This. I enjoyed the draft and will enjoy training camp, the pre-season and the regular season, savoring every moment, both good and bad. Next year is for next year.

This guy was the consensus best receiver in the draft and filled a huge need. They did not "bet the farm" as some have claimed. They gave fair value in a trade to get the player that they wanted and desperately needed. That's how you change three straight 6-10 seasons, not by sitting back and doing nothing. I am not a kook aid drinker by any means and am as critical as the next guy if I think they have done something stupid. In this case, I cannot agree that they have. I think it was a smart move that will pay dividends. Just my opinion, but that's what I think.

This. I love our WR corps. Stronger than we have been in years. Can't wait to see them in action.

Not going to happen. He is the best QB I have ever seen at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

As soon as Williams and Woods repeatedly burn them, the double coverage will cease. Can't wait to see this WR corps in action.

Sorry, but the Bills were AFL champions long before Bill Polian ever came on board. They had a long and storied history and already had "amounted to something". He did a good job, no doubt, but he did not make the Buffalo Bills by any stretch of the imagination.

Sorry, but I think Whaley has plenty of brains. They already have four QB's on the roster. Whaley likes the guys he's got and didn't see anybody out there that he thought was better able to compete. He did a great job in the draft and before the draft. They have upgraded at WR, OL, LB, special teams and DB. The roster is more solid and deep than it has been in years. I trust his judgement and the proof will be in the pudding.

Mel Kiper is a maroon.

I like most of the moves, but this one puzzles me. There weren't two players left in the fifth that the Bills wanted so they picked up an extra seventh rounder? If there weren't two guys that you want in round five there sure as hell won't be in RD 7.

Relax man, where was he going to play? With Watkins at #1, Williams at #2 and Woods at #3, Stevie would have had to fight for playing time. I think we are stronger with those three than we have been in years. I wish Stevie well. I liked him, but he and the Bills needed to move on. Good luck to Stevie In SF and Go Bills!

They got a first rounder back, so 1+1=2-1=1. They didn't give up this year's first rounder, they traded it for Cleveland's. They gave up next year's.

Stevie is no longer the #2 WR on this roster. Watkins is #1, Williams is #2 and Woods is #3. Where does that leave Stevie? My guess is that it leaves him packing his bags.

Stevie is as good as gone. I love this pick. With Watkins, Williams and Woods, teams will really have to game plan and if they stop one, the others will get you. My guess is they trade Stevie for a sixth rounder this year.

I think it totally depends on what happens at 1-8. That will determine both rounds for the Bills. They will select BPA in the first round and whatever postion they don't address in Rd 1,they will go after in RD 2. That could mean WR in 1st or T or TE or Safety. Whichever it is will lay the groundwork for the rest of the draft.

I think we have enough cap money for the extra picks. Then don't do them. They are just for fun and it helps familiarize you with the players because you have to do a bit of research before making your picks. Nobody claimed that they were accurate.

I've been doing the fanspeak draft for weeks, just for fun with decent results. Thought I would try the first-pick one. Did it twice complete with trades and here is what I got. Round 1 Pick 30 (S.F.): Dee Ford, DE, Auburn (B) Round 2 Pick 9: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington (B+) Round 2 Pick 24 (S.F.): Antonio Richardson, OT, Tennessee (A-) Round 2 Pick 29 (S.F.): Carlos Hyde, RB, Ohio State (A-) Round 3 Pick 9: Christian Kirksey, OLB, Iowa (B) Round 4 Pick 26 (N.O.): Ahmad Dixon, SS, Baylor (A-) Round 5 Pick 9: Ed Stinson, DE, Alabama © Round 5 Pick 27 (N.O.): Brandon Coleman, WR, Rutgers (A) Round 5 Pick 29 (N.O.): Bennett Jackson, CB, Notre Dame (B+) Round 7 Pick 9: Jeremiah George, ILB, Iowa State ( Second time: Round 1 Pick 18 (NYJ): Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh (A) Round 2 Pick 10 (TENN): Dee Ford, DE, Auburn (A-) Round 2 Pick 17 (NYJ): Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech (A) Round 3 Pick 9: Cyril Richardson, OG, Baylor (A-) Round 4 Pick 22 (PHI): Ahmad Dixon, SS, Baylor (B+) Round 5 Pick 9: Charles Leno, OT, Boise State (B) Round 5 Pick 22 (PHI): Brandon Coleman, WR, Rutgers (A) Round 7 Pick 9: Avery Patterson, FS, Oregon (D)

New Orleans overpaid for Byrd. Period. The Bills have other pressing needs and I am very happy that they chose not to overpay for Byrd. He is gone and I have moved on. I suspect we will see this kind of rhetoric for years to come by disgruntled Bills fans who don't care about winning, but just want their favorite players to be overpaid. They went 6-10 multiple times with Byrd. The can do just as well or hopefully better without him.

If the choice is between Ebron and Lewan, I don't think the Bills will pick Lewan at 9. If you are going to take the third best tackle, you don't do it at 9. Take one of the other good tackles in the second or third round and grab Ebron in the first.

It's Dooley and Schultz doing the talking.

Agree completely. You don't take the 4th best anything with the #9 overall pick. Trade down or take BPA.

I hope they trade down instead of up. They already only have six picks and they need more depth of talent on this team. Trade down in the first and pick up an extra pick and they will still get a very good player, plus another player for depth later on.

This discussion is not about Byrd. The Bills did the right thing. NO overpaid for him and the Bills do not have the luxury of being able to overpay for one player. Safeties are a dime a dozen. This is about Stevie Johnson and I agree they should not trade him.

I ran the simulation several times and he always seems to be there in the third or fourth round.

I definitely see what the Bills saw in him. Enough potential to draft in round one. He showed flashes of how good he can be, but also got hurt a lot and made some rookie mistakes. This year it's do or die time. Either a breakout season or it's back to square one at QB.

I agree. If all of those guys are gone, try and trade down for more picks. I don't really see a glaring need except maybe at RT and 9 is too high for a RT. We can get a good one later and maybe pick up an extra pick.
