Never in a million years do I want TO. He will not work out with Edwards one bit as he his roasted every QB he has ever had throwing to him, and that's just what we can't have for Edwards' confidence. Secondly, he's such a character issue he just melts the team down around him, sure we might get one good year out of him, but that's it. TO could swear on his mothers' life that he would be a model citizen and I wouldn't trust him, after all, he'd probably knock over his own mother just to get one more interview on ESPN. Stay Away.

The hair gel Kiper uses must be toxic because his football IQ drops every day.

he would make everyone look like Glass Joe ... and he would probably rip someone's ear off. But really, during his prime I could have seen him as a solid guy, with the cockiness/attitude of Ray Lewis maybe.

Just what we need to bring in is an old receiver with bad knees who couldn't even succeed in Peyton Manning's offense that helps inflate everyones numbers. And do we want another guy who won't go over the middle and surely can't handle the cold weather as we saw him disappear in all those New England playoff games? Save the money it's going to take and get more youth and impact for your money.

Ugh 2 straight offseasons with legal issues. I hope Goodell doesn't step in with his hand of justice...

Any player who has Drew Rosenhaus as an agent immediately has a red flag of caution thrown, I feel like he represents alot of the problem childs who want money, fame, money, and then winning is somewhere down on the list.

I love Boldin, Housh, Johnson and even Plax. But the problem is, would any of those 4 guys really sign/accept being traded to the Bills? Aside from Housh, the other 3 all have become known quietly as attitude problem guys, and would any of them really be happy playing for what will probably be a mediocre Bills team that doesn't get alot of publicity? And I'd love Hosuh, but if Philly is smart, they'd make a big push to get him so McNabb can have a real reciever. Well actually, how about we bring McNabb up and bring one of these guy along for the ride with him? As for the other recievers, the Bills can really use a guy to be a solid #2 or at least a really good #3. Just get some weapons out there who can catch a ball and help spread the play around a little bit more so Marshawn isn't running into 8 people every time he carries it.

Boy they need to update their rankings. At this point they're almost 3 weeks old and with some of the changes that are going on, these picks look really bad. I really like Mack, but not as #11. Is there any way the Bills can trade to the 20s and take him there because he'll still be around at that point. Is there any way we could get one of Phillys 1st rounders and another pick? Bills need quantity desperately.

And as much as I'm on the fence about Edwards at times, we have alot greater needs to address in the draft and via trades than getting a QB that is no guarantee anyway.

Anderson would not accept being traded to a team that seems to have a starting QB. I'd look for him to maybe get traded to the Jets where there is an open competition for the QB spot.

Wow, just wow. With what seems like a few freaky plane incidents recently I think I'll stick to the train if needed?

I won't lose sleep over missing out on Carr. The Bills need a backup to protect against Edwards' injury risk and risk of not advancing. If Carr became the starter for the Bills due to one of those situations then they'd be looking at a top 5 pick in 2010. McCown I would have liked as a backup, but I didn't see him leaving Tampa where he can compete for the starting job. As for Garcia, he's not going to come to Buffalo where he would be signing as the #2 and have to work his way up. But I definitely want the Bills to talk to Leftwich as a backup.

With Raji now being a top 10 pick in many peoples eyes, and I can't see the Bills jumping for Pettigrew at #11 either (if the Bills pass on him there, many people have him slipping to 20s). Is this guy really worth that pick in the 2nd round? I feel like tight ends have such a mediocre upside that I'd rather Buff just stock up one side of the ball with all the opportunity players available on D.

I guess this is assuming that Edwards retains the starting job? If so I'll throw out my hopes of Cassell. The issue is Edwards' injury and lack of development risks, so the Bils need a backup who can actually contribute. 1. Ramsey, Boller and Grossman: we've seen their upside and it's nothing more than useless to me. 2. Batch, Leftwich and McCown are both solid backups who will give you average stats. 3. If the Bills want to live a little bit, I'd say why not go for O'Sullivan or Simms - both of who have had flashes at times, and frankly they could mix things up. 4. And for the completely different pick, bring in Gutierrez and have him bring the Patriots full playbook too

The all-time best defensive player? how about whoever the Bills take with their first pick this year? But really, LT changed the game, and every time he hit someone you wondered if they'd get back up. Bruce Smith was great, but LT was just better.

