I was watching on ESPN only bc the bar here in Portland was showing that coverage......so if you watched the ESPN coverage it was kind of robotic. But I just found this NFLN video of their coverage......everyone loved the pick.....and Deon Sanders interviewed CJ....enjoy http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-draft/09000d...ls-take-Spiller

you beat me to it....but also, what makes anyone believe that they will not take an OT if the "top 2" were not available? Who's top two? There is no official ranking of draft picks. And if there were, why would they make a statement telling you what they would or would not do in any draft day scenario? Lastly, Clausen at 9 is risky enough, so why would the Bills trade more picks to move up to get him? This is the NFL Draft. Mission accomplished. Get the fan so excited about it and work on his starvation by dangling a cupcake over his head and watch him go.

i don't like his face

Thanks! My point made

WOW....one question popped up in my head after watching that video.......who was his LT??? Sign that dude!

Welcome to the neighborhood. Free Agency - I pretty much agree with everything you wrote. I think being wise with the $ in a thin FA class was the right thing for the new regime to do. I remember Tom Donohoe and his 12:01am phone call to Jeff Posey's agent. Which, at the time, reminded me of the dad in A Christmas Story.....when he was really excited to get the leg lamp....no one else shared his glee.....and rightfully so. Draft: Again, I'm with you on the picks. As for Edwards, i get the feeling he was check-down crazy only b/c he was yanked around in too many directions with the previous coaching staff(s)....he even said it recently that he was getting different direction from coaches. And they fired the OC right before the season? Every player on the Offense was at a huge disadvantage from that alone. Being the QB is the most important position on the field, it only makes sense that it hurt his play the most. Fitzpatrick played a little better, not that much...but at that point he had nothing to lose.....Trent did....his job. But, if they went with Clausen, I could not fault that pick too much. Few people would have criticized Washington if they took him at 4, but now that they got McNabb, all of a sudden a team taking Clausen at 9 is risky? I think it would be a good pick, IF the OT guys they covet are gone by pick 9. Other - Schobel just hates being in Buffalo.....he's a Texan and most of them hate anything having to do with living in the East. I think he will come back for one more year. But he needs to let the organization know this. It's not really fair. BUT, if I were the front office, I am planning as if he is already retired. 1 more year with him or without him will not make a difference to the team 3 years from now, and that's when I believe this team can expect to see any progress in terms of getting to the playoffs. Maybin - all I have to say is we should refer to him as "Maybe". Just don't know enough about him yet. I do believe he needs to be upright and chasing Brady twice a year....

His first pick with the organization....the pick with which he will break the ice with, will not be this or any WR. Couple that with the history that says it's a tougher task for WR's to be impact players out of the gate....(Hardy as the latest for this franchise). Too risky, and the last thing he wants to be known for should it be a bust, is that he let quasi-chronyism lead his decision. Plus he would need to sell this to Nix and the others, namely Old Man Wilson. The pick will either be a safe bet or Clausen. I think it will be a NT or OT. Safe pick. Or they trade down and grab Clausen (if he falls). Granted QB's are not "safe" picks either, but less critisism will come if they chose the second rated QB in the draft class. For me, the O-line troubles, injuries, and the Butler retirement, make this a no brainer for an OT.

Someone actually working while at work and not surfing the internet would be nice too, but hey.... ..........and why? Do you want gifts wrapped in saran wrap? Seriously, I just figured people don't like spoilers.....as desparate as many are around here for all things NFL Draft, even of the Mock variety, I figured a little suspense would be preferred.

well, we need a new transmission over here in the ByTor household, but I'm not going to ask for one on TSW....that's just plain silly

Dave.....big fan here.....sorry, I'm sure you get that all the time.....i know you are busy touring and all, so i'll get to the post topic.... My friend Jason just went on a road trip and Denver was one of his stops. His truck broke down while there and he is waiting for it to get fixed.....so, I thought this post was like a separate forum. So here is my entry... Jason Jenkins, unhappy in Denver

hey....but you rock!

why the eff would any fan of any team buy a jersey with a player's name and number in the age of free agency? anyone crying about this waste of their money has only themselves to blame. come on....seriously. They are overpriced, the player won't be here in 4 years, and no one will ever believe you are that player anyway....I mean, come on, you are in the stands or at the bar watching that same player play....they will catch on to you.....they will notice....you are not fooling anyone put your own damn name on there and pick 00......time and money well spent

i think we can all agree that this is one of the creepiest videos ever... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTY7JW_kMIc

it is important, yes, I agree completely, but a lot of other factors need to make that work. We had McNally who was one of the most respected in the league and we still couldn't block 4 sh*t. The whole scouting department (college and pp), coaching staff, and namely the owner who writes the checks....all these things factor in, otherwise it's wasted talent

i was watching the Bengals game and the Bills game at the bar. I watched Dick completely destroy any bit of confidence our offense might have had left in themselves by his decision to punt on 4th and 1. I watched the Bills lose. I watched Marvin Lewis go for it on 4th down twice in that game.....I watched the Bengals win. I envy Bengals fans......sad, really.

U r a ron Paul fan so this clearly isn't one of ur dumbest ideas

found one that actually works!!!!! audio only click here, don't waste time on those others http://q103albany.com/ListenNow/tabid/966/Default.aspx

I care about our depth, and preseason is all about seeing what deficiencies you have beyond your starters. So i'm hoping for success from the OL and the entire team. All in all, I want Peters' ass in camp. He has a already-renegotiated contract. Come in and earn another Pro Bowl start en route to helping us get to the playoffs, then we can talk new deal.

Didn't Barnes play for the Jets? Maybe he's just bitter b/c now that he's gone, they get a real legit QB who can spread the ball around to everyone including those statless fullbacks

Well he made the list of "A-Holes". I usually equate a-holes with nice people. Anywho, I aint buying the whole thing. He says how no one ever dissed him, so what does he do? Truth or not, if you didn't feel bitter about something, you'd have enough class to save all the barbs.....b/c there wouldn't be any. Yeah, that's what people do when they leave a group that was good to them.....they rag on them and go out of their way to burn bridges that should have been lined with gold. Something phony about this piece

My sentiments exactly. Mike, as usual, THANKS for the fix.
