QB, LB, then nothing but OL. That's my vote, in order, for the entire draft. Just stock up on beef castles.

I think they trade out of it. Gettleman's long tangent on depth the other day seemed like he was more than open to trading back. If I were them I'd take Rosen, assuming Darnold is gone. I'd trade back or take Chubb I guess.

I think Barkley slides.

What if we miss out on Darnold, Rosen and Mayfield, you ask?

I mean, heck, at least contribute something in the original post.

I go back and forth. Honestly can't decide. But at this point I do have them a tier above the rest of the prospects. Boy, if we come away with either I may just cry tears of joy.

They are all gambles, regardless of position.

Oof. I've long thought it'll take three 1sts but I hadn't heard that we'd offered them.

It's an interesting counterfactual. I will say that I've watched a ton of his tape over the past month and I get it - he is a hell of a prospect and has elite pocket presence. I actually think that he would be a highly regarded prospect regardless of USC. Don't forget he'd have better stats in those conferences as well. I would be over the moon if we got him.

All these Allen predictions have me thoroughly shook...and unfortunately I've become more and more convinced that Darnold and Rosen really are a step above. I have no idea how the draft will shake out. I'm pessimistic, naturally. Tier 1: Darnold/Rosen Tier 2: Mayfield Tier 3: Allen/Jackson Tier 4: Everyone else

You're not sure? Heck, most Bills QBs in the past 20 years have been worse. It's quite possible. FWIW, I loved the Tyrod to Browns trade and am happy we're trying to upgrade.

Over/under: two preseason series before there are at least 5 threads where the OP is 'concerned'

Yup. Problem is a trade partner might positively insist on next year's 1 for the same reasons.

Early on in the process, I didn't know what to think about Darnold. Rosen is more polished as a passer, and so I gravitated toward him. The more you watch Darnold, though, the more you get it. He reminds me of Roethlisberger. Great pocket presence, ability to make steps here and there to avoid the rush. Definitely got moxie. I think he'll pan out. Right now I have 4 tiers: Darnold/Rosen Mayfield Allen/Jackson (way down yonder on the Chattahoochee) Everyone else

If we take Allen over Rosen...oof.

I'm just steamed that no one reacted to my aaron maybin/quick first step comment. I gave you gold, folks. Gold.

This is going to be a long seven days.

This is what I'm thinking about as well. Those effing cell phone shots.

Plug and play QB. One more week. Please let us get this kid.

So many moving pieces. The closer we get, the more I worry that the Giants will trade back with the Browns. I'm locked in on Darnold, Rosen and Mayfield, and as a true Bills fan, my defensive pessimism is on the rise as the draft approaches.

It's all about the quick first step. You just can't teach that.

Very very well done. Still chuckling.

I like Lauletta, but this is the year to chase one of the two/three blue chip prospects.

Seattle has markedly better weather imo. My favorite city in the US to be honest.

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
