You’re in luck.  I happen to control where Bosa gets drafted.  Step into my van

I just want the Bills to have a Josh Allen on the field for every play except special teams. 

Name me one team ever that ever lost anything that had two Josh Allens. You can’t. Because it never happened.

Meh. They literally let a picture of their QB board from last year get onto Twitter. Ben Albright knew for like 4 months that the Bills were all in on Allen. They're not infallible.

 

I missed this!

 

For anyone interested according to the picture rankings were:

1. Allen

2. Darnold

3. Mayfield

4. Rosen

 

Also had a notation of 12, 22, and 53 to denver for #5 and a mark after mayfield that said 5-9 most likely that they would draft those 3 at any of those spots.

 

Pretty interesting tidbit that i missed thanks for mentioning it!

I actually missed out on it last offseason, as well. I didn't learn that it had happened until THIS offseason.

I'm so glad I saw it, though, because it put my curiosity on this issue to bed: Namely, I strongly suspected that Darnold was #1 on the Bills board and they had to "settle" for Josh Allen. Instead, I now know that he was their #1 choice all along. I like knowing that in the famed "Great QB Draft of 2018", the Bills got the player they had ranked 1st all along.

Interesting how most people are taking this tweet and running with the assumption that the trade up is with our 1st pick. Could be they stay at 9 and trade up afterwards. And perhaps Wawrow is enjoying himself watching everyone salivate.

Also I thought I was crazy suggesting Bosa doesn't go 1st...

I thought about this weeks ago. With 10 picks, and a good depth roster, it wouldn't surprise me if we moved up. There is only one ( maybe two)player(s) I'd move up for in this draft..Quinnen Williams. Id make a trade right now with SF or the Jests, and listen to critics for the next 10 years. Other than that, maybe a few spots for Ed Oliver. But I'd damn near sell this year's draft for Q Will.  I'd give up this years 2nd,4th, and 5th. Maybe more. He's that beastly. I look forward to watching that kid play wherever he ends up

Really? THAT sold on Quinnen Williams? Interesting.

The more I see...yes. 

I have a hard time comparing Q Will to ANYBODY...ever.

I absolutely believe Ed Oliver is their guy. And if they have to move up a few spots to get him they will. 

A few spots..if it falls that way, by all means, get your guy. Id be thrilled by that move

Word on the street (i.e., albert breer) is that some teams have oliver pegged significantly higher than the conventional mock draft wisdom.

 

Oliver is without a single shadow of a doubt one of the two best players in this draft. Honestly any team that passes on this kid because he wore a jacket is going to look damn stupid.

I feel the EXACT same way. That can’t even contain their love for him at this point. McDermott almost got trucked trying to tell Ed O how much he loves him.

Out of curiosity, other than the clip of McDermott at the pro day, what else have they done to show their overwhelming interest in Oliver? 

 

I'm a huge Oliver fan, and want him the most in the first, so I'm just asking seriously.

I don't think Oliver will go top 5. He should. But he won't because NFL teams over think this stuff. Put the tape on. Ed Oliver stands out. He is an elite prospect. I think if he gets past #5 the Bills trading up is in play from that point on. #6, #7 or #8 all in play.

Big shout out to @Cripple Creek who had this story before anyone else. I respect @john wawrow and all he does but this is old news. @Cripple Creek has certain sources that, let’s just say, are closely related to OBD. Maybe it would make sense to use the search function before posting this type of redundant material. No offense @john wawrow
