Pro Football Weekly had Darius Butler the 2nd rated cornerback. Butler was drafted by New England. Jairus and Darius do sound alike though. The devil is in the details. http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/NFLDr...Cornerbacks.htm

Sounds like 7-9 again.

Interesting? How do the Bills know when the other team is going to pass or run? I think Maybin is going to get his butt kicked. A sophomore coming out of college at 245lbs. playing against seasoned OL is a mismatch. The Bills swing and miss again. They needed a full time defender with the premium pick, not just a situational player. There is a reason they missed the playoffs for nine straight years.

Cyanide.

One year wonder who can't stop the run. Undersized. What is this bullsh!t!

NO ORAKPO!

NO ORAKPO! BUST! This is a worst case scenario.

Ignorant and proud of it!

Sanchez looks to determine a lot of changes in the top of the draft. Bills fans should not be happy if Sanchez lands in AFC East.

How many errors can you put in one post? Did you skip school often?

My predictions: (trying to think like the Bills) 1. Orakpo (has bust written all over him) 2. Beatty 3. English

My predictions: (trying to think like the Bills) 1. Orakpo (has bust written all over him) 2. Beatty 3. English My hopes: (Sanchez is still available and the Bills trade down a couple spots) 1. Monroe,Andre Smith or Tyson Jackson 2. Brian Cushing, Petttigrew 3. Barwin, Laurinaitis My fears: 1. Orakpo or Everette Brown or Maybin or Ayers 2. Britton 3. Bills trade up and overpay

Can somebody start a pinned thread where all posters can record their top 3 Bills draft picks? Let's get all the posters on the record for bragging rights.

Tyson Jackson.

I agree with the order DE Tyson Jackson, then LB (USC) , then OT , then TE (Cook). (I would be willing to flip OT to 1st ,2nd or 3rd pick depending upon who's available at the time) However, my philosophy is build the lines first (bulk/power) and take the non-lineman later (after round 3).

Most likely: Highly misleading. Read his articles over the last couple weeks and you can scratch off all the candidates or positions he has written about. Don't forget other teams have the internet.

They will target the guy the Bills should draft: TYSON JACKSON.

The Bills don't value TE's. All they see is another blocker at the end of the line. Besides even if the best TE in the league played for the Bills he wouldn't get the ball with Trent Edwards flat on his back due to the Swiss cheese offensive line. Build the team from both lines first before tinkering with the peripheral positions like TE. OL and LB and DL with the top 3 picks.

Let me guess - are you one of the thousands who post on this board and predict a 10-6 finish every year? Every year the blind are reading to the blind. The Bills are in deep trouble. The Broncos have the guts to fire their long time Super Bowl winning coach and trade their starting QB. The Bills cling to a perpetual losing coach in Dick Jauron. I'm not a Broncos fan at all, but I admire their guts and I'll bet they succeed before Buffalo does. If you finish 7-9 every year doesn't it make sense to try a different strategy instead of sticking with the same loser coach? I could list many,many other mistakes in progress at One Bills Drive, but it would take too long. It is not about being optimistic or pessimistic, but rather realistic. The competition is leaving the Bills in the dust. The Bills have a mangled weak looking OL, an aging DL that can't get to the QB, a directionless business manager posing as a GM and a perennial loser head coach. Does that gives you cause for "blind optimism"? Look at the facts and you may see what everyone else around the country sees - the Bills are destined for a 4th place finish in the division again. P.S. I've been a fan since 1960 and I hope the best for the Bills. Just because I'm not a cheerleader who sticks my head in the sand and ignores the facts doesn't mean I'm not a fan.

It would be a serious reach IMO. Please! Please! Please! Please! re-build the lines first. OL and DL are far more critical than wasting a top pick on a TE. TE can wait to round 3. OL, DL and LB are the priorities.

Prediction #1 The Bills pick at number 11 will be considered a "reach" and will be widely criticized by the national media pundits. Prediction #2 The first prediction will be true nontheless. Bonus prediction: Somehow the Bills will screw it up again. My hope is the Bills select some beef on the OL with #11 and select the best damn LB available at #28. The TE and DE will be selected after round1.

I agree completely. A 5th rounder for Parrish would be a steal for some team. The Bills would be fleeced again! How Not To Build A Team by Russ Brandon coming soon to a bookstore near you!

No way Curry at 11 and Pettigrew at 28. These pre-draft hallucinations are getting ridiculous!!

No chance in hell that Curry falls to #11.

I think you are right. Peters' play was less than expected last year because he was playing next to a $7 million dollar a year stiff (Dockery) First of all, Dockery's weakness affected Peters' play and secondly it really must have pissed Peters off that the Bills were willing to pay this stiff more than twice what Peters was making and yet they wouldn't re-structure his deal. I think everyone in the same position would feel the same. I don't blame Peters at all for wanting to be paid fairly. The Bills just don't have the winning mentality. They want to be competitive at a certain price. Winning teams want to win it all. The Bills want to minimize their costs, maximize their profits and hopefully be competitive. The trade is totally lopsided in Philly's favor. The Eagles through shrewd cap management over the years (this is well documented) have managed to strengthen their team and still keep their best draft pick. Kudos to the Eagles for fleecing the weak minded and poorly run Bills organization. It all goes back to Ralph Wilson.
