Now I remember everybody wearing the rose colored glasses. I thought it was just a Halloween thing. I think draft picks are way more valued now than they were 27 years ago.........And, like I keep saying, Kelly was the foundation to everything else. If we didn't have Kelly, I would have said Polian was stupid, too.

Fixed it

We had our quarterback already. Otherwise, he might as well have been, since we wouldn't have gone to one Super Bowl without Kelly.

How the hell would pick #41 have anything to do with next year's first round pick??

Indeed we are!

100%

I certainly was paying attention. I was more obsessed then than I am now, which is saying a lot..........My guess is that 15-20% of Bills fans were negative about it, at the most. And, this trade is 40% or so against it. I know I was all for the Bennett trade and totally against this one. We had Kelly already.

Please pick something up for me! I thought the Bills had made all the right moves in the last two offseasons - until last night.

Totally disagree with this. I remember being out that night - a Saturday Halloween, and EVERYBODY I talked to was so psyched............In fact, the only person I remember that thought Polian mortgaged the future, ironically, was John Murphy. IIRC, he said that for a number of years on his show - ironic in that now he would never go against what the Bills did or were about to do.

Here's your chance to smell like the Hill:

I hope you're used to the leftovers, because that's really what we're getting next year. EJ smiling - no doubt about that.

Good call! Thanks for the info...................I wish it did end up exactly that - I'd rather lose this year's 2nd than next year's first.

"We went into this draft saying we were going to be bold, and we made a bold move," Bills CEO Russ Brandon said. This is just stupid, IMO, and makes me hate giving up the EJ insurance. Sounds like they wanted to be bold just to be bold............If he said We wanted Watkins and were going to do what we had to do - it would at least wound better.

Is it really? If so, I hate this trade even more. Exactly what I've been saying.

The short list: Los Angeles Toronto Pembroke

I really thought these guys were smarter now. I guess not.

Arguing with my friends about this, I looked up nfl.com's QB power rankings. Counting Brees as a first rounder since he was pick 32, 4 of the top 5, 9 of the top 12, and 12 of the top 16 are first round picks. So one round vs. the six other rounds and free agents. So probably 1 out of every 8-10 QBs signed are first rounders, but yet they make up 75% of the ones that you need in order to win.

Exactly. I was saying all day the only tradeup I wanted was Evans at 7. Did not want to give up next year's first. Even if Watkins is Larry Fitz or Megatron, you still need a QB to win - those guys haven't won too much.

If EJ sucks, this post will be correct.

We had a quarterback in place on Halloween 1987.

EJ better be the man. Or, we are screwed for years.

Giving up next year's #1 is beyond stupid! God dammit!

I want Evans but doubt he'll be there (wouldn't mind trading up to 7 or 8 for him) - so I'd happy with Ebron.

I wasn't debating it. I was telling you what is what.

I think you guys are insane to ride motorcycles these days with all the distracted drivers.
