    Here are my QB projections for the top group:

    Sam Darnold - Philip Rivers
    Baker Mayfield - Kurt Cousins
    Josh Rosen - Sam Bradford
    Josh Allen - Jay Cutler
    Lamar Jackson - Geno Smith

    Eating crow for calling this idea stupid.

    Looks like you nailed it. I guess it was important to do it early to avoid the Bills driving up the price or even beating us to the punch. Didn’t even use the 2019 #1!!

    Does this mean that Mac reads these forums?

    So 1 player, if he pans out, means the team has had historical success in the 7th round?

    I also was being facetious with the former post Mr. Literal.

    Was wary of this idea a few weeks ago and posted that moving to no. 1 was a better idea. Nevertheless, I am okay with this now that it's a done deal. Congratulations on making the call correctly! Where is the crow buffet line?

    Shut up dumbass!!!

    Seriously though, I didn’t think Mac had the balls for this type of move, I’m glad he did and do think the price would’ve went up on draft day if the Colts even still had the pick. I’m thinking the Bills would be in the 3 spot right now if the Jets weren’t.

    Darnold = Mark Sanchez
    Mayfield = Johnny Manziel
    Rosen = Pennington
    Allen = Big Ben
    Lamar Jackson = RG3

    I am eating crow on this as well. I did not think it was a good idea but with the Bills moving up and my change of opinion on Mayfield (also eating crow here too) trading up was not only necessary but a good idea. I also think Mac got good value considering the circumstances. I just hope he does not blow it and take Allen. Taking Mayfield or any of the top 3 would make me very happy. The FA signings were far beyond my expectations. Adding a top 3 qb would make this a dream off season.

    And indy has said they had other offers..I am guessing arizona and buffalo at least, maybe even denver too, had offers in.

    I would say, 1 of those is close to being correct.

    No Don, only the Rivers one is legitimate in my eyes

    Darnold vs. Rivers. Darnold - completely different throwing motion and more mobility. Other than their size, I don't see much in common, but you're right on all the other comparisons. Not even close.
