BRING BACK LINDY

"It certainly has been a whirlwind since I got here, and while I may not know a lot about hockey, the fact that Terry and Kim already trust me to helm both the Bills and the Sabres is truly humbling..." I mean, he could work closely with Russ Brandon for both teams. Plus, maybe we can try out Dareus in goal and Ennis returning kicks?

600+ total yards and 9 total TDs is worth the higher tender OBD chose not to give, despite knowing of the possibility of an offering team structuring an offer this way because OBD did that with Clay If Gillislee, as he is now, were available with our 5th round pick, then I take him over any other HB who figures to be available

McGahee, Parrish, Maybin, and Spiller come to mind as far as somewhat recent drafts go.

Would be oh so very pleased with this: 1: R1P10 S MALIK HOOKER OHIO STATE 2: R2P12 TE EVAN ENGRAM MISSISSIPPI 3: R3P11 CB SIDNEY JONES WASHINGTON 4: R5P12 EDGE JOSH CARRAWAY TCU 5: R5P27 EDGE KEIONTA DAVIS CHATTANOOGA 6: R6P11 CB BRENDAN LANGLEY LAMAR

He can pattern his play style off Marshawn Lynch so long as he doesn't pattern his eating pattern off Karlos Williams.

I would pay $4M for a 26 year old player who totaled 627 yards and 9 touchdowns. $#!+, many, including me, were willing to shell out $6-8M/year for a 25 year old player who totaled 619 yards and 1 touchdown.

Have no problem with it, but the distinction for me is between "second team" and "another team" in that the former seems to indicate preference for the Bills over the second team and the latter seems to indicate possibly rooting for that team over the Bills. I feel for the Browns and kind of root for them unofficially because of the familiarity between fanbases in wearing bags on their heads... the struggle. But I'd never root for them if them winning adversely impacted the Bills. Also agree it is easier to hold a second team in the NFC because there are less chances for conflict of interest. I root for the Lions because I have family that loves them. Also the similar familiarity between fanbases. To me, all teams are second to the Bills... always.

Hooker > Adams > Allen . . . for the Bills Would be happy with Allen if Hooker and Adams were taken. Hughes-Dareus-Allen-Lawson with Williams and Washington subbing in is Super Bowl Giants-like overall talent/depth. Regarding QBs (and most other positions depending on the depth in the draft), it only takes one taken early to make teams run on them. Could make #10 more valuable.

1. Hooker 1. Allen 2. Foster 3. Mahomes 4. Howard 5. Davis

YOUR PICKS 1: R1P10 LB REUBEN FOSTER ALABAMA 2: R2P12 TE EVAN ENGRAM MISSISSIPPI 3: R3P11 WR ZAY JONES EAST CAROLINA 4: R5P12 S MONTAE NICHOLSON MICHIGAN STATE 5: R5P27 CB BRENDAN LANGLEY LAMAR 6: R6P11 QB CHAD KELLY MISSISSIPPI

Sincerely wondering: what makes you think Poyer is a lock to start? By his lack of production and smaller contract, I assumed he was S3 at best.

While I don't mind this draft, I prefer football players over athletes. Not that they aren't good players, but the focus seemed a little too Combine oriented. I like Reddick, and think his stock may rise to top 10, but agree it is ideal to trade back if he's our first pick.

While this isn't that important, there is something to be said for knowing history and building community. It is good for our coach to know what made many of these legends fall in love with the region. Selling Buffalo to FAs and UDFAs is not necessarily the easiest of tasks.

The phone call regarding this should be responded to with laughter, a click, and this noise:

Yeah, I think I was banking on Z. Brown coming back. Any good 3rd round LB prospects of which I should be aware? Also I'd put S above CB, as I think they believe in Seymour on the outside, but cannot imagine they really believe in Poyer as a starter. Plus, CB is as deep if not deeper than S imho.

"Mills doesn't even touch the speed rusher off the edge and -- ugh -- looks like they're bringing out the cart..."

Preoccupied b/c pursuit of the Peppers pick potentially piquing plenty of people's passions...

This is a good idea. I also don't want to give McDermott more credit than is due just because he is not making the same mistakes as Ryan. Still, I like this. Re: Watkins, no. I have not seen the maturity necessary to be a leader. Talent =/= leadership. To echo what has been said -- show me. Taylor? Yes. He has proven in less time than Watkins that he is a leader of men. By example.

Seems like news worthy of its very own, brand new, thread.

Plenty of mocks have Allen falling to us at 10, where he would likely be BPA.

If J Williams shows up pushing 250... we'll know we fired the correct conditioning people

I do expect 1 S and 1-2 CBs in the draft, so that could help. If we came away with Lattimore, Melifonwu, and Langley, then I'd be pretty pumped about our secondary and D in general. No more out-scheming BB. 11 across from 11 and play ball.

Wonder how they're going to handle Garrapolo being an UFA next year. Maybe committing more money now results in dealing Garrapolo and going with a cheap rookie QB contract when the time to transition comes.
