[Sammy Watkins, worth trading up for? What cost?]

Welcome aboard the Ebron train I just hopped on about 10 days ago.Would love Buffalo getting Watkins or Ebron. With the Fa they've had so far seems like a good year to go after a play maker.How about trade down a few spots and get Ebron?

[Sammy Watkins, worth trading up for? What cost?]

I would do it in a heartbeat.Whether WR or TE the Bills need a game changer.

[Do the recent FA acquisitions change the Bills' draft strategy?]

I wouldn't dismiss the possibility of drafting ebron just because chandler was resigned

I agree with you.I would have no problem with cutting Lee Smith and Matt Caussin.I believe the Bills need a game changing TE, for the first time since I've been a fan(1982).

[The Bills are doing an excellent job in Free Agency]

Pardon me, but isn't that exactly the same reason he should be worth the 9 mill per to the Bills? Wouldn't that type of turnover machine be a good investment to a top defense? If he was able to make all those plays on a bad defense, then just think what he could do for a consistently good defense.

 

The cash strapped Saints manage to cough up enough money to sign the best free agent Safety on the market, as their own starting safety Malcom Jenkins was stolen by Philly.

 

To me it makes as much sense to pay Byrd what he wanted compared to the 100 million they paid Super Mario. In comparison between the two, wouldn't the INT machine be worth more?

If he was such a turnover machine how come no Ints came against elite or upper echelon QBs.He fed off poor and mediocre QBs. Played against Brady how many times not one pick.Hmmm.

[The Bills are doing an excellent job in Free Agency]

what does graham or sullivan or any reporter have to gain by reporting incorrect info? what do the bills have to gain by releasing incorrect or incomplete info? who is more likely to willfully mislead?

When did i say they incorrect info.I said he had an agenda, why did he not release what he would get for every year? ie. 2014, 2015 ect. He released an incomplete report and a generic overview of the contract, to suit his views and article. He is tremendously negative a big switch from earlier in his career.

[The Bills are doing an excellent job in Free Agency]

Assuming TG is lying is a completely fair and valid assumption. The guy has little talent and virtually no professional credibility who only reports things that will benefit his ongoing personal agenda or petty childish personal attacks.

Absolutely totally agree with you.Tim does have an agenda it seems.Just part of the newer age journalism,crap, piss, and moan about everything.

[Scott chandler re signs with Bills]

The problem is that his drops exceeded his broken tackles.

^ This

[[closed]Well, it looks like Eugene Parker's extortion is about to]

Time to start giving the FO some cred.Finally seems we have some guys who know what they're doing.

[I can't believe I am saying this, conservitive is our best option]

You guys watch the games last year? Our line can't block. They tried FA when they signed PEars, Legursgy, etc. It doesn't work. They need big, strong athletic OL and especially at Tackle. Smart money is a T at 9. Hopefully one of the top two slide, but I suspect our pick will come out of Michigan.

If one of the top two OT are there I wouldn't be disappointed not getting Ebron, but at some point I would love to see a stud TE in Buffalo.Just heard a stat 70% of passes are between the numbers per Herm Edwards.If correct I go Ebron.

[I can't believe I am saying this, conservitive is our best option]

I am trying to figure out where Ebron is "small"

 

The guy is slightly slower but more athletic then Vernon Davis.......and if you really want to help a young QB you give him a safety valve receiver. Ebron is that guy

 

Address the offensive line in free agency.....draft Ebron in the 1st and a LB in the 2nd

A matchup nightmare over the middle or down the seam like Ebron with Woods/Goodwin on the outside and SJ13 out of the slot.......someones in single coverage every time and probably open. Just need to give the QB time.

 

Ebron adds a completely different dimension. If the GMen get starting OL FA's...Ebron will be their pick at 12 and we cannot risk a trade down if he's our target. This is why I would not have an issue with him at 9.

Two men I can agree with

[So I wonder who Buffalo is Calling?]

Who besides me has checked TBD 30 million times during the anti tampering free agency window expecting to see atleast a few rumors? A little disappointing. Guess it's Byrd or bust right now.

Me, my girlfriend is not liking it, on top of that I just joined the board.She's going to be pissed.

[Chris Gragg might surprise everyone]

Eh, very risky to count on a 7th round pick for anything. If Evans isn't there, the pick should be Ebron. He would be a difference maker.

Totally agree with this accessment

[I can't believe I am saying this, conservitive is our best option]

I don't know, the name of the game these days is big. I think I'd prefer resigning Chandler (with Modeski also signed and assume healthy) and draft Evens. Stevie, Evens, Woods, Goodwin, Chandler, and Modeski plus some Easley would look pretty good IMO

I wouldn't argue with that.Depends on what Chandler costs.By the way Ebron is 6'4'' 250, so if you want to go big, there's probably no one in the draft bigger while still being as athletic.

[Dan Carpenter en route to Buffalo--re-signs with Bills]

Love it.Can't believe no one wanted him last year.By the middle of the season he was the one player I worried the least about.

[I can't believe I am saying this, conservitive is our best option]

Not tagging Byrd in the end was the best move. I would look at a mid tier (meaning non "name") Guard, LB and maybe WR then draft. We have two TE's on the roster we really don't know anything about that need a shot to see what we have in them so I don't go TE with #9 in the draft. The smart thing to do is us FA to add a couple pieces here and there and build this team by the draft.

I agree with everything but the TE part.i would draft Ebron, he could very well be the best the Bills have ever put on the field(though that wouldn't be hard).A dominate TE would help EJ a ton IMO.

[UGH !! This Is Some of Whats Wrong At 1 Bills Drive]

Have you realized when Byrd walks we have to expend a high draft pick on a position that was a strength but is now a weakness? That pick could have solidified other weak areas but we can never address all of our weak areas because we continue to bleed from our inability to develop and keep talent. At best this team will become mediocre, but that will take a few years.

Far too early to come to this conclusion.Many didn't see Lawson and Hughes having the impact they did this year. With all of free agency and draft to go many things could happen. You very well could be right , but too early to tell. I for one trust this FO more then the the couple.

If you can't stand Mike Rodak you fit right in.

Welcome to the Board

Hi guys, I've read the boards for a long time finally decided to sign up.ESPN's Mike Rodak (who i can't stand) is reporting this morning Bills have 23.1 million in cap space.
