I currently rock the Stevie (Reebok, away). Have a Whitner & TKO in the closet.

Whoops, missed that when I was typing it up. Sorry.

Just a quick look at how the trade with the Rams was set up from PK and ESPN... http://espn.go.com/b...rams-draft-room Interesting to see the Ram's upped the offer to make it happen. I wonder what the Bill's would have done had the Rams chosen not to do so?

Looks like this was done before the 2013 draft, They went based on the projected selections from their mock.

That's not what I think of when Reggie Wayne comes up lol.

I hope you guys are on the money!

Couldn't agree more. My friends and I touched on this during one of the shots of him hanging his head. I told them I hope he's texting someone cause if he's just moping he's in trouble. He needed to look up and show the camera a cocky smile, one of those "I'll pay all the teams that passed me over back" looks. Having said that I can only imagine how hard it would be to be in his situation, getting your confidence hit with each selection over and over again. But then again, no one said being a NFL QB was an easy job either.

I would love the W/ Dansby scenario but if signed Dansby and got Ertz at 41 I wouldn't hate adding Minter at 46 and then grabbing one of the WR's listed above in the 3rd. We could improve the LB depth nicely (which I feel we need) and create some good competition at what was a weakness before the draft while we bolster special teams as well.

I can't say I agree with it being the most hated, maybe not the most popular but I would think the Maybin pick had a stronger negative reaction and was far more universal as well.

What makes you so certain that if Manuel was still available late 1st, Philly wouldn't have moved up to assure that they got him before the Bills? It would have been rather costly for them to move back to mid 1st from the 36th pick, bottom 1st from 36 not so much.

Consider me very happy if this works out.

Hopefully they screw the pooch and use the picks this year where and gamble on high potential players that don't pay off

Another angle to this that I worry a bit about (more of a long term thing), is does this give the jets ammo to make a move for a trade down this year and then move up in the 2014 draft to secure a franchise guy for the new Coach presuming the Jets dump Rex which a lot of us see as highly possible.

Couldn't Wanny have purged those players as well? If he believed he could win with the players that constituted our defense last year would that fall on him or is that only on the shoulders of the people above him? I always assumed that he had a say in the personal we fielded on D last year (as in pursuing FA's and cutting players, Mario for example). Having asked that question, I think it was a bit of both. Also, if players saw that others weren't playing to their ability due to lack of effort couldn't he see that too? I don't recall any players getting benched for those type of things but I may just not be recalling it or it may have not been that obvious at the time. And, if Pettine does succeed this year could a case be made that the talent was misused more than anything else? Assuming no major additions are keys to success this year.

Haven't see this touched on yet. So I'm curious, how do you usually spend the draft? Me? I'm headed back to Buffalo for the first round to hit up a Wild Wings with a bunch of my fellow Bills fans. Draft night is always fun (cept for the year we took Maybin .) It's a night where we all drink the kool-aid till we can't see straight . Well, the beer helps with that one a bit . I usually watch the 2nd- 3rd round on TV and keep a more casual eye on things for the rest. All while watching the draft threads on TBD of course!

2/10

Born and raised as a Buffalo sports fan. Let others walk the easy road, I like doing things the hard way.

Nice work on the graphic! I would put Dareus as minimal right now. I think with better coaching from Pettine and just a locker room that calls for more accountability (hoping) that we'll see a better year from him. I think between Sheppard and Bradham at least one will surprise us pleasantly and average them out to high. This of course is based on the 4-3 look. Regarding Dareus, I would still be confident of his play in the 3-4. Not sure what to make of Shep and Bradham in the 3-4 yet. If he gets moved I'd like to see what comes from A.Williams at safety as well so between him and Searcy & Scott (if he's back there?) I think our need there is probably moderate to minimal. Gotta let the young guys get some reps
