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.

The NFL is basically using him as PR. Much like the NBA with Jason Collins.

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.

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.

Good for him, never hated on Fitz the person just not good enough as a starter.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
