Well...with a reach in the 2nd for a NT (that has the weight of a 4-3 DT) and a reach for a 4-3 DE in a 3-4 Defense (that is freakishly athletic but lazy) let's get Selvish Capers a converted TE to play LT. We might as well pick up Trinton Holliday (5'5 punt returner) to play OLB or FB in the 6th or 7th.

"willing" blocker is a polite way of saying he isn't good at it, but he'll try. It is like saying a woman is "nice", has a "sweet disposition", when it is a cover to say that she isn't too attractive on the outside.

Too many projects.

Actually, it doesn't. We've filled the stadium all of the time over the last 10 years without a winning philosophy.

And, we care because?

Couldn't have said it better. A player is a reach when the player doesn't perform.

We don't need a waterbug guy on this team as a round 1-4 option. Pickup up Trinton Holliday. The guy is 5'5 and 160 sopping wet, but the guy runs about a 4.25. Bring him in four 3-5 plays per game just to keep the defense honest. He can be picked up in the 7th round or after the draft.

When I see him, I see "great athlete." He is the poor man's version of Tim Tebow having played at a lesser named collegiate football program. Yeah...Kordell Stewart, Pat White, "Option Quarterbacks", come to mind. If the Bills are sold on this college "pistol" offense, then sure, I'd take him in the 5th round, but otherwise, I would pass.

Uhhhh...no! LenDale White was great in college for one of the better college teams of the last 20 years, but Lynch is much more valuable than a 1-2 yard plunger that gets 3-5 handoffs a game and gets 11 yards.

That is it. Nothing else needs to be said about the CB position.

Did you say two potential 1,500 yard backs?

Todd McShay was on ESPN radio today talking about how odd the OT's are in this draft and how they are ranked. He mentioned that people he has talked to say Trent Williams is the most talented OT in this draft, but he does have a history of weight issues and isn't very dedicated (stays up late) and doesn't play with fire. He said that Davis is extremely talented, but all he has heard from coaches, and people in the industry is that he isn't a hard worker. He never worked hard at Rutgers and many football people think this personality may translate to the NFL. McShay also said that Okung is solid but nothing spectacular. He can play both sides and has the character and work ethic to show no concerns for his ability to be solid in the NFL. He said Bulaga has been well-coached, but he is a solid RT in this league that should be slotted at the end of the 1st round or early 2nd. But, OT is such a critical position that teams will naturally reach for such a coveted position. Campbell was also listed as an unknown. He's built perfectly to be a LT and had great workouts, but he is very raw, but he has the size, arm length, and body that intrigues personnel people. According to McShay... Talent: 1. Trent Williams 2. Anthony Davis 3. Russell Okung 4. Bryan Bulaga Stability or Lack of Concerns 1. Okung 2. Bulaga 3. Williams 4. Davis Does this change your opinion about the 1st round pick or the OT's?

Welcome to the posting world, CSBill. Clausen isn't my favorite choice, but I do think he is the best person for the Bills at #9 besides a Okung or Bulaga. The board has been filled with hopes of Gaither. I'd be happy with him for a second round pick if the Bills already have a reasonable extension lined up after a trade would occur. I think your spot on with the fact that a quarterback and OT are major needs and Gaither would be the best option available possibly with a 2nd round pick. And, Clausen is the 2nd best quarterback in this class. He is good value at #9 if his college game translates into the NFL.

