Seoulofstone Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Does this upset you? He says Josh Allen should have been drafted ahead of Bradley Chubb. That seems like a compliment to me. With thanks to @FeelingOnYouboty whose handle screams of grammatical precision, for keeping me humble.

JESSEFEFFER Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 The demand for media content continues to surprise me. I remember a time, and it does not seem too long ago, where the daily dose of NFL content was either a Felser or Northrup story in that day's Buffalo News. Those were the days of the TV Guide, The Sporting News and daily newspaper boxscores as important resources for sports fans. Many more folks making a living by generating NFL related content for mass consumption, all year round. But, that's across the board in all news genres. I do not know how newspapers can survive the internet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 He has us taking Lamar Jackson. Puke. Also has Foster going in the first round. Pretty big jump from undrafted to first round. Also has us taking Calvin Ridley. Edmunds drops a few slots but still goes in the first round. After 1 year our QB goes higher, our LB falls but still goes in the first round, and our undrafted WR goes in the first round. Guess we had a good rookie class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thurst44 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 It's waaaaaay too early for this, but this does make us look good as both our 1st round picks are still 1st round (one higher, one lower) as is one of our UDFAs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They chose to ignore the fact that QB's are 100 times more important than RB's, and they would do it again. The only thing that should change a decision like that is if Darnold, Allen, Rosen, or Jackson had an amazing year OR if Barkley didn't do well.

Darnold showed flashes of very good QB play on a very bad team, and Eli proved that his arm is dead AND he’s playing on a very bad team. As silly as the notion of a “hindsight re-draft” might be, I think the Giants would reconsider their choice if given the opportunity. Hell, they might even take Allen over Barkley if allowed a do-over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The articles telling everyone who screwed up, who sucks, who will be a stud, etc all before they step on the field. Like this one on just the QB's...lol what a crock of crap. Baker was ranked 6th of all the QB's hahahaha.

I think the Giants are dumb enough to still take Barkley in a do over. But coming out of last year, there is a lot more buzz about Allen and his future than Darnold. In fact, while Darnold did fine for a rookie (should say about as expected), he didn't really do anything to give anyone any more security in his future. He displayed all the same traits that were the red flags coming into the draft. Allen on the other hand, not only exceeded expectations, but made very significant strides over the course of the season while also putting many WOW moments on tape. Neither is a lock for anything right now, but I just think there is a little more excitement around Allen given his ceiling is about as how as any player could have and showed quite a bit of growth in a short period of time. Last year, it was split on who should be ranked higher...Darnold or Allen, and most likely the split would favor Darnold. In a redraft, I bet NFL GM's would still be split, however I think the split would swing to the other side and favor Allen after the 2018 season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen has to figure out the easy throws - and just generally get better about taking what teams give him. His pocket awareness improved a lot as the season went along, and he seemed to be making more good throws. He just needs to get those easy throws to shady/zay out with better timing and to the right spot. Darnold showed some improvement in similar areas, but it was less drastic. Allen was getting killed back there before the injury and was much better after. Darnold was better from the start in the pocket so the improvement won't be as huge. He had some nice games and some not so nice - but i thought he looked the part against Buffalo and he only had 170 1/1. Both should anticipate having pretty big years this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I agree with all this. That’s why I think it would still be split on Allen or Darnold on a redraft, but I just suspect Allen turned more heads more often and may nudge his way into more favoring him now as opposed to predeaft it was most likely more would have favored Darnold.

If somebody thinks ye's a fair value for a QB needy team at #5, I guess I can feel pretty good that my Bills got him where they did, and didn't have to settle for Lamar Jackson, who went much later in the actual draft. I feel real good that the receiver Buffalo signed as a UDFA is a first round pick in the redo. Talke about a bargain signing. . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tailgate with about 20 die-hard Bills fans that would think it was batsh*t crazy that someone had over 6,000 posts on a Bills fan site. What is that accomplishing? Amirite? The level of one's investments in their hobby is vary greatly. Some of us follow COLLEGE recruiting.........years prior to those players being draft eligible..........it's all about how much you want to know about your hobby. It is absolutely amazing the appetite for draft info. The NFL network could do a two hour mock drafts EVERY night for a month prior to the draft and get higher ratings than NBA playoff games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
