Jay_Fixit Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Bills need to take this guy Sure, in the 5th round. It's for nerds. But briefly Mahomes throws with incredible accuracy and anticipation. He manipulates safeties and defenders and will scare the hell out of people expecting a certain look. Highest upside QB in the last few years if he works out. Yep, tons of talent. Too bad he also has the worst footwork and mechanics of any QB in the last 10 years. My favorite is when he's leaning to his left and heaves it up. That will work great in the NFL. Mahomes is a huge project that will need at least 3 years behind a veteran before he should start an NFL game.

Marty McFly Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Sorry to break the news brehs but it WILL NOT HAPPEN. His arm talent is crazy upside. The Texans are gonna draft him at 25. Call it. book it. Unless someone jumps in front of them. Houston is gonna be an exciting team to watch next season if they get Mahomes and start him. For the Record: if we didnt keep Tyrod I wanted us to trade down in the 1st grab Mahomes and a WR and S in 2nd round from the extra pick we got for the trade down. He "sounds" great. My opinion is that he'd be worth a shot at the right price based on that. I thought Cousins sounded the same way years ago when interviewed in college. I'd throw Kevin Love into that conversation as well. I know Mahomes has that odd happy-feet thing, BTW. The last two seem to have figured it out. Not HOF'ers yet but solid high-end athletes. Discuss. And sorry for starting a new thread in the TBD days of nothing but new threads. Would be pretty upset if he falls to our 2nd round pick and we don't take him. Agree that his footwork is horrendous, but somehow he is super-accurate using just his upper body. Mechanics are extremely important, but you don't see many people criticizing Favre for his unconventialities of play Edited March 11, 2017 by Marty McFly
PIZ Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I know there are some guys on the board who follow college football. These 2 guys seem to fit Dennison's offense, at least from what I've read. Obviously one guy (Mahomes) is coming out this year, while the other (Allen) next year. Are these guys both a fit for the Bills offense? How do they compare to each other? Mahomes is probably the only QB I like this year, but is he a fit? If he is, take him at 10. If not, I would like to see the Bills trade down multiple times to get a few more lower draft picks this year, and maybe a few higher picks next year to potentially trade (if needed) up for Allen or one of the other top QBs coming out next year.
Elite Poster Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 If you have some free time check out Peterman. Interesting prospect.
Wagon Circler Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Very impressed by Josh Dobbs of Tennesee during his bowl game. Real good arm.
White Linen Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I'm just hoping we get lucky with a QB. I've been wrong as many times as I've been right when I've had a strong feeling about a college QB. Heck, I loved Zac Dysert.
metzelaars_lives Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Wyoming is my college team so very familiar with Allen. He lost a lot of weapons so will be interesting to see if he improves on last year. If he does, I can't imagine he's not a first round pick. I mean, the physical tools are as prototypical as you could possibly hope for in a QB- perfect size, cannon for an arm and dude can run.
PIZ Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I really wanted to like Peterman, but he looks small on the field with an average arm. I'll check him out some more though. What would be a good game to watch of his? Clemson? What about his teammate RB James Conner?
JaCrispy Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) If we are talking best fit for our new WCO between the 2017-18 draft classes, my vote goes to Luke Falk...had he declared he would have been the first QB taken this year imo, and he will likely go top 10 next year as well...For me he is the ideal pocket passer with excellent mechanics, pocket awareness and anticipation on passes...he made the 2018 QB class go from being a very good class to an excellent class and the Bills would be very lucky to get him next year.

PIZ Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I'm impressed with how much you guys know about NFL prospects.
Elite Poster Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I like Peterman for his composure in the pocket. He constantly gets lit up but can still deliver a decent ball. Luke is someone to keep an eye on as well.
H2o Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 If you have some free time check out Peterman. Interesting prospect. Agreed. I think this is the guy I take in this draft as I think he will at least be a competent backup for years to come, if not a starter.
Marty McFly Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 If you have some free time check out Peterman. Interesting prospect. Someone will draft Peterman to develop him as a back up QB. Not gonna put a ceiling on the kid but it seems thats the plan. Kinda how OAK brought in Conner Cook Agreed. I think this is the guy I take in this draft as I think he will at least be a competent backup for years to come, if not a starter. Dude I wrote my comment before I read yours. that ***** crazy!

If he does, I can't imagine he's not a first round pick. I mean, the physical tools are as prototypical as you could possibly hope for in a QB- perfect size, cannon for an arm and dude can run.Yeah, we might need to tank for him or Darnold. Both remind me of Aaron Rodgers a little. I love the way Allen plays, I'll be keeping my eye on him this year. Are the Cowboys gonna be able to make any kind of new years six bowl game run this year?
H2o Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 ....wasn't much info out there as to how he did at the NFL Combine......did you see anything?.............. He threw well at the combine. His footwork is better than most of the guys as well because he played in a Pro Style offense. He's a gamer. Will stand tall in the pocket, wait till the last second to get an accurate pass off because the play calls for it, and take the hit he knows is coming. He doesn't seem to get rattled. I like the guy as a prospect.
Mountain Man Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 If you have some free time check out Peterman. Interesting prospect. Serious question. Can someone explain the hype to me about him? All I see is solid career back up. He is ok at a lot of stuff, and not great at any. I can see him being around the league a long time, just never being a proper starter Very impressed by Josh Dobbs of Tennesee during his bowl game. Real good arm. Same. I can see Cleveland throwing one of their gazillion picks at him. Hue Jackson coached in the senior bowl and looked good
