I knew we'd be heading for the Music City Miracle in this thread.

Congrats!

I have as many qualifications to post my opinion on this board as trolls and ignoramuses like you. I think that Andy Reid and the Eagles staff forgot more about football than you will ever know and the 50 sports writers who vote for the All Pro team have watched more football that you will in your entire life time. So pardon me if I don't believe my own eyes, professional coaches and sports writers over an "expert" like you.

Please. When is this sour grapes non-sense about Peters going to end? He made a crazy salary demand. The Bills didn't yield to his wishes. Now he plays for Philadelphia. He is very good. The Bills don't have an incumbent LT. It is what it is. Let's not pretend that a few people on this website know the real story and the rest of the world is crazy.

Florence is better than Rogers and McKelvin for sure and we haven't seen Gilmore or Brooks play a down so this isn't about putting the best players on the field, IMO. Why not wait until you see what the new guys can do, at least in training camp, before you release a starter? Makes no sense to me.

If Kelsay could play RDE it would solve some problems, but I think that he will have trouble making the switch. I think Anderson will start at RDE and play most of the snaps. Bills may think about pulling Dareus or K Williams in obvious passing downs, dropping M Williams down to DT and lining Kelsay (or Merriman) up as the other DE. Other than that I see Kelsay's playing time as way down, which is too bad because he's the third best DE on the team right now.

Yes he does. VERY ripped.

That statement, in a nutshell, sums up many of the threads on TBD. Doesn't mean that they're not fun to.peruse

DEs: Williams, Kelsay, Anderson, Merriman, Edwards, Batten. I doubt that the Bills are gong to keep 6 DEs and Batten is the worst player in the group. Bills might want to think about shopping Moats and Batten around for a case of beer or something as opposed to having to cut them for *literally* nothing.

He looks like a PS alright. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I said that "I thought Hairston showed quite a bit of promise". Not that he was a solid LT. I think the odds are much better that Hairston, with a year of experience and offseason conditioning, is a better player this season that Glenn coming in cold as a rookie. If you don't get that then I don't know what else to tell you.

I'm not expert so we'll see, but I think it's a lot to ask of a rookie to come in a start at LT in the NFL. Plus I think you may be selling Hairston short. I thought he showed quite a bit of promise himself last season.

Only because he is one of the weak links. QB- Statistically and in regards to wins & losses, he is a journeyman QB. Journeyman QBs RARELY win championships. WR- Still need the guy who's "not covered when he's covered" + another speed guy TE- currently no big play potential LB- Jury's out on Morrison and Sheppard, IMO. Drafted players mostly for depth not starters.

McKelvin's biggest problem is located between his shoulders and his head, since he appears incapable of turning his neck to find the ball when it is thrown to his receiver. If he could just remove the bolts and free up his neck he would be a very good cover man because he is usually in good position.

It's a good pick. LT, RT or G, there should be a spot for him on the line in a year or two. He's the developmental guy that Buddy was looking for. It looks like it's Hairston's show next season.

Drafting a safety with the top pick would be something I would expect from Dick Jauron, not Buddy Nix.

Just the fact that this thread exists shows too much disrespect to George Wilson for my taste. The guy was having a pro-bowl type year before he got hurt and now people are proposing to use the Bills top pick on his replacement? Is this guy really THAT good?

The fact that he is a bad commentator has nothing to do with his ability (or not) to coach. Bill Walsh was a terrible commentator while guys like Lee Corso are very good ones.

I'm surprised to see so many Cs. Any draft where you pickup 3 solid starters is a very good draft. I don't think too many other NFL teams did better than that. It's a B... at least. BTW- Maybin and Lankster are currently depth players for the Jets, so 5 players still in the league including 3 starters out of 8 picks.

Elite pickup at an area of need. Not a franchise changer like Reggie White was (even though they paid him like one) but definitely helps Buffalo's credibility. Along with Wanny, he should help make the Bills D more tolerable to watch this season. In the end he's only one player, and not even the most important player on the team (QB), so don't expect miracles from him, just championship level play at LDE.

I still give that to the '85 Bears D. That Raven's D showed up big in the playoffs and Super Bowl but it was Kerry Collins...

Personally, I would put QB at P2 as well but it doesn't seem like a high priority for the Bills. Seems strange to me that you could be satisfied with a Fitz and Thigpen as your top two QBs but that appears to be the case. If I'm not mistaken you also have CB as a P2, no? Not to sure about that.

The best is that the broadcaster keeps talking like everything is ok.

:lol: That was priceless. He was moving his legs alright.

The key difference, IMHO, is that the Bills seem intent on replacing Bell. Bell has frequently been in Gailey's doghouse while Nix talks about Bell's durability and drafting LTs. If Bell stayed here and the Bills drafted a new LT in the top couple of picks then there would be 3 possible candidates for starting LT and there would be a realistic chance of him not getting to "showcase his abilities". I think that Bell just decided that he was better off somewhere else where he was basically guaranteed to start rather that battling for the job in Buffalo.
