Bakin Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I hope it works out for us...really do. But what I respect about our GM is that he went out there and GOT THE DAMN PLAYERS HE WANTED. Allen wasn’t my first choice and like most here I thought Rosen would be the better pick. Obviously Beane didn’t think the same. He could have taken Rosen. He saw something he didn’t like or saw something he preferred in Allen. His hand wasn’t forced. He got what he wanted. The cost? Meh...who knows what is going on behind the scenes and who’s trying to trade up for whom...I wish we had 53 56 and 65 but Beane went after the number one LB and QB on his boards. Respect. I was in favour of holding. It wouldn’t have worked out, likely. Maybe Allen would have been there at 12. Maybe not. I give props to Beane for going and getting the players he wanted. Looking forward to the QB competition and September can’t get here soon enough! 4 3
John from Riverside Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I give him credit and holding tight till he didnt have to give up his other 1st round pick.....OR next years 1st.....but still got his QB 3
Misterbluesky Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Beane had him penciled in since last fall ...his presser screamed that. 1
Murdox Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Rosen has had 2 concussions already. Definitely an issue in the NFL. Allen has the most upside and Beane is looking to make a dent. He must have confidence here. We are not talking about a guy who was rumored to be falling past anything lower than the middle of the first round, and in those mocks other QBs often feel even further. Let's take a deep breath. 1 2
Alphadawg7 Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I think Beane did a great job to get 2 of the top 15 prospects in a draft that wasn't deep with top end talent. And we did not give up anything next year either to do it. He is a wizard. 6
Fadingpain Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 To the OP; how in hell do you know Beane got what he wanted? How do we know this wasn't Plan B, or even C? There were a number of unexpected picks in the first 10. 1

rodneykm Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 We potentially added 2 superstar caliber players tonight. 7 1
26CornerBlitz Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) We do not know this since he was the 3rd QB taken in the draft. Edited April 27, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz 1

YoloinOhio Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I believe Darnold was #1 on their board, and not sure where Mayfield and Allen were. 1
BuffaloRush Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Allen seems liked he was a Doug whaley pick 1 1
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I do believe he got who he wanted as well. Possibly he would have taken Darnold over Allen but I doubt Mayfield.
Bob in STL Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I just don’t know enough to even guess which QB will be the best. I am impressed with the linebacker. Whoa, this kid could be special.
nbbillsfan Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I have to believe that they had mayfield and/or darnold higher as you never heard beans say something along the lines of “we got our top rated qb”
RFL Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Great night for Beane. Perhaps Allen is there at #12, maybe the Dolphins take him at #11. Good call on the move. Tremaine Edmunds was a friggin steal at #16. Wish we still had our two’s, but thats the cost of doing business. Bucs were huge winners too
Logic Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 We only know that they had Allen rated higher than Rosen, Rudolph, Jackson, and whoever else gets drafted at QB this year. We do NOT know if they had Allen rated higher than Mayfield or Darnold. It's a moot point now.

Still have 6 picks left. 1
Perry Turtle Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 So if Allen is Beane's guy, does Beane get fired if Allen is a bust?
