I don't think any top 5 head coach goes 0-6 in his own division... Jauron is a highly thought of MAN, not HC. Yes he's very organized but he's a deer in the headlights come game day. He'd be an awesome assistant.

California and Louisville are obviously interchangeable. August 14th...

I will remain skeptical of him until there are some on field results.

If they did want him, WAY TO STICK IT TO EM! If they didn't, we still got a good player. Win Win!

They would be talking about whatever team Sanchez went to - he's one of the most charismatic guys to come into the pro's in a while. It just happened to be be the Jets and Greeney is a homer - good for him. Also, how could you NOT talk about the pool of chaos that is the Raiders. Good draft for us - actually addressing positions of need. GO BILLS!

nice

To be fair, early first round picks are usually towards the highest or THE highest paid at their respective position. There needs to be a cap on rookie signings... way too much money to invest in a player who hasn't played a single professional down.

Welcome to the board! I could be swayed by your post but I'd be interested to see where you found that info. I'm very much 'on the fence' about the O-Line. If it is the case that the rush offense was always best running behind him than he is an answer a very big question.

I definitely gave Reed a lot of grief in his early years. Lots of drops and overall wasn't very reliable. Today, he's the go to guy on 3rd down. Not only is he good at blocking, he LIKES to block. I enjoy watching him piss off DB's over the course of the game by getting up in their face. I wish the rest of our OLine would take after that nasty streak...

DE, OT, OG/C, OLB, TE

That boat already sank, got repaired, and sank again.

I don't think you were supposed to be - those plays were the evidence that he sucked last year.

No that was the PLAN! Release Peters so we'd have more than enough cap space to sign Boldin - assuring our success since a teams chances of winning increases with every wide receiver you add! /sarcasm Aside from this not making a whole lot of sense, the Bills are too stingy.

Thanks for the post good read I'm with a majority here - I'd be OK with this up to the third round where we should take a TE.

I think it's fair to say they screwed us even if it wasn't intentional. Willis was THE player I was hoping they'd take from the draft and he was taken 1 pick before us. That's getting screwed (even if there is no spite).

Do you mean two additional playmakers to go with Stroud or am I off in my assumption that he is one of the two you refer to? If that's the case if Raji would fall would you be a fan of the Raji(DT)/ Larry English(DE) first round or if Raji doesn't fall Orakpo(DE)/Jerry(DT) combo? With the mocks that have been thrown around it's possible that Mack might still be available in rd2 for us to grab. If that was the case and I wouldn't mind that situation (especially after reading the article from http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=87418).

I was thinking along the same lines earlier today, not specifically with Curry but for the best player that we could draft at that position. I remember SCREAMING (manly scream mind you) when they took P. Willis before us. I still think to that pick and wonder what could have been.

Yeah I should have taken the deans advice - who I'd like the bills to draft changes daily

I feel like we have more proven talent on the D-Line than the O-Line which is why I'm not so convinced. I'm not as confident with Walker at LT despite the good performance that he showed early last season. He's big and not all that fast. I can just picture Joey Porter flying by him (much like peters this past year) and nabbing about 5 sacks. I'm a fan of Butler, and from what I've heard of Hangartner he's done well against big guys. I don't know if a lot of people are banking on Bell and Chambers but I really consider both of them unproven as well. Chambers would fill in now and again all throughout last year and did OK, but it wasn't an every down situation. Will he wear out by mid season if he's playing every offensive down? With the D-Line i can see us surviving with the Williams and Johnson rotation next to Stroud (although Henderson would make me giddy) with the biggest hole needing to be filled where Kelsay is. With Kelsay you know you're going to at least get a guy who can play against the run, but on O I still see ?'s at G and T. I don't think anybody on our roster can handle full time assignments at those positions.

It seems like the Bills 2 major areas that need to be addressed are the lines on either side of the ball. Which is further in the hole and should be addressed first in the draft? On offense, 3 starters are now gone 2 of which have been "replaced" with Hangartner(sp) and McKinny. The right side of the line is still intact with Walker and Butler but could be shuffled now that everybody else is gone. On defense we have the beast Stroud, an older and recovering Schobel whose effectiveness is coming into question, Kyle Williams who is either penetrating or getting blown up, and Kelsay who is overpaid and underproductive. Neither is in great shape so I'd like to hear what everybody else thinks.

I tried the church thing and it wasn't for me. Great ideas on how to live your life as a good person but not all that great with the implementation of those ideas.

1: Mark Sanchez - Seattle (4) 2: Michael Crabtree - Oakland (7) 3: Brandon Pettigrew - Atlanta (24) 4: BJ Raji - Cleveland (5) 5: Brian Orakpo 49ers (10)

I wouldn't be all that surprised to see Curry go #1 instead of Stafford. Apparently Culpepper has come into training camp having lost a bunch of weight and looks pretty good. That along with the Lions Defense being in desperate need for a playmaker makes me think they could switch it up at the #1!

I'd be OK with a 'tough up front' kind of team. An O-Line that would be willing to smash you in the face regardless of the call and a D-Line that causes some havoc in the backfield.
