elroy16 Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Allen is the only pick the Bills have made where I was legitimately pissed off. I was kind of annoyed with the Spiller pick, but told myself he was going to be a great playmaker, so sold myself on it within a day or two. Most picks, I can talk myself into since I don't pay much attention to college football. I was so pissed when they drafted Allen. We knew they wanted a QB and I had basically sold myself on all of the QB's except for Allen. I figured Sam would be off the board and thought maybe the pick would be either Baker or Rosen. When Rosen was there at 7 after they traded up, I got my hopes up really high. He was supposed to be the most NFL ready, he's been groomed to be QB for years and years. We just saw a "raw, but crazy gifted" QB turn into nothing in EJ. I wanted a QB that actually looked like a QB, not a project. Edited June 18, 2019 by elroy16

When the pick was announced, the cameras focused on some of the Giants fans. It looked like they saw a ghost! ?

Do I feel sorry for them? NO! But maybe we should be happy that the Giants waited till this year to select a QB.... No one should ever feel sorry for any franchise that has won a SB in it’s history. 1

Buffalo86 Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 If Jones was the Giants' guy, there was no sense getting cute. That being said, the video was hilarious. "Oh, NOOOO! Daniel Jones?!? That's the quarterback you ****ing take?!?" Which Hanna Barbera character is he, anyway?

Perhaps his series of injuries has played a role in his lack of development/production? Assigning guilt is easy; proving it can be problematic, especially in a spectator sport. 1

I personally would have traded back again and then take Manual who was the best Quarterback in that draft. Not that it says much. Picks I hated most were Spiller when we had good backs and the trade up for a WR in a Strong WR draft for Watkins. In my Mocks that year I had us trading back and getting Martin G, Benjamin WR and Martavius Bryant My real issue with that year was that we had set ourselves up to have to take a quarterback in a draft that had nothing better than mediocre quarterbacks. I think that when all was said, and done, the best quarterback of that draft was Matt Barkley! If we would have negotiated a more reasonable contract with Fitzpatrick, or just bit the bullet, and paid, and played him in 2013, we would have been in a much better position the following year.

And on a per game basis, Sammy has been less productive in his two years away from Buffalo than in any of his 3 in Buffalo. Injuries are a major factor and most likely the main factor in his underwhelming career thus far. There’s no denying his talent. And if you were to ask me 7 years ago who’d be the best NFL receiver from that Clemson team between Nuk and Sammy, I would have put my life’s savings on Watkins. Life. It’s a *****.

wppete Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Since Mcdermott has been drafting he has done an incredible job! Tre White Josh Allen Tremaine Edmunds Ed Oliver All first round home runs!

I don't know that I'd characterize the final 3 as "home runs" at this point, but I 100% agree that every pick they've made has "home run potential", which is a far cry from Rex's 2016 draft. 1

Ouch. That draft was an abomination as it turned out. Lawson is the only one left and the last chance to squeeze something out of that draft. Although, technically, we can hope that the 4th round pick we got from KC for Ragland and traded to Washington to get back into the third round this year to select Knox pans out.
