This is why the Bills still draft defense this year. If you accept the possibility of removing Dareus (suspension, bad mood) and KW (bad wheels, age), the Bills would be in trouble. I think they're in trouble even with these two. It's just more fuel to the Aaron Donald fire if he gets to 9 or another DL in the 1st 3 rounds.

I agree. And we have no choice, really. What concerns me about EJ is accuracy. I'm just not sure that is a learned skill. I have to ignore the EJ to Peyton comparison.

I can't remember the last guy who grew into being a franchise QB. Great players show up great and EJ is not that. I think his top end is an Alex Smith type where he manages the game and tries not to lose. He makes everyone nervous. But I voted 'other' because I think the Bills defense is a mirage. New scheme. Inconsistent and overrated "stars". Big loss at FS. I just don't see a drastic improvement in this defense, this year, as constituted.

4 games for being dumb as a post. I think the "strength" the Bills have on the D-line is greatly exaggerated. Partly because KW is old and broken….and partly because this guy is UNRELIABLE! Aaron Donald would be good insurance and almost without risk if he were there at 9. But, my guess is he will not be.

I dunno who Massare is but I do like scenario 1 a great deal. And re: Sources…..NOBODY has sources this time of year. Even the most well connected NFL reporters are guessing. The true draft information is too important to be mentioned by someone important enough to know it to someone not important enough to hear it. That's what my sources are telling me anyways.

Welp, we wanted a physical receiver….

I like it.

That is inspired!! Well played

Then there's that…...

Seriously dude? You read away more than I wrote. Aaron Donald is too short to be a 3-4 DE, not fast enough (or small enough) to be a 4-3 end and is absolutely ideal as a 4-3 DT playing a 3 technique. I defy you to find 1 article discussing his possibilities as a DE. If you can, I'll be happy to eat crow. But I'd take him as a linebacker or kicker on the Bills. I love the guy. I think Barr is better than you think. As good as KW is, he is one of the common threads on some awful defenses. I think Donald will be better.

Obsurd... more crazyness... Ok. my predictions: 1. Aaron Donald goes in the top 8. 2. Scott Crichton goes in the 1st round, and 3. The Bills will take a QB in the 3rd or 4th round.

LDT…..works for me….

BOOM!!!! I read the opening paragraph and I'm thinking…….wrong….wrong….wrong….wrong. I think it's always possible a player like Barr is overvalued as everyone is fast in the NFL, but if he's a risk, so is K. Mack. I tried NOT to like Evans, but jeez, just watch him play. I'm putting the troll watch out there. Great comparisons.

I think Whaley will be smart about it. He's going to say he's very interested in pick X, then offer compensation that will not cripple to growth of this team. I think giving away a 2nd or next year's 1st cripples the growth of the team and will not be seriously considered. Now….two 3rds or a 3rd and a player??? Not likely, but hell yes if they go for it.

Hype dies hard. Very well put.

Right. I've been amazed at the thought of trading up as the Bills have many holes. But you know what…maybe it's time to do something different. What if DW could trade up for 2 third rounders? I'm not saying it's likely and there's no reason to debate it. But there IS a point where he's be stupid NOT to trade up.

We used to own 4 in the club and 4 on sidelines. Even when the Bills were decent, it's really hard to sell the club seats at anything else than a 30-50%loss. The sidelines sell like crazy. But $262 was a bit more than the market was willing to bear. What's more, there IS availability EVERY game in the club. My advice is just buy them this year for the few games you go to. BTW - I didn't really like sitting there. It felt too far from the field and was very insulated from the energy of the rest of the stadium, but the bathrooms were nice and you can have a pizza delivered to your seat!

He's a DT, not an end. The surest thing in this draft.

Everyone with all these "sources". Whatever. Even if you did speak to someone in the know, the only thing they would tell you at this point is what they want to get out. I seriously doubt April 30 information is real. That being said, I hate the idea of giving up a 2nd in this year's draft for ANYTHING because this team is about 5 to 7 players away from being relevant.

It just occurred to me that expanding the "lying season" on the NFL has done nothing other than bring more useless and unfounded speculation to the fore and almost makes anything GMs say during the lying season a mockery of the press and fans in general. Is it really worth trotting your GMs out there to scheme and lie for a month just so you can call May and "NFL month"?

Big contract makes him untradeable. Period. End of discussion. Ah, what the heck, throw some back surgeries on top for good measure….

This GM should know he needs more than one good player too! +1

It's like a monkey throwing a dart at a rotating dart board and predict he's going to hit double 19.

Might be sick as a fullback or as a flex TE, but I don't think he's looking for that gig.

I would not be disappointed at all if he wound up as our pick and agree that he is a trade up target. But how does Lovie pass on him at 7?
