Joseph Fauria, TE from UCLA. Or Da'Rick Rogers.

There are still some great players out there.. I hope the Bills don't rush in the 4th round to grab a TE when guys like Da'Rick Rogers and Marcus Lattimore are still available. I like Ryan Griffin in the 6th round.

Agree with you on Da'Rick Rogers. I know we just drafted 2 WRs, but he is a stud. Some people want Swope, but I prefer Rogers, and I would grab him 4th round before anyone else does. If Shamarko Thomas/Marcus Lattimore lasts until the 5th round, I also take one of them there (prefer Lattimore), and then take BPA at TE in either the 6th or 7th round

Sure. I watched some videos and came away with the same impression as you. I just meant that Austin has more production and more game time experience than Goodwin. So naturally some aspects of his game will be a bit raw, but with some playing time should improve. I don't have anything in terms of specifics yet because I really hadn't thoroughly gone through his tape, tbh.

At this point, it may be better for the Jets to cut their losses and deal with the cap hit for Sanchez. they've already made moves to "improve" the QB situation with Garrard, so it wouldnt be killing their depth at all. Seriously, butt fumble- no other words necessary.

Apparently Goodwin has the 2nd fastest 40 time ever, only behind Chris Johnson. Something to chew on, folks. Despite this pick, I still think the Bills should grab a late round WR like Alec Lemon, or if we get lucky, Swope or Rogers (pipe dream) The Goodwin comparisons to Austin are a little asinine at this point. Goodwin has tremendous upside, but he also needs serious refinement of his skills

I expected MacDonald to available in the 4th round. The Bills may still draft a TE as they still have options, one being Dion Sims: big target, good hands and improved blocking skills

Completely agree. I think the Bills will talent in later rounds should an OL fall, or grab a player with high upside. I also keep hearing the "Kaep had 1st round OLineman" argument. While this does have merit, and protecting a rookie QB is a must, one has to realize that Kaepernick also had a great supporting cast of running backs, TEs and WRs. I would rather take BPA at those high impact positions than at OL in early rounds at this time.

QFT. The Patriots have not exactly been the hallmark of the greatest personnel moves over the last few years, and its evident in their inability to get to the Super Bowl. Tom Brady is a sensational athlete, but the Patriot organization is not infallible as the media portrays it to be. Personally, I am ambivalent about it, and I hope the OP was being sarcastic lol

Good news for Nelson, congrats to him on finding a job and best of luck. At the same time, though, releasing Nelson still seems puzzling to me. The tender wasn't extremely high priced, and now the Bills will have to spend more draft picks on WRs. Not necessarily a bad thing considering the depth of this WR class, but it doesn't hurt to stock talent on a roster devoid of it in the skill positions TJ Graham and Brad Smith both scare me

But it may just be that you have high expectations for your QB and have wrongly labeled the devil you know as such, and therefore you are caught unawares when you realize the devil you didn't know was even more devilish than the devil you did know Back on topic- personally, I would prefer for the Bills to try out some CBs in FA as there as still some decent guys out there. I look at Kolb and I see a guy who most likely will want starter money as he too, like Fitz, will look at our current QB situation and be skeptical of any real competition. If we can pick up an UDFA (we missed out on Kellen Moore last year) we can utilize that money elsewhere. I have nothing against Kolb, though.

+1 Pretty much like "expressing interest" in Alex Smith. There may be genuine interest in Flynn, but if the demands in return for Flynn are steep the Bills may be attempting to pressure another organization into making a deal for Flynn. Honestly, any time a QB hits the open market, organizations like KC and Buffalo are thrown out there- I wonder how much of this information is credible and how much is just pure conjecture.

Well, there are other factors that play into these decisions- namely intangibles, quality of play in college, etc. Regarding Flynn's capabilities, I have no doubts that he is a good quarterback. But are there quarterbacks in the draft who have more potential and better intangibles? It is possible. It is important for the Bills to be diligent in pursuing all available avenues, but in the end I feel that it may be a better option to draft a quarterback and create a culture change in the organization. If we could acquire Flynn for a 6th rounder, I would jump all over that- however I doubt that the Seahawks would consider that fair compensation. If you're going to make that premise, then why draft bother drafting a QB at all? None of them have any experience at the NFL level, after all

QFT. With only 6 picks, the Bills can't grab two in the draft and ignore other needs. We may take a flyer on an UDFA quarterback, though. (Perhaps Brad Sorenson?)

Not to be nitpicky, but how is that stupid? Stephon isn't going to be releasing any information on free agents, if that was what you're expecting. I'm expecting some sort of personal news or perhaps something Stephon may do for the community.. and a charity is certainly not "stupid."

To answer your question, Flynn offers more upside IMO. However, his body of work is very limited, so it would be asinine for Bills to give up a middle round pick for him, especially with the current state of the Bills roster

I agree completely. I've noticed many people on this board are enamored with picking OL in the first round, but I have a feeling the Bills will opt to either draft a QB or LB. There is no doubt that the Bills should look into upgrading the OL, but then you've also got to think about value as well- high impact defense players should be the pick here. Jones may fall due to injury concerns and would be an absolute steal in the middle rounds
