It's either that or Defcon 1 at OBD now.

Well, I would love to get Roquan Smith, but I think your priorities are skewed. Unless, of course, they are not dialed in on one or two of the top qbs specifically. Qb trumps lb, so I would settle for second tier lb before I settle for second tier qb.

Why not? You likely aren't using both second round picks to move up.

There is good rb depth in this draft. Don't understand the fixation with thirty year old running backs. I was kind of hoping Rashaad Penny would fall far enough for us to nab him. Overall, I like the moves. You can't fill all the holes in one off-season. Seems to me RT, LB, WR should be prioritized after QB is addressed.

Well, I can't really argue the validity of an implicit message. In terms of your overall view of Buffalo and Allen, I think we are in agreement.

I think this is the correct set of questions. For those who simply dismiss Allen, both Mayock and Daniel Jeremiah have him rated the number two qb prospect in the draft. I also seem to recall Jeremiah saying that he values accuracy over arm strength, so I don't think he is just blindly going by Allen's ridiculous arm strength. Regardless, my view is that Allen is a low floor, high ceiling fella. I would much prefer someone with a higher floor. For certain, if you don't have the right support in place and patience, Josh Allen will bust. I just don't see Buffalo as set up to nurture this guy properly. If they draft him, I will hope and pray I am wrong.

You'd likely have to trade the 2019 1st, which I don''t to do, along with 12, a second rounder, and 65 to maybe get the Giants to bite. Assuming the Browns go Saquon at #1, Darnold is available. I'm a big UGA fan, so I've been paying attention to Dawg players. There's a rumor that Roquan was medically red-flagged at the combine. He might fall to 22. That's how it would be possible, at least.

The fact that no one has tied Darnold to Buffalo is actually starting to make me think he might be a target.

I like Sam Bradford, but I don't trust Mr. Glass to play a few games without getting hurt, let alone a couple of seasons. And I think there is likely going to be a run on qb. Unless you have the top four or five ranked pretty equally, you move up and get your guy. The trades in and off season suggest we have one or two fellas in mind. I think they are aiming for pick 2 or 3 and there is no reason to think they can't get it done with the ammo in hand.

Pure speculation by that Albright fella that we might be interested in Josh Allen. I don't think it's connected to any inside info on what OBD is thinking.

Yeah, he missed it. But, you know, OP thought it necessary to speculate that we might be using 12 & 22 to move up.

I think he may be very good in a limited role. Clearly, leadership is important to the mix with this regime and Kyle has it in spades. Class move and I'm very glad he's back. Now go get the qb.

I didn't really like the Chris Ivory signing. Better than Tolbert, but why aren't we bringing in younger, cheaper rbs? This signing, as well, seems to be a fella whose numbers have declined. However, I think you have to give McDermott the benefit of the doubt on this one. He knows the player and scheme fit. Player effectiveness doesn't always translate into flashy numbers. For certain, we needed to bring in DT help. The front seven in general needs an infusion of talent.

I can't see a team that traded Dareus to get rid of a bad locker room presence going after Suh.

Seems to me highly unlikely they are making these trades for a lb. They are going after qb. There is a rumor that Smith was medically red-flagged at the combine and could fall. You might be able to get him at 22. Perhaps I should clarify: 22 will be gone in a trade up, but if we wanted Smith, we might not have had to make moves in order to trade up to get him.

You can take Rudolph in the second round, maybe the third. Mayfield is my first choice, so I hope that part of your argument is correct.

I like Mayfield. Rosen is my second choice. Somewhat concerned about the injuries and Mayock says he lacks pocket awareness. Regardless, I like the trade, but there better be a plan that brings in a solid RT and interior Oline depth. Sure hope Billy Price drops to the second round.

Other than Cousins, I can't see any qb coming in as a presumed long-term answer (and I am tepid on Cousins and he isn't coming here in any event.) Personally, I like McCarron as a bridge guy, but Keenum is acceptable. I don't think he is likely to break in a game or two like poor Sam Bradford. Like you, I highly doubt any of these fellas preclude trading up for a top QB prospect. Trading Tyrod pretty much meant there was some plan to bring in a vet. I'd be surprised and disappointed if we don't also make a move for a top qb in the draft.

Just because they all have perceived issues does not mean they are therefore equal. Individual teams will evaluate strengths and weaknesses according to their own criteria and judgment, as well as particular fit for the team they are trying to build. I surmise OBD favors one or two above the rest. If they don't or have weak preferences, then there is no incentive to trade up (at least not significantly.) I suspect, however, that they really like one or two fellas and will rightly pay the cost to get a potential franchise qb.

Trading up for Mayfield or Rosen. Foles without the Eagles' coaching staff has been JAG. Joe Flacco had one hot playoff run to a SB and then has been nothing much. I'm not at all sold on Foles. I'd rather get into the bidding for Cousins than trade for Foles, but what we ought to do is option #1 listed above.

Mocks are generally a waste of time, especially when trades are preemptively ruled out. With the number of teams needing qbs, I think when it really counts, four will go early. I also think there's a lot of smoke about Rosen. I prefer Mayfield, but I think Rosen ends up going top ten.

And yet one of the big question marks about Rosen appears to be durability. Mayock kept mentioning pocket awareness as something Rosen lacks. I still think Rosen worth strong consideration, but Mayfield, Rosen, Darnold is my order of preference. I just hope we can move up and get one of the big three.

No doubt. I liked Watson and Mahomes and argued for them before and during the draft. My take on Mayfield, Rosen, and Darnold is equally subjective. I have no idea what OBD thinks.

Some folks think Sammy's a tease and want him to get overpaid somewhere else. I continue to think he's a quality wr and would love to get him back. However, if the current regime shipped him out because they didn't like his attitude (I don't know) they won't have any interest. Will other teams outbid our price point? I suspect there are teams with more to spend in FA this year that are willing to take a chance on him.
