The kid is still on the plane to Buffalo, yet you're claiming this draft pick a bust. All picks are a gamble, that's football. Allen would have gone quickly to any one of the teams looking for a quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 32 minutes ago, LabattBlue said: This has nothing to do with the players the Bills drafted yesterday... As someone who loves to watch the draft, yesterday morning, I was excited about watching Day 2 of the draft, knowing the Bills had 4 selections(2 in the 2nd & 2 in the 3rd). By the end of last night, those 4 selections became 1...at the end of the 3rd round. Really takes all the excitement out of Day 2, and makes Day 3 more interesting, with 4 selections. Well, now that we know how it personally affects your enjoyment of the draft, we should really start complaining about the move up to get Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect this team to be even better than last year. Couldn't agree more. I did not want to trade up, but Beane did, twice, and they got the two most important positions for us in this draft. Flesh out the depth with rest of the picks, and we'll be fine. This team was not supposed to go 9-7 and make the playoffs, but it did, and fans who wanted the Bills to tank still whined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still would have hated the choice but it would have been much less reckless. I think Beane was trying to protect the Bills from any other team thinking about trading ahead of them. Allen wasn't my first choice, either, but apparently, he's the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona traded up to 10 to get Rosen and if we didn't take Allen, somebody else would have, probably Miami. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh. Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I'm fine with a boring Friday night in late April, as long as it's leading to exciting Sundays in September-December (January? Is that too much to hope?). That is more than an even trade in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 The Bills have some extra ammo in next year's draft so don't be surprised if there is a trade up if they really like a guy. In 2019 they have an extra 4th from the Reggie Ragland trade, and an extra 7th rounder for the Cardale Jones trade. So right now they are sitting on 9 draft picks and 100 million in cap space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I watched the draft. I'm just not convinced that any of these QBs were the kind you trade up for. You trade up for guys that you know can and will start Week 1 (Manning, Manning, or Luck). There are none in this draft. Edited April 27, 2018 by jjmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt you hear bro? Were good. We won the draft. We took the poster child for NFL QBs. Tall white dudes with no risky political views > better Talent and proven ncaa production vs solid defense. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTier Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 31 minutes ago, NewEraBills said: They'll probably make some moves. They really need to. WR and RT are areas I'd like to see them address. I think the interior OL is a bigger concern than the tackles at this point. Luckily, interior OL are positions where it's relatively common for Day 3 picks to turn into decent or better players. I also think that the number of trades in the first round suggests that there may be limited top end talent in this draft, especially at some positions like OL, and teams went up and got the best ones early. Usually interior OLers (centers/guards) who actually go in the first round go in the 20s. Nelson went in the top ten and Price went in the top fifteen I think. A right tackle went in the top ten as well, which is not nearly as common as left tackles going high. Apparently, none of this year's WRs were particularly well regarded, so maybe it's just as well that the Bills look to Day 3 or FA for help there.

Trust me, if we hadn't traded up, both of those guys would have been gone. After we took Allen, it changed the rest of the 1st round as far as QB's go. Arizona traded up to get Rosen and I believe if Miami didn't take Allen, someone else would have traded up. I don't believe either one of those guys would have been there at 12. I could be wrong, but obviously the Bills thought the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
