Bills’ Lorenzo Alexander: Josh Allen May Have to Answer For Insensitive Tweets
Josh Allen’s dad, Joel, recorded a congratulatory message to his son before he was selected seventh overall by the Buffalo Bills.
With that pick, the Bills had two options: Josh Rosen or Josh Allen. “It’s hard to predict how successful he’s going to be, but he was considered one of the top five quarterbacks”. This was a major surprise. “Josh Allen has a great arm, could work on his accuracy, but he’s still a good quarterback”.
In 1967, Ron Billingsley was drafted by the San Diego Chargers as a 14th pick, holding the distinction of highest pick in Cowboys history until Allen was chosen last night. Before that, though, give the Bills credit for decided what they wanted a year in advance and going after it. He will not be the day one starter and will sit behind AJ McCarron which is needed.
Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold were both off the board by the time the Bills picked. 22, 65 and 154, to the Baltimore Ravens in order to select Virginia Tech linebacker Tremaine Edmunds at No. 16. He is 19 so he is extremely raw.
Saying the comments don’t reflect the person he has become, Allen vowed it’s on him to prove to everyone how much he’s matured.
Last March, the Chicago Bears signed veteran quarterback Mike Glennon to a three-year, $45 million contract. It was one of the most shocking moments of the night, because now Dallas is left with just Terrance Williams, Allen Hurns, Cole Beasley, Ryan Switzer and Deonte Thompson atop the receiver depth chart. This pick is an absolute steal for the Bills. “It has been gratifying to see how Josh and his family have embraced our state throughout his career here, and I know he will always be a fan favorite in the state of Wyoming”. Rodger Sherman of The Ringer shared his winners and losers of the first round and didn’t hold back when it came to the Bills. The Bucs ended up taking defensive tackle Vita Vea with the 12th pick. He’s also used to playing in inclement weather, something Buffalo is notorious for and what attracted GM Brandon Beane to him. Think of it this way: The Bucs gave up a dollar. The deals leave them with six picks in the draft, including a third-rounder 96th overall on Friday. Everything considered, the Bills were a victor in the first round. The music was immediately turned up following the announcement and many smiles and dance moves were put on display, including some Bills fans that were especially loud.
