Why wouldn't he be?

Yep. Only NE gets them in AFCE.

True. But his point is, the guy is winding up in your division anyway so how do you get the best out of it?

Good job and plausible in general terms. My only critiques are, with 3 front end starters on D leaving (Shaq, Zo, Phillips), I believe the Bills are unlikely to trade out of the First if Epenesa or the like is available. And I don't think they use a Second Round on RB.

Mexico City is fantastic. Make it a week long trip.

In the extremely unlikely possibility that Ruggs falls to 22, you take him. Epenesa? Depends who's picking after you.

My Rule of Thumb: unless he's a generational talent,, never ever take a WR, RB, FB, DT in the first round.

Before they began their dominance, they were just a failed head coach and a 6th round pick, so there's that.

NE, the most successful franchise by far this century, typically trades DOWN for more picks. Should the Bills consider this?

Not sure if the Bills need to expend a pick on RB but if they do, I'm fond of Joshua Kelley from UCLA in the later rounds.

The reason Brandon took the job for a year was because no one wanted the job. The place was in turmoil, with an increasingly senile owner growing closer to death. Mary Wilson wrested control from Ralph and the Detroit Mafia. With no competent football man willing to take the job, it fell to Brandon who immediately begged the just-retiring Buddy Nix to come in and clean up the scouting department with the understanding he'd take the GM job after a year and mentor Doug Whaley, a guy Brandon had identified as a "comer." Then Nix could finally retire. Now, you can hate Russ, Nix and Whaley but the reality at that time was was no one even close to top flight, up and coming would even interview for a Bills job. That was why Chan Gailey reluctantly became the coach and the unheralded Marrone demanded and received the "dead owner" buyout clause. It would take the death of Wilson and the change to stable ownership to make it possible to attract top execs, scouts, coaches & players. Unless you're 14 & new to the Bills, you should already know this.

Was he born in Buffalo?

Seems evenhanded.

That third party pick is very valuable this year so I could see Miami going for a boatload of picks. But why wouldn't they just take Tua themself? It's not like they're set for a decade at QB and Tua is awfully good.

No, you stated it as a fact. Use the question mark for opinions.

Why? He's a backup swing lineman who'd have to be replaced...which likely negates any savings. I mean, come on.

Once again, a false "fact."

And what round were they taken in?

What a lame idea.

And he's one of my all time favorites. So there.

I thought he had a significant position in the Wash. Post.

So is Singletary's.

Pittman.

Pass.

Buffalo is a great place to live, but if you're coming in for a day or two to play a game and are stuck downtown, it's pretty awful.
