Nice Pick, the kid is our best WR immediately.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I like him but slow down. He may be 2nd best but Stevie is really good.
-
They are saying that he goes 69 to Arizona in nola
-
Never said anything about McShay. Said the rest of the NFL.
How many wins do the Bills have since CJ arrived? So was he the right pick? I thought the NFL was about wins but the Bills seems to think other wise.
You are so right. This franchise would be in a much better place had they drafted Bryan Bulaga instead of Spiller. If you don't like the pick its one thing, but when you make ignorant statements you lose credibility on all of your points.
Anyone that does not like the Spiller pick in hindsight is just being stubborn and wrong.

41 - Woods
46 - Ertz
then immediately sign Dansby
This is exactly what I want. I think that Ertz is going to go to SF though.
I just read in two stories we have two picks in the 3rd, NOT the 2nd.
Can someone please verify this isn't true? Huge difference between 2nd and 3rd.
Two picks in the 2nd 41 and 46 and then they swapped 3rds with STL (went from 71 to 78)

I am cool with the pick. I liked the trade back and wish that they would have done it again. I didn't want a QB at 8 but Manuel was my favorite of the group (i liked Geno some also) I like his upside. I was terrified of drafting a QB whose ceiling was Dalton or Schaub. I wanted a guy that could turn into a star. He has some flaws that he will need to overcome but I like it.
P.s. how funny was it watching the national reporters being so shocked? Both Chris Brown and Joe Buscaglia mocked EJ to the Bills. A lot of conversation on him around here and we were able to see through the Nassib smokescreen. As I have said before if I want to read and hear intelligent Bills conversations I would rather listen to you guys than that elf Todd McShay.

Good trade...picked up a 2nd and kept Austin out if the division
-
Welp, on the clock!!
-
Good luck Cleveland. I hope that you enjoy Aaron Maybin more than we did!!
-
This is a big moment in this draft!! What will Cleveland do??
-
Traded their 2.... Will they take next years?
They had 2 2nds
-
They must know that they can get Brandon Albert to play LT
-
I just saw on twitter that they don't think Cleveland wants to go back that far.
-
If the Bills are going to trade down I hope that Buddy Nix double checks the number before calling
-
Besides for Roscoe (who had his moments) which small players were bad players? The majority of small guys that I can think of have been really good players.
-
I would not. This draft is not top heavy and has good depth. If anything I would like another 1st in next years stocked draft.
-
So we are going to try the New Orleans thing again. Last time I had tix for Bills v. Saints, Katrina blew that up! Here is hoping we can make it happen.
A big Amen from NOSAINT and I. New Orleans is really a great place to come to. For those of you that have been here you understand and for those of you that haven't you will really enjoy it. I would be happy to give any recommendations on place to eat, things to do, etc... I hope to see everyone at the big party that we have that weekend!!
-
I think that the Bills have done a pretty good job leading up to this draft. There are a lot of teams looking to trade down and the Bills have done a good job of making their pick valuable. Regardless of what ends up happening they are certainly leveraging it as best they can.
-
Exactly...
I keep hearing these names...Welker, Jackson, Sproles, etc, compared to Austin...And here is the single thing these Austin at #8 fans are completely ignoring...
Welker - Undrafted FA
Jackson - 2nd Round - #49 overall
Sproles - 4th Round - #130
I don't think anyone on this board is saying that Austin cannot become a very good NFL player...He can, and players who are basically his size have done well...But those players are VERY rare in the NFL...VERY rare...And that's why it's a tremendous gamble to take a player his size at #8 overall...And if there is one team that absolutely cannot afford to gamble on any position outside of QB, it's the Buffalo Bills...Especially when you are considering a player that is way...and I mean WAY out of the desired height/weight for his position...It's not smart Drafting...Taking Austin at #8 would be stupid, and that's not even saying he won't succeed...He may...they may get lucky...But it's absolutely not worth the risk...Not for this team...And not now...
Percy Harvin was 5-11-192 at his Combine...He's no where near Austin's size...Desean Jackson is two inches taller than Austin...Welker is close to Austin's size...
The one thing that he has though is incredible production and consistency. He is not someone like Mingo or Ansah that have skills but no production. Austin has top end skills and top end production. I don't see it as a risk based on anything besides for his size.
-
I really do not understand the disdain that some have for Austin. He is small, so is Wes Welker, Percy Harvin and Desean Jackson. He has never been hurt and can score from anywhere on the field. IF the Bills were to take him they would create some matchup nightmares for opposing defenses. Speed kills and the Bills would have an abundance of it. I am not just talking James Jett straight line speed but guys that can make moves and accelerate.
-
So you are going to be pretty upset when the Bills address their CB need in first 2 or 3 picks.
Smith is built much thicker... DJ is a couple inches taller, a little heavier... they're small, but not AS small.
Best chance to move down is for someone that wants Austin, so that may be why they are talking him up. Not that he can't help, but i think they want someone bigger... they've said so.
I'd be okay with CB as long as there is value. This team has needs and if they are plugged with good value I am okay with it.
I dont think that the Bills are going to draft a guard at 8. There would be nowhere near the buzz that there is now about their pick. Arizona has a bunch of needs and are right in front of the Bills and there are not rumors swirling around them. People just assume that they are going to sit at 7 and pick guard.
-
I am all over the place on this draft and have no idea where the Bills will go. I just had a thought that maybe the Bills leaking of all if these names are just smokescreens so that someone doesn't trade up for Geno?
The evidence:
-naturally, everyone will link Nassib to them so they didn't need to feed that.
-Barkley being "their guy" was a late revelation that came out as Geno to Cleveland was thrown out.
-My source that gave me Kolb and the schedule leaks told me a month ago that the Bills liked Geno the EJ then Tyler Wilson. He didn't think that Geno would be there and the board can obviously change over a month.
-Russ Brandon definitely has the power now and I am sure that he likes the idea of the top rated QB
-Austin is another guy that is gaining some late momentum and maybe that is plan b. If Geno is gone make someone trade up for Austin or take him yourself.
I am just thinking out loud but I guess that it's possible. Maybe they are acting like Geno isn't an option so that someone doesn't jump in front if them to scoop him up?
-
I voted for Austin (I think that is who I want too). He seems to be the guy with the late momentum like Mark Barron had last year. Barron would have been the pick had he been on the board. If the bills trade down I would think that it would be a QB but at 8 they get the best player at one of their need positions.

I almost forgot to set my VCR; this darn pager keeps going off.

Three votes for Tavon Austin.
Any team with an average quarterback, a good offensive coordinator, a good O-line, Spiller, Freddy, Stevie and Tavon Austin could do a lot of damage.
Austin might be the only elite talent available when the Bills draft at #8.
Of course EJ Manuel is an elite talent but Austin is the guy I've had a change of heart about.
I am just going to 2nd this
