Great message OldTimer1960! Not sure many on here know the word ameliorate and I certainly won't make things better with this message. I love the Steelers and Bills and it's been interesting to watch the differences in approach to the draft. Pittsburgh never drafts near the top while teams like Cleveland and Buffalo are always near the top half. Somehow Buffalo still can't put together a top rated roster? Why? Let's go back a few years when Buffalo was clamoring for a WR. Everyone I spoke with was going to hang the team if they didn't draft a WR. No problem, the draft was loaded with great WR's that year and the Bills were sitting pretty at pick#9. Then all of a sudden the Bills traded away two first rounders and a 4th to move up in the draft to #4. First I was in shock then I was excited because I thought it had to be for hometown hero and player of a decade Khalil Mack. But nooooooo they select Sammy Watkins! The whole bar was cheering as if Sammy could put the team over the top. My buddy says "Why don't you look happy, we just got the best WR in the draft?" You should've taken Mack, or not traded up at all, I said. The rest is history now. Here are the WR's Buffalo could have picked without trading away their 2015 1st rounder. Odell Beckham Brandin Cooks Kelvin Benjamin Or waited until round 2 and these guys Davante Adams Cody Latimer Allen Robinson Jarvis Landry I'm not here to make Bills fans feel remorse. I'm here to say that all the loud mouths that fill these forums don't really know much. Maybe it would be a reach to take Rudolph at #12. But without a QB you're going nowhere. I like Mccarron better than Taylor so that's an upgrade. Rudolph will need at least a full season before he's ever ready to lead the team. Having those two players gives Buffalo a solid shot at maybe a franchise QB. There are no guarantees but they're both are worthy of a chance. With the 2nd first rounder Buffalo can grab a Tackle or ILB. There will be some really good interior lineman and RB's available on day two to target. But the worst thing to do is go chasing after WR's! Chase a QB but never a WR! Look at the Steelers: Antonio Brown- Round 6, Martavius Bryant- Round 4, JuJu Smith-Shuster- Late Round 2 Oh, and if I pissed some people off here......................good! Buffalo's a great city and I love it's rebirth. But It's time for the Bills fan base to step up and act like winners and you will eventually be the winners!
