Well, the logical explanation is because they worked with sheppard at the Sr. Bowl, so they know what they're getting and like it. And, a lot of other teams passed on Wilson when he was still sitting there -- just have to trust they know more about football players than we do. And, just when I say that, two aweful words come to my head: "Aaron Maybin."

Dude is far more athletic than I would've thought . . . let's hope it translates well to the football field. Hope srings eternal on the days after the draft.

Amen!

Would love to see us get Cannon ... the unknown here is the cancer revelation that just came out. The scariest words in the English language. First and foremost, I'm sure we all wish him excellent care, victory over this aweful disease, a quick recovery, and a healthy life thereafter. As I understand it, it's a 90% treatable perdiction for him. My sister-in-law had the same thing, and gave birth to three children after she was cured. If he is truly that good, and the Bills do the homeowrk on the seriousness of his condition, it might be well worth the gamble

Sheppard said he's looking forward to lighting a fire under Marcell Dareus, the Bills' first-round pick. "I see we got big Marcell in front of me and I'm going to try to get his big butt fired up before those games so I can keep those linemen off me," he said. Buffalo News Article on Sheppard We need more players with this kind of smack ... I like him already

I'd rather see the best Linebacker here, but I think I'd be OK with Mallet ... I heard one of the talking heads say yesterday, that a scout said, when he's drafted, he'll have the strongest arm in the NFL. A strong arm is an asset at Orchard Park in Nov-Dec.

NOOOOOO!!!!! to Ponder , where ever he might be picked. He is Trent Edwards all over again. Mallet (based on ability) or Dalton (Based on results), I would be OK with - but please not by trading away picks.

Wow! Reds beat the Cubs.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!! to Ponder, losers in college don't turn out to be winners in the NFL, two words: "Trent Edwards" But back to the point of the thread, essentially the Bills already have two solid picks in Easley and Batton. Both will play, and both will contribute.

1. Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College As the '10 college season nears its end, Castonzo has met scouts' expectations and definitely has moved from a possible first-rounder to a definite first-rounder now to a possible top-10 pick. He plays with uncommon flexibility, bending knees and pass blocking with a base few tall linemen can do. He also displays a strong hand punch in pass protection, a lost art the last decade. Castonzo is not the elite athlete like the Broncos' Ryan Clady but is a solid athlete with great technique, consistency and aggressive style of play.

Well, I think we'd all like to see him develop into something, anything! But the odds are running out, based on what we've seen; my prediction is he is cut this year. It still baffles me how an entire organization could be so duped, and stupid. The average PSU fan knew he was a fraud, he wasn’t a starter at the beginning of the season, only played because the starter got hurt, racked up some big numbers against Coastal Carolina, Youngstown, and Temple, etc., then he was pretty-much shut down by the Big Ten, and had one good play in the Rose Bowl. He may have looked good “coming off the bus” at the draft combine, but the place players should be evaluated is in results in real games … and he has never had that. Why did anyone expect it would be different with Maybin at a higher level? All, which leads me to think, even though there are so many red flags, that Cam Newton should be our pick. Consider what he has done on the field, and against what, and it seems like a no-brainer. Winners win (Newton), frauds get exposed (Maybin).

If that happens, take the best athlete and football player: Newton!

best defensive player they can get at that time, line or LB

and how could you forget Maybin?

Newton yes, if not, go defense

take it and run like you stole something, because you just did

Heard Mel Kiper say yesterday that as many five QBs may go in the first round ????

Bottomline, Bills need at least one top level Linebacker out of the draft: Miller, Houston, Wilson, or Reed. I'd be happy with any one of them, and I would be really happy getting any two of them

Maybin would have been pushed backwards by the board, and would need a map amd compass to get around the horse

What hurts the most is that none of these guys even developed into regular staters, not talking stars, but first round picks that can't get in the game . . . why have the Bills been so bad? you need to look no further than their inept first round drafting over the past ten years . . . let's pray that trend reverses soon, very soon!

For our 3rd pick - don't the Bills have two 2nd round picks this year? Or, am I just wishing? Anyhow, if we do, and they would trade him (or our 3rd round pick), then YES! But I don't think anything higher than that because he would still not be the starter next year.

if that senerio happens, he will see playing time .... and plenty of it. Then you will have lots of film to make a decision. And, we will have lots of fodder to talk about another wasted draft pick. Just pick the best D-Lineman and be done with it.

I like the idea of more depth for OL, but this team needs defense and more picks, if anything. Any trade should involve more picks this year, in early rounds; otherwise, get an elite d-lineman with the number 3 pick.

Is that Kate's husband?

he won't be there, but if he was, YES! Is Farve still playing, yes, get him !!!!!
