If it's on the internet it must be true ? Was hopeful he could have the same success here as in SD.

Nix left Buffalo with John Butler and A. J. Smith after the 2000 season. He was initially the Director of Pro Player Personnel (2000–2001), but after Butler died, Smith was promoted to General Manager, and Nix to Assistant General Manager. Nix's job with the San Diego Chargers was to oversee both professional and college scouting and to be one of the main decision makers in each NFL Draft. Nix was a major reason the Chargers turned around from a losing football team to a rebuilt, winning team. In 2004, three players Nix drafted were selected to the 2005 Pro Bowl. In 2005, six players Nix drafted were selected to the 2006 Pro Bowl. In 2006, eleven players Nix drafted were selected to the 2007 Pro Bowl. In 2007, eight players Nix drafted were selected to the 2008 Pro Bowl. The Chargers won four out of the last five AFC West titles with Nix as Assistant GM and Director of Player Personnel, in charge of college scouting and instrumental to the decision making process of their NFL drafts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Nix

KC put franchise tag on him for $9.8 million . Can get good OL players in draft this year for much less. He is from Rochester, NY.

With a very good OL and another WR & TE, Geno , Barkley & EJ would be worth a gamble. That's why they should have resigned Levitre last year and extend Byrd, CJ & Wood now.

Wow , if he could catch , we need a big WR or LB at that size is good.

I would gamble on EJ at 8 if still there , I would not trade up this year.

It's only fair to give a new coaching staff 3 years to succeed. Injuries last year on a team without depth sounds reasonable. Less stress on the fans if expectations are low for now.

Chicago offered $2 million for 1 year. He wants 5-6 million

How about a new stadium named after him ?

A small increase in sales tax for the 8 WNY counties to fund a new stadium and how about the casinos pitching in. Seneca Nation Stadium ? Whatever it takes to keep the Bills here, I'am for it.

EJ needs a dominate OL to give him time to check down and throw long. He had the arm but not the time at Florida.

Extend CJ and Byrd also

The " Frankenstein Offense " sounds more intimidating then West Coast. It will take time to learn with a new qb and OG. I would be patient, it's the last rebuild till new owner and stadium.

EJ moved up to #2 qb after Geno on Mayock's list, so 8th pick is ok if he is still there.

They will all try to impress the next owner to keep there jobs. Drafting and UDFA are crictical, they need more help finding good players.

Rumor section on bills forum, senior member posts that Marrone wants EJ Manuel with 8th pick

I hope EJ is still there for our 2nd rd pick. I still like a OT in 1st rd since losing Levitre and Rhinehart.

Staying within the cap for a good team is getting more difficult.

They still need to sign Byrd, Spiller and Wood long term or trade them, or they too could walk when there contracts are up. Mario and Flacco with big contracts leaves less pie for the rest.

Marrone was a OL man so he will make these calls. No one knows Nassib's worth better then him. We have to wait and see.

QB is very hard to predict. Brady helped win the Orange Bowl for U Michigan and was a 6th rd pick. I st picks overall can be busts.

Sign Byrd to a long term contract now or trade him now.

The year before a contract expires, negotiate a new one. If the player wants too much, trade him for a draft pick at least ,don't let him walk. If you don't want to resign a player, then let him play out his contract and walk.

4 years $12 million, $4.6 guaranteed http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9047503/buffalo-bills-sign-free-agent-lb-manny-lawson
