I disagree wholeheartedly with the bolded statement. Robert Gallery was the surest thing in the draft the year he came out and went #2 overall to the raiders. He couldn't play lt so they tried rt when he couldn't play there they bumped him to guard. He wasn't resigned moved on to the seahawks who cut him to save salary this year. Not exactly a sure thing. Bryan Bulaga has fared much better on the right side. He was blocked from lt by chad clifton and has yet to play lt. He was drafted 23 overall and has performed well in his role. Eric Steinbach was drafted in the second round and has been excellent at guard for his career. However he sat out all of last year with a back injury. So the 3 player I listed were all big ten offensive lineman of the year players. The value of Bulaga and Steinbach is because the were much later than the 10th pick. If either were taken there it would have been a stretch. However the Bills are looking for a LT! Which Iowa guys have yet to prove being capable of playing, and are certainly not the best value or a sure thing as you state.

Cam Newton and Ben Roethlisberger at 6'5" were conveniently left off this list. Although I won't rave about Osweiller's skillset I will say he looks to be pretty mobile and agile for his size, not the statue that most people that size tend to be.

In theory yes I agree with you. However the value needs to be there for the trade to work out. To trade down in the top 10 I would want the value to work out in my favor. In the original scenario the Eagles would come out at +35. Getting the numbers to equal out between these two teams would require maybe the eagles 5th rounder as an add on.

damn beat me to it!

looking at the numbers the trade does not favor the Bills. 10 - 1300 71 - 235 15 - 1050 46 - 440 also I will go on record as saying I dont think reiff will be any good in the nfl. Seems every couple of years an iowa lineman is rated highly and they don't pan out.

I would take Blackmon over the trade but if he isn't there I take the trade.

Alright here is my first crack at it since all workouts are pretty much over... 10 - Whitney Mercilus DE - I know the pass rush was beefed up but this kid screams stud to me. 41 - Juron Criner WR zona - about the same measurables as Floyd with great catching ability snags ball away from body which is something I always want from a WR 71 - Lavonte David DE/OLB - been discussed ad nauseum on here explosive 105 - Matt McCants LOT UAB - back to back first team all conference 124 - Nate Potter LOT Boise - double dipping at lt I know but it is an area of need and I like Potter 144 - DeQuan Menzie CB Bama - I think he will go earlier drafttek says he'll go later so I split the difference, Played opposite Kirkpatrick so was tested often and held up very well. 147 - BJ Coleman QB Chattanooga - developmental qb and one that I believe (may be mistaken) has ties to Nix. Strong Arm, Mobile, and supposedly a great passion for the game 178 - Marvin McNutt WR Iowa - Holds Iowa career records for yards and tds and 7 behind leader for receptions 217 - Cliff Harris CB Oregon - Absolute steal if he is still here 251 - Adrian Hamilton DE/OLB Prairie View - Shout out to Damond but this kids highlights are sick. There is a thread about him if you'd like to see it. I used draftteks rankings and picked my own players. Some of their rankings are questionable but its what I used.... what do you guys think?

That is why Easley was a 4th round pick though. There is no comparison between the 2. If Hill were to go in the 4th I don't think anyone would care about the number of catches and be more wowed with his measurables. I don't think Hill will go in the top 20 and would be surprised if anyone took a flyer on him in the 1st at all.

nope I am too see my post above

Skinny build and suspect arm strength yes but your links do not help your argument. Kellen Moore completed more passes in each of his years than Pat White attempted. Think about that for a second. Moore had 142 tds to 28 ints. White threw for 56 tds to 23 ints. As players I don't see it and that is what matters to me. Besides Pat White was black and Kellen Moore is white don't you know you can't compare the 2? :devil: :devil: I keed I keed

One of the concerning things about this injury (and the same for Kyle WIlliams and Merriman) is that an Achilles injury is usually followed by hamstring injuries. I hope this isn't the case for these guys but it is worrisome to say the least.

I live out of the Buffalo market and "tools" is the only person who does extensive Bills coverage that I can hear. I enjoy his program on the way home from work and tend to listen for a bit longer sometimes as I like his takes. eh maybe... I listened to plenty of Jim Rome. I know all of the jokes, i get the premise but I just don't care for him. To each his own. I don't care for him and others do maybe it's the act I don't care for but he just rubs me the wrong way. I listen to sports talk on the way to work, at work , and on the way home. I find myself many times just turning it off when he's on because he as i've said comes across as a douche. Not sure why I got singled out but I will ask... You know this is a message board right? Where people come to post their opinions? Many times topics spin off and you can see I was clearly responding to someone else. Lastly, what exactly does your post add to the discussion other than adding your opinion on my opinion which no one apparently cares about?

