Even if Mike Williams lives up to what he was in his better years in Tampa and Stevie does what he has done, we would still need Robert Woods and Goodwin to take that next step in order for the WR core to feature a full complement. Woods more so, I think Woods is very key to how that core develops. Of course adding a receiving tight end early in the draft would add another weapon for EJ.

I really like this move. Its basically a one year tryout (His big money doesn't kick in till next season) for a guy who has flashed pretty good talent in his first three years in the league. At best he is a solid #2 WR, plus he fills the need of a size wide receiver. Stevie can now play in the slot and you can have Williams and Woods on the outside with Goodwin in the spread. We could still take Mike Evans but its more likely we could take a tight end either at 9 or in round 2. It really opens up the draft for us, a very nice trade for the team considering the relatively low cost.

Donald Trump will truly turn this into a first class organization, because everything Donald Trump does is first class. (Obvious joke)

The more I look at this draft the more I feel the Bills need a trade down badly. If they could trade down into the 22-16 range and pick up a extra 2nd rounder that would be huge for them. They have a decent amount of holes to fill and getting that extra pick while still picking in the middle of the 1st would be huge.

I would rather they take a chance on a late or mid round pick to sure up the depth at LB. The depth there isn't tragic Kiko, Spikes, Rivers, Lawson, and Bradham are already on the roster. If you added another mid to late round prospect plus a couple of undrafted FA's you should go 6 deep which is plenty of depth and have a couple of players extra for competition.

I am really surprised that no one has been able to pull this off since the USFL. A high level minor league football league in the spring seems like it could work. Start the league year right after the Super Bowl, do off-season draft and free agency the first three weeks of Feb. Start training camp the last week of Feb and the first week of March. A couple of pre-season games in March and then kick it off the last week of March and do a 10 game season with a two week playoff in June.

While I would love to add a talent like Jackson to the offense. He is one of the more dynamic players in the league. But I am not sure he would want to come to Buffalo as he seems to have a decent amount of options. If you factor that out, then I am not sure if you want a possible distraction like him around a young developing QB. I would still consider taking him on since it will fill a huge need but its not without reservation.

They would probably have to give up their 1st and 2nd this year along with a 2nd next year and maybe a 5th this or next year too. The cost will be steep and I am not sure there is really a player worth trading up to number one for.

I hope Jim Kelly pulls through. The picture of him and his daughter is absolutely heart breaking.

RIP Ralph, you kept the team in Buffalo and you built the team in Buffalo. Sad day, but the guy lived a long and fruitful life. Still a disappointment to see him no longer with us.

Its true that having a QB with a huge cap number can compromise the rest of the team. But that being said QB is still such an important position that I would much rather pay one of the top QB's 20 million of my cap then sign 3 or 4 top defensive free agents for that money.

The NFL is in a bubble right now, its inflating its self by adding those Thursday games, and it won't be long before they do Saturday games on top of that. Within 3 years you could have games on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday (From 1 p.m till 11 p.m.) and Monday. That's 4 days a week with football. Right now the demand is there but how long before it gets overexposed? Once the NFL hits its saturation point it will have to dial back one or two of its TV packages. I don't think the NFL will fall in popularity but they are pushing their limits and pretty soon they are going to see where the saturation point is. I think the NFL should abandon the Thursday games and just do Saturday games after Thanksgiving. But what they should do and what's good for business are two different things.

Team really needs a backup QB, EJ should and will be the starter, when he played he did what you would expect from a young QB. Lets see if the kid can stay healthy and what he can do in year two. I don't know what veteran options are out there but we should bring in someone as a backup.

What's wrong with Keanu Reeves? Dude was Neo and Ted in Bill and Ted.

The NFL Season is perfect the way it is, the playoffs give the perfect incentive to finish in first place (Bye week plus home field advantage). Why they keep !@#$ing with the format is beyond me.

This smart bargain shopping the Bills are doing. Talent Wise Britt is the type of receiver the Bills need big with some speed, an outside of the slot type presence. Depends what type of money he will command but its a good look to kick the tires on the guy.

Spikes and Graham are really nice free agents that fill key defensive needs. Rivers isn't the best addition but he at worst adds some decent depth. Williams was underwhelming considering they will be shifting him into a starting role and they paid a decent price for him. And if Dixon signs that's a nice signing too. I also like them bringing back Chandler Overall despite the Williams misstep its been a decent off-season. They still have some work to do but its a nice start. Safety would be a nice area to find a player in. I like what they are doing its not perfect but they are signing the types of players they need to.

I didn't know he was a free agent, it would be a really nice signing. You can't be too deep at DT. If the demand for him isn't there it would be a prudent move to add some depth to the middle.

Spikes one year deal mid level money, really nice deal for both. Spikes gets decent money on a prove it type deal while the Bills get some help at MLB in the run department. He is a liability in the passing game for sure but we can work around that. Overall I like the signing, its an earth shattering type signing but considering how the team lacked a presence in the run game and LB's overall its a nice deal.

That might have inflated his numbers but its still not enough of a justification to give a guy who even if you adjusted for that fact still was mediocre at best, is going to make people question your decision making. Hopefully they saw something in Williams that can be corrected and turn him around.

Mid levelish tight end, still good to see him back. Hopefully they still examine getting an upgrade, Chandler would probably be best effective as a number 2 tight end.

Be interesting to see him on the Bills. We run 3 deep at DT already but we could use the upgrade in run D. Very interesting to see. Although I do hate the guy and will be glad to not see him in a Pats* uni.

Really good signing. Shows the front office is aware of the teams needs. Not sure if Rivers or Williams was the best signings but they were at least at positions of need. Graham however is a good signing.

Byrd got the deal he was expecting about 9 million a year. Bills were right to pass on that kind of deal.

Let the off-season play out. There is no need to go out and overspend on guys when you can find good players on the cheap. Its a deep class of corners and a deep class of guards plenty of guys to be had there without splurging for a splashy signing. Granted the Bills could be a non-factor but let it play out before you call them anything.
