The Bills may not draft Gabbert but the comparisons between him and Trent are far more ridiculous than the comparisons between Miller and Maybin.

Unless he would have gone in on kickoffs and tackled Kevin Dyson I'm thinking the same exact thing.

I don't know, I'd say the Lions played better after drafting Ndomukong Suh than they did after picking Matthew Stafford.

@KC- Loss Oak- Win Pats- Loss @Cinci-Win Philly-Loss @NYG-Win: Upset alert Wash-Win NYJ-Loss @Dallas-Loss @Miami-Loss @NYJ -Loss Tenn-Loss @SD-Loss Miami-Win Denver-Win @NE-Loss 6-10, I just don't see us finishing much better than last year.

Safe bet as to who will be playing the first Sunday night game: NFL schedule preview: Will Giants-Jets mark NFL's Sept. 11 tribute? Those are two of our 2011 opponents whom we won't be playing in week one if this comes true.

I thought for sure Rodgers would win this. Hillis had a nice year but I'm surprised he won that. I hope he wins it all now since Vick was already on the cover once.

If next year's first round pick was included in the trade but the draft gets canceled next year wouldn't we just get their first rounder in 2013? That would be pretty lame if we don't get their first round pick just because there's no draft next year.

I agree with the OP, I think he's the right guy for now. I don't know about long-term but I would like him for the next 2-4 years. And no I don't think we need a dominant defense, just an improved one. Our defense was abysmal last year and yet look at some of the games we almost won with him. I really think we need to give him a chance after a full off-season of working with Chan (not entirely sure how the lockout will effect this though). And the question I would pose is if he's not then who is? I personally like Gabbert but I could be dead wrong and he could turn out to be a bust. We probably won't be drafting him anyway.

I wonder what kinds of games they will schedule for the first few weeks. If the lockout goes into October and, instead of canceling the season all together, they have to shave off the first couple of weeks they probably don't want too many important games to be voided out.

Not saying that I would have been right about all of these but: 2006 Whitner (kidding) Ngata 2007 Lynch 2008 McKelvin or Rogers-Cromartie 2009 Orakpo or Oher 2010 McClain (even though he was taken one pick before us)

It seems that the Whitner pick at #8 from five years ago still has people scared of picking DBs so high. I think it's pretty clear though that that particular pick was not a smart one from the get-go. Peterson, even as high as #3, is a much safer pick than Whitner was. I wouldn't mind taking him at #3 and picking D-lineman and linebackers in rounds 2/3.

He had pretty good defenses (not amazing), one good wide receiver (before DeSean Jackson came along) who threw him under a bus after only one and a half seasons, and a running back who was injured most of his career. He didn't have much to work with in Philly and yet they were good year after year. The Eagles would have been a playoff team maybe 2 or 3 times without McNabb and yet they went to 5 championship games with him. For that reason, I am not a fan of drafting Cam but if we do I will give him a chance and reserve the boos for the field if he does indeed turn out to be a bust.

1. Bowers - This is more of a risk then before with the knee surgery but I still think with that aside he's the best front 7 player in the draft 2. Quinn - Has doesn't take plays off and he has good size and strength with more explosiveness most of the other d-linemen IMO. Last year's suspension doesn't bother me. 3. Peterson - DB is not one of our greatest needs but when a guy is being compared to Champ Bailey I would not have a problem if we drafted him

I get that Vick had a great year but I don't think someone who has already been on the cover once should get on again. Not voting for him!

Beat me to it

Let them have him. We're 3-0 against him.

I've been a big fan of picking this guy in the 3rd round if he's there. I like his athleticism, leadership, and experience playing the position. While I'm still not a Chan backer I do believe that he can correct any downside to Kaepernick's game. He could turn out to be like Jamarcus Russell with no pocket awareness and no accuracy or he could prove to have more than just a strong arm like Cutler did. I don't mind taking that chance in round 3.

I'd take Bowers over Dareus any day.

draft someone who will put Newton on his back 4 times the next time we play Carolina

I actually agree, I think this would be a great idea and send a strong message to sports in general particularly the next time something like this comes around. Unfortunately, I don't think too many people would go along with it.

I am also big on Quinn. In fact, I'd take him over Dareus. Dareus just seems too sluggish and poorly conditioned and Quinn seems to have a much better work ethic. The suspension doesn't bother me that much since it wasn't for criminal behavior or performance enhancers or anything like that.

I like the idea. I believe they did it once in the 93 season. While it might not make more money via ticket sales I would think it should make more money thorugh TV. Whenever the Bills are on a bye I don't just take the day off from watching football. I watch the next best game and I'm thinking most other people probably do too.

I know, how on earth is Cleveland not up there? They would probably be my number 1 with Buffalo in 2nd. I checked the rest of the top 10 and even though the Phillies won the world series a couple of years ago I was surprised to see that Philadelphia wasn't in the top 10 somewhere. The Eagles were basically the team of the last decade that most closely resembled us in the 90s.

This guy could improve our run defense dramatically (which should be our top priority). Not concerned about this surgery. I still say we will be making a huge mistake if he's there at 3 and we pass him up.

I hope not. Cromartie is terrible.
