papazoid Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 We know Josh Allen (pick 7) needs development as a player with great traits but lacking polish out of Wyoming, but development is a given for any QB. The addition of Tremaine Edmunds (16) means that the Bills managed to get two of my top 11 players in this draft class, and Edmunds is likely to help right away. The useful immediate help and long-range upside wasn't limited to Round 1, either. Harrison Phillips (96) is an interior disruptor who can jump into the mix in Week 1. http://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2018/insider/story/_/id/23346039/nfl-draft-grades-mel-kiper-all-32-teams-picks-2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiper is a blow hard who doesn't actually know how to evaluate talent. But in this case, I will pretend he's a genius and agree. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloButt Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Rare #1 for the Bill's. Of course this is all opinion and time will tell, but better to be an A than an F based on talent which is what Mel is rating them on. Go BILLS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me the guy studies this for a whole year that’s all he does. He works Monday through Friday it’s his full time job. No one knows for sure how it will work out ?️♀️. But based on his reports and knowledge of these draft picks he rated the Bills the best. Several other draft experts have the Bills at the top or near the top. So yes I am proud of Beane and the Bills. Most people who are not were Rosen fans and there not excited about Josh Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 He has to fill a column, and "have a take", that's his job. Every once in a while, the Bills are team he choses to feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's smart, he's informed and he's connected. Does that mean he's going to be right? No, of course not. There's no way to predict the future in such a complex area. But he's worth reading and discussing. Edited April 29, 2018 by Thurman#1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I'm no fan of Kipers, but more based off of his style and personality not his judgement on talent. He has made a very nice living for himself doing this every year. I'd rather have his endorsement than not. The draft is over. Beanie did good. Allen is our franchise QB. Before this week we didn't have one, now we do. Either get on the bus, trust the process, or get off. Either way stop whining...Go Bills! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyC81 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 It cracks me up when he rattles off statistics for a single game played by a guy taken in the 7th round. The guy is a college football encyclopedia (the name of the book version for those only familiar with Wikepedia). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too many over sensitive posters here defending QB Josh Allen. You guys are all over the place. When you see that happening, you know there's a problem at QB.

njbuff Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I just pray that these people are right for once. Otherwise, praise is the same as criticism........ means nothing til these kids get on the field. Zay Jones was the only one who underwhelmed as a rookie amongst the draft in 2017, so who knows. The Sirius NFL guys gushed about the Bills draft. Which means nothing also. If the Bills get their franchise QB on offense AND defense from this draft, every Bills fan will be building a King Ghodora statue of the heads of McDermtt, Beane and Pegula right outside their houses.

All_Pro_Bills Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) This is just the opinion of a 'draft expert' and his assessment of the team's picks is more or less determined by looking at who they picked against his personal rankings. You pick a lot of players he ranked high you get a high grade. You pick players he ranked low you get a low grade. Take it for what its worth. But I recall many times the Bills drafts have been rated poor and there'd be lots of protests about 'what do they know'. And looking back most of those drafts were very bad. Last year most said the Bills did well and I think that was correct looking back at last season. So for me personally, if Mel gives us a 'A' for once in my lifetime I'll take it and be happy. Top this off with the Sabres actually winning the draft lottery and we could look back on this weekend as the turning point for Buffalo's major league franchises.

JMF2006 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 When you get 2 top 10 players starting with 12 and 22 then a top 50 with basically a 4th rnd pick you better get an "A" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packerland Bills Fan Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 So many Bills fans are absolutely certain Allen is going to be a bust. He could be another Kyle Boller. He could also be another Brett Favre. No one knows right now. A lot of the negative opinions come because some other "expert" said so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
