"It wouldn't surprise me if the guy is sand bagging in a way to get out of town . Sittin back collecting a check & probably a pretty good one , just waiting to get out of Buffalo." . . . . Really? How about this theory: He's just not very good! I hope he goes out and proves us all wrong, but I doubt he'll be on the roster come 9/11. I really do hope he is, but I just doubt it.

That's a little harsh for Levi Brown, a free-agent practice squad 1st year QB--not sure he deserves this. And when did we trade him to the Cardinals?

Yes! The Bills are not in a position to be letting one of their better players go. Especially from a unit that has to get better. Granted, he's not elite, but he's not bad. As has been pointed out, letting him walk, only creates another need on team with too many needs as it is.

That is funny! More proof of how out of touch MSNBC is.

If the Broncos make that offer, grab it and run like you stole something!!!

The survey doesn't make sense. What about a question to boycott the entire Preseason. No fans at any preseason games, that would be saying something, and interesting to see. Anyhow, doesn't matter, when the season starts, we'll all be there.

yeap!

Thomas would be worth the investment, I'm not convinced any of the others are any better than what we have.

Hate to be the Debbie Downer here, but news flash: The Bills will not sign any FA lineman, the starter will come from the current crew. They are young, and developing, I think will be better, it takes time. But don't expect them to land any new people, and I doubt they'll even seriously look. Our only hope is that the current options improve and make the line better.

He deserved the pub.

So would could he do with an athlete like Vince Young ???? Yeap! You hit the nail on the head. If these two breakout, we're in a good position for a play-off run. If not, same-old-same-old.

Would love to get Vince Young if he becomes available, which it appears he will . . . he with Chan's creativeness, could be a lethal combination.

Of ours, the only one worth fighting for is Poz. But go after Thigpen as a back-up.

quit yelling

Why? He's pretty much the same thing as Fitz. Makes sense if you're a Super Bowl contending team, and all parties involved understand he is insurance. But a team like the Bills doesn't need insurance, they need a QB to develop. And as for him, if he's going to sit, he wants to sit on a team going places with a chance for the ultimate prize--those are teams that need insurance. Just don't see it, from either perspective.

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.
