Wil Levis reportedly plummeting down draft boards

I'm not really sure what you're actually arguing here.

Those stats aren't good. His college tape wasn't good. He was a very talented guy who was a huge project and guys who fall into that bucket and are drafted high rarely pan out.

Stats don't guarantee anything -- lots of guys with good stats who suck in the NFL because what they're doing isn't repeatable. But it's exceedingly rare for guys who just weren't productive in college to get "fixed" by a great coach and turn into good pro QBs.

Credit to Allen, his coaches, and the Bills. They rolled the dice on upside, bet on themselves and it worked out great. He's still a huge outlier.

To say he wasn't productive in college is like saying Elway, Marino or big Ben weren't productive in college. 

You do realize Allen only played two years at division 1... 

A little raw yes 

Backyard football yes 

Inexperienced yes 

Outlier, no. 

It's also a myth that Josh Allen had to be fixed. That's literally not true. Unless you thought Elway needed to be fixed 

An outlier would be someone who doesn't check most of the boxes. 

Allen checked every single box except for experience 

If he played 3 years at Michigan pre analytics, he would've been the number one pick a million times out of a million. His arm talent alone is probably the greatest ever

And lets not forget that, even though I actually like the Bills, their fans, and Josh Allen, he hasn't got them to the dance.  He has got to the prom, only to watch his date dance with the captain of the football team.

Blame McDermott for 13 seconds. Allen literally did Elway the drive twice in arrowhead and McDermott screwed it up. I'll never forgive him for that bs

My buddy live is NJ where they can bet on who gets picked where.

Apparently Levis odds to go 1st overall plummeted to 25-1 last night and then again to 10-1 this morning.

Some sharp may have inside info.

Or it's a very illiquid market so the line can move quickly with relatively little action

Blake Bortles was billed as a Big Ben clone too. 

Bortles didn't have a generational arm, athletic ability or toughness. 

Bortles was also not accepted to numerous ivy league schools or have a perfect act score. Levis also played against the best on a second tier sec school 

Levis and young had extremely high processing scores

Poor Leviis.  Not only did he not get drafted, but his smoking hot girlfriend was def done w/ him and was texting other dudes by the end of the night.  She cannot be seen w a 2nd round talent.
