Coming out of Iowa, Adrian Clayborn fell down to the bottom of the first round because he was born with a short arm which made teams concerned he could only rush from one side of the line. He certainly never became a star. And JPP blew off some of his fingers too but has been about the same productivity. Griffin has a far bigger handicap - and isn’t a Dlineman, I’d expect him to be no better than a 6th rounder due to it but probably an UDFA who will need to prove it doesn’t stop him in practice and preseason. Root for the kid, but def understand teams sliding him down their boards.

He will drop because of it, unfortunately. It really hasn’t stoppes him yet tho. Personally, hope he goes to Seattle to be with his bro since they are so close. But would def be a big fan if he was a Bill.

We are a playoff caliber team this year and it opens us up to go a lot of ways this draft. Think how good we can be collecting talent and not pressing to find the savior of our franchise. We can build up the O and Dline and LB positions and still take a QB that slides in the first or second. I would be stoked for Allen falling to us, though I doubt it. Mayfield would fit in our range too. Then we can sit them behind Tyrod for at least another year and let our revamped lines take this playoff team to the next level next year!

This is a great QB class and if Darnold comes out it will get even better. Remember that no QB coming out of college is wartless. Though it seems that fans forget that every year. 1. Darnold is super young and only real weakness is “poor decision making” like all the picks that Watson threw last year that caused people to question his decision making. 2. Rosen is a natural QB that will step in immediately and be awesome. Concerns about his body type and love of the game are there but the talent is undeniable. 3.Josh Allen carried a Wyoming team to back to back winning seasons but had a low completion percentage out of a pro style, vertical passing attack in college. He is Phillip Rivers personality with a great arm. Question his decision making and accuracy if you want but don’t forget the talent he played with in college was really bad, like one of the worst in D1 bad. 4. Lamar Jackson is ultra athletic but also still learning to be a QB. Can you teach an athlete to play QB? Can he be Michael Vick in a league that is a little more free with letting QBs be more off script than when MV played? 5. Baker Mayfield is a Heisman winning, average Joe. Average athlete but slippery, average height that could affect him when throwing lanes aren’t as wide open as the ones he got in Oklahoma but which didn’t stop him yet. Ultra competitive and a winner who has the chance to knock off 3 of the top 5 programs in college football this year (Ohio State, Georgia, the winner of the other CFP game). Does being a winner with average physical abilities translate to winning - we will see. This is a class with a wide array of positives and negatives. At least 4 will probably go in the first round and should based on their skill and college resume. Fans are always hypercritical if the QB position that we overanalyze to death and don’t realize that just about every year there is a chance to find a great QB.

To each his own, my friend. I would be so happy getting Allen. But Darnold, I just have no doubts about at all. I think he is a slam dunk physically/mentally and another kid that just fits in Buffalo. His dad is a plumber - albeit for medical gases. A big armed, stocky kid of a plumber is the type of QB that fits in Buffalo imo. Allen could be Big Ben, Darnold will be what Andrew Luck has been (minus the injuries), IMO. When I’m more rested I’ll break down Darnold more.

He is not Jim Kelly but Josh Allen is great. Wyoming has consistently been one of the bottom feeders of Div 1 football. All the sudden, last year they exploded from last place in the Mountain West to first, unseating perennial powerhouse Boise State...The reason was Craig Bohl starting to right the program, but mostly Josh Allen. This season, Allen struggled after losing 5 offensive starters to the NFL. He probably was the only player who would play on Iowa or Oregon if you transposed Wyoming’s players to those teams’ rosters. Yet, he still won 8 games this year and Wyoming went 0-2 when he was out with an injury including a loss to maybe the worst D1 team this year, San Jose State. People are worried about his stats because they don’t look great. However, Bohl runs a pro style system with a lot of down field, difficult throws. These aren’t stat inflating bubble screens he is attempting like Osweiler used to throw at ASU and it also doesn’t help when your playmakers drop passes. Allen isn’t totally blameless in this season. He does throw bad balls and interceptions, he is not always great feeling pressure, sometimes he looks overmatched. But here are the positives: 1. The best, strongest arm I have ever seen. 2. Takes snaps from center and plays in a pro-style system that produced Carson Wentz. 3. Fiery and competitive - not Baker Mayfield but more like a tempered Phillip Rivers 4. Very used to playing in cold weather 5. Great throwing on the run with bootlegs just like the system Dennison likes to run. To wrap up, I like Darnold better. However, Allen would be a great choice for Buffalo - even early in the first round. He can be a franchise QB.