Our Quarterback Situation Most of us agree that there is a mixed bag on Clausen and any other quarterback not named Bradford in this draft. Tebow is a project. Campbell is a retread and not worth a pick in Rounds 1-3. Colt McCoy will be gone before our #41 pick. And, do we really want to put our future in the hands of a guy named Skeleton or Lefevour? If Buffalo really thinks Clausen is the guy, and he's there, then go for it. Otherwise, I really don't see a need to get a quarterback this year. Ending 2010, here is our likely quarterback situation: Fitzpatrick is gone. Edwards gets this year to prove whether he is worth keeping around in a new system or not. If Edwards fails, then Brohm is likely are new backup and has a year in the new system. No matter who we have a quarterback, this team won't be better than 8-8. An 8-8 record nets us a pick between #10-#15 in most years for 2011. 4 Talented Quarterbacks in 2011 There are four (4) talented quarterbacks available in 2011 that will likely go in the first round. There is Jake Locker, Ryan Mallett, Andrew Luck, and Pat Devlin. Locker, the stud from the state of Washington, and Mallett (Arkansas) (by scouting accounts) were considered to be Top 15 talent had they come out in this draft. Luck (Stanford) and Devlin (Delaware) appear to be first round players at the QB position. With these two premises in mind, hear me out. Buffalo can still get its future quarterback while also building its offensive and defensive lines. Two Year Plan (2010 & 2011) 2010 Draft #9 Pick (Buffalo trades its #9 pick (valued at 1,350) for San Francisco's #17 pick (valued at 950) and its second round pick #45 (valued at 450). Buffalo trades this #17 pick for a 1st rounder from a team in 2011. (If it the team is perenially crappy, then the trade is straight-up.) If it is generally a playoff team, then a 1st and 3rd rounder in 2011 works. #41 Pick Buffalo trades it's second round pick #41 and one of its 6th round picks for Jared Gaither (OT). #45 Pick Buffalo get Cam Thomas (NT) Buffalo now has its starting NT and a starting OT on the left side. The rest of the 2010 draft is spent filling holes at OLB/RT/DE. 2010 Season Buffalo finishes the season at 7-9 or 8-8 giving them a 1st round pick between #10-#15. 2011 Draft For Bills (Two Options) 1. Buffalo can use its two 1st Round Picks (between #10-#15) and either a top (15 1st round pick from a crappy team) or a (Bottom 1st round pick between #20-#32 and a 3rd from a playoff caliber team to draft to use to acquire Locker or Mallett. Buffalo then has a 2nd round pick and its 3rd round pick to fill needs. 2. Buffalo can get Luck or Devlin as its starting QB in 2011 in the 1st round. Then, the team has the flexibility of filling holes at WR, RT, DE, or LB with its other 1st round pick, 2nd round pick, and two 3rd Round Picks Conclusion of the 2010 and 2011 Two Year Plan Give Edwards and Brohm a chance to earn the 2010 spot. Don't go after a project in LeFeveour, Brown, or Skeleton. Don't go after a retread in Bulger or Campbell. If Edwards or Brohm succeed, great! If not, either one is a serviceable backup. The Bills will then have two 1st round picks going into a deep 2011 quarterback class. LT and NT have already been filled in 2010 with Gaither and Thomas. The Bills still have a core group of DB's in McGee, McKelvin, Florence, Byrd, Scott, and Wilson. The Bills still have Evans. The Bills have a better line with Levitre's growth and a healthier Eric Wood. The Bills have a good running back group with Jackson and Lynch. The Bills have a decent linebacker group with POZ, Davis, Maybin, and Mitchell. The major needs in 2011 are probably quarterback, wide receiver, defensive end, outside linebacker, and right tackle. With two 1st round picks, a 2nd round pick, and the possibility of two 3rd round picks, Buffalo fills the gaps in the 2011 draft with young talent in those areas. Gailey fills in other holes with mid-level free agents in the 2011 offseason. The Bills become a playoff contending team again in 2012 by following a similiar plan! Go Bills!

This is called being a Homer or myopic. It is when a person only sees football from the perspective of a fan of their favorite team. While this is to be applauded from a loyalty standpoint, it is to be corrected when it comes to sound football thought. Lee Evans is not a top 10 receiver in the league. He could be with solid quarterback play. Lee Evans is not worth two first round picks. He isn't worth one. I agree with you that Lee Evans should be kept, but please go beyond your "Fandom" before you end up putting Lee Evans ahead of Jerry Rice in the Hall.

I think Griffin is talented, but Buffalo should only be looking at Griffin if there is a trade down into the mid 20's; otherwise, he isn't worth a top 10 pick.

Freddie Barnes, WR, Bowling Green, Round #7 (1st of Buffalo's two 7th round picks...to Buffalo Bills)

Stranger things have happened, but you take Spikes in the 4th round if this scenario is presented.

Lynch may get you a 3rd rounder, but adding Parrish and Whitner to the deal probably takes it to a 4th.

Absolutely spot on. I guarantee it. Tebow falls somewhere between 28-36. As for Jim Kelly being the best Bill of all-time, sorry, this title belongs to Bruce Smith.

The University of Nevada, Reno runs the pistol offense. They put up a lot of points, but the passing game is almost obslete. Besides being mobile, the quarterback needs to be strong to take hits as well as have an offensive line that can hold blocks longer than usual. It is a college offense. If the Bills want some package of this offense okay, but the Bills don't need to continue acting like a college football team. Time for a real offense.

Yikes...the only two worth looking at are Okung (won't be available) and Charle Brown (will be available between 15-45). I've heard he is moving up draft boards...whatever that means any way.

There are several McCluster like players available in the draft, and the Bills have one in Parrish. The problem is he is the product of crappy coaching and use. I'll pass on McCluster. Snead is the newest version of JaMarcus Russell with a smaller arm and less prestigious college program....Pass! Shipley is going to be a good player, but he's only good in the slot position. In other words, he's a #3 receiver. If the Bills got him in round #3 or later, then this is a good pickup. I wouldn't mind taking McCoy, but he's going to go before the Bills #41 pick. The only way I would take him is we trade down in the 1st round for an additional second. Then, I would consider Colt. I'd consider two out of these four players.
