Coach Tuesday

We will see. It's a good pick in the sense that they didn't spend a blue chip asset on him and his strength (throwing downfield) matches up well with their offense. But his physical skillset is much closer to Tommy Maddox than Big Ben, and reading defenses is not something he's proven he can do.

Correct. If he tries to make throws like that in the NFL, he'll have a very short career - back-footed heaves downfield are a recipe for destruction, no matter how strong of an arm you have. This is why it's so dangerous to draft based upon measurables - guys like Allen often end up relying solely on their arm talent to bail them out of trouble and ignore fundamentals like footwork and play design, and that's why they flame out. Allen might make it - but to me, the odds are stacked against him and I didn't (and still don't) feel that the Bills should be in the risk-taking game at the QB position.

Looks like the Jets got a good player as well.

They need to build an offense around him ASAP. Need a burner who can take the top off the defense, and a bunch of tall WRs and TEs with good hands and big catch radii. Benjamin is a decent start but where are they gonna find the rest of those parts?

I'd say CBS is NOT killing it...

Where are the Rudolph zombies now? Those people were the worst...

This team has no players

And they stole the Cowboys’ pick, who is named Dallas and would’ve replaced Witten. Good for them.

Then again he is already leading the league in jersey sales and I suspect Beckham is top five. They have various incentives...

Another one of those "who are you to question these wise personnel men" posts - great.

The Bills remain steadfast in their refusal to adopt a modern passing offense. The best we can hope for is that the continued evolution of the college game rewards mobile, improvisational QBs, because that's what the Bills are interested in.

But that is not the point. His value-over-replacement is not high enough to justify the assets they effectively "traded" in lost opportunity costs.

Exactly.

Buddy Nix 2.0

Welcome. However, before we allow new posters to express opinions about current scenarios, they must first set forth their positions on the Flutie v. Johnson debate, whether Ralph meddled, the true role of Russ Brandon, and whether prior regimes can be faulted for failing to get Sammy Watkins into space.

I have been saying this for awhile - their pro and college personnel evaluations of offensive players are very concerning - to say the jury’s still out is putting it kindly.

Might be able to package him with a lower pick for a second. MAYBE. But I’d do it - dude is basically a human paperweight.

Book is still wide open, son.

Fake fan! Get behind all of their draft day moves, despite whether you’ve been railing against those same players for the past three months, or find a new team to root for.

I don’t believe you.

Because that’s what REAL FANS DO. They give their team the benefit of the doubt no matter how many times that team proves, unequivocally and in spectacularly awful fashion, that it does not deserve the benefit of anyone’s doubts. Don’t agree? Get off the bus you fake fan.

Not cool, starting a thread about a draft pick’s face...

Intelligence and processing speed are two different things. I'm sure he's a very smart cat. Can his brain work more quickly to process information and translate it to his body? That's a really hard thing to improve.

Actually the question is how much rope will this coaching staff get? Because once they change coaching staffs and schemes, all of these picks are on borrowed time.

Good stuff here.
