Ayjent Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Great - he has good measurables, and is a good athlete that is only so so at playing QB. Sweet pick. Way to turn 6 picks in the first three rounds (2 in each) into Josh Allen, a pretty good looking, but inexperienced 19 yr old LB and a late 3rd round pick. I see that you did this draft right in Doug Whaley's honor. 3 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeezus Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Can't wait until Sullivan asks Beane why he passed up on the best passer since Luck for a project QB. Beane will say something about passion and leadership as if that is what NFL players care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 From my seat we just gave up five premier picks to get the second coming of EJ Manuel and a good linebacker. We gave away all this talent to get these pics and this is what we have to show for it. It's a bleak night. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeezus Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 we just traded away a "really good athlete" to draft a less accurate "really good athlete" Beane is the most overrated GM in Bills history. dude traded so much top young talent and we end up picking a racist hillbilly 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going with break - all in. Actually I'd even say it will be this draft in general, because this was the restock the cupboard draft after jettisoning lots of pretty talented players. Sure you needed to get a QB, but giving away even more assets to move up again? Come on man. That's blowing your load before you even get started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awwufelloff Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Beane: It's snowy and windy in Wyoming, so lets draft the guy with the same weather conditions. I'm so sick of the Bills drafting QBs based on the weather. Buffalos weather in Sep/Oct/Nov is warm and sunny. Only one month of the season features bad weather. Bradys arm is mediocre at his age, but his accuracy is unmatched and he will still destroy us for another few years. Accurate>>>physical qualities always.

Im only hearing the EJ comparisons on Bills boards. Everywhere else compares him to Rothlisberger, Wentz and Newton. As a Bills fan I get that we all want to think negatively right away but the potential is there. He was also talked about as the biggest boom or bust guy so maybe all the comparisons are good. Only time will tell if it’s the good comparisons or EJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) I really wish we can stop with this weather nonsense. We get it, it gets cold and there is snow on the ground in the winter. Why does it have to make up the identity of our offense? This whole run the ball and drafting QBs with big hands to throw it in the swirling winds blah blah blah Just once I’d like to draft a guy who is good at actually passing the ball and gets to rip it on Sundays. I foresee the next several years of being an offense that has the fewest passing attempts simply because our QBs suck at it.

Carmel Corn Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Geez, the overall reaction on this board is depressing and ridiculous. Those who don't like the Allen pick obviously know much more about football than our front office and should have been in the war room instead. There was nothing we could do within reason to get Mayfield or Darnold, so it boils down to all of you being pissed about not getting Josh Rosen. Rosen is a good prospect, no doubt but given the status of our o-line, he may get hit again and again. Two concussions in one season is a big red "flag" concerning his durability. Believe what you want about his personality, but I wonder about how coachable he is. Not convinced he is a better long-term option for the Bills. I like Allen's size and abilities. He may take longer to develop, but you all need to give him, our GM and coaching staff a chance to show they know more than us fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelCity Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 To be fair, and I categorize myself as the audience for this comment, we didn't mortgage the future. I hope we show the guts to draft another QB high if Allen fails. Of course I hope he's the next big ben more... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I would have liked them to mention more positives than "he's a great athlete" and "he played in bad weather." That doesn't make me confident they made this pick for the right reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
