He’s like a poor man’s Tavon. I wish I had faith that he’d be utilized for jet sweeps and screens but this feels like a guy that’ll be cut within the next 12 months. Pretty stunned that of all the WRs available, he was even on the radar much less the guy they took. edit: he’s not slow though. He definitely has some speed, but he isn’t a deep threat at all.

I feel like Mayock wouldn’t refer to being gay as embarrassing but perhaps we’ll find out the real story

Obviously the footwork isn’t good, but he rolled out because that’s the way the play was designed.

Feels like there’s more to this story. Hearing that Guice got pantsed when he was in high school is embarrassing...that shouldn’t cause a guy to slide as far as he did.

He’ll be a good backup for whoever their QB of the future is

I think probably every QB that has ever been successful has become quicker mentally as the years went on.

Just based on trying to accentuate Allen's strengths, I think (if Buffalo takes a WR tonight) they could end up targeting Dante Pettis, DaeShawn Hamilton, or James Washington. BR and Cover1 both did a good job of laying out some of the potential targets. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2018/4/24/17270390/2018-nfl-draft-buffalo-bills-pre-draft-visitor-connections-josh-rosen-sam-darnold-baker-mayfield https://www.cover1.net/bills-targets/

Wentz and Allen were basically identical statistically in college. Wentz went to a powerhouse school (relative to their level of play) whereas Allen went to a cellar dweller in the MWC and helped turn that program around. And then both went in the top 10 of the NFL Draft; I'd say they were both pretty successful.

It wouldn't surprise me if he starts week 1, but it's not my expectation either. I do expect him to be starting by the end of the year though.

I for one am shocked to hear that the Bills higher-ups like the player that the Bills traded up for.

That is so great lol

My preferred QB was always Lamar. Allen was #3 on my list but I’ve believed all year that Allen and Darnold were the top 2 on the Bills board just based on what I thought McBeane valued.

This is absolute insanity. Most interesting draft we've had in a long time and I'm probably gonna be stuck following along on Twitter

I entered a mock draft contest at my brother's work so I figured I'd upload that to my website for historical purposes too. https://draftqbs.wordpress.com/2018-mock-draft/

Since he's been talked about so incredibly little, I figured this would be a good place to post this: Story about Luis Perez's amazing journey to the NFL http://www.profootballweekly.com/2018/04/25/from-bowling-star-to-qb-in-five-years-luis-perez-is-the-nfl-drafts-most-unlikely-prospect/a6p505x/

My gut instinct all along has been that the Jets (and Bills for that matter) would be higher on Allen than they were on Mayfield or Rosen. But having said that, I could easily see the sudden rumors of the Jets preferring both Josh's over Darnold as a smokescreen. It accomplishes one of two things: 1. If the Bills want one of the Josh's and the Jets want Darnold, it gets the Bills to sacrifice valuable assets to move up higher than necessary to get their guy. 2. If the Bills want Darnold and the Jets want Darnold, it gets the Bills to think they can safely wait and move up to 4 or 5 instead of 2 and end up allowing the Jets to get their guy instead.

I'm not really a fan of Rosen (relatively speaking), but in the very least, it's good to see how thorough the Bills are being about the whole process.

Because McBeane is smart Because the Jets are dumb

Yeah haha, it's all relative, but I remember there was a website basically dedicated to scoring mock drafts based on getting the team and the pick correct (basically got half credit if you got the slot right but the wrong team or vice versa) and he was #1 last year. I'm familiar with him from when he was a Bucs writer and he was extremely well connected to the team back then. He's well connected around the league at this point despite working for a total douchebag in Walter.

There's nothing wrong IMO with liking QBs of varying skillsets. In fact, I think that's the smartest way to go, especially considering how little is currently set in stone on the offensive side of the ball.

Walter isn't very good but Charlie is very well-connected and had, I believe, the most accurate mock draft of all the media outlets last year.

Published this morning: http://walterfootball.com/nflhotpress I can't directly quote it because the website is blocked on my work computer (I read it on my phone), but to summarize: He's hearing that the Bills are NOT interested in Lamar Jackson, citing the need to build an offense around his skillset as something that Buffalo is not interested in. Buffalo's preference of QBs is: Sam Darnold Josh Allen Josh Rosen Baker Mayfield and they like all four of them. He also says that if they're able to keep #22, they'd be targeting CB, LB, or O-Line, and he specifically mentions Isaiah Oliver, Donte Jackson, and Rashaan Evans as the 3 guys to watch.

I contributed too you know... But seriously, thanks to all the guys OP mentioned for everything they've provided. It's been a fun ride. I mentioned it in another thread last night, but regardless of which QB we all personally want, it seems like it's a pretty safe bet that by the end of the night, Buffalo will have acquired its most physically talented QB that it's had in nearly 20 years. Even if it isn't the one we all personally want, we should all be very excited by the end of the night.

Mayfield on the Bills? Nah. Lamar is the guy I want the most; Rosen the least (of the projected first rounders that is). Edit: I don't consider Rudolph a 1st rounder or he'd be below Rosen easily.

I honestly hope that Rosen is the one the Jets end up with
