  1. There are some good depth players avaiable if you are a team looking for a vet third stringer in case someone gets hurt. Wouldn't mind seeing the team bring in a vet guard to compete with Urbik and the kids for the RG position.
  2. I will see it when I believe it but its good to see some people believing.
  3. The Clippers price is highly inflated. The Bucks sold for way less so the range for teams is somewhere between 550 million and 2+ billion. The Bills are a low tier NFL team value wise. I don't think they will be a 2 billion dollar team like if the Giants or Cowboys got sold. The Bills will sell in the range of 1-1.5 billion depending on how many bidders get involved. The Clippers pretty much got sold at the right time, the team is really good, the NBA is doing well and about to come up on a new TV deal, the Lakers are in a down turn, and there were a lot of bidders.
  4. Bills are already giving Moeaki a shot to revive a injury riddled career along with Chandler being in the fold. So bringing Finley in would create a log jam at the position with two of the three guys being injury riddled.
  5. Spiller will play out the year and take his chances out on the open market. The market for him will either collapse or open up depending on how he does this year. The Reggie Bush contract is a solid bench mark for him but his standing will be much different after this season.
  6. The potential is there with Gilmore, but until he does it consistently its nothing the team can bank on.
  7. I would say it was a combo of both, they did a bad job of scheming towards his strengths and then there were times Spiller just didn't execute.
  8. I actually liked the Texans not reaching for a QB. You don't take a QB unless you think he is the guy. Why waste a pick on a player just to satisfy your fanbase? Savage is a young guy who is a project but they got him in the 4th. Fitz is a innings eater QB, decent enough to hold down the fort and ideally a backup. If your scouting staff and coaching staff felt like there was no QB's worth taking why waste the pick? You got a dynamic defensive player 1st overall, a really good guard in round 2, and some good players in the later rounds.
  9. Kiper is giving his opinion based on how he evaluated the draft and the individual teams needs he evaluated. Every year he or another pundit gives the Bills a bad draft grade they knock them and call them idiots. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and analysis. Just because someone thinks the Bills did a bad job doesn't invalidate their opinion simply for that reason.
  10. C- I really think they overpaid big time to move up just 5 spots. However they did get a very dynamic offensive player. I hated the Stevie trade. But I really liked the 2nd round pick and their mid round selections were good too. I think it was a big mistake to trade Stevie for a mid rounder because with Watkins, Williams, and Woods around him Stevie could have been a dynamic slot receiver. Although I understand that it makes for more playing time for Woods I still think it was a big mistake esp when you consider the value they got back for him. The trade for Brown was decent a bit steep of a price but they needed a Running Back so its not tragic. They didn't get a backup QB which is OK with me since any QB drafted in the 4th round or later wasn't going to be better than Thad Lewis as a backup. They didn't get a tight end which is a historically neglected position for some reason. They also left Free Safety and a pass rusher opposite Mario as holes on the roster. They weren't going to fill every need on the roster but they filled a decent amount of needs (Playmaker on offense, RT, and depth at RB, LB, and CB).
  11. Team needed depth at corner and he seems like he could play safety. Overall the type of solid selection you make in round 4.
  12. On paper is always a dangerous game to play. The talent has to manifest its self on the field as opposed to just looking like a good collection of talent. I like the potential of the team, this is probably one of the more talented rosters the team has had is a long while but with this team I will believe it when I see it.
  13. The NFL is basically using him as PR. Much like the NBA with Jason Collins.
  14. I like it, a lot of his negatives don't impact him as much when he is playing RT. Though there is the huge question of injury which keeps me from really liking the pick.
  15. Trading up is shown to be a terrible move historically speaking. And I personally feel like the Bills made a pretty big over payment to move up just five spots. But they got a dynamic player so at least they made the move to get a good talent. Still I am not a fan of the move but hopefully I am wrong.
  16. Good for him, never hated on Fitz the person just not good enough as a starter.
  17. If you lose Spiller next year draft a RB in round 2 or 3 Next Year. Don't draft one now when you have other needs because of speculation. The point wasn't where you draft running backs but rather you don't draft for next years needs when you have a lot of needs to address this year. I also don't buy trading up for a WR. Seems like with the Mike Williams trade they are far from desperate at WR, now if an elite one fell to them at pick 9 I could see it happening but I don't think they will sacrifice additional draft assets to take a player in a position where they have a decent amount of talent.
  18. I would much rather play it out with Spiller and Jackson this year and then address other needs in the draft. We can't throw out a pick in the first three rounds this year to try and fill a need we might have next year? Makes no sense to try and address a need that doesn't happen till next season when we have a sizable amount of needs right now.
  19. Always be trying to improve, if there is a guy who you feel can help the organization why would the timing matter? Also from what I am hearing the guys they hired are pro scouts who mostly scout talent in the league currently.
  20. Whatever the Bills do they should just let the draft come to them, hold steady at 9 and then see who is there and trade down if there is a trade to be had and a top guy isn't there.
  21. I think you could go RT in round two, for sure it needs to be addressed in the first two rounds but I think tightend is just as glaring a need. I wouldn't be surprised if they take a RT in round 2 and then grab another for depth in round 4-5. But I think its more than likely they go early on RT. Barring a trade down I think they go offense in both round 1 and 2 and then just go for depth and best player available in the mid to late rounds.
  22. Unless Mack falls I don't see a defensive player worth taking over Evans or Ebron. Ebron would add a big possibly dynamic target to an already decent WR core (Not to mention Chandler still in the mix as a backup). Evans is a really good talent too but with the Williams trade it would clog up that position. I think the Bills are going to go defense heavy in rounds 3-5, build depth for the secondary and front seven while the first two picks try and plug up some key holes on offense (RT and Tightend being good holes to plug). If Ebron, Evans, and Mack aren't there I could honestly see a trade down which would be even better as picking up picks would be a really good idea.
  23. No way, even if Woods emerges as a legit receiver and Williams returns to his past form (Solid number 2 WR) we could and would need Stevie. Stevie could be a killer out of the slot esp if there are two outside targets that are legit and depending on the draft a tight end worth keying on.
  24. The first two picks are good fills up some needs on offense, although I think with the Willams signing we might not be looking at a guard but at a RT in round two. Only pick I have an issue with is round 3 going after a RB. A DE, RT, FS, or LB would make more sense there.
