Noooooooooo!

I got a 35 a couple years ago. Just took one at 3am and got a 41. !@#$ you Josh Allen, I get more powerful as time passes!!!!

I finally took a proper look at him yesterday. The difference between game 1 and the bowl game was night and day. If you're giving me Oregon LVE, I might like him over everyone bar Roquan.

You leave bae alone, Kirby!

Oh no. You just sent out the "He's faster than Jordan Matthews" Bat-Signal out to Kirby.

Live look at McBeane:

How poorly this will portray him to some teams is going to cost him a little more than the 3% that the agent would get. Not a clue who is in his ear but I have seen some suggestions of an overbearing mother.

You don't need an agent for a rookie contract but you need someone with connections to guide you effectively.

Rodgers breaks his collarbone Week 1. Kizer steps in and wins a Super Bowl. I take my crumpets with pate, thanks.

Because Sam Darnold has been going #1 ever since he declared.

It is known that I love a man in me.

Whereas Blokes loved Dawkins, Milano and Tre, hated Zay & Peterman. The lesson is; be more like Blokes.

Given his recent history, no wonder Elway wants to draft him

Teams tend not to draft a QB in the first round and stash them, simply because there's no patience in the league any more. I'm firmly of the belief that you should spend more time grooming them but between ownership and fan pressure, they often want to see the shiny new toy, regardless of whether he's ready. In an ideal world, I wouldn't take any of them in the 1st but between the 5th year option and the realities of the draft means that you kinda have to. I know what you're getting at with Goff but I watched 2 years of his throws at Cal. I'm more than happy to attribute most of the blame on Jeff Fisher and his coaching staff. He was 'pro-ready' enough to play Week 1 but they seemed to botch his learning curve. He didn't magically become good again, he just had a more creative coach willing to simplify certain things for him and adjust to his skill set. I guess I'm not clued in enough on Brian Daboll to know if he would be smart enough to provide a similar structure for a rookie to thrive in. I do agree with you that the Bills roster isn't anywhere close to being objectively 'good'. The OL could be an issue, WR is abysmal, LB/DB are one injury from carnage. With so much money being paid for players no longer on the roster, I think we're in for a rough year. If they can secure a QB from this class that they have a plan for, at least it'll buy the Bills some legitimacy when they do have funds to spend.

If I can no longer scout kickers, punters & gunners, I'll need a new hobby!

First name that came to mind when I saw the thread title.

I think he certainly could be but I was thinking more about a player that's a sure thing (I know, they don't actually exist) and can be a valuable asset from Day 1. I love Lamar's potential, I just class myself in the group that really wishes that he'd stayed at Louisville for another year. He's got his flaws to correct and I think if he managed to continue on his upward trajectory, he would've been the front runner for QB1 in the '19 class. The way I think about it, Lamar is in the same bracket as Rudolph & Allen. If he's going to be good, it's probably not until the back end of Year 2 at the very earliest. Because I think they have starting potential in the best case scenario, I'd like to keep my assets and build the roster for them. Smith or Edmunds at LB, McGlinchey/Williams to play RT, I wouldn't even flinch at another pass rusher or corner. I worry less about that if I have one of the 'better' QB prospects because I think they'll elevate those around them a little easier. I hope that answers that, I know it's a bit of a ramble

I think I understand what you're saying. We need 11 backup QB's per roster to cover kicks and we can keep BB on side. I like it.

It's like you live just to cause me pain

I think both Rudolph and Jackson are options but my theory on selecting them gets a little Utopian. I'd want a bona fide difference maker at 12 and then take the QB at 22. I know that if the other 4 guys go really early, it's naive to think that Arizona & Miami would both pass on the only other guys that might have starting potential at some point down the line. I'm not a parrot for the 'trust the process' stuff but they clearly have a plan. You don't make the kind of severe moves that they've made (which in some industries would be considered asset-stripping) without a direction you want to go in. They'd just better hope that it's the correct one.

I'm a big believer in the trio of Rosen, Mayfield & Darnold being the guys that you can feasibly chase up the board. If Baker is still on the board at 6, I'd definitely make the call to Indy. The starting point would be offering 12 & 22. Regardless of which trade value chart you look at, that's already a fair offer. I'd probably throw in 65 if they asked for a little more. That would give Ballard 7 picks within the top 67 selections. I think that's more than enough ammo for him to start reshaping that roster in his image. If I need to add a 2nd rounder to the mix, I'd probably rather it be a future one. I said in another thread that I'd offer 12 and both 2nd round picks for the 6th selection. Throwing in 22 as a desperation measure because #6 is probably where your franchise QB options run dry. QB won't solve everything but it can definitely mask it. They need one from this class.

I think, more than anything, it's the danger that bowl season & CFB playoffs are the first introduction to players for a lot of casual fans. You're probably off work for Christmas, put the game on, get a really small sample size and go from there.

Although I'm not a huge Rudolph guy, I don't hate keeping the capital.

Harold Landry. Love him.

I don't mind speeding it up to a 6-hour process. We got to the last pick in about 4 days including a couple of long delays in the process. I will insist on an amnesty for myself because of the time difference
