An extra 1st and 2nd to get Darnold over Rosen or Mayfield is nuts If I'm the Bills I don't assume any one of those 3 makes it past Denver. So I'm trading up to at least 4 and taking the best one. I've grown more wary of Mayfield and Rosen over the past couple weeks. Mayfield comes from a spread system and Rosen is a statue in the pocket with an injury history. So I personally would pay the extra cost for Darnold.

McD probably has to hold back on how much he would trade for him. That's how I see it as well. Darnold is a perfect fit for the process
Like A Mofo Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 If the Bills want Darnold, they need to get to 1. If Beane does everything he can to get that pick and Cleveland says 'No we just can't pass on Darnold' there is nothing that can be done. As long as the Bills take their best shot, that matters most.
NickelCity Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Early on in the process, I didn't know what to think about Darnold. Rosen is more polished as a passer, and so I gravitated toward him. The more you watch Darnold, though, the more you get it. He reminds me of Roethlisberger. Great pocket presence, ability to make steps here and there to avoid the rush. Definitely got moxie. I think he'll pan out. Right now I have 4 tiers: Darnold/Rosen Mayfield Allen/Jackson (way down yonder on the Chattahoochee) Everyone else 1

Im a big Rosen fan but have been warming up to Darnold. Just curious what schools do reliably produce great nfl qb's? Personally I cant think of any

MSU had Stanton, Cousins, and Hoyer all start in the same week a few times. NC State had Rivers, Glennon, and (kind of) Russ Wilson.

Hey... know what other QB Bills fans are pretty fond of who was recruited by Joe Paterno as an LB...? Sounds like Darnold would fit right in in Buffalo

He has a LB build too And it does remind me of 12. 1

To be negative on a guy because of past players from a certain school is just a bad way to look at things. No school is putting out great qbs consistently that's why its such a crap shoot.

I don't think it's the best way to look at things at all. But on one sunday last year 6 of the 32 teams starters went to 2 colleges. That's pretty good I think.

wppete Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 I agree. We will sohow end up with Darnold and next year we will have roughly $100million in salary cap to use in Free Agency with a rookie QB contract. The AFC East will be very different in the next 5-8 years. Cmon McBean figure it out and make it happen please for all Bills Mafia!!!!!

That's not just usc qbs its all early qbs. Like I said im onboard for rosen first but would not be upset with Darnold at all. Im not at all skeptical or worried about him because leinhart and sanchez were bums. FOr every Jim Kelley there is a Ken Dorsey or gino toretta
Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 I may cry if we get Darnold. It's been a while since we have had a legit franchise QB. Rosen and Mayfield would excite me but I just think Darnold is everything we want. His anticipation is off the charts. 2 2

How can you be deciding between 2 completely different players? Josh Allen: Tall, big hands, poor college stats Baker Mayfield: Short, small hands, amazing college stats What do they value? How can they be zeroing in on polar opposites? If they value big strong players then that imediately disqualified Mayfield. If they value completion percentage then Allen is off the board. This is bizarre even for Cleveland Edited April 20, 2018 by kdiggz 1
