Yeah my thoughts exactly. A week with these kids coaching them will tell them a lot more than tape will.

Everyone has an opinion on whether Fitz is good enough, whether Donte is underrated, whether Kyle is pro bowl quality or whether we should trade Lee Evans. I just think its time to rate the Bills to see where are and where we need improvement. There are people who say we are so bad that we should cut the whole roster but that’s rubbish, the fact is we need some impact players to put us over the edge. We have the basis of a good team here now. Anyway I will leave this up to you and perhaps collate the ratings at the end. Here's my take on it for what its worth. 1-2 Not good enough 2-4 Below average 5-6 adequate NFL talent 7-8 Good player 9 Great player 10 Elite player Obviously players such as rookies or with an upside can have two ratings for example Arthur Moats is a perhaps a 7 but could grow to be a 9. This is all subjective obviously but at least it gets you being honest about where we are. Ryan Fitzpatrick - 6 Fred Jackson - 8 CJ Spiller - 6 but could rise to a 9 Corey McIntyre - 7 Lee Evans - 7 David Nelson - 7 but could rise to a 9 Stevie Johnson - 8 Donald Jones - 6 but could rise to a 8 Marcus Easley - only going on reports pre season but he sounds like the real deal, who knows. Roscoe Parrish - in this new offence 7 Naaman Roosevelt - 6 but could be an 8 The O line is not my bag as I am honest enough to say the little intricacies leave me lost but I know you lot sound like you know what you're talking about most of the time Bell - 6 but his star is on the rise, could be an 8 if he can build up his strength Levitre - our best lineman this year who knows how good he can be 7 Wood - 6 but could get to a 9 at centre. terrific upside Geoff Hangartner - 7 The others are very young too and look like they may have a future here in fairness. Howard, Wrotto, Ubrick and Rinehart looked to be decent enough and could improve with playing time. Wang I don’t know yet. However, though pass protection has improved immensely run blocking is woeful. Kyle Williams - 9-10........ enough said Alex Carrington - in the limited time we have seen him 6 but there is talent there, may get to an 8 Kellen Heard NT Spencer Johnson - 6 Marcus Stroud - has sadly dropped to a 6 and is only going to get worse Torell Troup - the same as carrington really 6 but could get to an 8 with time Dwan Edwards - 7 Akin Ayodele - 6 Chris Kelsay - 6 Aaron Maybin - 2 Arthur Moats - 7 but could be a 9 Paul Posluszny - 7 Merriman - if he gets fit he's exceptional. Davis - When hes fit he's a 7 Jairus Byrd - 7 but is getting better all the time, could yet make it to a 9 Reggie Corner - 6 Drayton Florence - 7 Terrence McGee - 7 Leodis McKelvin - 7 Bryan Scott - 6 Donte Whitner - 7 George Wilson - 7 Ashton Youboty - 6 I know there are no TE's mentioned but I don’t think I need to. We haven’t got any! I may have forgotten someone so I am sorry if I have. I will wait for the first numbskull who gives out 1's across the board. Its bound to happen. And be kind. Have just watched the Eddie Guerrero RAW tribute from 2005 and I am very emotional!

Can I just say one thing thats bugging me and constanly happens on here. Geoff Hangartner is 28!!!!! He was only drafted in 2005. He's not old. I am not having a go at anyone. It just seems to be said a LOT and its not true.

Seeing the way certain QB's fell this year (Claussen, Pike, McCoy) I think we'll have a chance getting one of (Newton, Mallet, Locker) in the second. I know people are saying he should go late first round but I think Von Miller is special and will become something special in this league. Personally I think he will move up the order the nearer we get to draft time.

Can I take this opportunity to wish everyone here a very merry christmas and a wonderful new year. God bless.

http://bleacherrepor...position#page/2 Heres a list of the top FA's this year. I love that Donte doesn't make the list

Ok a few things, those who are saying we are playing only a 4-3 now are wrong and so are those who are saying we are playing a 3-4, we mix it up between the both formations. The question is can we afford to keep the kind of personnel on the roster to run both formations permanently? As I said previously its at LB we need help. Someone who everyone is forgetting is Merriman. Who knows if he stays. Who knows if he can stay healthy. However if he does both then we have a hell of a weapon at OLB with Moats learning quickly on the other side. Obviously Nix has his own idea's but I would love to see them draft a stud rushing OLB like Von Miller and then the middle can look after the run. We do have quite the group if you think about it. Troup, Carrington, Moats are all rookies. Edwards has been good this year till his injury. Williams is outstanding. The factor in Stroud, Johnson, Pos and Merriman then we are looking fine. A solid ILB and someone to pressure the QB whether it be a OLB or a DE (Bowers) then I think we're gonna look solid next season.

If I can give a view from Britain we have the prime time games but also we have one selected game for the early Sunday slot (which is 6pm here). In short the Bills havent been on our television for the last two seasons (the game last year against the Pats wasn't on as a TV deal hadn't been signed by that point). However the powers to be have allowed us to watch 9 49er games which has been........... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I will go with the nfl game pass but over here thats a lot more expensive than back there, $23 a week or around $400 for a year but at least I get to see the whole bills games instead of the highlights.

Once again we are jumping at conclusions on the players we have here already. I am as guilty of it as anyone else but draft picks don't usually come in and contribute immediatly and we signed Troup last year. With a full off season to come Troup may well be THAT run stuffing NT we are looking for. I am all for looking to upgrade but if Nix and Gailey think they are set at the position then they will look at other weaknesses first. However there is one other thing, I was reading the Dolphins board after our win and they commented on Kyle Williams. It went something like "And we thought we were lucky with our nose tackles! Kyle Williams is special" (I will go searching for the exact comment if you want). People keep saying that Kyle is too small to play nose but he is doing it well. Really its our linebacking corp that needs upgrading rather than the defensive line. However if they signed either NT from Miami I would be very pleased but don't be surprised if they think they are set at that position.

Seriously if we are picking at 12 and we dont take Von Miller I would be gutted.

DonteWhitner TWHITNER In Pro sports people shouldnt compare salaries. Teams pay based on what u mean to them....Goodnite yall

Heading should read "talks UP bills again". http://www.fanfeedr.com/nfl/2010/12/20/bill-belichick-ne-patriots-head-coach from about 15 mins I think the host calls Fitz, Fitzgerald.

Is there anyway von miller is available in the second? I just think he is going to be a star.

+10000000 Thank goodness here are bills fans who can see past a 'name'.

Dont worry the same was said about Byrd last year. We'll wait and see.

How easy is it to get opening day tickets? As luck would have it thats the day we fly into buffalo for a 3 day stop over on the way home to the UK.

Beat me to it!

Surely they are only reaches if they dont live up to expectation?!?! If you had a poll on here after the draft last year people would have said Byrd was a reach! Its all relative.

so conflicted. Would love to see a player of his ability here but I dont think I can handle routing for him.

I seriously think some people have too much time on their hands. Sorry for reporting this story, I mean........ rumour! No wonder people dont bother posting on here with the forum police on parole.