Why the eff was Bob Kraft involved in this?! I know he had a relationship with the AEG ceo but who cares. I hate seeing Bob Kraft front and center actually i'll correct that - the conspiracy theorist in me hates seeing him front and center with anything related to the NFL! unless the Pats want to be the team to move

I see a time coming in the near future where depth is added in the draft and not holes being filled. I can''t wait for that to happen! What a welcome change - hope it lasts

under lol see Tiki Barber last year. Jerry will literally turn 50 this year!

I will agree 100% that he does a great interview. The rest of the time when he isn't interviewing is what bothers me. Another poster alluded to it with his 11:30 tease 11:40 tease... I prefer John Ditulio(sp?) and also enjoy the loose cannons and dan patrick.

Your right I don't and I will

and that interview is why I dislike Rome... He's been beating the UK lville horse all week - it's dead sheesh!

slightly off topic but have you guys paid attention to the potential qb draft class next year? It's exceptional! http://aol.sportingnews.com/ncaa-football/story/2012-03-23/top-college-qbs-2012-tyler-wilson-tyler-bray-mike-glennon-james-franklin-murray Matt Barkley- will more than likely be the 1st pick next year from article linked above Tyler Wilson, Arkansas, Sr.-All the measurables NFL teams crave: physical frame (6-3, 220 pounds), big arm, athleticism. Wilson plays in a pro-style system and knows (and thrives on) the NFL route tree. Tyler Bray, Tennessee, Jr-Potential—and loads of it. The biggest jump in production and grasp of the game for quarterbacks comes from the freshman to sophomore seasons. Bray was on his way to a big season last year (14 TDs, 2 INTs before thumb injury) Mike Glennon, N.C. State, Sr-Glennon’s breakthrough season (31 TDs, 12 INTs, 3,054 yards) James Franklin, Missouri, Jr-Physically, the total package. A legitimate Cam Newton-type player: a strong arm and pass-first mentality and the ability (and want) to punish defenses in the run game Aaron Murray, Georgia, Jr-A strong arm and a high quarterback IQ. He has terrific leadership skills and a rare toughness. and this doesn't include the come from nowhere prospect that will be there as well as Landry Jones. That is a lot of talent that will be available early next year!

They just signed Finnegan this offseason though so there need at cb isn't as great here is a list of their wr's and it is scary bad. Brandon Gibson Dominique Curry Danario Alexander Greg Salas Steve Smith (the former Giant) Mark Clayton Danny Amendola The only thing that would help is fisher being a defensive minded hc so he may lean towards shoring up that spot. I think if they don't take Blackmon they look to trade down near us and draft an olineman so maybe they are a viable trading partner. Still though I say they take Blackmon if he is there. I also feel there is minimal chance for the Browns to take Tannehill at 4, if that is who they want they might trade down to 6 or 7 if not later.

I agree with your idea but disagree that he will fall past the Rams. I think they have their sights set on him and are hoping he falls to them.

I read that link in another thread (there are 2 of these running simultaneously mods) and found it interesting as well. My point however was more that all positions have a lower probability of success later in the draft not just qb. Also (as I will touch on lower) that there is no harm in taking a developmental qb later on as it works out or it doesn't same as with other positions. If it does maybe you hit the lotto and end up with Brady or maybe you get an asset that can be turned into a higher pick/contributing member of your team Yes! I made the same comment in the other thread. Ron Wolf used to do this every year. If they were good he had a competent backup for cheap before they became a trade able asset. Then he would do it all over again In theory I wouldn't be opposed to this however you would need a dance partner. As for the second part of your post I think we would all agree that this is case however past regimes picks don't necessarily apply as they weren't the type of players to fit the current coaches style.

Yeah I really can't stand him either. He is pretentious and a douche. Also the show is horrible as it is filled with repetitive topics as well as a snails pace talking to elongate the section ever more. His interviews usually are good though but his filler is horrible.

I want Whitney Mercilus in a trade down. While our signings have certainly beefed up our line I would love to add this guy. I think some players that other teams will be interested in are Tannehill, Richardson, Coples, maybe even Decastro. Other teams draft boards may necessitate them jumping up in front of teams that are picking in front of them to get the player/position they want.
