Great effort. And i like the draft except for the first two picks. I just do not see buddy going outside the south in rounds one and two. I think McGee makes the team, and has a great season. I think White(olb) makes it on the team, if he can stay healthy. He is my sleeper guy.

You can not play a game when you are talking about your first rounder. Also the way Pro Days are set up and the fact you can have 30 guys in for a visit, helps you not say for certain who you want first. Other teams know the Bills needs, if Mayock, Kiper, and McShay do. If he does not come in for a visit, Floyd will not be the pick.

I actually started a thread back in March stating that if Nix was not at Floyd's Pro Day it would be a strong indicator he was not going to be drafted. I got called a moron pretty much, and maybe i am, but i think i am right about this. The fact that Nix was not there and that they do not have him scheduled for a visit, is saying he wont be the pick. I mean Nix has not played a game so far, and if you think he is now, it is probably because you want Floyd at 10.

The one thing i like about Reiff is he was a stud wrestler. This is one thing that can really help an offensive lineman. Oline, as we all know is about leverage. Size and strength are important, but its about moving your guy to somewhere he does not want to go. Dline man in the NFL are big and strong, it usually comes down to who gets the best postioning of hands and who gets lower. Having said all that, i am still not sold on Reiff, would rather Glenn. he has more upside and versatility.

I really do not like a wr out of ND at 10, that has had some issues off the field. But if Buddy and Chan like him, fine. But then to go wr in the second again seems a little tough to swallow. The Bills have other glaring area's of need, and i would find it hard to believe there will not be players with similar 'grades' available in those areas. Couple this with the fact the Jeffrey struggled this year with his weight and production on the field, i do not like him in the second. And as one other poster mentioned, Buffalo is not the place for someone who lacks discipline in eating. Too much great food!!! They Bills already have like 9 guys under contract at WR. And i know that does not mean much, but i think Chan believes his system can make a wr a star. When you look at OT and LB, the Bills are in serious need of players.

He may be the pick, but i can gaurantee you if you asked Buddy Nix if he saw Sports Science, he would tell you "we didnt have that course when i went to college". Btw, did Buddy go to Notre Dames Pro Day?

The only thing that worries me about him is his weight distribution. He seems very top heavy, and has smaller legs. I hope the ankle sprain was just a freak occurence, but think the Bills must add a tackle early(by round 3). Someone that could rotate in with Hairston. And in two years could play RT or move Hairston there. Round 6 or 7 find another project guy that needs a year on the PS, if the draft fals that way.

They just restructered McGee's contract. Very team friendly/incentive ladden. And Florence is solid, not great. I agree they let McKelvin walk barring a huge break out year. I think they need a CB in the first three rounds. But also think they need LB help and OL help too. To me anything past round 3 is a big gamble as to what you get. Could be a great player but far too many wash out in a year or two.

I agree with your theory. Do you agree that players can have a similar Value wether it is a percent or number or letter grade? IE if you have DeCastro rated at 4.8 out of 5 and you also have say Gilmore at 4.8 out of 5, would you not then look at what you need more now?

To many CB's early. Gilmore and Williams would be your starters? Still leaves you with McGee, McKelvin, Florence and Rodgers before Josh Robinson. I like Gilmore at 22, and OLB at 37 but think you gotta go OT before the fourth round.

after hearing that i wonder was it edited some? I mean Williams sounds crazy, half sentences, repeats himself like Rainman, very strange. Think maybe he has been hit in the head a few times and wants others to feel his pain? Seriously, this goes against everything the NFL is very publicly trying to stop- 'Head Shots'. 'Cut off the head and the body dies'. Not to mention taking out guys knees. If Goodell doesn't throw Williams out of the league for ever, he is allowing a huge liability to be involved.

Thats your opinion, isnt it? And i mean it honestly. You got a Micheal Vick that took a beating last year, and probably will again this year. If he goes down who do they have to back him up? I am being very serious. And Vicks style of play lends him to getting hit more often then most QB's. I get that on paper they look great, but i wouldn't bet on them. They play in the same division as the Giants. The Cowboys are solid but not great. A lot of teams in the NFC got better. Packers will be hungry, Detroit is a team on the rise, Chicago is still a tough out, The Saints and Falcons are very solid teams. Carolina and Tampa Bay will be improved. San Fran should win the west. Not much else out there, i will give you that. You could be right, but to say it is a done deal for the Eagles is a stretch.

