Do Chris Brown's recent blurbs about free agency have a different ring to them than normal? Maybe it's just me, but it sounds like he thinks we too are players for big names. I know there are many on here who assume we will be (I certainly hope we will), but I guess it's a hard thing to expect after the past few years...
I'd route for VJax if he came here (certainly lots of FA wrs out there), but I would be really excited about Mario....that would just be incredible.

I think our big target is Kamerion Wimbley, hopefully he's not set on staying in California (even if it is in SoCal).
I would love Eddie Royal, Laurent Robinson, Pierre Garcon, Rob Meachem...I'm not high on Vincent Jackson.
I too think we go OT in Rd 1. Look for passrushers in Rd 2 and/or Rd 3. I wouldn't be surprised if Nix waits until Rd 3 given how he has talked about this year's depth at DE.
I thought Byrd was fantastic last year. Am I the only one that noticed how he turned into a hitting machine? Wilson and Byrd are an EXCELLENT safety tandem imo.
I like the "Brad Smith" of defense comment. That's essentially my feeling as well, and he does play with a nice intensity that sets the tone for the younger guys.
These effing acronyms.
Laurent Robinson, Meachem, or Garcon + Wembley, than draft an OT (perhaps Martin, the Stanford prospect )
I would be a very happy camper. Ahhh, the optimism of the offseason and the eve of free agency.
I like the optimism, but all too often we see our Bills players making opposing teams' TEs look like all-pro tackles. But yes, adding Mario to the line would dramatically alter our defense.
I'm aboard the Wimbley train right now - I think it's plausible, and it's a good match.
Too bad we can't get Peeeeeppers
I know a lot of people don't think he'll be able to play, or be the same, but I have a feeling he'll put in about 3 good years. I'm a fan, so I don't want to turn out wrong, but I just can't stomach him playing well for those effing phins.
Cognitive dissonance-damn you!
