ganesh

These players have had it soft with the previous regimes. I hope Pettine is able to light a fire under their belly and make these guys give their 110% on the field.

I think everyone part of the LB were horrible: Barnett, Moats, Sheppard all were caught playing out of position....Hopefully Nigel will be different.

Awesome....EJ Fever in Rochester in dog days of August!

Nah. That is too boring for them and it does not increase there ratings. Who cares what happened 3-years ago. That is eternity in the NFL. That would actually be pretty good for the class, if those 7 QBs manage to survive 5-years in this league.

+1. He is the heart and soul of this offense. I hope Hackett really understands the importance of this kids talent to this team.

Well said. The key is: Can that front-3 stop the damn run. Until we can figure that out, we are long ways from the playoffs.

All said and done, it is going to be a tough first half of the season before this offense can gel...We have so many new starters on Offense: 1. Left Guard - No one appears to have a handle to this job 2. QB - Not sure if it is going to be Kolb or EJ 3. WR - So many new WRs in the system and the system itself is new to SJ too. 4. TE - One TE is probably starting on PUP list and the 2nd one is a known blocker. The only sure thing is the RB where Spiller will be the starter. I simply don't think the Bills will be able to put up a consistent offense with so many changes to that side of the team. They better pick there defense to stop the Run.

There is also a few great lessons from Marrone to Naasib from this draft. That is never expect something to happen only to be disappointed later. Marrone also showed where your loyalty and commitment should be to the young kid. Hopefully, Ryan learns the positives out of this draft and understanding what his HC has to do (Make the best possible decision for his employee, the Buffalo Bills) the right thing. I am really surprised that Smith, Naasib and Barkley have shown some level of immaturity in their way of handling the outcome of this draft. Smith pouted before going to the Jets, Barkley twittered that all the 31 teams that bypassed him will regret and then there is the Naasib being "disappointed" by Marrone's decision. Guys: You are entering the NFL and you should first prove yourself in this league before making 'threats' ! It clearly show the lack of maturity of this QB class. Hopefully, EJ is a different beast.

That was probably a smokescreen call before the draft

Because this front office has in general bungled their drafts in the past decade! I think 31 teams can be more right than just the Bills thought process.

There were five OL drafted in the 1st 10 picks of the draft....followed by more of them in the later part of the round and then in the 2nd round too. That is not a pundit's opinion but teams showing where the strength of this draft was.

I think we always had NFL Caliber players....however our coaching staff was from the JV league.

plus there are 31 other teams picking in the draft too. Even if the Bills were interested in getting some of those Syracuse players, may be other teams picked them ahead of the Bills. Or they see that there are two starting WR positions open on this team and it is a great opportunity for them to earn one of that spot.

Geno may be the starting QB on opening day for the NY Jets. That would definitely put pressure on Geno to perform with very little in the cupboard and a lame duck head coach. Geno will be under the big lights of NY and the expectations will be a lot higher. EJ has a 3-year window to get his talent translated in the NFL. EJ will be playing for one of the low-key media market and the worst attacks will come from Jerry Sullivan.

To be fair to FearTheLosing, all he is saying is that the Bills have the Penchant for doing the opposite of the strength of the draft. Last year in a QB rich draft, they did not draft a QB and this year in a OL rich draft, they have completely ignored the line. When many of the teams draft to the strength of the draft, why would the Bills try to do the opposite. Again these are not my views: I do like the EJ drafting and I am mystified that they ignored the OL in spite of losing a starter.

they lost two linemen (one a starter) and did not replace them with equal or better players. I was just surprised...That is all.

I just hope that OL as it currently is, will be able to provide the time for the QB to throw to all these WRs.

I am excited to see what Pettine can do. However, I don't want to drink this kool aid so fast. Pettine while was the DC did not even call the plays...That was left to Rex Ryan. There is enough talent on this team, but the coaching staff has not been able to bring them together...I am still concerned about that front four that has been so leaky against the run. I hope that is the foremost issue in Pettine's mind. This team will go as far as the run-stopping goes.

I was disappointed too. We had a hole at LG and also need a backup Center and we did not even attempt to fill those positions.

Josh Reed Clone?

Marv Levy's first draft pick was...Marshwan Lynch...A guy with a checkered past!..

Still yet to see a OT or DE on this years draft class!

Finally the run on the QBs....leaving Bray and Scott as the remaining QBs

This *developmental* stuff is way overrated. If EJ plays well this summer in training camp, he simply wins the starting gig. In today's NFL, the team will put a rookie QB in, if he is capable of winning games. EJ comes with a 28-6 collegiate record. I don't really understand the *developmental* aspect. If you like a player and don't want to lose him, you simply pick him at the spot given to you. The Bills risked quite a few times in the last decade and have paid the penalty for that. A resounding +1

That would be a *great day* in the life of Bill!
