I started a thread last week with my suspicion that Barron would be the Bills pick, based on the fact I believe they have him rated as the BPA at 10, even ahead of Kuechly. Many teams are high on this guy, I bet the Bills are too. If the Chargers are, that should tell you something. Buddy wants a dynamic, impact player. That's what Barron appears to be. Of course raking someone over the coals for a bevy of picks to move up to get him? That would be OK too. Go Bills!

You are quite welcome. Wasn't as bad as Vietnam, I can attest.

My experience in one of avoiding the draft. Joined the Navy, June 1970. Lottery #31. Sorry can't help.

Sorry for not giving the Casserly link. He is just wondering if Barron hits the top ten. I do have one more thought, based on Buddy's comments yeterday. Is Barron an impact player? I think so. Is he an immediate starter? Sure. Then again, Kuechly would be as well. My speculation all along has been Barron is rated pretty high on the board and will be there.

Apparently, Chalie Casserly agrees with my speculation.....check out NFL.COM

Chasing my tail and speculating as well. In essence what I believe, Mel Kiper, or anyone else believes doesn't matter, Buddy and crew will make the choice, I still feel BPA will have to be the choice considering the players available for our pick. And I am guessing Barron is highly thought of.

Sorry, you are right. Of all of the vists, for who will be available, I still believe Barron will be BPA on the Bills' board.

I agree, he can really cover and hit, smart too.

That stuff makes me sick.........

I have a sneaking suspicion Mark Barron will be the pick. No LT visits, Buddy's history, BPA and gut feeling.

I sure miss Fish frys too! Lebro's Thursday nights. Nothing like that in Denver.

Drafting anyone certainly isn't an exact science. For all the Mike Shanahan lovers out there, here are just some of his bad picks. And yes, he was in charge of the draft in Denver WILLIE MIDDLEBROOKS 2001 First Round - Pick 24 CB Minnesota MARCUS NASH 1998 First Round - Pick 30 WR Tennessee MAURICE CLARETTE 2004 3rd Round - Pick 101 RB Ohio State JARVIS MOSS 2007 First Round - Pick 17 DE Florida ASHLEY LELIE 2002 First Round - Pick 19 WR Hawaii

And compared him to Joe Montana

From what I understand from an old friend who works at ESPN, there are two factions always fighting. The entertainment side and the news/journalism types. Usually, entertainment wins. I couldn't agree more with your post. I have a journalism degree (which doesn't make me an expert by any means) but true journalism is rare this days. And very rare on ESPN. And their British Open coverage? Awful.

You must be about the same age as I am. Don't remember the parade, but remember games at the Rockpile. And Shottenheimer was one of the backup LB's I think. Kemp and Lamonica. Ernie Warlick, Mike Stratton and on and on. Great days.

Seven years of college down the drain!

I'm saying the Bills know they need a quarterback at some point, but didn't believe the 2010 class had a QB worthy of their first, second or even third round pick. And the 2011 QB's look more promising. In addition, a 2010 win/loss finish in the bottom 3rd of the league is a reasonable guess at their finish.

You believe it's too early, apparently (Nix/Whaler probably included) do not. Think ahead!! http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2010/7/13/...-draft-scouting

Carolina have Matt Moore, drafted Jimmy Claussen, not likely Cleveland Jake Delhomme, likely but could be better than the Bills Detroit Matthew Stafford, not likely Kansas City paid a ton to get Cassel, not likely Oakland Jason Campbell, likely, but with their defense should finish higher than the Bills Tampa Bay Freeman, not likely St Loius Sam Bradford, not likely Overall, I'd say the Bills will be in position for one of the top QB's, both considered first rounders

The Bills sure have taken a lot of greif on NFL Network and ESPN for not addressing thier "needs" in the 2010 draft. I believe they have been doing exactly what they should. The QB's available (beyond Bradford) should not have taken where the Bills picked. I do believe CJ Spiller was the best available. Looking down the road to who might be available at QB in the draft next year, we have Jake Locker and Christian Ponder. Mr Nix and Mr Whaley have to be sharp enoough to know the Bills should be in position to get one of these guys. Here are the bottom ten teams in the NFL listed with their current QB, their chances of drafting a QB #1 and listed by their odds of reaching the Super Bowl this year. Bills fans, I think their is a franchise QB on the horizon. Denver drafted Time Tebow 2010, not likely Carolina have Matt Moore, drafted Jimmy Claussen, not likely Cleveland Jake Delhomme, likely but could be better than the Bills Detroit Matthew Stafford, not likely Kansas City paid a ton to get Cassel, not likely Oakland Jason Campbell, likely, but with their defense should finish higher than the Bills Tampa Bay Freeman, not likely St Loius Sam Bradford, not likely Overall, I'd say the Bills will be in position for one of the top QB's, both considered first rounders

I have a suggestion to those who are going to sign up. I am not a subscriber because my golf on Sunday would not make the puchase cost effective for me, being in the Mountain Time zone. Call DirecTV and tell them you had NFL Sunday Ticket last year, but with the price increase you are going to switch to cable. Watch what happens.

With the myriad of needs the Bills have, they need starters from thier first two picks, simple as that. Tebow is not ready to start. If he's there in round three fine. If not, so be it.
