To be fair, he was a consensus top QB.

We don’t have that this year.


I think most teams have their “top guy” and think they know how they will turn out, but the odds and history show that no one really does.

And that’s not be saying don’t trade up, or don’t go get that guy, but just don’t pretend to know Allen will be a giant bust. We/they truly don’t have a clue

This has been my entire argument about trading up

Unless there is absolutely the guy that they love be very careful about trading up for just a QB, you better get your guy, a guy that you are essentially putting your job on the line for.

I just think moving up for josh Allen is a bigger risk then moving up Rosen

These two drafts are probably the most important in our franchises history

Hopefully you all went to church on Sunday

Why can't the Bill's be a team like the Bruins, that let's a great player fall to them?

I see trading up a few spots, but next years first shouldn't even be considered

OMG, they aren't trading up for EJ Manuel. You tell us every blog what your argument is. We get it. You want a chance to draft one of the best in this class. This is the alleged best QB class in effin years. Give me the option to pick one of the best from that class. They sacrificed A LOT to secure the draft capital for THIS DRAFT. If they strike out, SFW. At least they took a shot at changing the franchise for a decade and can do it all over again in 2 years.

Rosen is the dude to me. Is he the dude and will pan out? idk. Will I be upset if their dude is someone else? Yes, but he'll be my favorite QB in the NFL minutes later.

Report: Three NFL teams have called Broncos about draft trade

Mike Klis of 9News reported Sunday that the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills and Arizona Cardinals have called the Broncos to gauge their interest in trading the No. 5 overall draft selection.

Allen is JP Losman.
Can hit the long ball while throwing the 8 yard crossing pattern 3 feet behind the receiver in the dirt.

don't trade up...pick best available qb at 12 then use the rest of your picks go fill in holes...

i'd take jackson at that spot if available

- Michael Pachla

Jackson is growing on me, but he is another project (although who isn’t)…
So he would need to sit and learn for a year or so.

Sharks sign Kane
Sharks decline 2019 pick
Sharks win the lottery we draft the next Connor McDavid in 2020

Then cup

- gerbe75pts

That’s assuming Sharks miss the playoffs next year. I think along with resigning Kane they are legitimate contenders for Tavares in the offseason if he leaves the Island. I’d expect a 2019 first rounder.

I have been saying this in every blog for the past month. If the Bills want a QB they need to get the Broncos pick. Broncos have cap issues and have more holes to fill then picks available if they still want to contend with a top 3 defense in the league. Makes too much sense to move back.

No I want to draft the best one, not the chance to draft one of the best ones.

Big difference.


McDermott and Beane are building something that could be great here. The culture shift was tremendous last year. If they strike out after moving up (assuming it costs a ton to move up) then all that work they did is for nothing because they are looking for a new coach and GM.

Rosen could be one concussion away from retirement
Darnold is the safe bet but does safe win championships?
Allen has huge bust potential
Mayfield is the guy I want but I understand and get the marks against him.

It’s the smart play, especially given the questions about all of them.
