Well, well. Now let's go get Martellus Bennett from Texas A&M to play TE for us (6' 6", 250, 4.75).

From Scout.com: "McKelvin has a good body type, and the frame to add a few pounds. At the Combine, he showed off his straight line speed, running a sub 4.4 while displaying the ability to stop and start without losing speed, and the ability to maintain top end speed. Best suited for a Cover-2 scheme. A fluid athlete and dynamic game-breaker when he gets his hands on the football as evidenced by his seven TDs (five punt returns, one kick return, one interception return)."

Exactly, John. See my post above. This was a GREAT pick by the Bills!

You guys are crazy. Get a grip. This was a great move by the Bills. There won't be any CBs this good when they pick in the 2nd. Who was going to cover Moss, Wilford, et al? The Bills can trade back into the 1st to get a WR and, if not, there will likely still be a good one available @ #41. Chill out and watch them get their WR next.

Lori, thanks for dredging up those suppressed memories. Unfortunately, I remember them all. And while we're at it, maybe you should say that "You people just need to work on your extreme dislike, is all." Afterall, Rich started this thread and you know his golden rule: You shouldn't hate. Rich, where are you? You start a countdown thread and stop after one friggin' day???! Slacker!

LAMP whore...

Kelly @ #28 and Hardy in the 2nd Round I can live with. Otherwise, no thanks. Just say no to Hardy in the 1st...not worth it.

Link?

You may be right, but I'd be no happier to see them get Gholston, for example. At some point, they're going to have to address their aging LB situation. You can count on that front office bringing in "an immediate impact as a rookie" @ #7 regardless of whether or not it's Rivers. Again, pick your poison. They definitely suffer from an embarrassment of riches. Nice problem to have.

100% agree with you on Gumble but not on Collinsworth. He, too, is an annoying blowhard and should have been sacked years ago, as well; however, if I could only choose one it would definitely be Gumble. Hey, Collinsworth...why the long face?

Let's be fair here. It would be after the Bills finished with the best record in the NFL and then lost in the AFC Championship Game, NOT the Super Bowl.

No offense, but who cares? Seriously. They're going to get an outstanding prospect at #7, regardless. It's pick you're poison so why worry?

'Just Cause'

Really like Harvey @ #11. I'd be satisfied with this draft as long as Hardy is taken in the 2nd and not the 1st and if Schmitt is taken with the compensatory 4th or in the 5th...but not with the original 4th.

DE Chris Long.

You, sir or madam, are the dumbest in a long line of dumb !@#$s...and, on this board, that's saying something. I vote drawn & quartered...but that's just me.

Exactly...and he's short. Short we don't need. Next...

Yes, he will...late first at best and I tend to agree with you on this.

I loved those early days, too, and I'm pretty sure that the draft was held on Tuesday, not Thursday. I actually had those draft kits you could get from ESPN, complete with the old red logo in block letters, encased in the red oval. Ah, youth...

So what's your point?? PFW's poll was on the best DE's EVER, not just the '80s and '90s. Long played for a "glamour" team and, while an above average DE, he couldn't hold the jock of either Reggie White or Bruce Smith, let alone Deacon Jones.

Gives you a real "warm and fuzzy" as a Bills fan, doesn't it? Douchebags like Jones, Kraft, and Snyder won't be satisfied until they've killed the proverbial goose that laid the golden egg. The NFL is currently the most watched and richest, major sports league yet these "visionaries" want to re-invent the wheel. And not for the good of the league but for their own selfish gain. Don't want to work hard by putting a good front office with talent evaluating skills in place? Don't want to have the satisfaction of beating out your competition on your superior merits? No problem. Just out spend them, plain and simple. These twits are like the rich kid who's not smart enough or talented enough to get into school so daddy simply buys off the administrators to secure junior's entry. If these morons get their way and strong-arm their beliefs into reality, the next owner of the Bills will have no choice but to move the team to greener pastures. Have fun rooting for only the same four or five teams with a chance to win it all every year, NFL fans.

I'm saying no if you're planning on taking Hardy in the 1st Round. He can be had in the 2nd, IMO, and if he's gone so be it. Let someone else deal with his character issues. Plus, I don't see the Bills moving down to take two WRs in the 1st Round..doesn't make sense with the other needs on this team. This draft is deep at receiver...no need to grab two that high. BTW, Kelly @ #22 would be fantastic.

Problem is, "the Bruce problem" throws all credibility out the window. Bills fan or not, the only DEs who can even be debated as being better than Bruce are Reggie White and Deacon Jones. Period. Howie Schlong??? Puh-lease.
