This is a legit possibility. I think only one qb goes in first ten picks to Cleveland. So that means a run on the tackles mack Watkins likely gone before we pick. So with the draft deep at OT and WR take the biggest difference maker at his position in the draft. Ebron should be the pick here. LV

No Byrd is not worth 9 mil a year...know why?.... he's a safety....granted a good ballhawking safety but still a safety. You don't tie up that kind of money in Byrd when there's other huge holes to fill plus our own to resign Dareus, etc. Aaron Williams in my opinion will do just fine and I feel is more physical than Byrd. Now that being said Will the Bills do that? who knows and don't discount that Byrd wasn't signing here no matter what. He wants to play for a winner. take the last 14 yrs and counting and you'll see that that is not in Buffalo.

+1 nothing funny about the team you love sucking monkeynuts. call it whining all you want it's tough to deal with.

Bingo Whaley and Co. made a fair market offer to him and he declined. The saints overpayed period. Now that being said let me say if I'm Byrd I would not want to be here either. These players know their window is a small one. I can't blame them for wanting to get a championship with a contender. That is the pinnacle of their profession. Our track record says it all. This team is awful. It's not getting any better and the management team in place will not overspend for free agents. not to mention players don't want to play here because this team sucks. I am a die hard fan as alot of us here are but if I hear you don't overspend for free agents and you build through the draft one more time I will need a bucket. 14 yrs out of the playoffs. How's that philosophy working out for us?

Deep within of course.

DING!!!

Lol I am 100% Ginny myself was yankin his chain.

No buyer's remorse because if by some miracle mack did fall to 9 and the tackles are gone you take him. Though I think he's good enough to start as a rookie, if he's not ready he sits behind someone like spikes and learns.we can still get a WR OT TE in rounds 2-4. This draft is deep but a LB like Mack is an impact guy that you have to take top ten.

Goddam Italians...nothing but trouble since you left the old country.

Mike Mayock said today on NFLN he would take Mack number one overall. What does that tell you. If he's there at 9 we're nuts not to.

The show is produced so well the whole nation will fall in love with the Bills storylines. I'm in.

I have a feeling that if the Bills were winning this would be moot.

This guy is kind if a dirty doosh. Not sure he'd come here and if so I have a feeling the locker room and training camp will be like a ufc octagon. Bring on hard knocks

I admire his courage. He's in for a possible tumultuous draft process with media controversy and ultimately we will see how he is received and treated in the NFL. One thing for sure he has brass stones.

I think having a label on the "base" defense doesn't mean a lot when down and distance a lot of times dictates the set. I will give Marrone and company credit for getting a coach who's strength has been this team's glaring weakness. Here's hoping they bring in a few key players (run stuffing ILB and maybe another beast D lineman) via free agency or the draft and shore up this defense. I am worried about the O though... Gonna be an interesting off season.

Looks like it was to buy some time. If they had a plan it should of been executed immediately one to give the new DC as much time as possible and two so the organization doesn't look like it got caught with its pants around its ankles. (That's what it looks like to me) thoughts? LV

No to Wade simply because he will change scheme. I think this defense if it stays the same with Henderson or O'neill taking over at DC will progress even further as our players will be more comfortable in the scheme. Can we please be smart for once and actually have some scheme continuity? LV

I second that emotion.

Personally I think he came off as a classless Doosh on national TV.....but what do I know?

I disagree. Teams like Buffalo who are not just a player or two away gain value in trading down to mid to late first round and picking up a second. They are in essense hoping for 3 quality players/starters in the first 3 picks. That's how you build a good team. Last year perfect example. Jury still out on EJ but look at Kiko and flash. One starts and one will be very good with more exp. LV

I agree. Find a trade down partner take the TE . Then with the extra second take the best available run stuffing backer and best available road grater OG. We do that and we'd have a great draft.

JW Wish that Marrone didn't show favoritism to Crossman and relieved him of his duties as well. It seems that won't happen and I believe his credibility will suffer for it. It already has with a lot of us here. LV

Started a thread about this last summer. Seems like a lot of tbders have changed their opinion to be pro hard knocks. To be honest the off season which usually starts around Thanksgiving is a dark time. If the Bills don't care about fielding a good product, at least let HBO make it entertaining for us.

I don't think you can give Manuel anything but an incomplete. He did some good things and also some boneheaded rookie things. He also has some mechanical and progression things to work through. I think its important that Marrone gets EJ a good QB coach to workon these things in the ooff season. My gut says the kid will be fine.
