Great news. Congrats to Freddie. Im happy. Another phenomenal move by Buddy and Co. Offseason Recap So Far: Resigned Stevie Johnson Scott Chandler Kirk Morrison Signed: Mario Williams Mark Anderson Great draft Extended Freddie A+ Offseason

My Top 5 on the current team are: 1. C.J. Spiller 2. David Nelson 3. Jairus Byrd 4. Aaron Williams 5. Steve Johnson

Alot of people are forgetting Jairus Byrd. I think he is a lock and possibly Fred, Stevie (although he has a bad rep within the league), and maybe Dareus. Wood didn't play enough last year. I'd say in most cases probably 2 of those guys, Byrd for sure.

1. (10)- Luke Kuechly- LB- Boston College 2. (41)- Bobby Massie- OT- Ole Miss/ Zebrie Sanders- OT- FSU 3. (71)- Trumaine Johnson- CB- Montana 4. (105)- Tommy Streeter- WR- Miami 4. (124)- Matt McCants- OT- UAB 5. (144)- Greg Childs- WR- Arkansas 5. (147)- Russell Wilson- QB- Wisconsin 6. (178)- Chase Minnifield- CB- Virginia 7. (217)- James Hanna- TE- Oklahoma This would be a great draft in my perspective.

Mock Draft: Round 1- Trade back to either 16/18 and get another pick for next year- OT-Cordy Glenn- Georgia Round 2 (41) OLB- LaVonte David- Nebraska Round 3 (71) WR- Marvin McNutt- Iowa Round 4 (105) CB/S- Trumaine Johnson- Montana Round 4 (124) OG- Nate Potter- Boise State Round 5 (144) TE- Michael Egnew- Missouri Round 5 (147) LB- Tank Carder- TCU Projected Depth Chart (assuming all draft picks make team) OFFENSE (25) QB: Ryan Fitzpatrick (Starter) Tyler Thigpen (Backup) Brad Smith (Wildcat/WR option as well) RB: Fred Jackson (SPLIT) CJ Spiller (SPLIT) Tashard Choice (Backup) FB: Corey McIntyre (Starter) TE: Scott Chandler (Starter) Michael Egnew (Possible Future starter) WR: Steve Johnson (Starter) Marvin McNutt (Starter) David Nelson (Slot WR) Marcus Easley (WHO KNOWS, HOPING FOR BEST) Derek Hagan (Solid backup) Donald Jones (Backup) Ruvell Martin (Special teamer) OT: Cordy Glenn (Starter) Erik Pears (Starter) Chris Hairston (Backup) OG: Andy Levitre (Starter) Kraig Urbik (Starter) Nate Potter (Future project) Chad Rinehart (Backup) C: Eric Wood (Starter) Colin Brown (Backup) DEFENSE (25) DE: Mario Williams (Starter) Chris Kelsay (1st down against run) Mark Anderson (2nd and 3rd down against pass) Shawne Merriman (Special package) Spencer Johnson (Backup) DT: Kyle Williams (Starter) Marcell Dareus (Starter) Torrell Troup (Backup) Alex Carrington (Backup) OLB: Nick Barnett (Starter) LaVonte David (Starter) Kirk Morrison (Backup) Tank Carder (Backup) ILB: Kelvin Sheppard (Starter) Arthur Moats (Backup) CB: Aaron Williams (Starter) Terrence McGee (Starter, but likely injured) Trumaine Johnson (Future starter) Leodis McKelvin (Nickel/Punt Return) Drayon Florence (Backup corner) Justin Rogers (Backup Nickel/Kick Return) SS: George Wilson (Starter) Da'Norris Searcy (Backup) FS: Jairus Byrd (Starter) Bryan Scott (Backup) SPECIAL TEAMS (3) K: Rian Lindell P: Brian Moorman LS: Garrison Sanborn KEY CUTS: RB-Johnny White TE-Mike Caussin WR- Naaman Roosevelt OT- Sam Young DE-Danny Batten DT- Kellen Heard DT- Dwan Edwards TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK LB- Chris White

Good show. Like Streeter, Wilson, Still not set on OT in the 1st but we'll see how it plays out.

^^^ Agreed to the max. Sign the kid. Do something right. He is the most proven and consistent free agent receiver that the BILLS will be able to sign. Don't let him go.

Cut him. He is the most inconsistent player there is. He constantly gets beat and occasionally will make a play. He is getting old and I understand that he provides "veteran leadership or experience" but I'd rather have a young guy like Williams or Rogers in there gaining quality experience. Plus, you got to give McKelvin ONE more year. Cut Florence.

QB: Fitzy A developmental QB taken in 5/6 round RB: Fred AND CJ (get them both involved) WR: Bowe Stevie Marcus Easley David Nelson 3rd round pick Tommy Streeter OL: LT Bell/Hairston/Draft pick RG: Levitre C: Wood LG: Urbik RT: Pears Defense 4-3 DE: 1st round pick: Coples/Upshaw/Melvin Ingram DT: Dareus DT: Kyle Williams DE: Alex Carrington LB: OLB: 2nd round pick Ronnell Lewis/Lavonte David ILB: Kelvin Sheppard OLB: Barnett/Merimann (who knows what he will bring) Secondary CB: Terrence McGee/Florence CB: Aaron Williams Nickel: Leodis McKelvin S: George Wilson S: Jairus Byrd K: Rian Lindell P: Moorman (last year), draft one in a late round KR: Justin Rogers PR: McKelvin

Obviously, a pass rusher would be the top priority. My options would be Coples, if there, but most likely Upshaw, but dont sleep on Jerel Worthy from MSU. If the Bills drafted a OT, I would be really dissapointed. An ideal second rounder would be a OLB such as Ronell Lewis or maybe Lavonte David. I like a mock draft I saw on Walter Football that had the Bills taking WR Tommy Streeter from the U in the 3rd round. In later rounds, I would draft some O linemen and maybe 1 corner.

I like what Buddy is doing and his direction of the team and all. It seems like he is saying the right things but we will have to wait and see if he pulls the right strings. If he resigns Stevie, brings in Bowe or Jackson, maybe even a guy like Meachem, and has a strong draft 2012 class, I can see the Bills making the playoffs as a distinct possibility this year. I mean look at their schedule. Besides New England, the Jets, Houston, and San Fran (who knows what Indy will be) every single team is mediocre or below average. The way I look at it, I see the Bills losing 1 of the no-brainer games and pulling one out against the above teams to go 10-6 (w/ a good free agency and draft). But its way early to be predicting records. Buddy is optimistic about Stevie and I hope and think he will sign him.

I like Bowe more than Jackson because he fits the system better; runs underneath routes and is an overall better WR. VJax is an athletic monster and deep threat and would be easier to reel in I guess, with Nix's ties to SD. Honestly, I would be content with either (who wouldn't). But seriously. They have to resign Stevie. No questions asked.
