If they can trade up, it will be for Drake Maye.

That is what I think they will do. Anything else seems like a letdown at this point.

This video is the best to keep it all in perspective. These are Bills' fans reacting to the team taking Josh Allen over Josh Rosen...

They were devastated - part of me feels like we want Maye, but maybe JJ ends up the better one in the end? Hard to predict!

McCarthy. I just don’t see any way possible New England moves from 3. We’re going to trade away less to get to 4 or 5 and take jj. Book it

Seems like they will at least get McCarthy. Chance at Maye if NE is truly wanting to trade down. No one knows tho.

It is so far basically a tie between Maye, McCarthy, and Dong!

Those same types of fans are on this board and throughout our fanbase. They will lose their shit if we move up to draft McCarthy because "they know." Then, move on to the next lousy take if the pick is a hit.

Dong gets a bad rap around the league sometimes, but have you seen the highlights?

Similar to Penix he has a weird angle to his delivery, but it still works for him.
The kid routinely delivers in the clutch.

Not the most impressive physically, but tries real hard and is incredibly intelligent.

That's awesome - they can use that knowledge to leverage against NE!

Seems like each guy has warts, but it comes down to whose are the worst? I'm not sold on Caleb Williams and I really like Jayden Daniels, but we won't get those two. Then you look at Maye and he has a lot of warts, but people think he is the next Josh Allen and just needs some tweaks. McCarthy was on a winning team, but those system quarterbacks usually are not successful in the NFL. MLHouse has probably gotten me to like McCarthy way more than I did a few months ago. Penix Jr. throws so weird that I wonder what our QB HC thinks of that? Nix was a system guy and will be like 40 by the time he gets drafted! :lol:

All these guys have better stats than most quarterbacks taken in the first round over the last decade, but as we know with Kirk Cousins, stats don't tell the whole story. We'd like a winner in JJ McCarthy, but not the guy who threw no TDs and just over 100 yards in the championship game.

If it’s McCarthy, it’s McCarthy. I think they prefer Maye and may not be so quick to hand the bag over for JJ.

If it’s JJ, I’m cool with it. Gotta trust KOC.

I’m not going with who I want but who I think the pick is…

I went Penix Jr.

The closer this thing gets without a trade with NE makes me wonder. I don’t think they are going to trade the bag for JJ.

I think they come out of this with Maye.


But I’d be happy with McCarthy or Penix too.

I’m pretty convinced the top 3 picks will not be traded.

Penix is my next guy after Maye that I would like to see us draft.

I liked Allen the best in that draft. I liked Rosen 2nd best. One is great and the other stunk.