I just read an article saying that the Bills are 3-1 this year when McCoy rushes for 100 yards. Additionally the Pats are 2-2 this year when they give up a 100 yard rusher. I think it is pretty apparent what we need to do is use different formations and packages to make sure that McCoy gets to that number. Belichick will be trying to take that away so if we get there we will have imposed our will. Hoping to see a lot of unbalanced lines, heavy formations and creativity with McCoy, Taylor and even Joe Webb’s running ability. Like it has been said, this is our season so it is time to pull out all the stops.

Cam gets a lot of hate. He is a great player and one of the most fun to watch in the NFL. Not your traditional QB but man is he successful as part of that team. and that pre snap jawing was hilarious

Building block

Chargers play chiefs next week, we want them to win that game but just in case, it’s good they lose this week

what a fun win! That’s a game that makes you miss Buffalo when you’ve moved away. Go Bills!

RB and CB....can never have too many in today’s NFL

Darnold has that big arm and fat-boy face that makes him look like Stafford to me. Root for the Giants to win some games, and the Browns to take Rosen (also from that article). If that happens, bills need to throw every draft pick we need to at the 49ers/Colts for that 2nd overall.

If they did any more than 1 game, he wouldn’t be available for the big game against the Steelers on national TV. The NFL will always be about the bottom line over everything else, which is why they keep fing up

Nice effort put into this post. Let’s hope that SF doesn’t Win anymore games so that we can sneak into that 2nd overall pick

Big, dumb animal

I admire the optimism, unfortunately I think you are really really wrong. Cheers!

just hit him the same way next game...or Brady. Better be one of our more scrubby players doing it because they’ll definitley be suspended.

Get better soon Tyrod. I’m still hoping we wander into a playoff spot and I think you’re better than Peterman right now. then if the bills want to trade you next offseason for picks, I’m ok with that too.

It’s amazing to me how many people complain about Tyrod not being decisive enough and then want Mayfield who also takes 3 seconds before each throw he makes. He is a small dude on an amazing team that plays in a conference known for terrible defense. I’ll pass. Either trade up for Rosen or take O and Dlineman with our first few picks and grab Clayton Thorson in round 2 or 3. We need to get much better on the line...

Break Gronk that piece of garbage. And screw you refs.

They may have put them in. I really don’t have an allegiance to any college football team so Bama getting in doesn’t do much for me either way. Problem I have is that you have a panel of people selecting teams for the playoff and half of them have ties to the SEC. doesn’t seem fair to me.

Need to go back to the BCS computer rather than this SEC-biased selection committee.

He went from overrated to underrated. His team is very bad around him this year but he did very well last year when he had some decent players. His arm and mobility are great, but he is a guy that will need some time to get better before being able to play. I don’t think he is Carson Wentz, but he may be Joe Flacco. He has the arm and size to play in Buffalo if we decide to wait and draft a QB without trading up.

Take all of the stops off of Tyrod as a runner. Do everything you can to be a good run blocking team for Tyrod and Shady this week. Throwing doesn’t matter, the Pats are ok at stopping the pass. Run at Gilmore each play, etc. Then just let the defense play fast, don’t overscheme. Brady will get his yards, but if we can stop the run and tackle well we will have a fighting chance. But the cheats will probably win
