Would love Smith. While I have no confidence he will ultimately be a starter in the league, I am not nearly as done with Peterman as the popular press seems to be. Like McCarron he is a worker and competitor. I think Beane and McDermott like him. And his catastrophic NFL start was a lot like his collegiate start, which he overcame. Agree we need to draft a QB with talent, but don't dislike McCarron and Peterman. Would be fun to get Smith if they really like someone like Rudolph, Luletta or White (and are not just settling)!

I have it on what I consider pretty good authority that Jets very much like Rosen so I don't believe he is off their board. I posted this once before and a poster said "no you don't." Er, okay, believe what you will. I stand by my comment that they like him. I have no scoop on Jets view of Mayfield and my Jets fans friends insist they love him. If they like both Mayfield and Rosen a great deal it explains why they were comfortable going to three far in advance (likely presuming/knowing Darnold or Allen are #1). And I have no idea whether they like Rosen or Mayfield more. I hope they like Rosen -- my wish for the Bills is Allen and I don't want Rosen one bit. Having said that the Rosen vs. Allen debate is greatly polarizing our fine board. Can we settle on hoping for Baker at #5 or 6? I have not heard much Mayfield hate. I would be delighted and willing to let go of my largely unfounded passion for Allen.

Would make me distraught. My bet - 3 years and out of the league. I suspect he can't and won't take the pounding. He will be accurate on the tennis court. Time will tell. You know no better than I do whether this will happen. And I am not rooting for it to happen to the kid, but I hope we don't take him. Rosen scares me the most of any quarterback we might consider.

I don't know - what made the hatters mad?

Funny - bunch of us going to be unhappy no matter what. Rosen would make me SO SAD!

Rudolph has excellent hair. Richie would give Rosen a swirly just for fun. Rosen is a girly-man with excellent passing mechanics. Pass!

Allen is the man, no reason for worried face - save that for if they be thinking hot tub boy.

Ground up - hello, Mr. Gettelman? Whatever your heart desires my friend!

Agreed. Same with Rosen, Mayfield, Darnold and all the others. As far as trusting the process.

Go get us some Carson Allen. Josh Wentz in the house! Man among boys at Senior Bowl in 2nd half. The answer to all our dreams. Get 'er done!

Go Allen, it's your birthday, go Allen! Freezer time.

All-en! All-en! All-en! C'mon Brandon!

There we go - bring in the gunslinger. Forget the other Josh PLEASE!

Smerlas once said when they were chasing Kenny O'Brien of the Jets outside the pocket he would literally squeal, and then eat the ball and take the sack to protect his always-high completion percentage. Not sure why, maybe because Mommy drove his hot tub to him, but Rosen strikes me as equally squeal worthy. I fear, however, that instead of taking sacks like O'Brien he will start chucking it up for INTs. And when he is criticized for INTs he blames others and also starts holding it longer and until he repeatedly gets his head driven into the ground. Thrice concussed he then calls it quits in his third year and goes for an MBA to go with his economics degree. Just one person's nightmare, but NO THANKS. Gimme anybody else PLEASE. I highly, highly doubt he is our guy, but if he is I will support him whole-heartedly and pray! I fear bad things with him . . . . please become a JET! If Rosen slides there will be a reason he slid.

Miami = Robert Woods

Prediction of the unexpected: Reilly earns very meaningful time this year. I think he performs well.

I have a lot of friends in Cinci and most really liked AJ. Several wanted him ahead of Dalton, several did not. He is a really guy at worst IMHO. *Real guy - as in legit NFL QB. Typo.

Ouch.

Mike White too - if Bills really like him I would be okay with that, but I think board would explode. I feel he is punished for having a bland name and being from a small school. Love Michel too - and Guice would be great! But a 1st would likely upset board, I think most of us would be okay with them in 2nd.

Would be nice if Thomas emerged. He has had enough time now to know the position. I like his 1 year. Agree with you on Clay - though I think he has been a good Bill, done his best, produced if not up to contract (likely due to knee). Like Clay a lot, but too expensive.

Allen & Rudolph.

If we do draft Rosen (please no), I hope Richie stays retired. I can see him giving him a swirly like every day.

Anybody else think we maybe should have locked up O'Leary for 2-3 years? Seems he is coming into his own.

Kind of agree here - the conversation I had presumed Darnold gone at #1. And like I said, nature of conversation I had was Jets mgt thinks Rosen would be a good fit, would play well with NY fans etc. Not suggesting they actually suggested to my pal (or that they would tell anyone), who they are drafting. Also, this is not connected to team - but a bunch of really focused Giants fans believe they like Darnold. I have been thinking "maybe we can get to 2, but only if Darnold is not there." Cleveland not helping by not revealing who they want.

Would be cool if Bills were genuinely (and ultimately correctly) in love with someone that is not one of the big 4 as I suspect they will all be over-drafted. If McDermott and Beane really liked someone like Rudolph or Luletta best it could be good for us. We get our QB and don't set our picks on fire. For the first time perhaps ever (Chuck Knox and Lou Saban being the possible exceptions), I believe in our mgt. If they think they have to trade the picks I trust them there too. Clearly they are focused on getting a QB they believe in and I trust them.
