He also said that he's expected to come in and "start" which I interpret as 10-15 carries per game, 5 catches per game, and return duties.

And by the way-606 rushes in college, ZERO FUMBLES! http://espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=192151

Everyone on both networks loved the pick.

Draft a RT/OG who went 14 picks later at #9 and pay him like a LT? Great idea.

So Nix is a jackass for not picking a mid 20s value player with the 9th pick?

And how excited did Jared Odrick look to be going to Miami? Or Demaryius Thomas to Denver? They were pretty stonefaced as well. Should Dolphins and Broncos fans develop an inferiority complex about their teams/cities as well?

Which helps your argument how?

You're right. The best way to turn the Bills around is to pass on true top ten talents for "meh" players who weren't even picked until the mid 20s. String together 3 or 4 drafts of panicky reaches and the Bills will undoubtedly become contenders right?

Terrible pick. 20 TDs of over 50 yards? That doesn't sound like anything the Bills could use.

Bills fan freak out when the team reaches for players to fill needs. Bills fan freak out when the team picks the best player available.

Levy-Jauron started off by reaching for a player while Nix-Gailey drafted the BPA. I don't see any comparison.

I don't think so because the Bills rushed to the podium to make the pick.

Maybe someone trades up for Earl Thomas or Eric Berry and we get Tebow in the teens?

It's obvious that the Bills treating Lynch with kid gloves has been a big mistake so maybe last season's benching and then showing Lynch how little value he has on the trade market will actually motivate him to turn around his career.

Could be I suppose. Modrak spoke glowingly about him at the luncheon. Players do fly up the draft boards, just look at CB Kyle Wilson who is now a possibility at #7.

I used to think the Bills were a lock to take an OT at 9 but now I really have no idea what they'll do. They could take Spiller, Tebow, Clausen, D. Williams, McClain, D. Morgan, Anthony Davis, or Dez Bryant and I wouldn't be shocked at all.

How many playoff appearances did Marshall help lead the Broncos to? Zero. The Broncos were exactly .500 during the Brandon Marshall era and that was with Mike Shanahan and Jay Cutler. But I'm supposed to believe the AFC East balance of power has been shifted in their favor because he's now teamed up with Tony Sparano and Chad Henne? He's a good receiver, he'll get his catches and scores his TDs-but that doesn't mean Miami is going to win more games. And also, are people forgetting that with a playoff berth on the line Marshall had to be suspended for the last week of the 2009 season? Sounds like the kind of guy who will handle being the highest paid WR in the NFL well.

I think it was the Frank Grimes episode.

You mean these big splashy moves that everyone is obsessing about don't always pan out? I'm shocked.

In 2007 the 49ers signed Pro-Bowler Nate Clements, Pro-Bowler Michael Lewis, and Darrell Jackson while drafting Patrick Willis and Joe Staley in the first round. All the "experts" lauded the moves and were jocking SF as a darkhorse team in the NFC. They finished the season at 5-11, two wins less then they managed the season before. Relax.

I feel like Tebow will be a Jim Harbaugh/Doug Flutie type who will win a decent amount of games without putting up huge numbers.

I wouldn't be surprised if they traded down into the late teens and coming away with something like this- 1)Tebow 2)Saffold 2)jerry hughes 3)Cam Thomas

But you have to wonder whether the Bills are willing to pay a RT "LT money" the 9th pick would command.
