    OK, April and not March, you're right.  It's still chilly and gray in Buffalo, when every where else has flowers and sun and spring, and Buffalo is still 40 degrees.  It's right next to an ice cube the size of Ohio so it's not that surprising, but April in Buffalo (when I lived there) was always the most frustrating month.  

    The first time I was back from Buffalo after being away for a few years, I was shocked to see how dirty it was.

    After shaking hands with Goodell, the top picks jump from the dais to crash on tables. Make it happen, NFL.

    With the Bills luck, ACL tear!

     

    I'd be fine with Goodell jumping on one though!

    They'll probably award it to Buffalo, but require that it be held in London, England...

    Don't give them any ideas!

    Downtown is likely the spot where it would go. Utilizing canalside and the cobblestone district. That would be my best guess. 
     

    could also do OP considering the new stadium being there. As well as the old stadium or in place of the old stadium after its torn down. I would expect food trucks, some on site make shift organization bars, etc. it’s a perfect way to for the Bills to get the City/county/state to pay for even more things. They will push for additional help to ensure things go well and some buildings, amenities in place for the draft on the old stadium site. So they can use it after the draft is over and the lot is parking and some other tailgate ideas moving forward. 
     

     If I think 250-400k is likely on the high side. Just because Detroit and some of the cities have been massive, doesn’t mean that every one has to be. But I wouldn’t bet against it. Bills fans travel very well. You’d likely get a ton of Bills fans outside of Buffalo traveling to the area. As well as 31 other teams fans. 

    I could see a lot of us transplants coming back into town for this. I already told my wife that a Super Bowl parade would be non-negotiable. She can stay home if she wants. But I'm going!

    The only thing that’s shocking about this is they aren’t looking to host the draft in 2027. The first possible draft after the stadium is complete. 

    I think 2028 was the first year that some team hasn't already said they were bidding for. Plus it gives them a year in the new digs to iron out kinks.

    To me the real issue is how much can he “hide” until it is playoff time? It seems to me the Bills have had limited success in the playoffs because other teams - mainly the Chiefs, had them figured out.  The Bills have hardly been a consistent juggernaut in the post season in any phase of the game.  Both last season’s and the 13 seconds losses show the Bills need to be just a little better and a lot less predictable to get over the hump.   

    Don't hide anything. Get so good at it, that it doesn't matter what the defense does. If you want to hold back a few trick plays that is fine. But learn to excel at the offense and then they can't stop you. What we need is the playmakers to step up come playoffs. Last year: Diggs gave up, Davis was a mess, Dawkins needed to not get walked back, No pressure on D, etc.

     

    The difference is KC's D was healthy and got good. And they had guys make clutch plays MVS, Rice, etc.

    I am officially retired from speaking on the matter any further.

    I spent 16 days voicing my concerns. People started to turn on me. I was really harshing their mellow. 

    So from now on, I'm just gonna stick with 🤐 and hope for the best. 

    I think the angst comes from people saying it looks bleak. I mean it's a valid opinion at this point. But also we just don't know what will happen. We could be pleasantly surprised or extremely disappointed. 

     

    I see this as refreshing. Diggs was mailing it in by the end of the year. Plus his attitude. Gabe was bad and him and Allen were not clicking. 

     

    Shakir and Kincaid were coming on strong and should be better. Both have higher ceilings then most think. Coleman walks and talks the part. I like is tape. He could thrive in Buffalo. Plus all the other guys are hungry!

     

    This could end up being a very exciting group to watch. I am more optimistic than most. And I wanted a double dip at WR in the draft. Always felt a trade was out of the equation anyway. Unless they all struggle, then maybe a trade happens before the deadline.

    Feel free to wait as long as you need. We can wait. Seriously though, why wait? Everybody knows it's just a semi-educated guess at this point. I promise I won't crucify you if you guess wrong. Go on.
