"Not to give any particulars, there wasn’t that much of a difference." (May 8th, 2014) Doug Whaley when asked what was the biggest difference between Watkins and the next receiver on the board.

Hey Dev, you made me feel like a casual with that REALLY embarrassing lapse in memory of this show.

You get a gold star, sir!

I agree with the Keenan (Tool, A perfect Circle etc) and Boyd (Incubus) choices but the only singer in this thread that can hit 6 octaves is Patton (Tomahawk, Dillinger Escape Plan, Mr Bungle, Faith No More etc).

I don't remember blow on the show even once. Marijuana, Meth (crank) and H. In terms of perscriped drugs that will get you high I remember adderall (season 3) being mentioned and Oxy (juice overdose).

Mike Patton and his 6 octave range.

A dome is not going to cover the entire city. Dome or no dome, in a blizzard people can't get to the games anyways.

You can pick apart the words any way you like but it is still part of the rational he was using when he executed the trade.

You said you were giving up a low first round pick, is that a guarantee of the playoffs? DW: That’s not a guarantee. I’m saying we expect it to be low. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Russ-Brandon-We-made-a-bold-move/3b340387-cd0a-4198-890c-02d08a1a5c2e

When whaley goes on record that part of the rational he made the trade because it would be the move that would propel them to the playoffs. We can judge that. Whaley also stated the Browns pick would be a low 1st round pick. Not surprising, the nearsightedness that Whaley had for this trade didn't work obviously. The Bills currently have the worst offense in the NFL, we won't make the playoffs for the 15th year in a row and the browns 1st round pick could likely be a top 15.

Dynamic playmaker. That’s what this game is all about, making plays. This game is about making plays and surrounding our quarterback with playmakers. He’s automatically going to make our quarterback better and us better as a team. I do want to start this by saying this all goes back to Russ Brandon. He allowed us to make this move and he okayed it and was willing to give up the resources and future picks to go up and get a guy that we think will help us get to where we need to be. Well that didn't quite happen this year Doug and Russ.

Mangini actually did one hell of a job drafting for the Jets that was critical to their last two conference appearances.

Great individual players, sure but it's a team sport and their individual contribution at that position means very little in the grand scheme of things.

How many times have those teams made the playoffs with those WR's, how many superbowl appearances and how many superbowl wins?

In terms of what?

Drafting WR's top 10 doesn't make much sense in today's NFL. It is fools gold. I believe there isn't a single one drafted in the top 10 that currently has won a superbowl. Most teams that draft top 10 WR's don't even make the playoffs. It's an over glorified position that relies heavily on finding the correct QB and finding WR's in the late 1st to mid rounds. The Bills went all in on a WR and currently have the worst offense in the NFL and won't make the playoffs for the 15th year in a row. This trade currently isn't working out which Whaley banked on heavily.

Yup, Kiko hype clouds reality for most.

I'm talking about bottoming out for the #1 overall. With all the seasons of losing they never managed to luck into that chance of an automatic franchise changing player. The Sabres are hoping for that right now.

I've always said one of the worst things to happen to Buffalo in the last 15 years is that they never bottomed out. At least the Sabres have finally realized this.

I'm all for building heavily in other areas, WR is just not a top priority.

I haven't seen a single high profile WR in this thread win a superbowl yet. Majority are scratching at the surface to make the playoffs. You are behind the times.

Unless that guy plays QB, then it can make some sense. Top 10 would be QB, o-line, NT or LB

It certainly was the best day for the o-line yet Kyle Orton had his most inaccurate game by a large margin.

Calvin Johnson, Aj Green, Julio Jones, Dez Bryant, Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Roddy White = 0 superbowls Casuals need to learn that "high impact" WR's are not the answer to championships.

Yes lets look at last years superbowl winner. 2013 QB drafted in round 3 2012 QB dafted in round 1 2011 QB drafted 1st overall 2010 QB drafted 2 round 2009 QB drafted in round 1 2008 QB drafted 1st overall 2007 QB drafted 1st overall 2006 QB drafted round 1 2005 QB drafted round 6 2004 QB drafted round 6 Where has drafting high round, high profile WR's gotten teams in terms of championships?
