I'd actually be more worried about Ducasse's and Iupati's scores because they are linemen, which is a more complex position than RB (spoken as an ex-lineman). I'm not looking too hard at the Wonderlic for RBs... run to daylight.

My thoughts as well. McKelvin has more big play potential but isn't as solid overall. I think McKelvin will be on a short leash so he better come to training camp ready.

That was his brother Leroy. Levi was the one that kept getting the ball yanked away on field goal attempts by that b#$%! Lucy.

This. What's the harm in bringing him in? If he stinks, then he is cut. If not, then he earns a place on the roster. The Bills aren't going to give up draft picks or anything for him. Same goes for Campbell. Bring one of them in. Unless, of course, you think that the QB position is so solid that there's no chance anyone could improve it ...

Bruce Smith is already the greatest pass rusher of the sack stat era, no question, but the objective of football is to win not get Bruce as many sacks as possible. Reggie was a better overall DE because he was dominant against both the run and the pass, could play multiple positions on the line and won a championship.

The Bills designed their defense around Smith. I remember the Bills doing a lot to free up Smith in passing situations from moving him around (I even remember him playing over the nose in some packages) to bringing in Bennett and Paup to play the opposite side. Smith basically played like a 4-3 DE. He was the primary rusher on his side, not Talley. I doubt that he would've done any better in another defense. He might have had more sacks in a blitz happy defense like the 46 but I doubt he could've had any more impact on the game than he had with the Bills.

You guys make some good points here. All of this reminds me of Greg Williams with the air horn at his first training camp.

Was it better than Jeff George's workout?

Overtime. Games can't end in a tie in the post season.

How dare the Bills GM go to bed! The Bills need to hire a co-GM that can be on the job from 8pm to 8am. That way they can literally be working around the clock.

Was this ever explained? Why was Jauron not in the photo? If he was erased, then why? Other players who were released are still there.

Maybe, but when you consider that it usually takes at least 2 or 3 years for a QB to develop into a high quality starter I'd want to try and get him on our roster ASAP. Besides, after reading the CBS sportsline story on the Bills it looks like our OL is pretty solid

Actually, how about a bottle of Malbec? Quite good...

Would be a good pickup. Hassleback (for 1 or 2 years) + #1 Draft pick (Clausen?) + Fitzpatrick/Brohm as #3. Trade Edwards for a case of beer.

Exactly.

They're trying to set a record for the most draft picks accumulated or maybe they feel sorry for them being stuck in Buffalo.

I sure hope so. Frankly, I after LT and QB it looks like our greatest area of need, IMO.

Then the Bills better start signing some OLBs ASAP because once Schobel retires, I don't see anyone on the roster at any position who can get 9 or 10 sacks.

People are talking a lot about size, and I think it's important too, but I worried about Buffalo's defensive pass rush. If/when Schobel retires, where is the rush going to come from? The Bills haven't brought in any FAs who can bring pressure and if they draft LT, QB and NT early in the draft there will be no help there either.

Yes.

Whatever. The Bills need a lot more that a Vikings backup DL to turn the corner. I don't think they are going to sign any big name free agents so it's really all about keeping the few good players they have and the draft. It will probably take a few seasons, but that's really the only way this franchise will ever get it done. (IMHO)

So, where's the pass rush going to come from? This is not as good a pass rush group as the Bills had last year (Williams is better than "Fat Draftee" and Kelsay is a better pass rusher than Kennedy. The rest is the same. If Schobel retires, then I really wonder who's going to provide the pass rush... Joey Porter?

Not good. I thought this guy actually had good RT potential, at least as a backup.

He's not great but, unfortunately, he's better than most of the other OLB prospects currently on our team. I don't see why you would get rid of him until you have someone else you want to start instead.
