RD1, Pick 7: Josh Allen QB - Wyoming

[SouthNYfan]

I'm really upset that we gave up:

 

#12 (1), #53 (2), #56 (2) to get:

 

Josh Allen and 7th rounder

 

and Arizona did:

#15, #79, #152 to get:

 

Rosen

 

 

I feel like we just paid Corvette price for a Chevrolet Malibu, meanwhile Arizona paid Camaro price for a Corvette.

Im actually happy. At the end of the day Allen offers the biggest upside (Jackson too) of these QB’s. 

 

Hes athletic. Has a huge arm. Hopefully Wentz 2.0. 

[Kirby Jackson]

He’s a high ceiling low floor guy. That isn’t the route that I would have went. I’m okay with the compensation. Now he has to turn into what he can be.

Let's give Josh Allen a chance. The Bills just need to get a real QB Coach. 

[Tyrod's friend]

I'm sorry ... it is the absolute height of stupidity to trade 2 #2s for a guy nobody in their right mind wanted. Certainly not at 7.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I can’t believe we traded Watkins, Glenn, Tyrod, Dareus and Darby to move up to take the only QB I didn’t want.

Ok, I'm over the shock and starting to find reasons to get excited (as I always do, I try my best to be a positive "look at the bright side" type of person). 

 

Like it or not Allen IS a Buffalo Bill. I want to find reasons to get excited, not find reasons to be miserable. 

 

Allen probably has the highest ceiling of any QB in this draft class. If he develops right, we are set at QB for the next decade plus. 

 

This kid sounds absolutely thrilled to be in Buffalo. I hope Bills fans give him a legitimate chance. It's not his fault Buffalo drafted him...

Good luck David Culley!

All year the consensus was Beane is a witch identify his guy and go get him. Now that he took Allen half those guys are so sure that he screwed the pooch because of Josh Rosen? Give me a break.

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

QBs with big arms always work out. I mean you only have to go all the way back to Elway to find one that did.

[BigDingus]

The moment the announcers started talking about how much Terry Pegula became infatuated with Allen after his recent visit, I knew we were screwed.

Never let the owner dictate who the QB you draft as the face of the franchise is... It almost never works.

So much for the "high character" guys

Rosen is a saint?

[dayman]

IMO he's the best pick of the bunch. I get the issues, but they've all got issues and his upside is the best. He played at Wyoming. Give him a break.

#lets go AJ

[Real McClappy]

Whatever, at this point I just hope AJ tears it up for us.

 

I don't like this pick at all let alone trading for him.

 

2023:

Have become the biggest Allen homer and fan on the board since year #2.

I was wrong

So are we tanking this year? Allen isn't seeing the field and we have 2 backups otherwise.

Pegula meddling 

 

The opposite of this.  Pegula's reaction to the kneeling controversy shows he's very uncomfortable with PR challenges.  That the Bills took Allen is proof that Pegula is giving Beane free reign.

Huge assumption is that Rosen is a Corvette. Rosen could be a Honda Accord. Lol

[P51]

Hopefully they get Leighton or Rashann E next, disappointed with Allen for sure, hoping for the best...
