The Bills 2012 first round draft pick will be a WR. Guaranteed. How do I know this? Go re-read John Wawrow's AP article from a month or so ago when Ralph Wilson told JW that Fitz needs receivers to throw to.

If I remember correctly, when they picked Troup, Nix said the "draft experts" felt other NTs were ranked higher, but he trusted his own scouting reports. The 2010 draft class was a disaster, and Modrak was let go the following year. Wonder if this Troup pick played into the decision to dump Modrak?

If you were, you'd know how to spell your own last name.

Why is everyone so worried about Stevie signing somewhere else? The Bills can use their franchise tag on him. The tag for WR is somewhere around 7.5 mil. I think that's a good number for him.

How many times can he tell his boss that he has no answers? The owner himself hasn't had any answers in 12 years. Business as usual.

I think the biggest problem is we need Dareus AND Miller AND Green. It's hard to find ALL those guys in one draft. But they need to find them quickly and not waste their top picks. Hopefully Dareus is the start of a run of good draft picks.

So did Phil Simms actually say something negative about Luck? Or did he just say don't immediately annoint him the next Peyton Manning?

They punted from the Eagles 38 yd line earlier in the game. They would have punted.

No that was Eklund Kelly (e4)

Cowherd's been high on the Bills all year. He picked them to beat the Chiefs back in week one.

Yes, the AFC East still goes through New England. He's right. The Patriots have won the AFC East 8 out of the last 10 years. Just like the AFC East went through Buffalo during the Kelly years.

He'll be on at 11:05 AM EST.

It's not random, it's planned. Did you know the Lions and Cowboys play EVERY Thanksgiving? (queue the dramatic music)

I'm done giving Ralph Wilson credit for things that happened 40 years ago. I don't give a damn. You know what I care about? The future. You think Cleveland fans cared about what Art Modell did for their city back in the early days of the NFL? Nope. The only thing they cared about was the team leaving.

They aren't going to LA. They're going to Toronto. Ever wonder why Rogers paid such a high pricetag for those Bills games? By moving some Bills games to Toronto, it technically makes Toronto part of the Bills market now. Therefore, when someone from Toronto (Rogers) buys the team, they don't have to pay the 1 billion dollar team relocation fee. The amount of money they are losing on the Bills in Toronto package is a lot cheaper than paying the relocation fee.

Isn't Overdorf a son-in-law or something to Ralph Wilson? That would explain why he can wield the sword without repercussion.

Who cares if Miami finishes above or below us? The only thing that matters is competing with NE.

Trading up for McCargo wasn't as bad as people think. Think about it like this: they for sure would have used their 2nd round pick on him if available, so that pick is gone either way. So the only additional pick they gave up was a 3rd round pick. So we didn't get a chance to draft Ashton Youboty or Trent Edwards. Darn. Plus, look at the 06 draft with regards to DT. After McCargo was picked at #26, 42 picks went by before another DT was picked. The DT talent (as it was ranked on teams boards) dropped off quite a bit after McCargo. He is a prime example of why you don't draft for position. You take the best talent available.

You're right. The Bills always start the best players all the time, regardless of talent level or where they were picked in the draft. Regards, Jabari Greer

I want him to say they'll look at other available free agents to replace Poz. The only obvious thing after the fact is they wanted a real NFL-caliber starting ILB on their team. If they felt so good about their existing ILBs, they would never have went after Poz in the first place. It seems the Bills would either spend $40 mil on their own guy, or just shove it under the mattress. There is no middle ground. I hope they have plans to snatch an ILB who gets cut on Thursday.

It's obvious Buddy is waiting until Thursday to snag some talent that gets cut due to cap issues. 2 serviceable years out of an aging vet will give them enough time to develop the players they drafted, and keep them competitive in the interim.

Here's the question I wished they would have asked Buddy: If you are so happy with the ILBs you already have under contract, why were you willing to spend $40 million to add another one?

he taught Helen Keller how to read.

Positive. This is the list voted on by the NFL players airing on the NFL network. Not the one from Pro Football Focus.

If they do a list next year, I think Dareus will make the list. 2010 rookies did make the list. Buffalo's own Mike Williams came in at #83.
