Fred Jackson, Kyle Williams, & Pears- who may not even be on the final roster. That's it. Just looking over the roster, I knew we had a young team, but I didn't realize just how young. If this draft pans out how most of us think it will, we'll have a very solid core for years to come. Exciting to think about. PS- I'm not counting Moorman, for obvious reasons.

I still can't believe we couldn't have gotten a 3rd this year from Carolina. They are a playoff team with a championship-caliber Defense, but have literally nothing at WR except a very raw WR/TE tweener. It makes too much sense. You have to wonder if the Bills FO was hounding them.

I really hope it's #13. We can do the jersey name plate swap like when Spikes/Poz.

Any DB at #9 will really piss me off.

At this point- the Bills can tell the media exactly what they want to do in the draft, and everybody will think it's a smokescreen.

I fully support drafting Evans, but only if he slips to #9. He is not worth our 1st and 2nd, or 1st and two 3rds. If we move up, we'll only be getting 1 immediate contributor from this entire draft. The Bills cannot afford to do that.

Um, no. Barr cannot contribute right away, he is probably the most raw of all the 1st round prospects at any position. Right now, he could probably only handle a role like Hughes has, and Hughes is better at it right now. Barr would need at least a year before he's ready to contribute, and that's not what we need. A team like the Pats/49ers/Seahawks could go for him & have time to develop him, but not the Bills. If we draft a guy "to rotate with Hughes" at #9 overall, I'll be irate.

No way. Even if Dareus gets suspended, it's only 4 games. Branch can fill in for 4 games just fine. Maybe they'd grab a low-priced vet after roster cuts, but there are way too many needs on this team to use a 1st or 2nd round pick on players that'll only start if something happens to a starter.

They already announced that Gruden & crew would cover the game, which kinda sucks. But it really doesn't matter who covers the damn games, it'll still be way too many commercials.

This is not true. Ebron's measurables are not even in the same ballpark as Vernon Davis's. Vernon blew scouts away in his workouts, and was worth risking the top-10 pick he cost. Ebron is seen as very 1-dimensional, which is the opposite of VD. Even Vernon Davis, with the best TE measurables coming into the Draft of all time, did almost nothing in his rookie year. In fact, he didn't make a major impact until his 4th year. The Bills can't afford to spend a top-10 pick on a player who is not an IMMEDIATE contributor. TEs are almost never studs right away. We don't have the luxury to wait 2-3 years for talent to develop. You don't take a Gresham/Keller/Marcedes Lewis type guy at #9 overall. As much as I hate the idea of a RT at #9, it's much better to take an elite OL than reach for a "pretty good" TE prospect. Ideally, Evans falls & we grab him.

I think Thad did enough last year to retain the backup job. He may not have the pedigree, but I think he has the skills and moxie. The O-line was a sieve much of the time Thad played. He got drilled more times per game than any Bills QB in recent memory. He played pretty decent despite having no camp, being on the scout team until well into the season, and being thrown into the fire. Thad with a full offseason and a full camp getting the #2 reps will be much improved IMO. Plus now he has a half-season of NFL starting experience under his belt. There's no way Prior is an upgrade. I support drafting a QB this year in round 3-6, but I see that as a #3 option for this year.

Potential or not, there is no way any other NFL will give up ANYTHING for TJ Graham. He has shown nothing in 2 seasons, and wouldn't event warrant a 7th round pick in trade. If any team wanted him, they're thinking they can get him for nothing after he gets cut. We're best off keeping him and hoping he develops into a useful asset. I would like to see Brandon Graham as a Bill though. Not sure he really offers anything that Hughes doesn't already give us.

Ebron only had 3 TDs last year, seems like very little production for a guy being touted as a can't-miss redzone threat. He only has 8 TDs in his NCAA career, I'd expect more than that in a single season for a top-10 NFL draft pick. Sure, his highlights are impressive, but he didn't dominate at the college level. I worry he may turn out to be another Pettigrew (minus the blocking). He's a great athlete, but his measurables pale in comparison to a freak like Vernon Davis. His draft stock is largely based on potential, and I don't like that. The Bills have been burned too many times drafting on potential. Let a team who can afford to swing for the fences have Ebron.

20 passing TDs as a team would be a failure IMO. But we can't overlook rushing TDs by EJ/Thad. If EJ plays all 16 games, 25 passing + rushing TDs should be the goal. That's what it'll take to be a playoff team, at least.

Crap. I can see him becoming what LeGarrette Blount was for them late last year. This has much more potential to be a thorn in our side than Moreno to Miami.

LOL at Moreno going to the Dolphins being something to worry about. At best, Moreno could be considered an "adequate" RB. He had a great year because his QB was tossing TDs at a record obliterating pace, I'm guessing he saw 8 in the box roughly 0% of the time. There's a reason Denver let him walk. Vick is in the same boat. He had a bit of of a statistical resurrection in Kelly's offense, but was terrible (and a turnover machine) the 2 years prior. Somehow I doubt the Jets' system will have the same effect on Vick. DeSean is a legit deep threat & would probably score a long TD in both Jets games vs the Bills. Let's hope Philly isn't dumb enough to trade him, or at least not a AFC East team.

LOL at TJ Graham getting trade offers. When Graham gets cut, I'd wager that he won't even be picked up by another team. The only way I see him on an NFL roster this year (assuming he's cut), is as a midesason pickup by a team that lost a few WRs to injury.

Smith hasn't been a #1 WR in years. At this point, there aren't many teams who will see him as more than a fringe starter. He's also a bigtime jagoff, and no longer backs it up on the field, so there's bound to issues with teammates, especially if he's not on a playoff type team. He'll catch on with a contender that is desperate at WR, but his stud days are long gone. He has zero interest in the Bills, and I'm sure they have zero interest him. Rightfully so.

Pitta is a decent option, but pretty 1-dimensional compared to Pettigrew. Pettigrew is pretty close to Pitta as a receiver, but a much better blocker (if motivated). Either guy is a nice upgrade from Chandler.

We can't afford to add malcontent guys like Britt. There is not enough leadership & no winning culture to force him to adapt to. I could see him maybe resurrect his career with an established winner like the Pats or a team ready to contend now. I highly doubt Jermichael Finley ever plays again. He was contemplating retirement after his first concussion this season. After almost having his head taken off when he came back from it, no way. I'll be happy if we all we add via FA is a starting caliber OG.

McKinnie stuck around in the league for 13 years, has a Pro Bowl appearance on his resume, and a Super Bowl ring. He didn't live up to his draft status, but had a pretty solid NFL career. Mike Williams on the other hand was a complete bust in every sense of the word. The only reason that pick isn't talked about as the worst ever, is because Ryan Leaf & Jamarcus Russell being QBs makes them higher profile. The Bills waaaay overthought that one, and McKinnie should've been the pick (if they went OT).

No question. Torrey Smith is basically a 1-trick pony deep threat. Gordon does that just as well, and is a big bodied inside WR too. He looks to be from the same mold as Brandon Marshall.

Gordon is a near top-10 talent at WR. If we over-commit to stopping Cameron, we don't have anybody who can match up with Gordon (w/o Gilmore). Gordon will be the most talented outside WR we've faced, and look what some of the lesser guys have done to us. I'm concerned to say the least.

Pee rivers for 1 game? Not a big deal The bathrooms in the Wrigley field bleachers had over an an inch of piss flowing for every single game throughout the nineties into the 2000s, until they finally updated them a few years ago. People knew not to wear flip flops if you had bleacher seats.

I think most would agree that TJ is a #2, as in a piece of .
