I looked into this before and discovered trading our 1st and 2nd picks would only net us the 17th overall pick. Even if one drops that far, I really don't care for this option because the first round trade ups we've done in the past have been disastrous. I don't want another Blaine Gabbert or Derrick Harvey. Allen in particular looks very erratic when you watch his game tapes as opposed to his highlights.

I watch a lot of Wyoming games. As for why you draft Josh Allen, I can count the number of QBs I've seen over the past fifty years with a comparable arm with seven fingers. Doug Williams, Jim Kelly, Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Jeff George, Terry Bradshaw, and Johnny Unitas. 

Josh Allen's elite arm strength makes him a Super Bowl contending quarterback automatically. He will need some grooming to learn a pro system and how to make plays within such a system. A team may decide that he is too valuable to bench and want to teach him on the fly.

Seriously?

You clearly never actually watched those players. Jeff George and Terry Bradshaw had elite arm strength. Kelly, Favre, Marino, and Unitas didn't. I'm not sure about Doug Williams.

There have been plenty of QBs with elite arm strength who have failed in the NFL. Once a QB's arm strength is sufficient, then any more is immaterial.

Or am I missing something? Was your post sarcasm?
