And Beane said he would be going to his pro day and that they'd have him visit Buffalo. I can't help but think he is feeding into the Galko report publicly just to throw everyone off lol.

I think the Bills primary target may be Allen (unfortunately) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has looked consistently better since the Senior Bowl, which is also when he started getting new coaches around him. His body frame and arm talent are undeniable, and if he continues to fix his footwork he could easily be the best QB in this draft. I’m not sure we would be the best place for him, as he could use a QB guru, but man this kid could end up being really really freakin good.

I believe he and Jackson had the most dropped passes in college last year. It is worrisome sure, but it's not Jake Locker or Erik Rodriguez Manuel bad.

He will impress you with his arm in drills and in practices but when the game starts it's just not there. Allen has no anticipation... Same issue as Tyrod they are totally different players (one has a monster arm and the other protects the football and scrambles) but they have the same issue. I just don't see it at all... Teams fall in love with his arm if he wants any chance at success he will have to sit a few years like Rodgers did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamcanadian Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 The only problem is, Allen isn't likely to get past somewhere around the 10 to 12th pick and a lot of QB desperate teams will be in the bidding for him, leaving us with only the Jackson/Rudolph option unless we trade up?

I'm also very wary of guys who struggle with the only thing that really matters which is getting the ball to his playmakers consistently. Arm talent is useless without the mental side and it seems like it is almost impossible to teach intangibles. I'd be afraid of drafting Allen and ending up with someone like Hackenberg. Allen has been impressive in all the predraft stuff but I'm still a little wary of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going up and getting one will involve pick 22 but if some how they dont include 22 I agree Oline or LB would be the right move. I think Price could be had in the 2nd rd since his injury, I am not sure about Will Hernandez cause hes been sky rocketing but if some how he falls in the 2nd I would love this to be the pick as he has shown to be a big mauler.

I still don`t see this happening. Even in the greatest QB drafts of all time that many didn`t go early. The Browns and Jets are a lock for a QB. The Giants I really don`t see taking one unless Darnold is there, which again, I doubt. All of Elways moves have the look of trying to compete as opposed to a rookie QB. I actually think Rosen could be available with the 6th pick if the Jets decide on Baker and if that is the case, I am offering pick 12, 53 and 95.

Allen has been impressive in all the predraft stuff but I'm still a little wary of him. Your post reminded me of Bill Walsh's QB evaluation criteria. My concern with Allen is that even if you believe you can fix the mechanics, after so many years doing the same thing, when in a tense in-game situation, his muscle memory will kick in and he will throw with an open torso yielding a very inaccurate ball. In short, I think he is too risky to bank on as a franchise guy. http://www.sportsxchange.com/DS97/walsh/walsh2qb.htm One of the reasons I like Rosen has to do with his comeback vs. Texas A&M. Having the 28-point 4th quarter comeback was already more than what Tyrod ever did. Mayfield and Darnold can make similar claims of leading comebacks. Some made a name for themselves even before last year, showing they have demonstrated that trait on a more consistent basis. http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap3000000665682 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
