BillsFan4 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Yolo - I don't know if it's true but I heard/read that it was down to either Mayfield or Allen for the Browns at #1. Mayfield seems to feel that it was down to he or Allen for the Browns, too. Edited May 17, 2018 by BillsFan4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rosen was as smart as he claims to be, he would realize 29 teams didn't want him. Once he fell to 10, every other team was in play in terms of trade with the exception of the Rams and KC. A first and next years first, or the Pats could have thrown #23 and #31. It was the Cardinals that begrudgingly made the move to get the ugly girl at the bar, and paid ZERO premium in the trade they made with Oakland. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan17 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 There was plenty of chatter around Allen first overall. Some even feeling that Mayfield was really thrust apon the franchise by McCloughan, who was said to have a lot of influence. Otherwise Allen was the favorite among the front office. Other rumours that there was some disconnect from the coaching staff and the FO on who they really wanted, but that's the fun of the draft, we never really know the whole truth.

BB@Shooter Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 The Wyoming AD office said that the Jets scouts spent the most time in Laramie during the season than anyone else by a large margin. So I though it was a smoke screen when all the analysts were saying the Jets wanted Mayfield. Then the Jets take Darnold over Allen. I wasn't sure where Allen should have gone. I just wanted him to go to a team where he wouldn't get killed and maybe get a chance to sit and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tumaro02 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 In reality there were only two QBs who met the "Bills DNA" and "Culture fit" that Beane and McDermott have been saying since Day 1 and that was Allen or Darnold. Anyone who was a Rosen fan just wasn't listening to what the Bills brain trust have been saying all along and were out of step with their thinking.
