I don't know about the Kaepernick comparison but Allen has a lot of plays that just 'get away' from him. I think he is as raw as Blaine Gabbert and Joe Flacco coming out. Flacco career accuracy right now is 61% in the NFL and Blaine Gabberts is 56%. I think Allen can make enough plays with his arm to be maybe closer to Flacco but thats not something Id be optimistic about in a franchise QB. I don't think Allen's deep ball is any good right now despite how far he can throw it in shorts.

Allen being a good NFL QB would be basically unprecedented. I'm not saying it won't happen but he needs to go to a stable team that can actually develop a QB like New Orleans or maybe Pittsburgh. I'd give him about a 20% chance of making it in Cleveland or with the Jets.

Maybe Pittsburgh, but I think a team wrapping up with Brees is going to want a prospect with more accuracy to start with.

If true, it's like the Jets (and Browns) WANT to suck.

Allen is going to bust hard. He's Kaepernick 2.0. He might be good early on, but once the NFL figures out how to neutralize his athleticism, his lack of QB sills will be exposed.

Cutler was never great, but he was an above-average QB IMO. Kind of like Matt Stafford. I don't think Josh Allen will be that good / mediocre. In fact, the dude should be a WR prospect IMO.

I wonder if Nelson will go top 10. In this century, only one guard has gone in the first 10 picks (Leonard Davis, 2001, Pick 2). If you look around the league, the average round that the 64 starters was picked is probably the 4th.

Most mocks have Chicago taking Nelson but they have lots of needs and should have two or three top defensive talents available to them.

I think he could drop.

Baker Mayfield will be the best QB in this draft. I hope the Giants pass on him.

This is the longest wait ever it seems. Combine was over a month ago. No reason to be waiting till almost May

Gotta have an Oline or you can't even compete. Completely locking down one of the positions with a total stud makes it easier to build the rest. And guards have been getting paid more than ever these last few seasons. In a weak Oline draft he is the clear Alpha.

By the way, what do you think about this trade from the ESPN website, where the Bills get Foles and the Eagles #32, and the Eagles get the Bills at #12 and McCarron. What do you think about that?

I'd love to draft from 12, that's for sure. Almost hate to send Foles there after you all decimated the Oline, but it's a business afterall. Wentz is the guy so if we can maximize Foles value, we probably should. McCarron is meh, but Pederson's O might be the best place for any Quarterback.

I can't see the Bills trading up to #2; the cost is just way too high. The Bills may trade up with the Broncos (or even the Browns at 4), but #2 is too expensive. Talk of 5 picks to get from 12 to 2.
