You're on the right track, William.
Now, give the man what he asked for and map out a draft strategy. You've already proposed accepting an offer to move down to around 14 and take Joseph. What next?
I see Dibs' point. Those of us who have blasted the Bills' draft have done nothing whatsoever to offer up alternatives that are reasonable.
Oh, and in doing so, rememer the 'domino effect' moving down and taking someone else's pick will have on the entire draft. They'll go to an alternative, which is some other team's first choice, which forces them to go to an alternative, which is some other team's first choice, which forces that team to go....
Don't stop w/ Hansen or the Backstreet Boys.
You forgot Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Miles Davis, BB King, Smokey Robinson, The Supremes, The Jackson 5, Howlin Wolf, Etta James, and Bob Marley.
None of those performers were rock and roll, either.
The tough part is the ASSumption that it's as easy as ordering a pizza to trade down. As I recall, there were a number of teams that had difficulty moving down in this draft, as many teams knew they could stay put and get a good player, since many of those teams weren't targeting just one particular player or position.
Personally, I think that considering how tough it was to move out of that spot, we would've gotten bent over trading down low enough to consider getting Mangold or Joseph.
Yeah, I caught some of that, too. My wife was watching, and she showed me the part where he traded the KISS snow globe to Corbin Bernsen, who collects snow globes. I forget what he got for it, though.
I actually lost a lot of respect for Lewis w/ his asinine comments after their playoff loss alluding to Roethlisberger "crying to the officials". It was uncalled for and showed a sour grapes mentality you don't want to see in a head coach who needs to turn around poor attitudes stemming from years of losing.
There's no way I'd take Justice 8th overall, and there was no offensive lineman that I would take w/ the 8th pick.
Now, if there was some kind of trade down, I'd have looked @ getting either Davin Joseph or Nick Mangold w/ a later first.
If no trade was worked out allowing us to move down and acquire additional picks, then there was no offensive lineman I'd take w/ the 8th pick.
Looks like there will be a couple tailgates going on, then.
We're having our third tailgate @ Sliders before the game. I've contacted Sliders, and we're just about all set. The setup will, more than likely, be the same as the last time, when we had a buffet set up plus drink specials. I'm also working on getting some "extras" this time.
Once the details are all ironed out, I'll post it here.
For reference, this was the setup for the last tailgate we had @ Sliders.
I'd rather see us get a stud receiver like Calvin Johnson or trade down in order to stock up on offensive linemen.
Levi Brown would be a nice choice. Add in extra picks in a trade down, and that's nice.
Of course, this is all WAY too early to speculate. Brown could tear up his ACL, Johnson could get put in prison, and the Bills could actually win enough games so that this isn't an issue.
Just adhere to this rule:
If (name of writer here) writes something showing the Bills in a negative light of any kind, (name of writer here) sucks, is biased, and doesn't know what they're talking about.
As fun as going to Bills games is, the experience of going to a college football game cannot be beat. It's a win-win situation though, as both are a lot of fun.
I've experienced playing college ball and it was a blast. I only wish I could've had the experience of playing pro ball.
Gotta agree w/ you there, Rock.
All they do is misinform on what the Bills are doing and whine and complain about the moves the front office makes.
If only they were more like TBD...
