  1. Most every ranking we see on the internet from Mel Kiper, McShay, Mayock, to the NFL.Com folks, etc.

    start looking like one big group think by the time the draft rolls around. They all are about the same.

     

    My guess is, more NFL boards look much more like Solak's, with a wide disparity from what most commonly believe.

     

    I am not endorsing Solak's rankings, though, I respect the ability to develop independent thought and be willing to try and back it up.

    I know some will say that's ridiculous, but he could be the key to getting a franchise QB.

     

    Glenn is worth more to the Bills than any other team.  We know how good he is and we have spent the time healing his foot.

     

    The LT draft prospects are not good this year.  There is a good chance Dawkins would be a first round pick this year.

     

    If the Giants wanted Dawkins and both firsts, would you do it?  I know I absolutely would.  I may be more confident than others that Glenn will come back and be good again, but I need a QB bad right now.

    If Dion Dawkins continues to prove he can play left tackle successfully, he is worth his weight in gold.

    Having your left tackle locked up for the next five years at a 2nd round draft choice's contract rate is how winning  teams are built.

    I love going to the wing fest downtown every year 

     

    you will find amazing wings from all over the country! Not just Buffalo

    Of course you can.

    All MOST restaurants do is drop them in the fryer for 15 to 20 minutes.

     

    Once done, toss them in a combination of Frank's( or a cheaper substitute) and liquid margarine.

     

    It drives me nuts that people think there is such a difference.

     

    Here is a hint from someone has worked in restaurants and been a Chef.

     

    99% of the crap we throw the fryer people love because it  is just oozing with fat and terrible for you.

    In Buffalo you can throw an old shoe in the fryer and people would devour it.

    Enjoy!

  5. I would take Jordan Mathews back on a extremely team friendly deal.

    That being said, if has to sign a prove it deal, I would think he would do it for a more pass heavy team.

     

    In reality Mathews and Zay are somewhat similar players and the Bills would be better off adding speed to complement the duo of Benjamin and Jones.

     

    Sammy Watkins? I kid, I kid...

  6. One conversation I listened to in recent years, was between a veteran scout discussing a QB draft class in  with a younger scout.(I forgot which year it was)

     

    The younger scout insisted that he felt that each of his top 3 rated Qb's would enjoy great success in the NFL. H ewas hyped about all 3 and couldn't imagine any of then failing.

     

    The veteran scout said, yeah I might pound the table for my top 3 rated Qb's every year, but results show usually only one out of those 3 will meet expectaton.

    It's an inexact science, no matter who is at the wheel of the draft.

     

    The TOP qb names now are :

    Darnold

    Rosen

    Allen

    Mayfield

    Jackson

    Rudolph

     

    But, some of the QB'S drafted below these top 6 will outperform them,

    and it could be safe to say that there is a strong possibility that a minimum 3 of the 6 will not meet expectations.

    And in reality... it will not be the three you are thinking of right now.

  7. I am not a fan of all of this revisionist history when it comes to Bill Polian

    They usually don't take into consideration the entirety of what  "Franchise" or "Team Building" encompasses.

    The draft is one part. But look up any GM and you will see huge misses and a success rate that is probably lower than you expected.

    Ralph falling into hiring Bill Polian was the luckiest and most fortunate thing that happened in Bills history. It  was the single act MOST responsible for our proceeding glory years.

    Polian had a vision of success an untiring work effort and a will to demand excellence that permeated the entire oranization.

    He demanded that everyone be championship caliber,  off the field from the secretaries, to the janitors to ticket office window to NFL side-players , coaches, scouts, etc.

    He was successfull in ALL aspects of team building and that is WHY he is so admired in the NFL

    For his efforts building the Bills, Panthers, and Colts  Bill Polian was voted Executive of the year 5 times! Yes. 5 times! 

    He has said a few things lately that I have shaken my head at, but I will always tip my hat to Bill Polian and thank him for putting together a team that had one of the best runs in NFL history.

    P.S. Not every executive is in the Hall of Fame, the ones that are ?  pretty, pretty,  pretty, good.

    ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Lions were "listening" to trade offers for Eric Ebron at last week's Combine.

    Ebron's $8.25 million salary becomes guaranteed on the first day of the new league year, next Wednesday, and Schefter says Ebron is "a name to watch in the coming days" on the trade market. The Lions have maintained the stance that they're keeping Ebron for his contract year in 2018, but they obviously aren't married to the idea. The No. 10 overall pick in 2014, Ebron hasn't at all lived up to his draft status. He wouldn't fetch more than a mid-round pick or a similarly unproductive player at a bloated salary. GM Bob Quinn didn't draft Ebron in Detroit.
     
     
    Is he worth a 3rd?

    Somewhere Doug Whaley just started feeling a little bit "aroused" at the idea.

     

    Ebron worth a third round pick?

    No, and never!

    Blitz, I believe Lamar can start in Daboll's offense. I think the Bills are gonna keep Tyrod on roster until after they secure Jackson in the draft. Other teams are vying for Jackson's services notably the Ravens.

    IMHO Lamar Jackson, when all said and done will be a top 12 pick. There is no way the most dynamic player in the draft last's until the 20's.

     

    I too believe that Lamar Jackson will be a starter in Daboll's offense. Sooner rather than later.  I predict eventual greatness.

     

    Whether one likes Cam Newton or not, he has been successfull because he,  more times than not ,has been the best athlete on the field.

     

    McDermott and Beane saw this up close and what it can mean to a franchise. 

     

    To top it off I like this kid, I think he is incredibly humble, considering all he has accomplished and his elite skills, he carries himself with grace.

  10. I have nothing against Chris Ivory, he has run hard in the past.

    I am concerned about the drop in his yard per carry the last two years, that's never a good sign for RB'S around the age of 30.

     

    If one wanted to picky I'd say I would have skipped the " Yeah we know his name Chris Ivory" and just signed 2 to 3 rookie free agent RB'S and let them "battle it out"

     

    My guess is one of them would be better than the current incarnation of Chris Ivory at almost no cost.

    Forget about Lamar Jackson.....is Rashaan Evans worth a first round pick?

     

    He is considered a first round pick across the board.

     

    In this day and age of the salary cap I like using number 1's on positions that are extremely hard to obtain in free agency.(without blowing up your cap)

     

    Whatever team actually hits on a QB in the first round (some of them will bust, and no one knows which one), will get 5 or 6 years of low salary at an incredibly expensive position. This will allow that team to strenghten their team in so many ways)

     

    I would take Ridley   ( a true number one wr) over Evans in the first round for this reason. True number one WR'S are difficult to obtain  in free agency, 5 or 6 years of a number one on his rookie contract offers great value. Smith is a sideline to sideline LB, those  will be available later in the draft. Generally LB's that get drafted higher and are valued to a greater degree in free agency are pass rushing, not coverage linebackers.
