With TWO first round picks we COULD maneuver to a #1 overall if the board looked right. Just sayin.

What are you talking about? Both of these guys were #1 on their respective teams... You are saying their #1 first stringers are '1 year borderline scrub rentals'? o.O

We picked up a #1 caliber CB and a #1 caliber WR, we also picked up an extra 2nd and extra 3rd round draft pick. I think this is smart IMO. Chances are we are not going to have a legendary championship season, so hanging it all on Watkins and Darby is stupid. As McDermott has been saying -- build for short term and long term -- I honestly think this does not have a huge impact on us short term and it has tremendous upside long term.

Save us cap$ for sure

Two First rounders Two Second Rounders Two Third Rounders Going into next years draft... Can you say hell yes? We traded an undersized CB and an injury prone WR. I'm not really going to lose any sleep tonight.

Our future is bright, and that is what matters most. We are going to be a high-octane running team, and we picked up Boldin for a reason.

Are you kidding? We now have: TWO first rounders TWO second rounders and TWO third rounders in next years draft? We exchanged an undersized CB and an injury prone WR for some-what comparable counterparts. This WR had an amazing first 3 season in the NFL: "Matthews is one of just five receivers to record 65 or more catches and 800 or more receiving yards in each of his first three NFL seasons along with Odell Beckham Jr, Mike Evans, A.J. Green and Randy Moss."

This is all very anecdotal. Different job different team different players different situation. The most confusing part to me is why we are building a case for a few years of failure being okay under the new McDermott regime, but 2 years of better than bills average failure under Rex Ryan was insufferable. Come to think of it wasn't Rex fired because Whaley had pegs ear and wanted him to bench Tyrod and he more or less refused? Enter McDermott who also fights with Whaley over Tyrod, but Peg being wiser at this point realizes it is Whaley that is the problem. Off topic at this point but come on, we (as fans) seem awfully confused about where we have been where we are and where we are going. My general point is: If McDermott can't give us better than Rex his first year then why did we fire Rex and Hire McD? He either IS a better coach, or he ISN'T. I for one think he is a better coach, and that he will have more success than Rex did in the same time frame. I have to believe that is why we chose to fire the old and Hire the new, it's also why I am having trouble understanding most of the logic in this thread. If that turns out not to be the case, I will be disappointed. At least with Rex we were knocking on the door.

Y'all act like you can see into the future. Our schedule is only difficult based on speculation. Aside from NEx2, nobody knows what to expect from any of the team's we are scheduled against this year. You are all simply speculating. Gilmore -> White a downgrade????? We will see about that. Never liked Gilmore at all not sad he is gone. White is a young and promising player, I think at the very least he fills the spot just fine. I am certainly as likely to be right in my speculation as you are. As for everything else, it's all speculation. There have been many instances where new coaches have immediately made an impact. I'm not saying we will go undefeated or That we are "super bowl bound" I'm saying reading some of this loser mentality talk is so bills. Root for your dang team, get excited and hope for the best! I know it's been a long drought but NOTHING lasts forever. In my opinion, the odds of us performing better under McDermott than we did under Rex Ryan are high.

Meh I've been watching Crusher post for years, he is the guy everyone loves to hate lol

Crusher was told to stop posting and take a break first, let the facts show. He simply responded in kind. Crusher usually causes drama because he has a negative view of the team's current QB and his future, for many fans this comes off as a defeatist/loser attitude. Predicting failure can be misconstrued as rooting for failure. I for one think it's silly to sit around and be negative. We (as fans) do not get to decide the roster (although we do get to debate its merits). I always root for our guys, and I will be this season again for Tyrod and McDermott. Hoping for the best not expecting the worst (we are the NFLs best 500 team after all). I've been rooting for all of them since I was watching games on my dad's lap 25 years ago, cried (I was 8 years old) when it went wide right. This year will be no different for me. Go Bills?

This guy makes no sense since the same thing could happen 1 year later either way. What's the difference? We are talking about 1 season.

Everyone needs to stop putting so much stock into what Terry says in interviews... usually it's baloney=P If you ever want to know what is actually going on you have to read between the lines.

This guy gets it.

McDermott is the captain now. He wants it, let him go get it.

Time will tell, but McD seems to have a strategy and a plan, more than I can say for our last 18 years... You don't like the gamble? I think his odds are good for success.

McD is going to bring a winner to this town, I am confident!

What I find most hilarious is the few posters who are super into the Buffalo Bills (and extremely negative about them in general) but seem to be so blind sided by this like they just can't believe it... Honestly, how could you not see this coming? Did you see the pictures from the draft room? They said it all. McD next to Peg... Whaley answering the phones.

Lol... They let Whaley make the phone calls.. don't be so dense.

Doug Whaley was at best a sales man, he spent this team into terrible cap trouble and made terrible decisions in the draft most notably staking the future on Watkins & EJ. He stupidly lost Gilislee and Hogan to the patriots. IMO he deserved this. Many fans like the way the culture is shifting in Buffalo and for those who are not paying attention, McDermott is in charge!

This is incorrect. McDermott has already claimed ownership of this draft, he isn't the type to avoid responsibility. New culture, enjoy it.

Don't hold your breath. McD is going to be in Buffalo for a while.

McDermott wanted Whaley gone. It took him a few months to figure that out=P Did you guys not see Terry speech after he fired Sabers GM and coach? It sounded like McDermott wrote it. McDermott has a lot of power with the pegs Now, and it was no secret Whaley was on his way out. This is a great move. Whaley was a total fail boat. This is the first draft in a while where our team is actually building for a future. Enjoy it!

So where is that guy yesterday who was obsessed with making threads and posts about Doug Whaleys security and future with the team. That guy was hilarious. And very very wrong=P

Love this looks like he knows how to have fun at least
