RD1, Pick 7: Josh Allen QB - Wyoming


SDS

Recommended Posts

Should've taken Rosen.

Allen is a project whose hype all comes from the fascination with his size, athleticism and big arm. 

When accuracy, ability to go through progressions, read a defense, performance in big games/against good competition, etc. aren't being discussed, it usually doesn't turn out well.

He doesn't even have great stats to at least point to and say "hey, at least he threw for ____ yards and a billion TD's!" The Bills don't even have a single veteran QB on the roster to help guide and teach him. Not very wise.

What makes it even worse is using two 2nd round picks on him... Wouldn't have minded if it were for someone you know is worthy of the mantle, but if you weren't going to take Rosen, might as well have stayed at 12.

Cardinals only gave up 3rd and 5th round picks to move up. Beene did a bad job giving up 2 2nd round picks. Who cares about a 7th round pick.

Welcome to the NFL, where top 10 picks carry a heavy premium.  What did you expect to get the pick for, or are you just here to B word?

Cards gave up nothing for Rosen. 

 

I can see the headlines now

 

”Baker becoming an immediate tone setter for the Browns”

”Rosen pushing Bradford for the starting job”

”Darnold showing quick understanding of the offense”

”Allen hit a hospitality tent and an outhouse today”.

Comparing Allen to EJ is nonsense. If you aren’t willing to give a kid with his talents a chance then there is something else going on in your own mind.

YESSSSSS!!!!

 

To all those that are disappointed. You will be very pleasantly surprised. He will burst into the scene like Cam Newton did when he came out of the gate and surprised everyone with how well he could throw.

 

His accuracy is going to be improved with the work he has done on his footwork and mechanics. 

 

Besides that, he is a great kid (despite the 6 year old tweets) and a great leader. He was Wyoming this year and had to shoulder more responsibility than any other QB this year. 

 

I know many many of you are disappointed, but I am so excited. I’m normally a guy that would write off a QB with Allen’s stats. But he is different. The stats don’t match the ability. Now I hope we can all embrace him as he leads us into the future!

 

GO BILLS!!!

I'm looking forward to watching this kid develop. He has the tools. If he can put his game together, we've found a gem. If not, we didn't trade the farm for him and we can take another swing in 3 years.  I hope its a fun ride!

This screams arrogant “We got you to the playoffs, we can do no wrong” pick. Beane and McDermott put their careers on the line with this pick, they better hope Allen is a decent QB.

We may not know for years. McCarron coukd be our starter for a while, who knows

Josh Rosen, on getting drafted by the Cardinals: “I dodged getting drafted by the Browns, Jets, AND Bills. I’m the luckiest man on earth.”

 

 

Rosen is a notorious !@#$. He will continue to be an !@#$

 

I'm so glad he wasn't the pick.

 

he didn't say that did he?

This is a guy who was rumoured to be going #1 for quite some time and you all think its a horrible pick to take at 7 just because you personally dont like him?  Lots of NFL scouts have been drooling over him.

 

He would have been a horrible pick at 1 and is a horrible pick at 7. Scouts constantly drool over bad players literally every year.

I’m dead inside. I’m going to get there, eventually. But I feel like I got punched in the stomach. 
 

2022 Edit: I’ve never been so wrong. I had no idea. Could not be happier about the pick now. Succumbed to the analysts, etc. back then. But that post could easily sum of my feelings from Sunday night (unrelated to Allen, who is the silver lining of it all)
