I'd be surprised to trade *up* from 19 and/or see the Bills trade McCoy. Biggest name - Josh Doctson. A luxury considering the current state of the defense.

It was disappointing they followed the comic closely with this plot point. Since it's been telegraphed since before Season 6 even began, it would have been a prime spot to do some original storytelling with the character and surprise everyone.

Question is which do you run if you're the Bills? A 3-3-5 alignment or a 4-2-5?

I'm with many that didn't find the cliffhanger the best approach. I like that the show is moving away from the walkers as a major threat and getting into the more sustainable storylines of civil war in the post-Apocalyptic United States. Years after the outbreak, the majority of walkers aren't going to be around due to decomposition and survivors know how to kill any would-be walkers.

The one thing I love about Tarantino films - his interesting casting. He always plucks once famous actors and actresses back from modern day obscurity. David Carradine, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Lawrence Tierney, John Saxon, Tom Savini, Fred Williamson and Michael Parks. ( I swear he's been in every one of them like Where's Waldo.)

He's not slow. I like it already.

I really like Michael Mann as a director and I think Heat is his best, followed by Collateral. Heat is the cinematic brother to his NBC TV movie L.A. Takedown. For me, while the diner scene between Pacino and DeNiro was excellent acting, I thought the movie delivered on a complex storyline AND the action scenes with attention to detail. I hope it's never "remade."

Heat. One of the nearly perfect bank robbery films in all of cinema and the last great film for both Pacino and DeNiro.

I found this article interesting in answering the question I had - is trading down generally a good idea? http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2013/04/noteworthy_examples_of_trading.html I don't trust a lot about the Bills these days but I do trust their current crop of scouts. I'd stay put at 19 and pick a player.

There are points this off season where I wish the Bills wouldn't talk to the press for weeks at a time. This is one of those times. Less media "availability" benefits everyone.

I'm probably the lone dissenter but I think free agency was the worst idea the NFL ever had. It has created a league of the "ok" teams. The NFL was better when teams could build greatness - keep players and build for the long term. Only the Patriots have been great for years on end. Every other team we think is "great" shows up in the Super Bowl every now and again or in a flash and then heads back to the rest of the ok franchises.

I'm with a lot of posters on this thread - No to Floyd at 19. IMO, he's too lanky and thin. If he's getting eaten up by blocks some of the time in college, that will be all the time in the NFL.

Teams that draft well have outstanding scouting personnel and their GMs are smart enough to listen to them. IMO, that's where the draft is won or lost. I bet that if you find out who was the scout responsible for pushing a guy like Tom Brady to management, he or she probably has quite a few other players that turned out to be a hit rather than miss. I think the Bills have assembled a strong scouting staff - perhaps one of the better ones in the NFL today. It's why I'm confident that whoever they pick at 19 will be successful.

Interesting question in regards to stadiums amidst changing demographics in the US: Boomers and Generations X and Y go to games. Will Millennials and future generations? Or will they just stay home and watch it on television? Is there a new type of venue to build instead of a stadium? Are we assuming fans will attend games at the same clip and with the same desire as previous generations? Chart #4 caught my eye. http://www.sbrnet.com/Blog/July-2015/The-Millennials.aspx

The last thing the NFL needs is ANOTHER team swimming in a deep ocean of debt. The league right now has several teams that have debt that is 50% or greater than their value.

I don't see how he's worth that money. Their window has closed for a deep run into the playoffs in a division that's full of formidable opponents. Not sure you need to pay a coach that much for an aging 8-8 team that needs a full defensive unit rebuild that will take two years. They need a lot on that side of the ball.

Some believe in the Lawyer Milloy Phenomena. Some don't. I personally think that with the army of statisticians and analysts team employ, there is very little valuable corporate espionage a player has these days.

NL Central will be an incredibly exciting division to watch this year. I think the Cubs, Cardinals and Pirates will all be 90+ win teams. Again.

Best Player: Josh Doctson, WR, TCU Bust: All of the sub 6'0 corners that will be taken too high in Round #1 Sleeper: Christian Hackenberg, QB, PSU

From what I've read, he's an excellent tackler. I wouldn't be so sure he'll be the backup come regular season. I think he'll be in the mix for a starting job.

I'd only worry about Bennett and Long if we're having this discussion a couple years ago. Both haven't done a thing in years and Bennett has gotten himself removed from three teams now. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see both cut before the season.

When you were this kiddo's age, would you have wanted to be around your dad all day long forever? That would have been my worst nightmare. My dad worked in a laboratory. Lots of peering into microscopes and clean rooms. No snacks. No talking. And everyone wore ties.

Yes, yes he is. Let the kid be a kid and do kid things. Hanging around dad 24 hours a day on the job is not healthy. What a weird story.

The coaching hires concern me more than the free agency inactivity. I don't think any of the players that have signed elsewhere were irreplaceable.

My bet is no "main" character dies but Alexandria AND Hilltop are massacred while Rick and the Army are out finding Negan's base.
