  1. #1- You take the best avail athlete.

     

    #2- the bills have needs at ALL positions except RB.

     

    #3- There is NO VALUE in the first 10 picks. The Bills are perfect position.

     

    #4- Unlees a gift falls in our lap (like RAJI), the Bills will trade down to #13 (wash) and then use that pick to take PETTIGREW !! (remember where you heard it first).

  2. Boldin wants #1 starter money !! .....thats + $9 million a year.....he is opposite the second best wide receiver in all of football in Larry Fitzgerald. Ever notice how these fabulous #2 wide receivers DISAPPEAR all of a sudden when they go to another team, become the #1 guy and have to fight thru constant double teams. I'm sorry but i'd rather have a $9 million dollar DEFENSIVE LINEMAN instead.

  3. i can see it now.....

     

    ZAZIE - "so coach, who are we picking at #11" ??

    COACH- "you know i can't talk about that"

    ZAZIE- "i won't tell anyone, really, scouts honor"

    COACH- "i'm really sorry, but i can't"

    ZAZIE- <rambles on about our needs>

    COACH- <reaches for flight attendant button>........lol

  4. do NOT trade UP.....the Bills are in excellant position at #11(great value of talent + pay).....just let it come to you.....trade down, yes....but NOT up......they are going to wing up with three outstanding players at 11,28 & 42.

     

    btw...that burger is bigger than H2o's head.....lol

  5. This is a GREAT trade for Atlanta. First of all everything for me is about VALUE (productivity + contract) and managing the SALARY CAP. Atlanta got the BEST TIGHT END IN FOOTBALL !! plain and simple. his contract is very reasonable, his cap hit if he stayed in KC was $6.5 in 2009, $7 in 2010 & $8 in 2011. it will be less to atlanta cause signing bonus money is NOT on them, i dont have numbers, but his actual pay will be less. so what if he only plays 2 or 3 more years, at the end you get your cap space back. They gave up a #2 draft pick, in 2010, that player may or may not even become a starter, let alone an ALL PRO.

     

     

    EDIT- apparently he has come to terms on a NEW contract with ATL.....details unknown yet

     

     

     

     

     

    BTW - anyone who thinks Pettigrew lasts til #28 is dreaming. Phi takes a RB, but i say New England would grab him at #23.

  6. Scenario #1 is severely flawed as unlikely, first of all you are NOT getting Scheffler for a 4th round pick......he was a 2nd round pick of Denver's, is considered one of the better young tight ends in football....they are going to ask for a 2nd round pick or a 3rd & 5th. He is in the LAST year of his rookie contract and is gonna want to get paid !! you will have to pay him twice what a #1 pick in the 20-28 overall would get. But for discussion purposes, if denver was stupid enough to take a 4th round pick, then scenario #1 is best. i would be happy with scenario #1 even if it cost us the #2 for Scheffler.

     

    Scenario #2- the team that picks before ATL is NE at #23, a 4th is NOT enough, you need a lil more to do that. in order to go further from the #28th overall UP to #20 it will cost you a 3rd round pick. Your scenario #2 is more likely than your #1 scenario. i would be happy with this one also.

     

    the Bills are going to take Pettigrew with the 11th or 13th(trade WASH) and then UNGER or MACK with the 28th, then the best DL or LB with the 42nd.

  7. Here is why the Bills are mediocre at best for a decade.

     

    #1- they have wasted three #1 picks on finding Jim Kelly's replacement (Rob Johnson, Drew Bledsoe & J P Losman)

     

    #2- they have neglected BOTH the OL & DL in the draft and free agency. They keep using their top picks on "finesse" positions like DB & WR.

     

    until they win the war in the trenches, they will continue to lose.

    WRs reportedly positive for marijuanaComment Email Print Share ESPN.com news services

     

    Wide receivers Percy Harvin and Brandon Tate tested positive for marijuana during February's NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, two sources told FOXSports.com.

     

    The news could be potentially damaging to the wide receivers' stock during this weekend's NFL draft.

     

    Harvin was considered a first-round pick after leaving the University of Florida following his junior season. Tate was considered a possible second- to fourth-round pick after a solid college career at North Carolina.

     

    Joel Segal, the agent who represents both players, didn't return messages from FOXSports.com seeking comment.

     

    NFL teams received the drug-test results earlier this week, according to FOXSports.com.

     

    Sources told FOXSports.com Harvin and Tate were the only two high-profile players to flunk their combine drug tests, and one of the sources said that fewer than a dozen players tested positive for recreational drugs.

     

    Players who failed the tests are subject to entry into the NFL's substance-abuse program.

     

    Harvin finished his college career with 133 receptions for 1,929 yards and 13 touchdowns and 194 carries for 1,852 yards and 19 scores. He averaged 9.5 yards per carry and 11.6 yards every time he touched the ball. He also posted a strong 4.39 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the combine.

     

    He was at his best in big games, earning MVP honors in the 2006 Southeastern Conference championship game and totaling 171 yards and a touchdown in a victory over Oklahoma in the Bowl Championship Series national title game in January.

     

    He lined up at receiver, running back and quarterback for the Gators but expects to do even more at the next level because several teams have already talked to him about returning kickoffs and punts.

     

    Tate finished his career with an NCAA-record 3,523 career combined kick-return yards. Before tearing two knee ligaments midway through his senior year, he averaged 23.5 yards on his 16 receptions.

     

    Tate, still recovering from his injury, didn't work out at the combine

  9. And that’s why Pettigrew is widely considered the most complete tight end to come out in years. He didn’t post ungodly numbers at Oklahoma State and he didn’t drop jaws in the 40-yard dash. But it’s almost impossible to nitpick flaws in Pettigrew’s game. At 6-foot-5, 260 pounds, Pettigrew is built like an angry lumberjack. For the Bills, he may be the one missing piece that elevates the offense to elite status – an extended tackle in the running game, yet still explosive in the receiving game.

     

     

    TAKE HIM AT #11........he will make the running game even better.
