Been saying Dareus personal issues may have played a factor along with playing in a new defense, I expect big things from Dareus he tempered a lot of concerns with his improved play

I don't know the specific players in the draft so I can't comment on what players I would like but I would like to see the Bills get a prime WR at pick 8, and then go grab a impact LB in round 2, and use their third rounder to trade for Matt Flynn to solve their QB situation. Any QB needs better weapons and our D needs Linebackers, and I am not sold on this QB class so out of all the free agent/trade possibilities I like Flynn the best. In free agency we can shop to further fill out the LB position and fill out the roster.

The Eagles moved Kelly... TO A BIGGER HOUSE. I think the Eagles are a good fit for Kelly they have a lot of speed talent on offense and some talent on defense. They have a high draft choice too which is always appealing for a coach to build a roster.

IF McClain is released from the Raiders (Which seems like a good possibility) should the Bills be interested in kicking the tires on the guy? I mean he showed a lot of promise but hasn't panned out. That could be due to a toxic situation in Oakland. The guy is also a bit of a problem off the field. I know the typical reaction would be to say no simply because he was drafted high and we have heard of him doesn't mean we should sign him. Or the other side will be well I have heard of the guy so we should sign him. I think bringing him in as a back up with zero guarantee might be good for him, make him hungry to play and tap that potential. But its hard to say he wouldn't be a cancer in the locker room. I think if you can get him at his most desperate and sign him to a contract were you can release him at any point it might be worth a shot. I guess if you got the right deal it is worth a shot.

Pass I am not really a believer in drafting a linebacker in the top 10 philosophy.unless he is going to be a game changer. Getting a "Solid" MLB with the 8th overall pick just isn't worth it. When you pick a LB number 8 he better be a Patrick Willis or Clay Matthews type who can dominate the game. This pick would be kind of like the Aaron Curry/AJ Hawk type player who is either a bust or above average at his position. I would take a chance on the guy in the second as he fits our need but 8th no way.

I think he is more a 3-4 player, if we plan on using that front a lot I wouldn't mind it but I just don't see it happening.

The NFL coaching ranks are a frat tons of cronyism but I like the hire good quality defensive mind

Yeah I would want Flynn but not at an unreasonable cost. Outside of Flacco Flynn is the only trade or free agent QB I would want.

Smith is gonna get cut, I can't see a team giving up more than a mid rounder. Smith is a game manager type, very smart, not turnover prone. But no team is going to give up a big pick for the guy. 49ers could release him I think its likely.

No, its not bothering anyone (I haven't heard any major outcry about it in a long time), I think the term is/was racist but the slur is no longer relevant (Its probably not really been used as a racist slur commonly since the beginning of the 20th century) so why bother. Changing the name is only going to give the term power, leave it alone I don't even know that there is really a big outrage about it anymore.

Dick Jauron maybe the worst coach ever to have had two non-intern head coaching jobs in NFL history. His tenure with the Bears was a bunch of **** with one winning season which was marked by a bunch of fluke wins and a 0-1 playoff performance. He then went to Buffalo were he pulled 3 straight 7-9 seasons and a 3-6 start before getting his ass booted. Gailey at least had his only 2 seasons in Dallas be winning seasons, I can't think of any head coaches that had two stints that were worse than Jauron.

I would bring him back for the right price. Good return man and a very seductive player (Great physical capabilities, shows flashes of brilliance, and his weak points seem correctable) but its been 5 seasons (08, 09, 10, 11, 12) we know what we have with McKelvin for the most part. Yes he is still young and yeah the skills are there. But you have to set your price and stick to it I say 4-5 million 3-4 year deal nothing gauranteed beyond the first year. Sadly because there will be some team that could use a return man and thinks they got what it takes to correct him he will get paid in the 6-7 million dollar range for a 5+ year deal with a guarantee. Give him a fair offer and just leave it at that. He walks he walks. Its not a big loss.

When Chan was first hired the perception was the Bills hired a third tier retread who got fired from a horrid Chiefs team. It wasn't until training camp his first year when he got good press because he was the opposite of Jauron but make no mistake Chan was not considered a good hire at the time. Marrone was actually wanted by other teams unlike Chan who was an unknown candidate with zero HC interest (no one thought he was a HC candidate). Only time will tell on Marrone

Mario Williams contract means we will be a base 4-3 team. Not that that's a bad thing but for the next couple of seasons I would say the scheme doesn't really matter as long as its effective.

Any former WCW wrestler is fine by me

I also think Dareus went through a lot of personal issues that may have regressed his progress,

I think Levitre is better than Brandon Moore but Moore has been a really good guard for the Jets for the past four years. It wouldn't be too much of a step down. Moore is a more than respectable guard.

Fitz is done unless he is willing to restructure his deal. I think/hope Levitre stays, but I think Byrd might be a goner just because we only have one franchise tag. I think the offense is going to be similar talent wise outside of Fitz but I think how we scheme and play call is due for a huge change.

Really hope the Bills can get both Levitre and Byrd signed both are important. If I had to choose between the two I would take Levitre.

I don't blame the Browns no reason to rush their search, plenty of candidates out there.

Would love to see Carmichael come here, guy was a really good OC for the Saints. As far as DC I don't like the idea of Lovie Smith I think having a guy who wants to be HC take over the DC spot would be a mistake. While I wouldn't hate Lovie as DC I would see why they wouldn't want a guy like that.

I don't know what to make of the hire. I am really glad they went with some fresh blood and not a tired retread. Jauron and Gailey were the type of retreads that the Bills were going to get so I think they needed to take a chance. Next step resign Byrd and Levitre (OR us the franchise tag to at least retain one of them) and get a good coordinators and coaching staff to help Marrone. Its easy to hate the hire but I am willing to actually let this one play out before I hate it, as I like the philosophy that went behind it. Its good to see fresh blood, so sick of the second tier retreads.

The Bills have to go wide and far to get coaches, I don't see the harm in an extensive coaching search.

Pretty much no more second tier retreads.

I would franchise Levitre I think our O-line is too good a unit to put a hole in it. Byrd would be tough to lose, but I think its going to be easier to sign him if the Bills put up a good offer. God I just hope we tag one of them and get a long term deal done. No need to lose both guys.