I get what you and the rest of the guys are saying, i do. I know QB is the most important position, but if you have a guy you know needs more maturing, why draft him this low? So what if you go out and have a 2-14 year next year, and can pick the best QB next draft, you just pissed away your top 10 pick this year. I guess it is a catch 22. or at the very least a huge gamble.

Seems like a good kid. Maybe a little shy. Maybe he does not test well at all. I bet dollars to doughnuts he still goes before Buffalo picks at 10.

Living in Atlanta and having some very close friends who at GT fans, i never once heard about Hill. You always heard about Johnson and D Thomas. I asked my friend, who is an obnoxious Tech fan about Hill, He dropped a lot of Balls his first two years, a bit of a head case but nothing too bad. Guess if i got to choose between the two i would go with Hill, he is also an area of need. being big, strong and Fast does not always translate into being a good football player. If you did not dominate in a non BCS confrence to me you are not worth a high pick.

That is just a silly comment. vanderbilt is an amazing school Heck UGA is considered one of the leading centers for the fight against Cancer. I can name more, but if you have someone who is fighting Cancer, you should eat your words quickly. The SEC has very prestigious universities. Yes some of the football players and other big sports turn out guys that will never be doctors or lawyers. You could say the same thing about ACC, Big East, Big Ten and so on... If the kid has a learning disablity then that says something. Marcel Dareus seems like a very well spoken intelligent person. Keep spreading stereo types that are long gone.

I have not seen him lose his cool like that. he cost his team a t.o.

Belichick hates losing to Buffalo. You saw it last year when the Bills beat him at home. He went Ape Sh*t on the side lines at the end. I do not know why, maybe because of the Lawyer Malloy move? I agree he isn't just countering the Bills, but i do think Belichick is very smart. He knows the league thinks how you stop the Pats is to follow the Giants approach. So he is taking steps to counter it. But unless he can give Brady a shot of courage, its useless. Brady is a tremendous talent, but he can be rattled. He is not Brett Favre. Brett loved it when you hit him, it would fire him up more. Brady sulks and yells at his line. This is why i do not like Brady. It is football, even Qb's should be tough.

Haha! They make a mean Monte Cristo though.

Exactly, great skills but doesn't comprehend where his teammates are. I am sorry but you should be a complete player for your position if you are selected in the top 10. Rewarding someone who did not try sends a bad message to the rest of the players in H.S and College.

This is sad. Can teams ask him to read for them? I mean at the combine they all got a chance to interview him. I know with QB's they usually make them do film study and even 'chalk time'. So either- A.He can not read/'slow' OR B. He didn't try. If he slips to 10 i think you gotta let him keep going?

But those guys had a much bigger body of work to look at, except Newton, and he was a freak of nature and just won the N.C. I get what you are saying and i am glad the Bills are not taking that gamble. Could work out and hope it does, as long as he doesn't go to the Fins and becomes the next Marino. ha

Really? I just do not get that. I mean scouts for teams are out there the entire year at games. Tannehill has been on people's radar for over a year. You are going to tell me that since the end of the season till now he has moved up that far? Or is it that media guys do not have good contacts with teams to know how they feel a player projects? Where does all this stuff come from through out the year. For awhile people been saying he is a late first to second round player. He could go 4 or he could go 44 i have no clue. But it sounds like there is a lot of people unsure of how good the kid is. I think that if you take him in the top 10 you are gambling. He has 19 starts at QB in college. He is going to need atleast one year maybe two to develope. And then you hope the potential was worth the pick. Goes against the in the top 10 you should get a starter from day one. RG and Luck are going to start the first play of 2012 season, barring injury. you can destroy a guy if you throw him to the dogs before he is ready for it.

Yeah, when he said the 'we've been talkin gto him all along' i kinda inferred he meant Nix. that is my bad. And yes i do think it helps the Bills the longer he sits there unsigned. I was worried that some team was going to offer him a huge deal because of his age and potential. But it looks like teams have gotten smarter and not willing to throw a ton of money at an oft injured Olineman. Especially when the latest injury directly correlates with him being not the strongest guy. Bell will probably sign a one or two year deal, heavy on incentives for staying active on the roster. If he does so then he gets his big payday after that one. The only other thing they, him and his agent, could be thinking is lets see who gets injured. If he is unsigned by draft maybe he decides to see what happens with ota and mini camps.
