After trading picks 12, 53 and 56 to move up to the seventh overall spot, the Buffalo Bills selected Josh Allen as the quarterback of the future.
The NFL Network analysts gave the Bills B grade for picking up the QB out of Wyoming. The newest Buffalo Bill is drawing comparisons to Carolina Panthers quarterback, Cam Newton. NFL analyst Bucky Brooks had this to say after Allen became the Bills first pick of the night.
“Sean McDermott, Brandon Beane and a bunch of those guys come from the Carolina Panthers,” said Brooks. “They had an athletic quarterback that was duel-threat with a strong arm, but wasn’t a great accuracy guy in Cam Newton.
