Non-Bills Buffalo sports trivia: Marty Biron wore 00 as an 18/19 year old rookie for the Sabres. 00 was then outlawed in the NHL due to a bug in their statistic keeping software, with the rule being known as the "Biron rule".

Reuben Randle is a borderline late 1st round pick, depending on how the top of the draft plays out. I'm not saying he should be, mind you, but he's gotta be gone before the 3rd begins let alone the 4th.

OJ Simpson was traded to San Francisco for a 1st round pick, which was used to take LB Tom Cousineau. Cousineau never played for the Bills but his rights were sent to Cleveland for a 1st round pick in 1983... which was used to draft Jim Kelly. OJ Simpson essentially traded for Jim Kelly, You can also trace Mike Grier back to the late Rick Martin, via trades. That stretched from the Sabres 2nd season in 1971 to the 2006-07 season, unless you include Grier's 2nd stint which ended with his retirement last year.

Thurman Thomas tweeted this a little while ago, which I thought was both funny and awesome: Thurman Thomas ‏ @thurmanthomas I remember Greg Lloyd telling #12 b4 the game he was going to knock the **** out of him, and Jim saying, bring it MoFo.... Classic Jimbo

How do you know Buddy didn't "at least talk to his agent and find out what kind of money he is looking for"? Did he tell you?

According to the figures on Jason LaCanfora's blog the team with the highest "team cash" (actual cash spent) is the Philadelphia Eagles at about $140,000,000. At $136,000,000 the 2nd highest team cash figure belongs to... the Buffalo Bills. http://blogs.nfl.com/2012/03/30/salary-cap-situation-for-each-team/ Ralph is cheap.

Ben Volin ‏ @BenVolinPBP According to Broward County Sheriffs Office, #Dolphins LB Koa Misi was arrested on battery charges http://bit.ly/H44vDz http://sheriff.org/apps/arrest/details.cfm?id=8543bf5f-5fb1-4e66-a972-832e425d1caa&key=92DD88157FFEE016D9FFF8C20B175708&page=1&lname=MISI&fname=

FWIW, Bill Polian also loves Tannehill: Alex Marvez ‏ @alexmarvez Bill Polian is big #RyanTannehill fan. "Perfect West-Coast QB in sense can throw on run&make things happen when pocket breaks down"#Dolphins

JohnnyGold clearly said no such thing. He merely used examples involving Buffalo, nothing more.

Jay Glazer ‏ @JayGlazer Following up a @mortreport that Sean Payton asked Bill Parcells to be interim HC, the 2 are planning to meet in FL this wk to discuss

FWIW, Scouts, Inc. doesn't have Patrick Walker listed in their top 208 WRs coming out this year. Then again, Wes Welker was an UFA. He may be a guy they pick in the 7th round if he's drafted at all.

This blurb per Rotoworld: "This guy had a second-round grade at one point," noted NFL Net's Charley Casserly. Burfict is going to work out for NFL teams again next week, but he's been out of shape and thoroughly underwhelming throughout the pre-draft process. We wouldn't expect Burfict to be drafted before the sixth round. Mar. 23 - 7:07 pm et

I suppose I wouldn't really look at it as low balling if the open market seems to agree with Buddy's stance. Obviously no one's willing to throw starting LT money at an injury prone guy like Bell or he'd be signed somewhere by now. He's being offered fair value for where he is now at in his career: a quality starting caliber LT entering his prime with durability concerns.

According to Matthew Elder @BillsDraft the Bills have a strong interest in Patrick Walker, who is described as being similar to Roscoe Parrish: 5' 8", 184 lbs, athletic WR with "greased lightning" speed. It's not shocking they'd have interest in such a WR considering how much Roscoe figured into Gailey's offensive plans before injury derailed him each of the past two seasons. Walker is the opposite of what Nix has publicly stated the Bills were interested in in regards to a big physical WR---Would they draft two WRs, though? Is that out of the realm of possibility? http://www.buffalobillsdraft.com/2012/03/northern-colorado-wr-patrick-walker-interview/

I was curious if the Bills felt confident in Levitre at LT and would then take DeCastro. That may be the best of the possible post draft line combinations, provided Levitre is best suited for LT, long term.

Trying to make sense of that "took the sails out of my wind".

I thought the bulk of last season was his best year so far--- he's become a much more complete player. Certainly luck plays a role in takeaways, but he has a knack for being around the ball, and with a vastly improved front 7 I fully expect his interception totals to increase.

One final note from PFF. Though he was credited with 10 sacks on the season, the film reviewers at Pro Football Focus felt he should’ve been credited for being in on 15. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2012/03/21/what-is-the-anderson-role/

NickBarnett ‏ @NickBarnett B. Scott signed just had lunch with Mark Anderson looks like he likes B-Lo too

Jill Kelly ‏ @HJKforever Jim just explained to me that #timtebow had no control over the Jets decision. "Do you really think he wanted to go to the Jets." #WOW

Buscaglia is referring to a conversation he just had with Bryan Scott: Joe Buscaglia ‏ @JoeB_WGR Bryan also told me he just got off the phone with Mark Anderson. Said he doesn't know what the outcome will be, but Mark was excited. #Bills

You can tell Mark Anderson isn't quite as coveted as Mario Willians. The Bills had Mario visit with Jim Kelly. They took Mark Anderson to visit Joe Dufek.

He did have back surgery at some point last season, but this is what I was referring to: ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Saturday that former Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback David Garrard, who was released on the eve of the NFL season, is not interested in playing for Miami Dolphins. Garrard says the Dolphins were one of the teams that contacted him after his Sept. 6 release and contacted him again after Chad Heene injured his shoulder against the San Diego Chargers. Garrard said the Dolphins "were not willing to guarantee me the kind of money that reflects a real commitment." Without a reasonable financial commitment, Garrard said he was not willing to embrace the Dolphins' 0-4 start. http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2011-10-08/sports/sfl-miami-dolphins-garrard-1008_1_qb-david-garrard-jacksonville-jaguars-quarterback-miami-dolphins

41... by Moats, alone

Sounds like a Nix pick, hopefully in the 2nd round.
