WRs flying off the board. Hoping Gallup is available when we pick. I'm sure Miller will be gone by then.

Maybe they meant which “non playoff” team got the best QB prospect in the draft. This factor would obviously exclude the Bills.

Not saying Allen can’t start but that wouldn’t be ideal, would it? He’ll need seasoning and I don’t expect him to see the field immediately. I totally expect a step back this season and that’s ok with me. McCarron wasn’t anointed the starter, that’s true. But at this moment where do you think he sits on the depth chart?

Welcome. Solid first post. Pretty much agree with everything you’ve said. I was also hoping for Rosen but as fans we have to acknowledge that McBeane had their choice of either Josh and they chose Allen. I’m not a scout and admit don’t know much about Allen other than he has a canon arm. He’s the one they picked for reasons at this point they are only privy to. I’m assuming their following the Carolina model they had with Cam and Luke ( in Edmunds case). Maybe they didn’t like Rosen’s elitus attitude and thought he’d be tougher to develop and coach. Allen will have a chance to develop and work on the craft, he strikes me as a hard worker. Maybe one day be the face of the franchise for the next 15 years.

Now I know why they say Re-read before you hit send or submit.

Drought Busters! Nuff said! and yes, I remember how they made it and I don’t care........

BS. No one will no that for another 3-5 years. If he was "clearly superior" it would have been him chosen at 7.

Edmunds is a freak of nature. 4.54 speed on someone that big is crazy. If you look at his highlight reel not only is he a technically solid tackler but he makes more arm tackles than anyone I've seen. He literally rips ball carriers down with his arms when he doesn't square them up and has to extend. Whether this translates to the pro game is yet to be seen but man can this kid go side to sideline like Seau used to.

Dilfer really likes this kid. Here's another good vid https://saturdayblitz.com/2018/04/26/nfl-draft-2018-buffalo-bills-select-josh-allen/

That's nonsense. He may need some seasoning with certain mechanics but he's not that raw a prospect. He was Top 3 in mostly everyone's charts.

I think many are forgetting that at this moment AJ McCarron is the starting QB and hopefully this regime doesn't rush Allens development like Whaley and Co. did with EJ. Allen is a project with tremendous upside. Like Mahomes he will have the opportunity to sit, learn and develop. Hone his skills so when he does see action he's not overwhelmed.

What has this front office done to date that has your panties in a bunch? Getting rid of the dead weight of previous regimes? Drafting immediate starters like White, Dawkins, and Milano? Acquiring draft capital to secure future franchise blue chip talent? Infusing a winning attitude and culture that was sorely lacking? Clearing cap space that will lead to quality FA signings next season? Making the playoffs for the first time in 17 years as a rookie coach and GM? You're right! If they keep throwing me this crap not only will I accept it but I'll gladly smell it all day long. FTR, I wanted Rosen as well. But I'm leaving the judging of talent to those paid well to do so and I trust their instincts. They've done ok so far.

I guess you're right. Playing in a tropical paradise like Denver for Elway, Boston for Brady or Green Bay for Rodgers can't compare to the harsh weather Buffalo has.

Last time I heard the Bills use the " IT" factor Whaley and Nix were running the show and EJ Manuel was walking up to the podium. Nuff said!

They're afraid the Browns take Allen instead of Darnold. And if the Browns take Allen with the Bills already having secured #2 they'll lose their minds since he's the only QB they'll consider at 2. They want to make sure if they part with 2 it's for a Kings ransom. I'd hold off if I were Beane and if the Browns take Darnold the price drops to 12, 22 and a second. Can't lose next years 1st just to jump 10 spots when you're already giving up 2 of them.

I believe this to be true as well. I think they would prefer Darnold but he seems unattainable with everyone believing he goes #1 or #2 to the Giants if they hold their position.

Yeah,..... but did you "start" one?

Waking up in the morning trying to figure out how to kick her to the curb while she's asking you, "what's for breakfast"?

Bills gave him the opportunity to rejuvenate and continue his career when others disregarded and black balled him. Made him a millionaire a few times over for his effort. #twowaystreet

Do the Giants need a guard?

Not really. Some of those girls needed a lot of makeup.

Considering all the departures through FA and retirement it would be a wise move, but not for a first. OL is on life support. Our LB and WR corps are mediocre at best with Zay possibly getting suspended. Keeping our top picks and going into the season with Foles/ McCarron/ Peterson isn't horrible. Heck, it'd be our best QB line up in 20 years.

That's the spirit!

Not saying White can't be a good QB or otherwise. All I'm saying is can you imagine the backlash if Goodell on draft day said, " with the 12th (or 22nd) pick of the NFL draft the Buffalo Bills pick Mike White? The horror!!!
