  1. Except Randy is 6/4 and ran a 4.25 in school and a 4.27 at the combine. Also Randy was never a physical player. DR can punish DBs. Should make for lots of fun seeing if he makes it this spring/summer. Without the baggage he would have prolly gone in that run that began late in the first with Hopkins and continued into the early second. Not bad for an UDFA.
  2. That is what I think you will see.
  3. Possible. Make the Rams and Vikes think you're going to pick Austin and scoop two first round picks for #8. Browns might beat us to that trade however, especially if we blow this Austin smoke.
  4. I love great guard play as much as the next guy but to pick Warmack ahead of a guy who is a legit threat to make big plays with every touch makes no sense to me.
  5. Any QB selection is bound to be controversial this year. This is a better and more sensible draft than many others I have seen, including those produced by the so called expert talking heads. Good job. PS I love Thomas too and would like for the Bills to draft him, but I also agree that he is a later third rounder than where we will be picking. I don't think he will be there in the fourth when our number is up. If the Bearcat TE is there I think he may be our third round pick.
  6. I don't think we could afford to chance it before the 4th ( assuming no extra picks as a result of trading down) and I expect him to be long gone by then.
  7. Rams are most likely trading partners assuming current draft order and that Browns don't take Austin. 16 and 46 makes the most sense. I'd rather just pick Austin. Now if 16 and 22 were in play...
  8. Which is why I wouldn't say we should pick him until 5 or 6. There is a real risk that he will never be the player he might have been. On the other hand after APs rehab he might be a five + year starter. You will need to spend a pick. Lots of teams would be all over him as a UFA.
  9. I hope you're not probably wrong. Well you know what I mean.
  10. He's such a good football player. Does everything the position demands and does it all well. Having said that if he falls a lot because of injury I'd like the Bills to draft Lattimore. Same type of back as Fred.
  11. Take him in the 4th then. As far as the teams are concerned its old news. If they did not know it before the combine they knew it after. If you smoke dope all the time you are going to flunk the test. And HB smoked a lot of dope. Mind you, smoking dope, while not smart, is hardly a heinous crime. We are not talking Laurence Philips or even Rolando McLain here. He just needs to smarten up. He seems to understand that and why not its not rocket science. Tow the line and you are rolling in money. Don't and you are pumping gas. At the end of the day either you believe in the kid or you don't. Personally I think the very latest for him is prolly around our third round pick.
  12. There can be little doubt that a great safety who can cover and lay the wood in run support would do wonders for this D. If we were talking Barron I might agree. Don't see Vaccaro as in the same class of player and the Texas program really makes me very nervous.
  13. I hear you re Tavon but if he beats the press the odds of him scoring go way up because he is then man on man in space. If the D cheats to cover this risk opportunities open up for other WRs and RBs. There are different ways to beat the jam, not all just physicality. Footwork and moves will do it too and Tavon has the best moves since Barry Saunders.
  14. I understood him to be saying picking Austin at 8 was a Matt Millen move. There is stuff on the net including other team message boards ridiculing Matt Millen as a picker, for example an all WR draft. We know why people make fun of Matt the GM. I didn't see what this had to do with the Bills possibly picking Austin.
  15. I don't expect the Bills to pick him but I would not be upset at all if they did. Oh and as for you C Buiscut, Matt Millen also drafted Calvin Johnson. Heard of him?
  16. They are just adding up the max of all the contracts they signed. They sure weren't paid that much. It's a shame and completely unnecessary. As others have said there are plenty of good prudent professional money managers who for sure would have made all these guys much richer. I've wondered why teams don't do more to help players with these decisions.
  17. Agree. The standing buffalo is one of the coolest logos in all of sports. It's downright beautiful.
  18. I don't disagree. I would take a chance on an immature player like Honey Badger. But the risk of associating with people who are flat out bad is too great, in all walks of life including football.
  19. Moves made in heaven. Plus straight line speed and incredible quickness. Wouldn't pass on him at 8.
  20. Forget it. He's Laurence Philips, except Laurence could play, unlike RM.
  21. Well you know Skelton having a QB rating 30 points below the league average and Kolb having a QB rating above the league average maybe sheds some light on that. Remember too that Whisenhunt always favoured longer developing crossing routes to slants and quick outs. Kolb will pleasantly surprise in Marrone/hackett's O.
  22. Darius is probably scared to death of this rootin tootin gun shootin linebacker. Just sign Karlos Dansby already.
  23. Nick Saban knew how to use him and stay away from his shortcomings. He can't cover to save his life not to mention the mental mistakes. He would be useless against the Pats (or rather they would make good use of the opportunities he presented them).
