Koshinski says it all.

Maybe I missed something, and if so I apologize, but WTF does Koshinski have to do with any of this?

Unless you like him better than Manuel then why bother? A decent backup is available for far less than a #2 pick. Personally, the only QB I'd take a shot at would be Johnny Football and he'll be gone by then.

I'd take him. Certainly seems to have more potential than Lewis or Tuel. Would depend what the price was.

The Bills will NOT move up in the first round. The Bills are more than one player away and the price is way too high to move up for anyone other than a QB. The Bills will NOT draft a WR in the first 3 rounds. The Bills have plenty of young talent at WR that they want to see develop. These are obvious smoke screens.

These are pretty low times, no question. Probably the worst in my memory. The Kelly thing does it for me. Mr. Wilson was 95 after all. He had a great, full life and you can't live forever. But Jim's illness, especially to hear what they're saying about it - "aggressive", "inoperable"... It's very tough to hear.

I would say that following the Alex Smith career path and reaching his level would be the best case scenario for Sanchez. I think that he may have it in him but things would have to break perfectly for him over the next two or three years. More likely, he will bounce around a couple of teams and be out of the league within 3 years.

The Bills won't pick him up, IMO, which is good for both sides. If Sanchez can land somewhere with a good QB friendly coach and scheme then he has a decent chance to salvage his career. I never thought the Jets under Ryan had a very creative offense.

I think you mean anomalies maybe? I guess that they could be misnomers too because there aren't really bears and ravens on the team. I always say that you try to put your best players on the field regardless of position (within reason) and devise a scheme to make it work. Pettine got a lot of improvement from the same players that everyone before floundered with. We'll see what Schwartz does with them.

Shaub is gone. Fitz will start next season while they groom their new #1 overall pick QB. Then Fitz moves to backup. It's a good plan but who knows how it will all play out.

How often did Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs come off the field for Baltimore? Or Urlacher and Briggs in Chicago? If you have to play people that are either weak vs the run or the pass then versatile offenses will be able to exploit it. Also, if you're going to play a 4-3 defense then the MLB is the key position and apparently Alonso is moving to OLB so to have a role player as your MLB doesn't sound too promising.

Exactly my opinion as well. I think he would be a good fit for Pettine in Cleveland as long as his injury didn't set him back athletically.

Not if the other linebacker is also a 3 down guy, like Luke Kuechly for example.

The difference between playing a slot CB like Graham, who plays the run like a safety, and using 3 safeties with someone like Aaron Williams, who used to be a cornerback, covering one of the slot receivers seems academic to me. It does seem like a way to try and cover for the loss of Byrd to some degree by allowing A Williams to sit back at safety most/all of the time while Graham takes the coverage role.

If CJ is not in the plans then they should fire Marrone. CJ is more valuable to the Bills than Marrone is.

Bridgewater is going to the Texans at #1. Bank on it. Also, I wonder what they see in Moats? It seems like he was one of the few players who regressed under Pettine's leadership.

Good coaches fit their scheme to their talent. It's why Pettine can come in here and help half the defense have career years by changing the scheme around, while Marrone/Hacket can come in and make even guys who were top league talents like Spiller look bad. What the Bills need is an OC who finds ways to use his players effectively not one one trades them because they "don't fit" into what he is trying to do.

How did it work out for the Lions the last few years? This makes me wonder about Schwartz a little to tell you the truth.

It'll be interesting to see how the fans respond to this guy. I certainly am not buying and Spikes shirts. Maybe while they're at it they should look into Richie Incognito. He fills a need and would fall right into to the dirty, low character mold that everyone seems to love. Don't play dumb. Don't play dirty.

Please pass on Spikes. The guy's a dirty player. It's hard for me to forget his flexing at the Bills sideline after he injured Fred Jackson a couple of seasons ago. Taking him will only make it harder for me to root for this team. Besides that, he's not really that good. He's a liability in coverage and what the Bills really need is a big time, full time MLB to anchor what looks to be a base 4-3 defense next season not some guy that plays 10 downs a game and not at all vs opponents that spread the field all the time. Try to draft one. Forget Spikes.

I agree with this. Does he really have less potential than Lewis or Tuel? He certainly has a lot more playing experience while still being young enough to develop. I think he'd be a substantial upgrade for the backup position.

Just draft a guard. If he becomes good then let him go via FA to save money. If he becomes mediocre then you've hit on a long term Bills starter.

So the Bills don't sign Andy Levitre to a new deal because they don't think guards aren't worth the kind of money he was asking but then turn around and sign a different FA guard the following year for a similar salary? And the new guy wasn't even a full time starter with his previous team? Seems very unlikely.

These are really bad. Way too busy and cluttered. Can you image an entire team wearing one of these at the same time?

It's impossible to assess the WRs based on last season given the mediocre QB play. And the season before he was a rookie so I'll give him a pass.
