Okay, we all dream. I am dreaming that we have a good draft this year. We get a quality CB,WR,LOT and get some solid backup depth. But the missing piece will be QB. Trying to make my imaginary draft picks I look for developmental QBs in the mid rounds. Maybe next year we get our QB. Then I researched. Other than a lucky fluke like Brady, I found this article about drafting a QB in the later rounds. Quite an eye opener. Wow! So much for wasting a mid round pick on a VERY long gamble. Starting QB's by Position Drafted

Our only hope is Richardson being there. I wish we could, but the prospects are not good. Love another 2nd round pick.

Mine: OT (Reiff, Martin, Adams) 1st Curry DE, or Jeffery WR, or Brown OLB 2nd Mcnutt WR or Best Available CB 3rd Speedy OLB to cover TE’s, or CB or DE 4th A Developmental QB 4th B

Miami, here comes Tannnehill!

I brought him up weeks ago and everyone shot me down.

Miami. Tebow. Please!!

Why not bring back TO. With an incentive based one year contract, how could we loose? He sure fits a need, and is hungry.

Agree. Meachem or Garcon would be less expensive and give us similar results while leaving money for another free agent to fill our many holes. And he is too old for the future when we finally have a real QB and not a stopgap.

Sure hope this draft is way off for the Bill's. The only choice I can even live with is Ingram. I would consider the draft as listed a wasted year again.

My wish list of FA who might be within our budget and fit our needs. All have a few years ahead of them, as they are young. Comments? Pierre Garcon Position: WR Age: 25 ( unfortunately probably will go where Peyton goes) Curtis Lofton Position: MLB Age: 25 Jason Jones Position: DT Age: 25 John Carlson Position: TE Age: 27 Terrell Thomas Position: CB Age: 26 If you could fill a few holes with a couple of these you could draft an OT with our # 10, if we can’t trade down. Hope Curry is there in the 2nd.

ouch, got me too!,lol

As I have been saying for months, trade down. I think their 1st and their 2nd would be more realistic, but I'd sure be fine with that. We really would loose nothing considering the talent available and our needs at # 10.

I agree. He would be a definite upgrade. But there would be a QB controversy. If ever given a real chance to compete, there is a good chance he could beat out Fritz. While he is not the answer at QB for the long run, he could be what Fritz is. A caretaker QB while we develop the QB of the future. Actually I would be more comfortable with him than Fritz. Less mistakes, more consistent. Fritz may have more potential to win a few on his own, but Fritz also is more apt to really stink enough to lose a game on his own as well. Campbell is more apt to consistently let a good team to win with a good effort, but not very apt to personally win one by himself when the rest of the team puts in a sub par effort. I'd rather it be a team win or a team loss, based on the overall teams performance, not just one player's performance. But that is just me, I consider it a whole team sport, and a whole team effort.

Agreed that it was definitely "a do as I say not as I do statement". But the hating on the board for his skills as a player are just hating and the comments of a jilted lover variety. He is a pro bowler and I believe he was the top rated free agent at his position when he left the Bills. The Bills decided he was good, but not worth what he wanted to play for. Other teams felt differently. He is a consensus top tier player by any measure among those that don't have their vision clouded by their past biases.

I know there are knocks on his penalties, but at the right price why not Gaither? bleacher report

I could live with Mathis and Routt. Love to get Curry in the 2nd round. That would be a major upgrade for the defense. Another quality LT and WR in the draft and the team is really moving forward. Minus a QB of course, but not a lot of long term options this year.

We all would dream of having Williams on the team. But if you had a choice for equal money where would you play? Patriots and Williams

It just seems at this point that the talent we need will not be available with our 10th pick. The real talent at our needs appears it will be gone and everyone remaining at our real needs positions will be not worthy of a 10th. Just wish we could find a partner for a trade down and possibly pick up another 2nd round pick . Ingram seems to be serviceable pick and could be a solid contributor,but not the game changer we need, and not worthy of a #10. Rather take a lesser player like an Ingram or Mercilus AND a Curry, rather than waste it on a reach like Upshaw, if we can't get a real game changer.

I really don't get the logic of saying because he was killed in a non football related accident, Brown was a lesser player than another, it is about what actual skills and performance he displayed on the field. Not a tragic accident. That is how you compare players.

Glad I was not the only one that felt that way. I too walked away when it was so obviously lip synced. The musical equivalent of the integrity of an old WWF match at the Superbowl

Maybe I just did not see it, but it seemed that while there were a number of vicious hits in the game, they were overwhelmingly clean and professional, the way a game should be played. And the refs did not get in the way of the game. I thought it was great to see a game without all the dirty plays and the ref’s interference in the game. Regardless of who won, I thought it was a great example of how professional football should be played.

It amazes me that so many downplay Dalton's proven accomplishments on a team that was at about the same level as the Bills last year. This year, as a rookie, Dalton led his team from that level last year to the playoffs. He played in the Pro Bowl his rookie year. Fritz has been in the league 6 years and how many times as he led a team to the playoffs? How many times has he been to and played well in a Pro Bowl? Yes, Dalton will probably never be a Peyton or a Brady. But he has the potential to take a team to the Superbowl. Fritz has had 6 years and has shown exactly what his potential is. Fritz is an older fading player with a weak arm and poor accuracy downfield. Dalton is young and can improve his strength and skills. How can you possibly compare the two. I think that if you went around the league and asked the teams that need a QB to choose one of the two as their QB, almost everyone would choose Dalton. I can't believe anyone would want to stand pat with a competent backup class QB, over a rising star with a proven record and the potential upside of a QB like Dalton. Granted we might not choose a Dalton in the draft, but if we don't start taking chances, we never will draft a QB. When do you ever see us having a chance of drafting a QB with the potential of an RG3 or a Luck? I don't see that in our near future, so we need to start taking our chances now on a higher level QB that at least will give us a shot at the Super Bowl in the near future.

And exactly how does this comment relate to this discussion?

After playing the team and watching the Pro Bowl, how about the Cincinnati Draft. And Dalton was there, and filled a need in our 2nd round. I would take their 1st and 2nd round choices any time.(Not that I too would have taken Dareus at the time.) Hope we won't look back at the 2012 draft and still need a quarterback. Fritz is an acceptable backup QB, but we really need to find our "Dalton" this year. A QB in the 2nd round this year. A great year to trade down in the first if we get a chance, and can pick up another 2nd rounder. A lot of lower 1st rounders will be there that would fill our needs.

Great line, you definitely made me laugh. A tough thing to do when your a Bill's fan!
