Bleacher Report analysts Chris Simms and Matt Miller love the pick of the Bills trading up for Allen.
“I love the value here,” said Miller. “He was my number two quarterback just a shade behind Sam Darnold. We’ve talked for a year about his athletic traits. He has the best arm I’ve ever seen. He’s 6-5, 225 and I compare him to Cam Newton. Yes his accuracy needs work. … He has great size, he’s a very good athlete and he’s only getting better. … I give this pick an A-plus.”
CBS Sports give the pick an A+

Josh Allen’s inaccuracy as a thrower against marginal competition makes him a risk that many teams wouldn’t want to take. He showed improvement through the draft process, though, so it’s possible this will turn out.
