what did he say?
my personal jury is out, but here is mr graham's analysis on the AFC East
http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nflnation?tag=a...20analysis%2009
The Buffalo Bills -- stuck on 7-9 for three straight seasons -- made some head-scratching picks, ignoring tackle and loading up on defensive backs, a position that was relatively healthy.Riskiest moveThe Buffalo Bills traded Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters a week before the draft and didn't select a tackle.
You can look at this three ways: 1) the Bills are confident veteran Langston Walker and second-year project Demetrius Bell can handle the tackle positions; 2) they might be working on a trade for someone Levi Jones after the Cincinnati Bengals drafted Andre Smith; or 3) Buffalo's front office doesn't know what it's doing.
Buffalo went with Penn State defensive end Aaron Maybin, Louisville center Eric Wood, Oregon defensive back Jairus Byrd, Oregon State guard Andy Levitre, Southern Miss tight end Shawn Nelson, Oklahoma linebacker/safety Nic Harris, Southern California cornerback Cary Harris and West Virginia cornerback Ellis Lankster.
Maybin and Wood can easily be justified as first-round choices. But the Bills are adding a variable to Wood's future by moving him to guard after he started 49 straight games as Louisville's center.
What's with all the defensive backs?
The Bills seemed to have their secondary penciled out heading into the draft: Terrence McGee and Leodis McKelvin or Drayton Florence at cornerback and Donte Whitner, Bryan Scott and George Wilson at safety.
McKelvin was the 11th player chosen overall last year. He is expected to step in for Jabari Greer, a free agent who went to the New Orleans Saints. The Bills brought in Florence for help. Ashton Youboty and Reggie Corner also are on the roster.
Whitner was the eighth overall pick in 2006.
Within the next nine picks after the Bills selected Levitre, three tackles went off the board. The Minnesota Vikings took Oklahoma's Phil Loadholt. The New England Patriots drafted Houston's Sebastian Vollmer. The New York Giants chose Connecticut's Will Beatty.

russ brandon answering questions about personnel is my worst nightmare

So get you head out of your ass.
wow, settle down. if you take someone mentioning Bradford that seriously, you need to get a life.
-
No Bradford. Build the lines.
youre probably right. you look around at teams who have picked the top QB's every year and all those years spin their tires. Except in a rare case like Manning, but it was obvious he was a once in an era QB.
-
the good news is maybe we will get a few top 4 picks in the next few seasons...
-
If all this is true and they are unloading a number of players to make room for rookies, maybe this means that the Bills are in an actual rebuild mode, which is a good thing, instead of patchwork FA acquisitions to maintain a 6-10 - 8-8 standard.
If this is the case I wouldnt mind tanking for 2 seasons to see some real top level draft picks come in. Sam Bradford the Bills QB of the future.

just booked my trip at the end of June. Nothing like the desert in the middle of summer
And yes, to whoever mentioned Pai Gow Poker.

You have to qualify for the Boston Marathon, and the time you have to hit is pretty tough.
Im running the Buffalo half marathon on Memorial Day, and Im going to give the Toronto Marathon a shot in the fall. Running a marathon is very possible for almost anyone with the right mindset. The Boston Marathon is a whole different animal

I agree with a lot of that stuff Badolbills. When we have an acting GM who is in way over his head like this, disaster will be created. As of now I see a 4-12. or 5-11 record if they get lucky. Sadly, they will likely not get a football man who has an idea on how to build a team, so this year wont be bottoming out.
-
i dont know the stats on it, but it seemed like every crucial penalty on the O-Line.... when it wasnt Duke "IQ" Preston, was always Peters. Cant blame that on a 'skittish QB'.

is it out of the question that Fine and/or Schoumann can adequately handle the job?
-
maybe they arent planning on forcing many punts this year?
They arent near the cap, no? Why not pay the guy this year to have someone explosive returning punts?
-
i would get real excited if the 1st round included the bills getting Oher and Mack. especially if they can pull henderson from jax
-
it is a salary thing with too many WRs now.
I am also in the group who would like to see them keep him.
-
i know a guy named that. i wonder if its him...
can someone link me to Whitner's Facebook? ThanX
-
I am an Oher fan. He is one of 2 or 3 guys who would make me real happy.
How about Oher and Mack, move Hangartner to G.

Russ Brandon is in over his head
Has anyone heard what Ralph thought of his draft?

if its true, its really awful.
I am one of those who question the way Mr. Wilson is 'protecting his legacy' with the Bills.
But this kind of misfortune you never wish on your worst enemy. Hopefully its untrue, and hopefully Ralph is fully healthy. Love him or hate him, imagine him holding a lombardi trophy with a huge smile next to a bunch of celebratory Buffalo Bills. He kind of deserves it.
