ganesh

The Bills always try to go against the Norm and then burn themselves. Teams have stopped drafting RBs in the Top 15 unless it is a Peterson and yet we have spent three first round and a 2nd round pick in a decade on RBs. They jumped up to pick McCargo, TJ, Losman etc when no one was rushing to get them, especially all those lost draft picks. If the Bills stick to their board and build from the trenches and get a QB, they have a chance.

Murray is not going to start right away. However, if EJ falters, he could be a good insurance policy. He has that "Leadership" skill to rally everyone around him. For some reason, the EJ story is turning out to be like the Losman saga....Extremely good guys, can throw the ball downfield, but have no presence in the pocket.

Completely agree and BTW I have not yet given up on EJ. His health issues are a big concern though. Murray is like a Drew Brees.

Murray could be that guy.

ESPN has the Murray @ Gruden QB Camp. Great player. I hope the Bills take a flyer on him....Just threw a 50+ yard pass from his end zone for a TD....That was his 100th TD to boot. The guy talks about Computer Science Algorithms etc. Might be the Steal of this draft. He is a NATURAL LEADER!

Until we get a franchise QB all these flaws will keep showing up.

If none of the QBs are picked, will the Bills give it a chance with Maziel?

Any day he is better than Thad and Tuel. Bring him on.

Why not. You can never have enough QB on the roster. I hope the Bills get Murray in the 3rd.

Instead of McCarron, may be take a flyer on Murray. I think he has a bigger upside than McCarron.

The stupid part of the pick was that we already had Travis Henry who was outstanding (reckless off the field) and we had many needs.

I agree...It was definitely overwhelming for the OC, especially without a QB coach.

Don't forget about Murray. He was a consensus top-5 pick until his injury. My question is: Why are people so down on Murray. Teams have drafted injured players like McGahee in the 1st round and let them heal. Why wouldn't teams do the same with Murray especially in this rookie-cap-friendly era. If I were the Bills, I will definitely take a flyer on him at the top of the draft.

Lot of times the teams may not want to show their hand by staying away from a player. I thought the Bills never brought EJ to OBD.

My only concern is the amount of money they have offered for someone to play as the 4th CB on this team (Robey is already our 3rd CB).

The biggest problem with our Running Game is Red Zone offense. The RBs have simply not been able to punch it in. CJ had 2 Rushing TDs and Jackson had 9. Spiller and Jackson combined for ONE receiving TD during the entire season. Craig Urbiks game fell off the cliff after 2012 and was responsible for some of the pass protection issues on the right side.

The fact that Jacksonville, Oakland have not signed in starting QBs, it is a good chance that there will be a run on the QBs (at least three of them in Bortles, Manziel and Bridgewater) in the Top 8 before the Bills make their pick. With Clowney and Watkins likely to go along with the QBs, the Bills should have their choice of OT to pick. I think in a WR rich draft, the Bills should upgrade the line and then pick a WR in Rd 2 or 3 along with a backup QB in Aaron Murray

I hope the Bills draft BPA rather than reach for players at position of need. The Bills should draft for any position other than RB and starting QB.

The rational is that players with a TE physical requirement are off to NBA where they get guaranteed contracts and less chance for life threatening injury.

I thought he was already making 3M per year.

You can't sign all of them...We did re-sign Stevie, McKelvin, Wood, Aaron Williams, Kyle Williams. I am sure the Bills will be able to re-sign Dareus, Cordy, Spiller, Gilmore in the upcoming 2-3 years.

Give credit to Peyton. He built that team and gave a lifeline to Brees. Brees was pretty average in his 4 seasons with San Diego.

And that is why it doesn't make sense to be bitching about Whaley's inaction 90minutes into FA. Many of the guys you mention above are Day 1 FA signings (or at least contacts) and did not work out. The same goes for the FA in the league this year. Some above average talent are being paid big money to turn franchise's around. That is not going to happen. Look at Cleveland...They gave 7M a year average to Whitner who had difficulty getting 4M from the 49ers three seasons ago. I for once am glad that Whaley has brought his PITTSBURGH Principles to Buffalo to stand Pat and do NOTHING on Day 1 of the frenzy. The difference I hope to see with Whaley is to make sure we do plug the holes left by Byrd, Levitre and Chandler unlike last year. If the Bills can sign some mid-level FA including Spikes, it would be a good off season for them.

Look for him to make his way to Cleveland.

+1, especially when the coaching staff has clearly told everyone that EJ will be the starter going into training camp.
