My brother texted me this morning saying we drafted a dumber Jay Cutler..

He's pissed that the Giants didn't trade the pick

Barkley was a great pick by his stupid Giants

I’ve seen Allen compared to Locker quite a bit

Glad most people here are more knowledgeable than NFL scouts and GMs. They should of came here first! Then we would have the best picks every time!

Also,
Alton Brown said we don’t have good wings in Buffalo

I don’t like him either

Maybe i should just “give him a chance” though

March 2018 – Lawrence Pilut is at the top of the SHL defenseman scoring race with 37 points in 49 games, and he’s also leading his team in points. Pilut won the SHL Championship last season with HV71, and they’re on their way to the playoffs again this season. The 22-year-old Pilut is an offense-minded defenseman who plays big minutes in all situations. His skating is good but not great. He’s not a very physical player but uses his smarts to play a solid defensive game. He doesn’t have a heavy shot but is good at finding open lanes to get pucks to the net. Pilut should have multiple NHL offers on his table once his season is over because he’s one of the most interesting free agents available. He could start next season in the NHL if he can quickly adjust to the smaller rink size after only playing in Sweden so far in his career. Jokke Nevalainen

Fantasy Outlook: B-

Offense-minded defenseman with second-pair upside

Great pickup. Was just talking to a friend in Sweden who's a big HV 71 fan a few hours ago about this kid, which is super ironic. They think very highly of him over there. Really came on this year

Another low risk, high upside move by Botts. I like it.

And what happens if all of a sudden a quarterback comes out next year and they Grant him the next great one and we have the first overall pick do we not take him?

Jesus Christ anyone of the QB's taken no matter how good they look can fall on there faces, people act like Allen is the worst. We won't be able to tell anything about him with no WR's.

Basically the whole fan base hated this pick

Besides some people on this board..

It's going to make for a great story if he becomes a franchise quarterback

I think the Browns managed to screw up a wet dream last night but that might only be me. Could have had Darnold and Chubb. But at least Chubb falling to the Broncos allowed you to not give up potentially more assets to get to 5 to take Allen.
