Scorp83 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Did the Bills REALLY get their guy? Or did they panic? I believed they panic! I believe they're guy was Darnold...then given the fact that they met with Mayfield about 4 times... i feel like they panic once Mayfield went 1st overall. The Giants probably told them no...Our guy is there, then the Jets...who really screwed us since the trade...take Darnold! Now people want to praise Beane for patients...Please! He was trying to trade with the Browns, The Broncos & the Colts...problem was...all those teams couldn't pass on the players that fell to them. It's obvious that they had Allen over Rosen (Which is concerning imo) & it's just NO WAY they can tell me Allen is a better prospect then Rosen. How far apart were Allen & Rosen? I felt like they could hve sat there at 12 once "Their Guy" went off the board. When you watch Allen play...its just no way they can say... "He was our guy" They panic... just like the other regime did with JP Losman. Thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Giants were, by all accounts, willing to deal for a haul. If Darnold was their guy, they would've made the move (imo). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElMarko Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 The Bills had to outbid Arizona for pick 7. Regardless of how you feel about Allen (I’m on the fence) at least know the facts. Neither Josh would have been avail past pick 10. Plain and simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they felt Darnold was the guy they had to have they would have moved up to 2. And the one thing I think is crystal clear from what we've seen of Beane and McD is they never panic 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was their guy from the beginning. They wouldn't have spent so much time double-checking and re-verifying everything if that wasn't the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC in St. Louis Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I'm on board with the pick. I don't care for Rosen, and when I heard him after the draft saying he was mad at the 9 teams that passed him and would make them pay for it, I thought you're an idiot. At least four of the teams had zero need for a quarterback. There were people who had Allen going with the top pick. Working in Buffalo or Cleveland or any northern team takes a kid with a strong arm. He has one. They'll train him up and he'll be a stud. I also love the linebacker. He's a monster. Great draft. I think we'll move back into the second tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichFan Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 They needed to get to 7 to have their choice of Joshs. They needed to get to 9 or 10 to get the one that was left. Allen was clearly their choice because they went up to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbbillsfan Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I strongly believe Beane and Co likely had one (or both) of Baker and Darnold higher than Allen. However, it seems obvious to me that if they wanted Darnold badly, and felt he was miles ahead of Allen, they would have made a bold move up to 2. I also feel they feel they strongly preferred Allen to Rosen. If not, than they likely would have stayed pat until one of Allen or Rosen was taken, and then make a move, if necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domdab99 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Jesus Christ this forum has a lot of crap in it. I was probably the most vocal anti-Allen guy on this forum, but one thing that is obvious is that Beane and McD got the guy they wanted. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
