Buffalo Bills: A relief to ignore the rookie quarterback hype

The Buffalo Bills drafted a quarterback every year from 2016-2018.

First came the fourth-round selection of Cardale Jones, followed by the fifth-round selection of Nathan Peterman.

The picks came late enough to where there wasn’t much pressure on the front office for either to succeed, but there was still hope among fans that one of the two could lead the team to great things.

Then came 2018 when Brandon Beane said “enough is enough” and took Josh Allen with the No. 7 overall pick. It was the earliest the franchise took a quarterback since 2013 when EJ Manuel went No.
