Buffalo's preference of QBs is: Sam Darnold Josh Allen Josh Rosen Baker Mayfield and they like all four of them. He also says that if they're able to keep #22, they'd be targeting CB, LB, or O-Line, and he specifically mentions Isaiah Oliver, Donte Jackson, and Rashaan Evans as the 3 guys to watch. Fire our FO! Fire them all! Only 1/2 kidding. Seriously, if the Bills "like all 4" of those QB, as different as the parts of them we can see of them are shown to be, it would cast serious doubt on their scouting chops. I'm not criticizing the order - depending upon the results of private workouts, interviews, tests, discussion I can see how you "get there from here". I'm criticizing the alleged lack of ability to make selective distinctions which would have them "like all four"
BuffaloBaumer Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I would not take Allen in the 7th round, total waste of a pick

In fact, I think that's the smartest way to go, especially considering how little is currently set in stone on the offensive side of the ball.
BillsFan4 Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I don't buy that the Bills have josh Allen ahead of josh Rosen. Too much stuff points to Rosen over Allen imo. I think allen is their #3 or #4 QB behind at least Darnold and Rosen.

I looked it up. I don't follow mock drafts enough to tell who is most accurate, but he did get an impressive number of picks correct. Which means he got 5 of the top 10 picks incorrect, still.

Yeah haha, it's all relative, but I remember there was a website basically dedicated to scoring mock drafts based on getting the team and the pick correct (basically got half credit if you got the slot right but the wrong team or vice versa) and he was #1 last year. I'm familiar with him from when he was a Bucs writer and he was extremely well connected to the team back then. He's well connected around the league at this point despite working for a total douchebag in Walter.

I can see "liking all 4" as in "they're all on our draft board - somewhere". What I'm referring to is if they really consider all 4 of them players they would wheel and deal and trade up to try to draft. I can understand different rank orders depending on how you weight factors, but not saying "yeah, we'll trade up and get one of those 4" . Too different.

Whoever this Charlie Campbell guy is does not seem like a credible source to me. If they do take Jackson, I would expect them to have the good sense to incorporate his skill set into the offense they plan on running, and do the same thing if they do move up to take one of the first 4 QB's Edited April 26, 2018 by BmarvB
