The No. 7 overall pick the Buffalo Bills used to select Josh Allen in last week's draft is the highest the franchise has ever committed to a quarterback.
If Brandon Beane's gamble to deal the No. 12 pick and two second-round selections for Allen in his first draft as general manager pays off, Allen's ideal size and off-the-charts arm strength will make him the Bills' best quarterback since Jim Kelly retired in 1997.
For a team that has burned through 16 different starting quarterbacks since Kelly, why has it taken this long for the Bills to potentially find their long-term answer at the position?
