I like this idea as well, I think a Trade with Dallas or the Ravens and then the Browns so they get their QB and we get a first, 3 2nds and 2 thirds.
I think if they believe he is the best tackle or 2nd best, then trading back twice and gaining two 2nd round picks in the process of selecting him would be a great start to the draft. Otherwise, pick Mike Evans at 9 and hope to get Kouandjio in the 2nd. I think Kouandjio will be picked before our current 2nd round pick though.
Go Bills!!
i disapprove of the way in which this thread was set up
How so?

Last year at the pre draft luncheon (which is today) it was clear there was one QB they did not like. His name was EJ Manuel
I don't remember that. Roughly what was said? Thanks.

Aaron Williams?
Aaron Williams could play Free Safety.

I am not a Steve Johnson hater. I think, If he gets his **** straight, that Mike Williams is going to be a pretty significant addition to the Bills roster. With Williams, Woods (seems to be getting overlooked by many), Goodwin...and to a lesser extent Graham, Hogan, etc etc...the Bills have a pretty decent set of receivers, with or without Steve Johnson. So, if the Bills could get something useful in return, I think I would be open to the idea of trading him. However, I just don't see that he, on his own, is going to net anything significant. We have seen countless guys over the last few years, with better credentials (perceived or real) than Steve Johnson net close to nothing in a trade. That doesn't mean, at all, to say I think he sucks, or has no value. I have little doubt, if the Bills released him, he would sign somewhere quickly and be productive....New England comes to mind. New Orleans..
I disregarded and discredited your comments when you said Graham was a decent receiver.

This is a good schedule on the only objective metric - they have more rest than their opponents 3 times - less only once
Play Jets off their Thursday then return the favor.
Play the Packers off GB's Monday Night.
Play the Chiefs off our BYE - Chiefs on normal schedule
3 favored - one unfavored - I'll take that over last year's criminal nonsense
100% !!!
Thanks for the great factual info on the schedule Bob.
-
Jets only team coming off bye. Packers come in off a Monday.
That is great news. I think the last two years we had 3 teams off byes. Big change in our favour from the NFL. That is important! And, once again, no Pats after the bye, like they really need extra time to prepare for us once a year!
-
And only one home game in December which is against GB, who already plays in a frozen tundra. I give up.
The Bills ask the NFL for minimal home games in December to help ensure more sellouts. And, at least we aren't playing GB in Green Bay. They are beatable on the road regardless of wheather.
-
Last stretch of schedule is brutal. Why is it that every year the bills play patriots away week 17?
At least we don't play the Pats after their bye week AGAIN!
-
01: Who cares?
02: So does Wal-mart.
03: Wow. . .someone made a mistake in reporting. Like that never happens.
Lay off the speed, dude.
Totally agree!

I am telling you right now, He is trade bait come May 8th. just wait and see. I can see him packaged with another pick to move up or for say a 2nd or 3rd rounder to the right team (Raiders?)
I would not complain about a 2nd rounder for him. Don't think we can get a 2nd rounder for him though. I still think he can be very good or special. But, not sure if the coaches and FO think so. So, if they trade him I don't think the coaches or FO believe in him anymore.....so, I would be fine with the trade.

I think the Bills are steadily improving. I think if Whaley and company stay the course they are on, the Bills will be 9-7 this year or better. I agree we will be in the playoff hunt come week 14 and 15. If this happens I doubt a new owner that purchased the team would house clean in year one when it is our best year of the century. And, we are continuing to improve annually under this regime.

