http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000928583/article/mike-mayocks-2018-nfl-mock-draft-bills-trade-up-for-josh-allen Mayock’s was pretty damn close across the board. Might not always get the team right but but he was super accurate in the range the player went. Ward was the curveball last year in the top 5.

There’s no way they trade him, right? I mean that would be nuts. You’d have to give me at least your 3 first rounders and 2 second rounders the next 2 years. And I’d have to love a QB in this draft and have a deal in place with Arizona for the #1 pick. I not sure even that’s enough for a 30 year old Russell Wilson.

I’d be careful writing Gary off. Seemed to be weirdly used by Harbaugh who seems to be losing his mind lately. He looked pretty dominant at times in 2017. Guy was the consensus #1 recruit out of high school, and might be a guy who is a better pro than college player. He has All Pro potential. It couldn’t have been easy playing for a crazy coach like Harbaugh especially when Gary knew he’d be a high 1st round pick as soon as he put in his 3 years.

This might be Gettelman’s dumbest attempt yet to pretend he isn’t taking a QB at 6.

I can buy this more than trading up 2-3 spots for a guy 6 teams already passed on. Good chance that guy falls to you at 9. If they think Williams is the best player in the draft and Arizona takes the QB, and the 49ers and Jets take pass rushers because they’ve drafted top 5 DT’s the past couple drafts and Bosa/Allen are elite pass rushers. Raiders might be willing to trade down.

Cant see it. If you like a QB, you don’t get cute for an extra 3rd rounder and risk somebody coming up and grabbing him. If Oliver is available at 6, there’s a good shot he’s available at 9. Jax is taking Hockenson or O-Line. Detroit pick could go a bunch of different ways.

Sounds like Smerlas and Haslett. Those 2 were clowns. Their radio show was comedy gold and I don’t think they even it meant it to be. They were just buffoons. I know Haslett broke his leg in the preseason but he was still around the team.

Hard to criticize him. That’s life changing money. Not sure why UB didn’t insist on a higher buyout though in the contract extension. They took a pretty big chance on him when they gave him the job to replace Hurley. Alabama job had to be in the works for a couple weeks. Alabama athletic department is swimming in money. They would’ve paid a lot more than $750k to buy Oats out.

This is one big dance with Arizona pretending they don’t want to trade him and a team like the Giants pretending they don’t want him. I think he goes for the Giants high 2nd rounder.

I think the dome becomes a negotiating point between Pegula and the government. Retractable dome probably doubles the cost. Pegula says we don’t need dome for football. Government pays for if it wants it to hold non-football events.

I think Frank Clark will be a Bill by the end of the draft. Seattle has to pay Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner who will both get mega deals. Makes sense for them to flip Clark for a cheaper draft pick in a draft heavy on elite pass rushers. Bills have the cap space plus Hughes and Lawson are free agents next year. Swap of 1sts and Seattle takes Sweat/Gary/Burns at 9. Bills take BPA Wilkins/Simmons/Metcalf/Hockenson/Fant/Jonah/Taylor/Dillard/Ford at 21.

Ha. Hard to contain himself at a Melissa Etheridge concert.

Lock was much more productive against way better competition than Josh Allen was in college.

Well let’s just hope he doesn’t become NFL MVP by year 2 like Mahomes.

I thought I read that he had a heart condition at some point in last few years. Maybe he didn’t want to be 300lbs anymore. Can’t be good for the heart to be that heavy.

This is more a commentary on how little there is at Tight End in front of him on Bills depth chart that he would sign here. Worth the shot from Bills perspective.

Please stop putting Burns and Maybin in the same sentence. The fact that Burns can move like that after putting on the required weight is what separates him from guys like Maybin. And he’s had solid production for over 2 years. I’d have no problem taking him at 9.

Murray goes 1. If Giants trade for Rosen, chance there could be bidding war for Haskins at #9 before the Broncos pick. Can’t imagine Elway passing on Haskins. I could see Raiders coming up to pick 9 if Haskins is still there.

Maybe the guy had a family situation that made him pick Houston, but I’m weary of guys who were 5 star recruits out of high school and don’t challenge themselves against the best competition.

Doesn’t help that nobody knows how old he is.

Only so many guys have the physical tools. Less have the required ability to process info quickly while 260-300lb dudes are coming after you. And even less have the leadership the position requires. It is probably the hardest position to play in any sport.

Can’t see the Giants trying to tank with Eli on roster. If that was the plan, I’m sure Eli would’ve retired. Doesn’t mean they won’t stink but probably not #1 pick overall stink. Trading for Rosen makes so much sense for them. They can probably get him for pick 37 and it doesn’t preclude them from taking a QB next year.

This is getting fun now. Raiders going back to their roots.

Burns is a tantalizing prospect. Not sure he has the size to hold up, but if he does he could be an All Pro. He’s also only 20 years old.

I do like that he comes from a family of NFL players. There’s gotta be some football instincts in there to go with immense physical talent. Beasley and Brown are good upgrades but it’d be nice to give Josh a ‘Dude’ to throw to.
