Only QBs who fit that mold are Darnold, Rosen and maybe Mayfield. I believe this is the case as well. I also think they are looking for a pocket passer which is why they haven’t brought Jackson in. 1 hour ago, xRUSHx said: Not worth a top 12 pick, why bother This gives me even more confidence in the Bills staff that they put value on a feel for the game and production when evaluating prospects.

Tribinsky didn't start for the Bears day 1, Watson didn't start for the Texans day 1, Aaron Rogers didn't start for the pack day 1........sooooooo...I don't agree w you on that statement. 1
Tyrod's friend Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 26 minutes ago, horned dogs said: I think until recently, they felt there was no chance they got Darnold. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2018-nfl-mock-draft-browns-make-josh-allen-the-top-pick-cards-trade-up-for-josh-rosen/ This actually makes pretty good sense. Makes extremely good sense that there's a chance and that's why they up and left town to go see Darnold at the last minute ... but I see the Giants as being more likely to trade #2 with the Broncos (Rosen is their presumed choice) , Jets & Mayfield at 3, Cleveland at 4 (Barkley/Chubb/DB). Possible that the Bills and Giants make that second trade to move up to 5. Giants get a running back at 12, a Guard at 22, pick up a second rounder from Denver (OT/DL), a second rounder from us (WR).

I’d say he has had just about the same amount of time from the Bills as the others. When did they have a private workout with him? That is the whole point of this thread, they have not.

Watson started week 2 after having played the second half of the 1st game... I really doubt the Bills dealt Tyrod to draft a project and have a career backup start week 1. I believe they would have kept Taylor if they want to have a rookie QB sit.

I thought the point of the thread was they didn’t have him in for a visit. Which is significant to me.

One scout to see one game. Every other meeting and workout was convenient. Senior bowl, combine, pro day. 1

Which is significant to me. For sure. A private visit is > a private workout after a pro day. I believe they have had both with all of the other top guys.

racketmaster Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Neither Allen nor Jackson were in for visits or had a pre-draft workout. Highly unlikely Bills targrt either player. The common denominator between the two is a low completion percentage (accuracy concerns) and being physical freaks. Both are also seen as raw talents that need time to develop. This regime may just prefer players that are more ready to perform early. They have had combine and/or Senior Bowl interviews but not the extensive in depth meetings ( at least not anything that I have seen reported). Edited April 16, 2018 by racketmaster 2

But I’ve repeated that point constantly about readiness to play. The trading of TT and then lack of urgency in signing a FA QB told me all I needed to know about the type of QB they want to draft. Also, they harp on wanting rookies who are experienced and “ready” to play as shown by their picks last year. Beane wasn’t here but he/Carolina had Tre, Dawkins and Zay in for visits or private workout. Edited April 16, 2018 by YoloinOhio 1

You probably answered this already but when did they have a workout with him?
