What about Chris Houston-CB/Arkansas. Is this way too high for him (probably) ? He looked outstanding in the film clips against USC's Jarrett and against some other teams. Will he be around in the second round ? Only have what little I saw of him in highlight reels but he looks awesome. What do you guys who follow the draft think about him ? Thanks

And he didn't play a part in that?? ...Bennie Anderson, Tutan Reyes "We've finally improved our line, blah, blah, blah" We got one outstanding lineman, which makes it a great day.

That was brilliant (don't know what it means). It's probably cold in that line for playoff tickets, would you like me to bring you some coffee ?

GREAT ?? MAY BE THE MOST POLLYANNAISH comment I've seen in awhile. 3 O-lineman of which one will probably be an asset (Dockery). You don't happen to have any Bennie Anderson or Tutan Reyes jerseys sitting around you'd like to get rid of ? Not meaning this to be a personal attack but sheesh. I wouldn't be surprised if Al Davis personally drove L. Walker to the airport to make sure he left town. That being said, Dockery, Peters, and Fowler give them three solid lineman and if someone else steps up (I doubt it will be one of those other two "great' players that were signed today) this team could be solid. Now before talking playoffs, let's fill the spots at CB, LB(S) and beef up the DL and we will be a very tough team to play. GO BILLS !!

I think it is wonderful that we are keeping of the tradition of bringing in lineman that other teams have little or no interest in. I would hate to think we would model those wicked Cowboys in the 90's and get 5 outstanding lineman to turn a QB, RB and WR into Hall of Famers. Opening holes and protecting the QB is soooo overrated and it makes me proud that our team wants to continue to employ the "trailer trash" of the league.

There is definetlyy more value also because after the first two DT'S there is a big drop-off while on the other hand there seems to be several similar DB's with a similar grade. So take the DT and you could likely get a quality DB in round 2.

I hope we don't blow our chances of getting McFadden by winning unnecessary games and.. God forbid make the playoffs !

If we simply draft Josh Beekman in the second round wouldn't that solve that problem or am I missing your point !

Be honest did the term "High motor" ever cross your mind ?

Does anybody have his stats. Not saying he isn't great but was his prodution on the field above average. I know I have no life, but I have all the combine taped (which I haven't watched yet) and the Senior Bowl practices taped (which I have watched all of). Ryan Kalil handled him pretty easily in the pass blocking drills that I saw (take it for what it's worth). Not trying to be critical just wondering if he is more hype than production.... but he does seem to be a high character guy; which is never a negative. Finally, has this off season been long or does it seem that Okoye has been the 19 year old phenom for about 2-1/2 years now. Go Bills !!

Can't say that I disagree with your concerns or view on the selection of a DT but Thurman Thomas was passed on for a bad injury and did outstanding and Peterson is the first guy in 20+ years who even remotely reminds me of Eric Dickerson. It would be sweet to make a third and short, at least occasionally.... not complaining mind you.

I would hope if this comes to(sp?) fruision (and I would be all for that deal) that our second first round choice would have a first round grade and would give us more production that that last guy.... ol' what's his name.

Just in case what ? In case we need to give our offense more rest and we are afraid of making the other team punt! If he is on our roser opening day then the Bills did a poor job of filling their squad.

I agree that the odds of the Bills taking Quinn Or Landry are minimal or ridiculous, but what would we have said about a mock draft that had us taking the shortest safety in the draft and moving up to take a DT that many wanna be experts had going anywhere from early 2nd to somewhere in the third round. The only thing I expect is that we will be surprised by the pick and that even if somebody slips to #12 we will take a player the Bills already have honed in on.

On the other hand, I think Denver has proven that RB is the easiest position to replace as they have had a revolving door with much success. With one or two improvements on the line almost any schmo with NFL speed could look good. The loss of WM going off-tackle on 1st and 10 and then coming back to the huddle 2nd and 12 will be GREATLY missed but I think he can and should be replaced with someone with a little more desire, which would include almost any RB not named Clarett. Get rid of him.

I think if there is tampering, the Redskins could lose a draft pick but no picks would be given to the Bills.

I think Joe Cribbs, Thurman Thomas and Terry Miller did okay as rooki RB's for the Bills. Marshawn Lynch has every bit the talent a Joe Cribbs had and, unfortunately, those of you not on the West Coast didn't get to see him, he is a very, very, good back and I think he would be making those critical third and shorts, thus keeping drives going on and making a 7-9 team a possible playoff contender. I am not saying we should take him but I would be pretty darn excited if we did

Is name calling and personal attacks part of your modus operandi ? Geesh ! People have the right to disagree AND to think you're point is absurd without the attacks. I think Ramius was just being humorous by the way. I am of the minority opinion that teams that trade back and want depth, usually have good to great special teams and very few Pro Bowlers. Though the Bills have many holes, some of them can be hidden by one special player who can either; Get pressure on the QB on third down and long to end the opponents drive, Make the block on third and short to keep a drive going, Make the run on third and short to keep the drive going, etc, etc.. This entails getting Great ballplayers and I personally think finding ONE of those players would be just as good , if not better, than filling three holes with "Depth" and "Maybe's". Just from what I've seen in games and highlight tapes, (which means I have limited knowledge, I admit) Justin Blaylock, Ryan Kalil, Marshawn Lynch and the DE from Arkansas appear to be those types of players. I like Okoye but Kalil seemed to handle him with relative ease in the Senior Bowl drills I saw. I would hate to trade back and find that none of the players I liked(and I'm sure the Scouts have some differing views as compared to mine) were gone just for the benefit of having an extra pick. Thanks and Go Bills !!

I feel great about this because that is one less team to worry about in 2007. I heard Jerry Rice several weeeks ago on an L.A. talk show say that Norv Turner was the worst coach he had EVER played for. He looked like he had lost the Raiders respect before game 1. The Chargers have too much talent to fold but I can't see him coaching his way to the Superbowl in the rugged AFC. Naturally, I could be wrong, but I don't think so. If I was a Chargers backer, I would be spending alot of time around the toilet bowl if he is, in fact, named HC.

I think Ron Rivera will be the choice. But I would go for Norm Chow if I was making the decision.

I 'think' that February is the worst month for sports fans if this is a topic on a Bills site !

There would seem to be more value in a DE than a DT, unless the Bills are in love with the kid from Louisville(if available). J. Anderson, G. Adams and the big guy from Nebraska (Carriker?) look impressive in clips. Surely one or more of the will be available at pick 12... if we go DL

I think M. Lynch has the potential to be nearly as good as Thurman Thomas. He is an exciting player who loves and understands the game . I've seen several of his games and would be very excited if he was drafted by the Bills. Whether he is better than M. Bush, I don't know. I honestly know next to nothing about him, other than what everyone reads on the net. But don't sell Lynch short... he is going to be very good in my opinion.

First of all, we have become a pussyfied (don't mean to offend you pussies out there) country that has decided people like Phil Donohue are the sensitive men with the real answers and understanding. I don't get offended because I'm called White instead of Euro-American and I don't get offended because most TV shows make Dads out to be bumbling fools and the kids having the right answers. But it does tick me off that we have allowed ourselves to be such sensitive little twits. I'm tired of a society that expects the govt. to care of us. Tired of every "Group" needing special priviledges because they have been oppressed. Get over it and quit trying to be offended !!! Let the ignorant be ignorant and just take care of your families by spending time with them and providing for them. Then you may not "have the time" to be offended by everything in like that you disagree with. Thanks and...Go Bills !!
