That was fast. They must like Woods. Solid pick.

I'm hoping that Manuel vs Smith will be an epic rivalry in years to come.

Yeah right now I'm feeling better about the WR options. I just hope some good ones make it to us.

i am cringing after those last two picks (ertz and hunter). I wanted both....badly.

*snore* I'm sorry, is the OP finished? I'm not going to say we're elite, or that Levitre leaving doesn't hurt a bit, but the type of scheme we're going to run is predicated on short, accurate passes. With Manuel doing read option and with Spiller and Freddy do to screens, I have a feeling that the O-line is going to be getting a lot of help. Well played!

Seriously, that was just damn impressive. The man had accuracy and release like I couldn't believe. He had such perfect touch on 20 yard, back foot passes over defenders that he beat out Kaepernick at the drill. I don't know about dominated...but seriously, we got VERY good value out of the trade to St. Louis at the same time we prevented the Jets from getting a prized acquisition and then waited out for the guy who Buddy clearly wanted to take at #8, but would have gotten no end of grief from fans for taking so early. I was also found this interesting from the Nix/Marrone Q&A:

I'm loving how our second round situation looks. We have our QB, and Cleveland, Philadelphia, Jacksonville and NYJ's, the people who were being eyed to take a QB, don't. I'm shocked at Minter and Te'o dropping, and unless we have Dansby for sure, one of those two would be hard to ignore. If we have Dansby, then Ertz, Woods and Hunter would all be extremely welcome picks.

This. I have a feeling that any trade bait we might have had at 16 was sent tumbling by the fact that so many good players were getting by that teams didn't have to risk trading down to get incredible value. Unless we somehow packaged an amazing deal to move to the top of round two, while many teams there would have zero incentive to do so, I could easily see the Jets, Eagles and Browns taking Geno, Nassib and Manuel before we had a chance to lift a finger. We got an extra second, got back a 7th, moved back 7 spaces in the third and got (probably) the same guy they wanted by waiting. We saw a guy we liked, we took him, and we got more value back for our efforts than even I dreamed. Agreed on the process part. For once, I have no qualms with Buddy's maneuverings.

I suspect Kolb will *start* on opening day. Manuel's biggest knock is that he needs coaching, and time to learn a new system. Kolb already has more time to practice the system and is more polished a passer so I think our man right now. Who our starter is if, true to form, Kolb gets injured some time during the season? I have no doubt Manuel can learn.

YES!!! *Does pelvic thrust dance* Hoped for it, and the trade we made makes me happy.

Agree! Floyd and Star are free, as well as Jarvis Jones and I'm shocked that they've fallen this far. The Bills don't need them, but they make such wonderful trade bait.

OK debate time. Now, do we wait until round 2 for a QB or not?

Holy crap...all the big name D-line picks keep falling back. Seriously, does anyone know a team that wants to move up to grab one?

Mein Gott...another tackle. Seriously, with Floyd dropping like a stone, I think Detroit may be the big winner. They trade from 3 to 12 and may get the shot at the ame guy.

Debate here. If the Jets go past 13 w/o taking a QB...which means most QB needy teams wait until round 2...do we wait?

Phenomenal deal. We get two picks, and a slight reduction in the order of our third pick and the guy goes out of the conference.. Best draft move I've seen the Bills do in years

This is great. Anyone know the details?

YES!!! St. Louis trade!!!!!!

Please trade back...please trade back...

Holy crap Cooper?!? Man, the Bills have so many picks...I have to wonder if it might be worth waiting now...

Bills on the clock. Prepare "Doom" calls...

Mingo? Wow...now Star or Floyd could slide to the Bills. Interesting.

OK, Dee Milinner is still open...so is Tavon Austin. Plenty of trade bait left.

Well...that's all three OT's...

I'm shocked. I was sure Johnson was going to go, and I'm a little surprised they moved up to get him.
