The Buffalo Bills have since confirmed this.

Brent Grimes signs in Buffalo

8th in the 1st, 41st in the 2nd and 71st in the 3rd. Are you saying that's your top 3 overall or what you want for the first 3 rounds? Because Jones is a 3rd rounder, not a 1st. And Rogers is a 2nd rounder, not a first.

Wilson was going to be a first rounder, possibly/probably top 10 last year, but wanted to go back and win. Then the Petrino disaster came along and picked that team apart. They lost some of their better players to that situation, and Wilson had to deal with what was left. He still played solid through all that trouble...

Wilson didn't "pop up" recently. Nobody is claiming they are all good. This is just the list of realistic targets near the top of the draft... And RG3 just POPPED UP (for most people), he turned out to be pretty good.

His entire offense was a mess. His offensive line might be one of the worst in the country. When he isn't getting swarmed, he flashes a strong and accurate arm. The only real knock I've seen is that he'll force a deep throw, but that's coachable. (But the projections I put are based on the general professional opinion).

Also, they're in order by the closest upcoming game.

Scott Pioli isn't a guy that drafts QBs high, especially if he has to reach. I think he'll draft a QB in round 2, get his franchise LT first overall.

This is how I see it right now, still early obviously: 1. KC - Joeckel 2. JAX - Lotulelei 3. OAK - Geno 4. PHI - Milliner 5. DET - Te'o 6. CLE - Werner 7. ARI - Barkley or Glennon That would leave Tyler Wilson, Damontre Moore, Barkley/Glennon for us to pick from.

This is all so intriguing, but if nothing happens all hell will break loose. Everybody is expecting something huge, and for almost nothing. Everybody claims to have these sources, and they're almost always wrong.

I don't believe all this ownership hype... Maybe might believe that Ralph is going to give up controlling interests to his family but not sure.

Lance is a nickname some people call him.

Glennon has a much better arm than Nassib. Nassib has to sit an entire year and just get coached up. He has NO IDEA how to control his arm speed. Has zero touch on his throws.

I think that if we don't get one of Smith, Wilson, Barkley or Glennon then we will be getting a project. Jones is next on my list of guys that could start relatively soon.

Did you really just mention a guy that didn't even play college football this season because of arrest? Give me a break...

Nobody is trading for Fitz... He's a $10 million BACKUP... And Smith isn't the guy we need. We need a playmaker, he can't do that. He's a game-manager that needs an elite defense. The opposite of what we have.

I've watched a lot of Landry Jones. I think he could be a steal in the 3rd round, but one game isn't going to sway my opinion of a player. It might make him a late 2nd rounder or maybe drop him to the middle of the 3rd, but it's not going to make him a 1st rounder.

Landry Jones is a 3rd rounder. So was Russell Wilson, but they're different players. And no need to release Thigpen, he's a FA already.

Appropriate

I really like Tyler Wilson... He's the guy I really want.

I've always been on the idea that we should let Buddy have this offseason then hand it over to Whaley at the end of the offseason. But I won't hate whichever way it goes.

losing either would be a complete mess ohhh the naivety. this can't be serious

Chan was never good

If I was Ralph I would sell the team right now and use all the money on babes and blow until I died. Screw giving millions away in a will.
