wrong as it turns out. 

 

Being called a “snowflake” makes me literally want to rip someone’s candy ass over privileged still beating heart out of their pampered chest and eat it. 

 

Weird

Soul crushing night. All that draft capital giving away for an epic bust in the making. At least we got a good linebacker. Now we get to sit out for the rest of the draft and see all the good players we missed go by. They should have stayed at 12 they would have gotten this bust anyway. They should have stayed at 21 a good player would have come to him, instead we gave away the farm for what.

Arizona wanted him and would have taken him over Rosen.  Would Miami or seone else take Rosen before we picked? Who knows.  Beane had to make a move.  I am ok with the trade of 2nd picks.  I do wish we could have traded 96 instead of 65 for Jermaine but that kid should have gone 7 or 8 picks before that.   Overall a good night.  If we can get a good OL or WR at 96 then we will leave the first three rounds with three starting caliber players.  Which all you can ask.

Rosen dropped on my list when he wore that F Trump hat. Glad Bills picked Allen

 

He did??  Damn, now I REALLY wish we had picked him!

“Snowflake” is definitely the most overused term in the history of the English language 

I’ve learned that the biggest ❄️ are the ones who call others ❄️.  ❄️ is about as cool as a man using the phrase butt hurt.

He’s a maniac who keeps a list of enemies. I think the fanciest inpatient psych facility in Ohio just got a franchise resident.

It's not an exact science for sure but I think there is a lot of arrogance among fans esp with the internet where people think the information they get off of websites is as good as what professional scouting staffs have. But no matter what picks thought to be "good" will be busts and "Busts" will end up being great players.

A chip on your shoulder makes you more competitive. What else do you think his list serves. It's motivation

Agreed. Any endeavor to predict anything in the way of human behavior is an inexact science. However, I will put my faith in staffs that literally spend hundreds upon hundreds of hours vetting draft picks over any garden variety poster on a fan website.

I trust the bills staff. They know better than I. I simply thought Rosen was the best QB in the draft.

I neither like the pick nor hate it...........i'm a little concerned about taking a project QB in the top 10 though.

 

I'm all for a project QB if we have Andy Reid, Doug Pederson or Sean McVay as our head coach.

 

But we got the defensive minded Sean McDermott and we all saw how well he had his staff prepare Petterson to start.

No, he is on a short leash with a very small segment of the fan base who think they know more than people who do this for a living. Beane may not be smarter than everyone else; however I'm pretty sure he is smarter, in these matters, than that very small segment

 

You're the same fan saying the same crap about the same **** FO's this excuse of an NFL franchise has had the last two decades...

 

This is a never ending nightmare...

Knowing that someone completing less than 60% of his passes against lower tier competition makes us a snowflake ? Come on now, do better.

Not appreciating a 57% completion rate in college makes me a snowflake? 

It isn’t baseball where a pitcher who can’t throw strikes at any level is a problem.

 

i agree that he is a major gamble and I don’t know if he will succeed at the NFL level, but to those who say accuracy can’t be improved, at least consider that he might be better if he isn’t running for his life while looking for receivers who can’t get open, but yet he has to chuck because that is his team’s only chance.

 

He might be analogous to a great college basketball player on an overmatched team.  His shooting percentage may be negatively affected by having to take ill-advised shots because it is his team’s best chance to win.

Sometimes the fans are right, hell with the Bills in the past (Esp during the Jauron era) seemed to be correct more than the people in charge. Everyone knew at the time the picks were made Maybin over Orakpo was moronic, the CJ Spllier pick was stupid, Whitner over Nagata was bad, and McCargo over Mangold was insane. But this coaching staff has seemingly made good decisions with personnel moves more often than not. 

 

People bitched at the Dawkins trade up and Dawkins had a great rookie year. People were upset Sammy was traded but most people would rather have had that 2nd round pick, EJ Gaines, and not having to pay Sammy 16+ million to keep him. 

[BuffaloBud420]

I'm high and couldn't be happier with picks. Best draft ever
