bills in va

Do you actually believe the B.S. you are selling or are you just trying to piss people off. Levitre is not an NFL tackle. Wood may not be back to start the season. Butler retired. No left tackle. Bell and Merideth are backups. THE BILLS OFFENSIVE TACKLE SITUATION IS DIRE! THE ONLY HEALTHY STARTERS UNDER CONTRACT ARE HANG/LEVITRE.

Don't forget that the Bills worked him out at OLB last year when Ellison went down. He couldn't shed guards or centers either. He couldn't drop or cover screens. He is a bust for a number #11 pick. We could have picked up a fourth rounder to play OLB in a 3-4. BUUUSSSTTTTTTT

WRONG! The Bills worked him out at OLB when Ellison went down. He couldn't handle dropping into coverage for his third of the field, not even for screens. He couldn't shed blockers either so they had to go with Scott at OLB. Before you "make statements like that" learn the facts. MAYBINS A BUST!

I argued with people all last year regarding Maybin because I said prior to and after the draft that Oher was the best pick at #11 . Maybin may go down in Bills history as the worst pick ever! He cannot play OLB in a 3-4 scheme. They worked him out there on the outside last year and he was lost in space. If he only has to rush on every down then he may get a sack next year, but what a wasted pick. We could have taken a OLB last year in the 4th or 5th round to be one dimensional.BUST!

I've watched alot of Cambell over the past several years. He is a significant upgrade over anything we have. He is tough, physical, great arm, smart enough and is a good teammate. His footwork has improved as well as the number of turnovers. He is not a vocal leader, indecisive at times and just plain dull. Take it from somebody who watches every Skins and Bills game, he would be good for us this year so we could cut Edwards and even Fitz but he's not the long term answer. If we trade for him AND draft a QB that would be great.

I agree. I would take Bulaga at #9 and then Velheer in round 4.

No Way we trade for Brian. He's been good but he's 1 shot to the head away from retirement. Stop with the knee-jerk reactions and think about it.

I think you need to be flexible and not hold to a single draft philosphy. The BILLS team needs in some areas are glaring, such as O-Line and NT. We should draft the best available OT and NT in the first 1-2 rounds; and then the best player available the rest of the way focusing on QB, DE, OLB, WR. We should shy away from secondary help in rounds 3-5 becasue we are set there for several years, pick up a CB/S in rounds 6-7 if there is a good one still on the board. My draft would look something like this, not exactly but within this framework: 1 OL Give me Baluga 2 NT Take Williams 3 QB I like Lefevour 4OL Maybe Veldeer is still available 5OLB Bowman out of Penn state (he shares my last name) 6WR, DE best available player 7OLB, CB best available or best player on the board This would be a good draft for this year. If we trade down and get an extra pick-great. We will need FA's to fill depth roles or starting roles as well. This years crop of FA isn't too exciting but there is good depth at OLB, OL.

Thanks for making my point so well for me. You would draft a safety with our number 9 pick. Enough said, you don't need me to tell you that your ignorant, just keep posting. I don't typically bash a fellow BILLS fan, I will make an exception for you because I can't help myself.

My strategy for this draft would be to focus on both lines, then QB and LB, then WR and best available at the end. :You say my strategy sucks w/o knowing it...your ignorance on full display. You can't use hindsight and say we could have drafted him, instead we took this guy who didn't work out, that's spilled milk. I am saying that we have many serious holes to fill and we better get offensive tackles, nose tackles, linebackers before the start of the season or we are screwed. I do not care who is the best player on your board when you pick. You pick the best player available to fill major holes like OT and NT. You go ahead and pick Eric Berry if he is there at # 9, that would be foolish. If we don't do something about our lines we are done.

Levi Jones? I watched every play last year for the Redskins. He sucked....Nothing left in the tank. He got beat like a drum and looked worse than Mike Williams. If Levi Jones is your answer to fix our OL woes, please get a frontal labotomy and start watching curling reruns on sundays.

Your draft strategy sucks! So if the best player on the board in round one is a safety, you'd take him instead of the best OT left? Your strategy is seriously flawed, glad your not our GM. If we are stacked at a position, like safety, and we have no tackles, then you would take another safety?

