8. From walter football Buffalo Bills: Mike Glennon, QB, N.C. State This is a reach - I had Mike Glennon in the second round a couple of updates ago - but we've seen second-day talents like Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder go in the top 12. Teams are so desperate for quarterbacks that they'll make moves like this. General manager Buddy Nix, who is generally forthcoming about his offseason plans, told the media that he plans on drafting a franchise quarterback. He even said he'll trade up for one in the 2013 NFL Draft. He may have been talking about Geno Smith if the Chiefs pass on him, but he won't have to move anywhere for Glennon. It's still early, but I believe Glennon and Tyler Wilson are the two favorites for this selection. Nix will talk himself into taking one of them. Glennon is getting the most hype right now, with Mel Kiper even saying that he could be the first quarterback off the board. I liked this pick more when Chan Gailey was still the coach, as Glennon fit perfectly into his offense. Of course, new head coach Doug Marrone may want Ryan Nassib, but it's not uncommon for a college coach to pass on his former players. For instance, we saw this in Seattle when Pete Carroll eschewed picking Taylor Mays in favor of the superior Earl Thomas. http://walterfootball.com/draft2013.php

A team can only be sucessful with a good front office that can draft, trade and resign good players " Before" they become FA's. We were lucky to have Polian, now it's wait and see .

I spent 6 hours liberty in Samoa (refuel destroyer) what a hot tropical paradise it was. (1972)

If the bills do worse on special teams next season, I will be disappointed . The Lions ST coach???

We once were very lucky in the draft Cousineau was drafted first overall in the 1979 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills, who acquired the pick from the San Francisco 49ers in a trade for O.J. Simpson. Cousineau never played a game with the Bills. He instead signed with the Canadian Football League Montreal Alouettes where they offered double the money that the Bills originally offered. Cousineau became a star there, becoming the Grey Cup Most Valuable Player in the 1979 season. Cousineau wanted to return to the NFL, and in 1982 the Houston Oilers attempted to sign him, but the Bills (who still held Cousineau's NFL rights) matched the offer. He was then traded from the Bills to the Cleveland Browns for a first round draft choice (14th overall) in the 1983 NFL Draft.[4] That pick was used on future Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly. Cousineau signed a five-year contract for 2.5 million dollars, the most ever for a Cleveland Brown player at the time.[5] During Cousineau's four seasons with the Browns, he led the team in tackles for three seasons. He was named a 2nd-team All-NFL by the NEA in 1983, and by the AP in 1984, but never made the Pro Bowl in his career. He was considered an overpaid disappointment in Cleveland, while Bills fans fondly remember the fact that the man who once snubbed them for the CFL was traded for Jim Kelly. Cousineau signed with the San Francisco 49ers as a free agent after the 1985 season where he played two years as a reserve before retiring in 1987. Cousineau finished his NFL career with ten interceptions and 6.5 career sacks and currently stays at home with his wife, Lisa, and two daughters, Kyle and Kacey, in Akron, Ohio and renovates houses.

What if Teo needed a excuse for not dating girls on campus? His new teamates might hear , don't drop the soap when playing other teams.

Te'o was my 1 st pick till this . I would trade our 1 st pick to a poor team for a 2 nd round pick this year and there 1 st next year to get a QB in 2014.

Ralph gets the credit or blame for the past. Brandon gets credit or blame for next season and beyond

I would trade Mario for a 1 st and 2 nd round pick in 2014 to get a franchise QB then. Less salary cap without him and Fitz , start over.

Drafting, trades, coaching, you need the right GM to make it happen. Pittsburg was once the gold standard. Russ is just marketing. Polian in his prime made it happen, we have to find his replacement.

Just an example of a non football guy trying to be one.

Although he has thus far survived the wave of firings since the NFL’s regular season ended, Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is reportedly being pressured by owner Jerry Jones. Jones is pushing Garrett to relinquish play-calling duties, according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen (via ProFootballTalk). Garrett, the former Cowboys quarterback and offensive coordinator, is known as an offensive specialist, while the team hired Monte Kiffin as defensive coordinator this week to replace axed coach Rob Ryan. But Garrett came under fire after Dallas missed the playoffs for the third straight year at 8-8, particularly for his clock management. Jones also wants Garrett to fire his brother, John, the team’s tight ends coach who is calling around the league in search of other jobs, according to Mortenson. John Garrett also played at Princeton and participated in Cowboys training camp as a wide receiver in 1988. He came to Dallas as a coach along with his brother in 2007 and also held the title of “passing game coordinator” the last two years. The move could be Jones’ way of forcing Jason Garrett out, writes PFT’s Mike Florio: It also could mean that the Princeton-educated Garretts sense that Jones is trying to provoke a showdown that will result in Jason Garrett leaving as the head coach without Jones flat-out firing him. Indeed, it’s one thing for Jones to roll out of bed one morning and decide to make a coaching change. It’s quite another for Jones to want his head coach to make changes and for his coach to resist, creating an impasse that leads to only one logical conclusion. The Cowboys are 21-19 during Garrett’s tenure as head coach. He replaced the fired Wade Phillips halfway through the 2010 season. http://tracking.si.com/2013/01/12/cowboys-jerry-jones-jason-garrett-play-calling/

Rebrovich also served as the head strength and conditioning coach at both Ferris and Concord.

Kiper's first QB at 21 pick is Glennon for now. "Kiper notes that Glennon was "a victim of tons of drops" and "the tape will help his case." The bowl game wasn't pretty, but Glennon could put on a great showing in Mobile. "I don't see him as an immediate starter in an ideal situation, but he has a high ceiling. A guy who could actually get better between now and the draft," Kiper wrote.

RG 3 was in great condition until he had happy feet. Too big a risk against a mean defense (former N.O.)

Next season will be interesting thats for sure.

Next season's results will give Brandon and Whaley credit or blame, Nix looks like he's here just to give advice on next draft.

This is all Marrone, he takes all the credit or all the blame, far enough.

The high scoring in playoff games means the bills better upgrade there defense.

You can never have too much of a Jets train wreck!

Just sign Levitre and Byrd

I would draft a QB this year 2 nd round or lower, if that dosen't work, trade up a lot 2014.

The Jets are such a train wreck that if we don't finish ahead of them next season, "forget about it" . I also doubt the Cowboys will be better next season.

He's 5'9" , give Brady more credit for his success. We need a megatron, hopefully David Nelson could fill that role with a good QB