I like those thoughts, but sadly predicting after the 1st is a pain. Also, what are the odds those guys later on actually are still there. Knowing our luck...

Ok I feel the need to cut in here on both arguments going on. 1) Clayton might be a great blocker, but the Bills need a wideout who can catch the ball and help take Evans out of triple coverage. As for Furrey 2) Someone said "he's put up good numbers (200 receptions, 7 TDs) in a limited role on a bad team" ... isn't it usually a red flag when someone on a bad team has a limited role? 3) Furrey was the #4 WR on a team that went 0-16. I don't know about you, but that screams 'game changer' in my book. Is he really going to be any upgrade, help take any pressure off of Evans? I'd take him as a #3 guy, but that's all

A random thought that my friends and I usually bring up when it comes to the draft, how will the guy play in the elements? The Bills play 8 at home (minus Toronto games), then at the Patriots and Jets every season; that's 10 games with the chance of bad weather. Obviously it's narrow minded to plan your team around the weather but it's a solid opportunity to take advantage of as a side thought. Also, you don't want your star players to disappear when the weather gets cold and the like (as we've seen in the playoffs, some Pro Bowlers do in past years)

I'm torn on this. Not only from the Bills' perspective, but the Lions' as well. The Lions have problems top to bottom on their roster, would they sacrifice adding depth for a few higher rated players? Same for the Bills, are they willing to do the opposite? Personally, I wouldn't jump at the trade immediately if Raji was on the table, I'd take him before trading down for the crapshoot of taking 2 players later on. But at the same time, if we could have the shot at taking Pettigrew and some OL/DL/DE help with those two picks later on, it'd be tough to pass that chance up.

I agree that trading down might be the best option if we can get a good deal. This draft seems alot like last years, alot of maybe could be sorta good, but at the 11 spot, I don't see any "must have" guy that will be on the table. Why not stock up on late 1st/ 2nd round picks and help the team with the depth it really needs.

2007 draft the 49ers picked 11, Bills 12. 49ers got Patrick Willis, Bills too Marshawn Lynch. I would have loved Willis, but if drafting behind them this year means getting someone of Lynch's caliber, I'm willing to deal.

The way things are going, I think there will definitely be a chance that Raji is taken in the top 10, every board seems to have him in the 10 to 15 range. Plus he's the top DT in this draft I think, so there will be the definitely risk of a team jumping up to the 8-10 range in hopes of nabbing him. Hope for the best, plan for the worst, that's my method when it comes to the Bills these days...

is anyone on this team really worthy of a franchise tag at this point? would anyone on this team get top 5 money for his position?

One the one hand, I don't like the thought of the Bills taking a tight end at #11 because it seems too high and they have alot of other needs. But at the same time, look at this history of tight ends taken in the top 40 2008 30 - Dustin Keller - NYJ 38 - John Carlson - Sea 2007 31 - Greg Olson - Chi 38 - Zach Miller - Oak 2006 6 - Vernon Davis - SF 28 - Mercedes Lewis - Jax 2005 30 - Heath Miller - Pit 2004 6 - Kellen Winslow - Cle 32 - Ben Watson - NE Obviously there are a few questions on the list above, but overall I think they could all contribute to this team. My only question is, and will remain to be, is the 11th pick too high for him? Alot of drafts say that if the Bills pass on him, he will drop to the end of the 1st possibly...

Please, taking a TE with the 11th pick is too early, especially in this system it seems. The reality is an OL/DE/DL pick. Do you want someone to help protect your QB and increase a mediocre YPC stat? Or do you want someone to wreek havoc on the other team in the trenches? It's a lose/lose shot because both sides are in dire need of help. Right now it's a crapshoot as to what DL/DE to take: Raji, Orakpo, Brown? Just trade down and stockpile, this way they can continue to save money as they love doing, and go with the quantity method. It's not the best idea at all don't get me wrong....
