I've always thought the WR class from the 1996 Draft was one of the best of all time. Marvin Harrison and T.O. certainly lead the pack while Keyshawn Johnson, Terry Glenn, Eric Moulds and others had great careers as well. How would you rate the top 10 WR's from that class?
1. Terrell Owens
2. Marvin Harrison
3. Mushin Muhammad
4. Joe Horn
5. Keyshawn Johnson
6. Eric Moulds
7. Amani Toomer
8. Terry Glenn
9. Eddie Kennison
10. Bobby Engram
Looking at it, this is a very productive class. Not sure if another class can quite compare.

Some things I liked on this kid after watching a few clips:
1. Love his Change of Direction skills. Seems he can turn sharp with good hip movement without losing balance.
2. Really liked how he pushed his man back into the play. Good upper body strength.
3. Nice hand punch and swim move. Not a "one-trick-pony" type of player.
4. Never seemed to lose the ball. Always knew where the play was being run.
5. Fast, could be faster off the snap, but closed with a burst. Good hustle.
Now, I know the highlights were just...... well, highlights, but if you watch and see what he does well, it seems to me he as a TON of things to build upon.
Go Bills!

My Dad and I have a long standing bet of who got the most votes for the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting between Steve Young and Dan Marino in 2005. I cannot find any info on this and wondered if anyone could possibly help us out. Thanks and Go Bills!

I think the Bills should sign him
I agree. I mean.......look what we did for TO. First team he didn't mouth-off about. "Just playin the plays that are called"

Honestly, I loved Spiller from the start. However, I questioned picking a running back that high because of all the other needs we have. That said, it is making a lot of sense now. In the top 10, you need to hit homeruns. Spiller is as good of a bet to be a homerun as anyone in the draft.
Anyone who just thinks he is rb is clueless. He has great hands for a rb and I could definitely see him being split out in the passing game. This league is about matchups. No LB can stay close to Spiller.
Additionally, he is a beast KR. Between Spiller and McKelvin, we have the BEST KRs in the entire league. He breaks a ton of tackles and runs with power.
I only go with throwbacks jerseys because I hate taking risks on unproven guys (I still get a chuckle out of Losman jerseys). But based on everything I read about this guy, I'm jumping full aboard the Spiller train. Great dude who is a great football player. If Gailey has any creativity at all, we jsut drafted the Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Yeah, his name if funny.... kinda. Maybe it way was back in 1982. Y'all reminde me of that little Coke-Bottle glasses, bucktooth, braces wearing, bad breath zit bag that used to hump his locker when no one was looking, or wore black socks with white Converse and gym shorts and thought it was "IN" or rode his light-blue Huffy to school with your bannana seat, orange flag and wicker basket on the front of it filled with Gummy Bears and pencils as you hummed the theme to Star Trek while thinking "no-matter-what" your Mommy would always be there for you when you got laughed at during the Softball tryouts at the local Boys and Girls club that you couldn't stand to go to because you would rather be at home playing Atari and picking your nose while enjoying the smell of your own farts in the comfort of you own bedroom which was decorated with posters of Strawberry Shortcake (who you secretly had a crush on) and Michael J. Fox........ who you also secretly had a crush on. Get over it! It aint that funny.

I agree with the OP. This draft really helped to solidfy the starting DL and the depth issues we've had at LB for years. And they didn't take any DBs, recognizing that after years of taking solid DBs in the draft, we no longer have a need to improve the secondary through the draft this year. Great draft all around. I think next year the defense will be significantly improved and over the next two to three years this team is really going to be a contender. Compared to our division rivals, we had a heck of a draft.
I agreed. New England: Of their 12 picks, only one was their original (7 trades, 4 compensatory). They "overbrained" themselves. New York Jets: Grabbed a "nickleback" with the 29th pick when they already have 2 shut-down corners. They need more than 7 picks in the last 2 years to stay competitive Miami: 1 offensive pick out of 8? Defense wasn't their only concern. Buffalo sat and addressed their core concerns without making HEADLINES. Great draft IMO.

For the first time in a long time I finally feel like the guys in the front office have a freaking clue. They made the decision to switch to a 3-4, went out and got the coaches they needed and yesterday and today added a bunch of players they needed.
The NFL is a business and like any good business you need a plan to succeed. It's clear that Nix & company have an plan, are going to work their plan and I believe they'll be very successful.
Hey, pretty sweet gig for Buddy and Chan. All they needed to do is come in and make "football" decisions. Honestly, we couldn't get much worse. It's alot easier to build something that has a recent history of being "bottom-feeders" than to maintain a high level of excellence. Pretty much anything they do is going to give you a good feeling because they're finally going in the right direction.

Well, I'd say "welcome to the board" but I see you've been here since '03.
Finally got the courage to take your keyboard off mute, did ya?
Keep posting. You'll like it even more here.
Sorry, slipped into a coma after we drafted McGahee in the first round of '03. Just came out of it last year, looked around and realized that we still hadn't made the playoffs. Guess I didn't miss much.

I have been reading TSW for about 8 months now and I am totally impressed with the discussions that takes place on this board. Generally, the discussions are interesting and well though out. This is my first draft with TBD and I have enjoyed reading the topics and different opinions that have been posted recently. It just goes to show that Bills fans know Buffalo, know the Bills and know their passion. Again, thanks for making my first TBD draft an enjoyable one!
A sign of COACHING yet to come?

4th & inches from our own 37 yardline. 7:17 left on the clock in the 2nd Qtr. 1 (one) Timeout left. Buffalo lines up to "draw" the defense offsides. Clock ticks....... timeout! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME????
If we are going to gamble a timeout, why don't we challenge the first touchdown by the Redskins that was CLEARLY not a touchdown??? If the offense does not have possesion of the ball as it crosses the goal-line, then it is not a touchdown. The offense did not have possesion!!!!
Instead of challenging an obvious blunder by the officials, we gamble out last timeout to draw the defense offsides with 7 minutes remaining on the clock!!!! WITH OUR LAST TIMEOUT IN THE HALF!!!!!! No coach in his right mind would make that call! Imagine it was the regular season and not pre-season! Now your pissed too!

HEY CHAN!!!!!!! YOU'RE BEING EVALUATED TOO!!!!!!
