I think they end up with Rudolph or Allen. Neither Darnold (of he comes out) or Rosen, will be available when we pick, and there's too many needs going forward to move all those picks to move up for a guy that's a bit a "sure thing". 

 

I think they'll look at Jackson and feel that he's a guy that has to move outside the pocket too much, whereas they want a guy who will be a 3-step & throw kind of player. 

 

I believe they'll be worried about Mayfield's height. If he was actually 6'2", I don't think they'd be as worried, but if he's 6'0 or 6'1 I think they want a guy who has better vision over the line of scrimmage. Kind of irritates me because I think he'll be a good quarterback, but it's all a guessing game. 

 

I believe they might even see Allen as possibly the best/most talented guy in the draft that just hasn't had his talent properly developed... 

 

Rudolph could be another option. Stands tall in the pocket, decent accuracy on the short to medium stuff, but the question with him is how much has the system at Oklahoma St. helped them. 

 

 

I actually agree with your breakdown of how the Bills might end up looking at it.

Looks good except that our QB will get killed without help on the right side.  If we were to take Darnold, I doubt we would also take Allen with other more pressing needs (OT and backup to Shady).

21. Buffalo Bills | James Washington | WR | Oklahoma State 

The depth chart at receiver has gotten thin after the loss of Sammy Watkins and the Anquan Boldin’s brief stint in Orchard Park, and pairing an explosive field-stretcher like Washington with a strong possession target in Zay Jones would be a perfect match.

 

27. Buffalo Bills (from KC) | Mason Rudolph | QB | Oklahoma State 

The Bills may yet make an attempt to invest long-term in Tyrod Taylor, but if they don’t, they’ll need to find his replacement sooner than later. If they’re not convinced Nate Peterman can be the future at quarterback, pairing up Rudolph with his favorite target from Stillwater would be fun to watch.

 

53. Buffalo Bills | Tegray Scales | LB | Indiana

58. Buffalo Bills (from LAR) | Dre’Mont Jones | DL | Ohio State

96. Buffalo Bills (from PHI) | Bryce Love | RB | Stanford

117. Buffalo Bills | Iman Marshall | CB | USC

 

Works for me!

What do you think about Magnifico?

While he's been a better weapon for them this year, he's still only a sophomore and he's been playing as a complement player (which most tight ends do).  Next year, I hope he becomes the passing weapon on that team.  Unfortunately for him, Ferguson is a senior.  Would love to see him beef up a little while keeping his wheels.  He has a lot of developing to do but he will be on draft radars in the near future.  He's just not there as of now IMO

That's the problem with the simulators, they are so unrealistic for me it's pointless.  Braden Smith is one of the better guards in the country and some have him going as high as the end of the 1st round.  The simulators are just horrible but I get the fun in doing them.

Rather take the Olineman higher in the draft. RG & RT are in need of a massive upgrade. Same with LT as cordy has had some really bad games and oft injuries.