"Fair Deal" The Eagles will demand a premium for McNabb. I would rather use our first two rounders on a LT and QB if possible. Again I am not against bringing him in at all, it is the tall price we'll pay for having him 2-3 years. The posters who think we are ready to make a deep playoff run by trading high draft picks for him are uninformed. We have alot of holes to fill, AND we are switching defense schemes. I have not read one argument on this post that makes me believe we can win a Superbowl by trading for McNabb. We will give up too much and just set us back. I would rather draft well the next two years and build our team that way. Then we'll be ready to compete in 3-4 years for a title.

And when exactly has he ever stayed healthy? We need 2 tackles in either the draft-FA or combination of the two.

Trading our future for McNabb would be a mistake. I believe he is a good quarterback and could help us win more games next year, but he is not taking us to the Superbowl. We need a franchise QB, solid 3-4 defense (currently missing 2-4 LB's, NT, DE ) and improved lines on both sides of the ball. Trading for McNabb only sets us back in getting all the players we need to reach the Superbowl. It will cost us at least 2-3 draft picks and maybe a player or two. It is too high a price for a team with so many holes to fill. Do not be short-sighted! We need to have a blue print that will lead to a Superbowl ring in 3-4 years, trading for McNabb will not bring us a Superbowl victory, only set us backwards.

It would take more than he's worth. We are not built to win now. By the time we have good enough talent on our roster McNabb will be gone. We should have a 3-4 year plan that involves getting a franchise QB and above average talent around him, we have neither. It is not worth the draft picks to get McNabb for a few years. I say we build from the inside-out and get our franchise QB this year if possible, but if not pick him up next year. DO NOT be short-sighted and jump on the McNabb bandwagon. We are 3-4 years from competing for a superbowl. Let's use our draft picks wisely, build a great 3-4 defense, get a franchise QB and then be ready to eat Buffalo wings during the superbowl watching our BILLS!

Are you serious? Our talent at LT sucks! Bell is in way over his head, he is at most a backup or practice squad. If you're advocating to go into this season without a significant upgrade in talent at LT then you my friend are ignorant to the game. We need to draft a LT in either round 1 or 2 and maybe agin in later rounds. Butler is not guarenteed for next year coming off another knee injury. Our OL killed this team last year and I for one do not want to repeat our mistakes.

I would also sign Garcia...to coach our quarterbacks, not to play.

Actually Gholston produced better numbers, granted Maybin had less PT. But if he was any good then he would have seen the field more. I think Maybin=Gholston.

Tennessee boy it's Virginia boy. Put down the shine when your logged on; don't pick up the key to the 4-wheeler or pickup. Turn on Springer, fry up some scrapple and check on your trailcam. Just stop posting when drinking the clear your making us country boys look bad.

Based on WHAT? Becasue you wouldn't give up a first rounder on principal, value...why? WE SUCK AT DRAFTING! Ralph Wilson is still here and has a big say as to who we pick. There is not 1 first rounder we've drafted that I wouldn't trade for McNabb, except for Kelly. We usually totally blow our top pick. So unless you can provide a good argument to not trade #9 for Donavan...then you're not making sense.

Wrong! Could not disagree with you more. We need a stud LT more than other teams becasue we don't have a franchise QB. I saw in another post on Rumblings the thought of moving down to #15 to get Buluga and picking up another 1st or 2nd by trading picks. I like that idea of moving down a bit to get our LT. Unless we can get the best 1 or 2 QB's, we have to take a LT with our first pick. Give me a Jake Long, Dbrickashaw Ferguson, Joe Thomas and we will be set for 10 years at the most important line position.

What is this based on? Be more responsible, don't make things up to fill the cyber air.

I would give them Lynch, who they need with Westbrook out and a 3rd rounder. Then they are trading probowlers and we get a great QB for 3-4 years. Draft the best LT in round 1, DT or LB in round 2 and 4, more lineman in rounds 5-6 and best available with last 3 picks. I think we have 9 total picks.

What was the point in drafting Peyton Manning when the Colts had a poor OLine at the time? Your argument makes no sense.
