In that case, I guess Nolan Nawrocki is the best, most knowledgeable analyst out there. Today.
Mel is becoming just another source of information in the long line of analysts that have appeared in the last few years. He has the distinction of being one of the longest running draft analysts and was interviewed by Tim Graham.The evaluators are ESPN's Mel Kiper, Clifton Brown from The Sporting News, John Czarnecki of FoxSports.com, AOL Fanhouse's Chris Burke, Pro Football Weekly's Nolan Nawrocki and CBSSports.com duo Pete Prisco and Rob Rang.
Buffalo Bills (composite grade
Kiper's grade: C+
Brown's grade: C-
Burke's grade: B-
Czarnecki's grade: C
Nawrocki's grade: B+
Prisco's grade: C
Rang's grade: C+

Another DI "Edwards is a Kitty" thread? Jesus, that's the third this week and it's only Monday!
Good thing he's "buds" with the mods, otherwise he would've been banned by now for crusading, as clearly outlined in the TOS.
-
he will NOT be the starter because he sucks and because there is no way in hell the fanbase buys tickets with Edwards as the starter.
The games will be sold out with Trent under center opening day.

Campbell did drop to them and they passed 3 times. Why do you think the 4th time would have been any different? Not that they didn't have a chance to trade up in the 4th when they saw that he was still there. He's the classic "looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane, has the desire of Cheetah" type of player. Hence the reason only the Raiders took a chance on him, in the 4th round.
Perfection has no place when talking about a draft.
C'mon man. That's like saying Levi Brown dropped to them and they passed 7 times.
We'll never truly know how Nix and the scouts and coaches felt about Campbell. I believe the Raiders crushed them when they selected him right before our pick. Then again, maybe they had Wang targeted in the 5th all along. In that case, I do question waiting until the 5th round to address OL on this team.

If the Bills really wanted Campbell and thought he was a top LT prospect, they could have taken him with any of their first 3 picks. Same for Skelton, who they could have taken with any of their first 5 picks. Furthermore they said they liked Brown over any of the other QB's except for Bradford, and there was a thread about their interest in him predating the draft.
Or, they could have made the mistake of waiting for Campbell to drop to them. Ooops.
Then, they wouldn't have had to go after the #22 ranked Tackle in the 5th, and could've selected Skelton. And if not Skelton, even Easley in the 5th.
Look, I understand fans want to see no wrong in their drafts, but they shat the bed in 4th and 5th rounds. That doesn't make it a bad draft, but the perfectionist in me wanted to see it be better.
-
His grade sounds about right to me. I like the first three picks, but Troup and Carrington were a bit of a reach. Still, I have no problems with the draft to that point.
The 4th round is where this draft became unhinged in my opinion. I think the Raiders broke their hearts when they stole Bruce Campbell out from under us. How do they respond? By quickly grabbing a WR that probably would've been there in the 7th.
Regardless of what Nix has said, they needed to come out of this draft with an elite LT prospect. Campbell was the only one who fit that bill come the 4th round. He was the #7 rated Tackle by Nawrocki, Wang was #22. I would've liked to seen more aggressiveness by Nix to make sure he got him. Moving up a few slots in the 4th does not cost much at all.
So instead of going LT in the 5th with Wang, they could've grabbed Skelton in the 5th. Which would you rather have: Campbell/Skelton, or Wang/Levi Brown? Be honest.
They recovered in the 6th, and finished stong in the 7th. Just replace Brown with Easley. We could've theoretically ended up with Spiller/Troup/Carrington/Campbell/Skelton/Moats/Batten/Easley/Calloway. That's an A plus.
So they failed in the middle rounds, had a stong start and finish. C plus sounds about right.

Trent Edwards is your starting Bills QB. The coaching staff clearly expressed confidence in him by not drafting his replacement.
-
I think you're misinterpreting.
How you come away with that conclusion based on this article is classic...You weren't a strong reader in school were you?You didn't jump the gun on that conclusion at all
This has to be the most retarded interpretation ever on these boards. WOW. Is that dumb.
Edwards will be your starting QB next year. Sorry you didn't get your wish.

Already paid for, so yes, I'm good to go
Haven't missed a game in over 2 decades, and am not about to start now. -
9.5 inch hands. Anyone who thought Clausen would be a bust due to hand size is forbidden from lauding this pick.
Not sure what your point is. Clausen has 9" hands. 9.5" is the same as Bradford, bigger than McCoy and Skelton.
-
Torrell flippin Troupe? Are you serious? Ahead of Cody, Thomas, and Joseph? Wow.How do you justify not taking Cody?What a sh*tty pick with Charles Brown, Cam Thomas and even Cody still there. No excuses. This is a 3rd round pick.REACH. Better value could have been had in Clausen or Brown. Troup, Cody, or Cam Thomas would have been there at the Bills 3rd round.
Quoted for dexterity. I am so glad this group of deep thinkers do not work for the Bills. Perhaps try to know a little of what you're talking about before you just start immediately bashing. Dumbasses.

OT's still Available:
Bruce Campbell
Charles Brown
Rodger Saffold
Vladimir Ducasse
I'm hopeful we get one in the 2nd today, and that we're not content with Bell.
I'd like to see either Saffold or Campbell.
The real question would be whether if any of them were drafted could they and should they start for the Bills next year. Surely one of them is better than Bell...right?
Well if you believe Nolan Nawrocki (and you should), Saffold is ready to come out and start at LT as a rookie.

Biggest "douche" move: coming back on an internet message board bragging "Told You So!"
-
Yes. They said they like Bell at LT, and assuming he comes back from his injury he should be the starter at LT. They said they feel different about their players than some others do, and singled out Bell as an example of one they are really high on. Don't be shocked if they don't address tackle until Saturday, which means Bell is starting opening day.
-
ML has 1 year left, give Spiller time to develop and then let him take over next year?
I thought he has 3 years left.
-
you're an idiot
+3

Great pick. They had their choice of LT, QB, DT, OLB, and they took the best player available. That's the way you get better. Expect Lynch to be moved, and we'll fill needs where the talent meets draft position. Don't worry, about 9 more picks (after trade) to be added. Nix will find PLAYERS
-
Who says he isn't happy? Because he didn't come to "voluntary" work outs. I love how one person says something, the story gets passed around a couple thousand times and the next thing you know everyone is making assumptions about what these guys are thinking. I can see how people are by nature speculative, but you don't have a clue what ML is thinking or what his team mates think.
Who said anything about voluntary workouts? Maybe the reports saying he wouldn't mind getting moved out of Buffalo give a little insight on his happiness meter.
-
15 minutes per pick in the 1st round I thought? That means 9:30 - 9:45.
EDIT: Just saw the other thread - 10 minutes it is, so 8:50 - 9:00.
-
I think you're reading a little too much into it. They don't HAVE to do anything with a player who has 3 years remaining on his rookie contract. And while he may not be the happiest camper, he will still show up and play if he wants to get paid.

If only the Bills had a coach the equivalent of Lindy Ruff.

"He was later found to have a blood alcohol content of 0.15, just over the legal limit"
Since when is blowing a .15 barely over the legal limit?! Try telling that to the officer or judge as they lock you up
-
They more than likely won't be going LT, so anything is possible. QB, Spiller, Williams, Morgan, etc.

You know, Schefter really seems to be going out of his way to insult Bills fans (recall the comments during the Cowher chase). He is challenging Mort for #1 douche over at ESPN.
