  1. I just want to know who's going to be the odd man out in the event that the Bills draft a RB in the 4th round or earlier. If that were to happen, the only two who are really safe would be Fred and whomever the draft pick is. That leaves Spiller vs. Dixon for the last roster spot (with as many WRs we have, i doubt they keep 4 RBs).

     

    So I think consensus would be that Dixon would be sent packing, but why? No chance Spiller resigns here. I'm not a Spiller hater but he certainly has not lived up to the hype he had out of college and has only had one really productive year (I don't include this year due to the injuries but kudos to him making up for lost time at the end of the season).

     

    Therefore I think the Bills should be shopping him hard in and around the draft. If we could get a second round pick for him, that'd be stellar.

  2. It's one of those rare years that I'm not so worried about the Bills messing up. Last year I really didn't want the Bills to take either of the guards or Geno Smith, luckily they didn't (although the jury is still out on him).

     

    There have been years that I'd have a list of ten or so prospects I was worried out of my mind about the Bills drafting. This year, I have just minor concerns about the Bills taking Dix or one of the QBs. I even have a little apprehension about Ebron; he's a great talent but he drops a lot of passes. Given the choice between him and Evans, I'll take Evans.

  3. Fact of the matter is we got better today. It's the equivalent of finding a starting caliber wide out in the sixth round. Kid is from Buffalo so any off the field issues he may have might be calmed now that he's with his family here. Not a huge contract, but we dont have cap issues anyway. love it.

  4. I mean Jake Matthews is not a for sure goner at nine. The Bucs trade with us might be an indication that Tampa wants Evans, setting up what the bears have in Marshall and Jeffries, but with Evans and Jackson. Matthews seemed like the guy for Tampa but now I'm not so sure.

  5. As much as I'd like getting both Evans and Nicholas, it'd be pretty shocking if the Bills didn't go with an OT in the first two rounds.

     

    Mine goes:

     

    1. WR Mike Evans, Texas A&M.

    2. OT Cyrus Kouandijo, Alabama.

    3. SLB Shayne Skov, Stanford.

    4. OG Anthony Steen, Alabama.

  6. The Bills wanted D-Jax, didn't get him. The Bills wanted Kenny Britt, didn't get him. I think both of these moves were meant to bring in a number one receiver (you can debate whether Britt is a number one WR but he's a big target). The Bills know their need for a big target, they've said it several times since the end of last year.

     

    They also know the importance of giving Manuel all the tools he needs to succeed. If Evans is on the board at nine there's no way they don't take him.

  7. Why only open this up to local Tax Payers, open this up to BILLS Nation, I’m sure there are many other devoted Bills fans that have moved out of WNY that are willing to be part of doing what it take to keep the BILLS where they belong, plus a small ROI which they can turn around and invest in season tickets or the NFL package for those of us who purchase it just so we can see our BILLS. (800,000 local, but maybe 8mil world wide?)

     

    Exactly. Even as a college student I'd pitch in some funds for sure. They could do a program where you donate "X" amount and you get a seat with a name plate on it.
