Yes, that has been making the rounds. Another interesting tidbit reported by Sirius NFL Radio was that there may mave been an internal debate raging in the Titans camp leading up to the draft. Apparently, word on the street in Tennessee was that if the Titans chose Young it was an indication that the owner won out; if it was Leinart, then the coaching staff won out.

Soooooooooooooooo, those are his first day losers? Does he have a list of one, with himself as the benefactor, of his life-long losers? Seriously, this nerd has got to be the worst so callled "insider" I have ever seen. Another example of ESPN's continued slide into mediocrity.

Maybe not...there was a Carpenter taken in the first round.

I'm with you. Don't assume anything. Most people didn't think Gilles would still be on the board to start day two. You never know...

Not to worry. I'm sure we can pick up an undersized slot receiver at #42.

Here's my post: "It's not about whether or not he's a good player, because he is. It's about value, and the Bills didn't get it with their pick. Although they needed a safety, OL and DL were higher priorities. A trade down would have been the way to go, regardless of whether or not they lost Whitner. Bottom line: this kid better be a stud because it was stupid to take him that high." Where do I advocate reaching for any of those players? "A trade down would have been the way to go..." was my main point. That's the big deal. Maybe they couldn't find a partner, who knows? I just don't like this pick at #8.

Amen. It's not about whether or not he's a good player, because he is. It's about value, and the Bills didn't get it with their pick. Although they needed a safety, OL and DL were higher priorities. A trade down would have been the way to go, regardless of whether or not they lost Whitner. Bottom line: this kid better be a stud because it was stupid to take him that high.

The draft starts at noon, EST...the Bills should pick around 2:00. So set your VCR or TiVO or you're more than likely going to miss their pick.

Because he's a 2-gap tackle and the Bills will be employing a 1-gap scheme.

Don't get me wrong...I'd be very happy if the Bills took Davis. My scenario was only speculation if the Bills were interested in Justice. Obviously, we won't know their true thinking until they make their first selection. I'd rather have Davis or see them trade down than select Ngata.

I concur. The Bills need Losman or Nall to pan out. If journeyman Holcomb wins the job, this team is headed for another dismal season and beyond, IMHO.

Maybe. Or maybe they take Hawk. The point is, if Davis is still on the board at #8, the Rams would be the most logical trade partner for the Bills. No matter what, things are definitely getting interesting.

Agreed on both points. If the Bills are interested in Justice, a likely trade partner for them would be St. Louis who is sitting at #11. The Rams would love to have Vernon Davis and could almost guarantee him with the #8 pick. Justice is climbing most draft boards and more than likely wouldn't be available in the Vikings slot at #17.

How do you know that by only staying in a higher slot that the Bills will get a quality player? Did Mike Williams tell you?

Apparently, he double assed it since he reportedly showed up overweight and out of shape.

I agree, T. Moulds and his fugging "advisor" got what they wanted, the Texans got what they wanted (at their price), and the Bills...well, they make the concession and settle for less than their asking price. Would Houston draft a receiver in the fifth and pay him what they're paying Moulds? Hell no. Plus, he's a seasoned vet, ready to step in and take the load off of Andre Johnson. If the Bills were settling for a fifth, it should have come with a swap of fourths.

"The rest of the 2006 regular-season schedule will be finalized and announced in April." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/9340852

If Moulds does go, the best part about it will be not having to hear his "spokesperson" run his mouth thru the media. Enough already. Your boy wants out, we get it.

You had me at idiot. This team has too many holes to fill on both lines to be taking a chance on a QB in Round 1, much less one most "experts" are divided on when it comes to his ability to play in the NFL. Agreed. He'll be gone in the 2-4 range, IMHO. Barring a trade, I say the Saints take him at #2 since they've acquired Brees. No way is he around at #8 for the Bills.

Stop making sense, Tipster. Are you trying to be the voice of reason around here or something? Just what this board needs...a rational thinker. Sheesh!

...who takes every chance he can to diss the Bills and Sabres. In fact, he goes out of his way to make sure people here in Richmond know he is from Buffalo but in no way a fan of either team. He's made mention many times of his favorite NFL team, the Minnesota Vikings, and his favorite NHL team, the NY Rangers. His team preferences aside, I just don't like his style. I think he's too much of a kiss a$$ in his interviews. Thank God I got Sirius satellite radio! Their NFL radio and ESPN radio beat the hell out of the local sports hacks here. Plus Howard Stern and the many music channels are waaaaaaaaaay better than any of the garbage they play over the airwaves. BTW, I loved Howard Simon with WNSA/Empire. If he's as bad now as many of you say, it's a real shame. Truly a loss for Bills and Sabres fans everywhere.

Miami.

FWIW (from Allen Wilson of 'The Buffalo News'): "According to NFL sources, Reed got a four-year, $10 million contract that includes a $2 million signing bonus. " http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20060...?tbd1064548.asp Could the "NFL sources" be Clayton? Funny, but I can't seem to find the specific terms listed anywhere else, either.

Really?? Because he hasn't signed anyone that you've heard of before???When the fug did you ever run a pro football front office???! Get a grip, down some retatta, and give the man a chance to fail before you deem him a failure. The "ICE" mentality on this board these days is fugging unbelievable. Waaaaaaaaaay too many 13 year olds posting before learning how to develop a cognitive thought. Oops, am I guilty of reverse ageism?
