I love posts like this. Great job. I would lose it if Adams were there at 10. Hooker would be a great consolation prize. But I think Adams is the star in this safety class. I really like AW. He has a lot of heart. He's the kind of emotional leader this team needs. But I worry about his health. For that reason alone I hope he retires.

They are who you thought they were?

You sir, are my spirit animal. I can't think of a time I read one of your comments that I didn't agree with.

You should've stopped by the Applebee's.

From your keyboard to God's eyes.

Watson is a superior athlete. No one can deny that. But he's a superior athlete who just happens to play quarterback on a supremely talented football team. So it's easy to see why so many have fallen in love with him as a QB option for the Bills. But Williams, Renfrow, and Leggett saved him many times by catching poorly thrown balls. It's amazing that a few of those underthrown jump-balls to Mike Williams weren't intercepted in the Championship game (tribute to Williams being that amazing). If the Bills select Watson, I won't be happy. But I'll cheer for him every Sunday.

He's no Donte Whitner...but I'd take him at 10. Seriously though, you know when you're watching a good team on Sunday, and they have this athletic freak making plays all over the field? That's, likely, Malik Hooker in the future. The kid has star written all over him.

No one mentioned Mark Brunell? Backed up Favre and had a lot of success in Jax.

Sure, Whaley can get some good players. But have you seen his press conferences? Kidding aside, the most underrated signing by Whaley has been Monos.

That was my point. Why would you get Davis or Howard (racing tires and a spoiler) if you don't have an engine (a QB who will get them the ball). I like Tyrod, but he isn't much of a pocket passer. He would not be able to spread the ball to Sammy, Davis, Howard, Clay, Shady, etc. Having great receivers doesn't automatically help the QB get better. Getting Terrell Owens didn't help Trent Edwards. The Lions drafting Charles Rogers, Roy Williams, and Mike Williams (all top 10) didn't help Joey Harrington. Tyrod, like EJ and Trentative, is too reluctant to let the ball fly.

I can't understand why some people buy racing tires and a spoiler for their car before even having an engine.

Mahomes is my pick. Kaaya, to me, looks like Trent Edwards. Pretty good on short and intermediate stuff. But crumbles/panics in the face of pressure. Damn, I had hopes for Edwards. Watson, again in my opinion, is this year's Tim Tebow or Vince Young. A guy who carried his team to a championship. A superior, gifted athlete who happens to play quarterback. But the team he carried to a championship had a ridiculous amount of talent. And his completion percentage was helped by the receivers and routes. I'd take a true QB who is a decent athlete over a great athlete who's a decent QB.

How do you grade our receiving corps with an F? I don't know what to make of threads like this, but they drive me a bit crazy. I get the feeling that some posters are more interested in sticking to an opinion rather than letting data determine their perspective. I like Tyrod. I think we need to keep him unless we find a demonstrably better QB, but he is no pocket passer. How can you analyze the efficacy of our receiving corps when you have a QB who doesn't really seem to scan the field and go through progressions? Take a look at Dez Bryant's stats. When Romo was the full time starter, his numbers were stellar. Over the past two years, his numbers have gone way down. Did he suddenly become a bad receiver? Or did the changes at QB affect his numbers? From 2011 to 2014 Dez averaged 84 catches for 1213 yards. Per game thats 5.33 catches and 77 yards per game Over the past 2 years with Romo mostly out, Dez averaged 3.7 catches and 54 yards per game. I'm not saying we have a stellar receiving corps. But I am asking: How can you all be so sure they are terrible? Robert Woods got 10 catches for 162 yards against Seattle's Legion of Boom...with Watkins out of the game. I just want people to keep things in perspective. Just because something is Bills related, doesn't make it terrible. We have talent on this team. I guarantee that our receivers would get better if our QB started throwing the damn ball. Tyrod needs to start letting his guys go after it.

I heard he can throw a pigskin a quarter mile.

This post is like a Breitbart article with a Huffington Post headline. Along with the comment section.

I hope we keep Woods. I couldn't understand how so many posters were bashing him at the beginning of the season. He played injured last year (groin pull if I'm not mistaken). After watching him torch the Seahawks, we can be sure that he'd be a great #2 if we decide to try out this new forward pass business that all the kids are doing these days.

Didn't this guy play O-Line for the Washington Sentinals? "Nandeska!"

Once again, so many people overthinking details. You know who had great footwork and mechanics? Trent Edwards. Ask Bill Walsh. When the QB makes a great 20 yard strike with pinpoint accuracy, how many people watching the game say, "Yeah, but did you see his footwork? Meh." I'm not saying Mahomes is going to be a star. No one really knows that because mental make-up is such a huge part of the equation. And no one here knows the kid's football smarts. That will come out at the combine. But the tools are there. Strong arm, accurate. I really like his potential. But I have no idea how smart he is with regards to football.

My feeling all week was that our next OC would be coaching this weekend. Specifically, he would come from the Chiefs. While Childress has a higher floor, I think Nagy has a higher ceiling. If this makes any sense, I'd be more excited by Nagy...but I'd be more comfortable with Childress.

Personally, I'd say if Malik Hooker or Jamal Adams are there at 10, you take whichever is highest on your list. If not, try to trade down closer to 20 and take Jabrill Peppers. Then with your next two high picks, you take a WR like Courtland Sutton, and QB Pat Mahomes (I like this kid). Just my two pennies. I'm just a guy sitting on his couch watching football.

Kansas City would disagree with you. ST is one of the reasons they're in the playoffs...at home no less.

Crossman = New Chuck Lester

I think GunnerBill has it exactly right. Fans and media hold on to the antiquated belief that if a coordinator has a great year, he's automatically a great head coach candidate. This isn't necessarily true. Some great coordinators are just that...great coordinators. Like Wade Phillips. As I stated before, Mike McCarthy's offense was rated last in the league before getting the head job in Green Bay. Smart GMs know that there is more to being a head coach than success as an OC or DC.

He spent some time on staff with Matt Nagy (QB coach and co-OC) of the Chiefs.

Thank you. You successfully made a point, with one sentence, that I haven't been able to make with multiple comments.