I think he's the pick if he's there...
But I doubt he'll be there unless there is a crazy run on QB's and Sammie Watkins falls to Tampa Bay...I've been reading a lot about the Bucs pick...There are Tampa fans who feel they already have a definitive #1 WR and the smart move would be to get one of the elite OT's and grab a WR at #38 because the depth at WR is much better than the depth at OT this year (sound familiar Bills fans?)...But I think for the same reasons many Bills fans have favored Evans, the majority of Bucs fans feel the same way...
One thing that is interesting about the Bucs situation is they have a new, experienced HC who is a Defensive guy...The Bucs Defense was right in the middle of the NFL last year...But they have to deal with the Saints, Panthers, and Falcons in Division...I'm 100% certain Lovey would not mind adding a top Defensive talent at #7 overall...The question is will there be anyone there that rivals Evans or one of the OT's in their minds?...And I'm guessing the answer to that question will be no...Which leads me to the possibility of a Tampa Bay trade down...There are also some Bucs followers who seem to think they will look to trade down a bit...The move from #9 to #7 wont cost much...That may be a trade up for the Bills to consider...
I also fear Tampa takes Evans. However, remember Lovie Smith is coaching Tampa now. I can't imagine Lovie and company taking a WR in the first round let alone #7. Lovie teams never invest in WRs. Usually they would take a playmaking player on D. They need to switch the D over to a Tampa 2. I am sure they need to swap some personell in and that won't have them taking a WR there. However, looking at the initial situation you would think they draft a WR. I really don't think it is happening.
-
I second that.
I third that on Niklas or ASJ!
-
Maybin wasn't even good enough to play special teams.
As for what's most important it's taking Mike Evans if he's available.
AGREED ! 100 % !! Mike Evans !!
-
You should read up a little as it's been mentioned more then once by the ppl you would think would know that this is one of the deepest drafts in recent memory
Especially for WR and O line thru the entire draft!
-
Ok. Who wants to move up? And for who? And are they paying what the bills want for the pick?
You don't know until the draft starts taking place. It will take players or positions to fall to create value and teams to want to move up.

If we select Matthews at #9.....he MUST play RT. Otherwise, Glenn walks for LT money after two years. If Glenn stays at LT and Matthews plays RT....you can resign Glenn for LT and since Matthews is a 1st round pick we can have him for 5 years instead of 4. So, it gives us bookend OTs for a minimum of 5 years! If Matthews plays LT it gives us bookend OTs for only two years. That would be a true waste of the #9 overall pick. IF we pick Matthews and I strongly prefer Evans, he MUST play RT.
Plus with Matthews playing RT 3 of 4 seasons in College and then 5 of 5 seasons in the NFL and NO LT experience (maybe beside some injury replacements) for a total of 8 of 9 season I strongly doubt he would be lured from us for LT money.
Thoughts?
-
That's a mockery alright. Jff will be there at 9 and may be there at 41. In both cases I trust he will thankfully be there at 10 and 42 respectively.
That's funny.
-
He wants to start and Buffalo's Brass will not bring in anyone to actually compete with EJ and make him earn/win the job
That's not true. They brought in Kolb last year. What FA QBs were out there this year to bring in I don't think anyone better than Thad. They have pretty much said they are not draftig a QB in the first round this year. But, they can still draft a QB this year. I think if Pryor is out there the Bills will kick the tires on him as I think they are going over most options all the time.
-
What's the date of his "complete comback"? The draft is May 8th....
Anyhway, I give the chances of this happening as approx. 1.5 Merrimans.
Way funny!
-
Overall... I don't give a chit.
This year??? I planned my wedding for May 9th because the draft would be done already. Jokes on me right.
So I've got a cocktail reception during round 1. My wedding and reception through rounds 2 and 3. And a chartered "pleasure boat" cruise for the remaining of the draft.
Couldn't be more pissed.
Sorry! That blows!

Everything about the 2004, 05, and 06 draft....is it any wonder we've been so bad:
No doubt!!!
This is how I feel every time the Bills draft an OSU player. I think it is because we see every snap these players take in college for 3-4 years, plus all of their pressers, issues on and off the field..., Too much analysis!
I strongly dislike everytime we draft a player from Ohio State, Florida State and Texas. Although, I didn't mind the EJ pick. But, FSU is a bad sign.

I don't like it at all. Unlike the peanut gallery, TJ Graham is not a bad receiver. He was open on MOST of his thrown to attempts last year, MOST of the failed attempts were not his fault. I think with some consistency at QB, we see a great player emerging this year.
Tim-
TJ Graham may get open but he can NOT catch. He jumps when attempting to catch the ball. He is pop warner!
Don't forget about Flash...

Agreed! He has amazing potential and would love to see him get the ball much, much more just like the Jets game.
