DW has said he wants up to 9 DLineman to rotate through... so I think we'd keep Kelsey with Coples.

Miami will take Ryan Tannehill at 8 now.

IMHO, since we went "all in" with Mario, the #10 pick has to be someone who will we think can start right away. Do we think Floyd can?

It's even better for us because Mario is lined up against their RT.

That is a pretty scary 3rd and long front with Mario, Merriman, Dareus and Kyle. If we can take a big lead early, that is going to be huge.

As Per Rotoworld Bills GM Buddy Nix says DE/OLB Mario Williams will play left defensive end, and that the Bills have no interest in using him as an outside linebacker. Is he going to be LDE? If so, then we may still be in the market early for a speed rusher.

What would Mario Williams bring to Bills? http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/39713/what-would-mario-williams-bring-to-bills

What would be the starting lineup? How do Merriman and Kelsay fit in?

We are rolling with Fitz. That money is better spent on Mario Williams.

Financially speaking... does someone know if it is even possible for us to stay under the cap if we: 1) Re-sign Bell and Chandler reasonably 2) Sign top tier DE (Williams, Abraham, Mathis) 3) Sign top tier WR (Bowe, Vincent Jackson) Then we'd be in a really good spot to draft best available at LT, DE, WR and we wouldn't feel compelled to reach.

I know we're busy hating on ourselves, but check this out, maybe you'll feel slightly better: http://www.nfl.com/videos/miami-dolphins/09000d5d827197ce/N-if-L-What-if-Drew-Brees-signed-with-the-Dolphins?module=HP11_cp

We did get a QB coach against a division rival... that says something. Maybe some players will jump on that bandwagon too. We turned some heads earlier this season, maybe other players took notice.

I'd settle for anyone that can catch and hold balls in traffic. Would make a gunslinger like Fitz look a lot better.

Haha saw that too. He owes Vernon Davis dinner.

AJ Green made him look pretty decent I'd say. We need our own elite WR... sorry Stevie.

We need a passrusher in the worst way. Being able to stop the other team = more running the ball = fewer picks for Fitz We need pressure in the worst way... i say "overpay" any eilte player willing to come here.

It's likely going to be LT, DE/OLB or WR unless a very clear elite player fell. Buddy pretty much said so and he's a straight shooter. In prior years we were so bad that we just took "best available". I hope we trade down though in a scenario we can't take one of the three above.

How's our salary cap situation looking? I know we were way below last year, but how's it shaping up post Fitz contract? Can we afford to: 1) Sign our free agents we want back: Stevie, Bell, Chandler, etc. 2) Take care of Fred And then 3) Sign a big name passrusher 4) Sign a big name WR

We need both LT and a pass rush. We should really go after a premium pass rusher in FA. It's interesting how the wheels fell off after Schobel retired. We can't get a good feel of how good this D is without one... it's priority #1.

The theory is: We didn't allow sacks because we made so many quick throws. Then defenses came up to bump us at the line. A good left tackle might buy us more time in the pocket to make the downfield throws.

How many times are we going to say "what if stevie did this" before we get sick of it? I'd take a playoff appearance from us and some extra real picks from team cancers any day. I seem to recall a lot of "at least we're not the Bengals" comments last offseason. Now look. We're right back where we started.... watching the other cellar dwellers climb out while we swim in ineptitude.

With a LOWER pick, they managed to get a franchise quarterback/WR tandem. They dumped TO and Ocho cancers and managed to trade Carson Palmer... And they made the playoffs... in one year. Sigh

I'd pick the Rams... young moldable franchise quarterback, weak division, high draft picks. Better team to put his stamp on.

Unless Blackmon or Jeffrey fall, I don't think WR will happen in round 1. I think that we think our corners are fine, we just need a passrush. We'll probably take another corner late.

Personally, I think there is little doubt that the Bills want to select a passrusher at #10 overall, unless some elite talent falls. Thoughts on the following players? Quinton Coples, DE, N. Carolina Andre Branch, DE, Clemson Melvin Ingram, DE, S. Carolina Courtney Upshaw, OLB, Alabama Whitney Mercilus, OLB, Illinois
