Travis Henry was the most prolific Bills player ever. His legacy will live on for generations.

Golisano spent to the cap. You can argue with the decision making, but he was not cheap.

You are right, and I typically avoid any of the politically motivated comments on this board as no good comes of engaging. However, I find it disturbing, as an American, when someone says the President is not deserving of respect. That is all. I am out on this particular discussion, and I am sorry if I contributed to devolving the thread.

Please, save your Rush Limbaugh inspired hatred for a different forum. That man is 10x the man you will ever be, regardless of political beliefs. He is the President of the United States of America. If you cannot respect that then there is something wrong with you.

Since the Browns passed on the best WR in the draft, knowing their best WR was likely lost for the year, and did not subsequently address it, I would say they are probably desperate to sign any WR with pulse at this point. There is always next year.

I do not care what they might be called. If this team moves from buffalo I am done with the NFL forever. End of story. I did not click on the article but the title smacks of Jerry Sullivan. Hence my reluctance to even read it.

So many blunts to smoke, so little time. It is common courtesy and traditionally expected. Failure to do so is disrespectful in the extreme.

I love this pick. The Bills have bookend tackles to rival any in the NFL. You have to love this kid's attitude. Here is hoping that it translates to early success. If so, the Bills are going to have a dominating line.

Exactly. Plenty of people would have been complaining on this board if they settled for a second level talent at 9 while Detroit or Tampa traded up to get one of the few elite talents available in the draft. I applaud the willingness to swing for the fences.

I would be fine with Golisano as owner with one proviso - he does not bring Larry Quinn with him. If I am not mistaken (and I would be happy for someone to correct my memory on this), Quinn was part of the meeting TG had with Bills officials a month ago or so. In my opinion, TG saved the Sabres and was a very good owner. I would not like to see Quinn replace Brandon. Quinn was the biggest problem with the Sabres during that time period.

They need to see what they can get out of TJ through this years camp. There is too much raw athletic ability there to give up just yet. He needs to step up his game though.

The decisions to put the football stadium in the outer suburbs and the new UB campus in Amherst were perhaps the biggest mistakes made with respect to urban planning in Buffalo's history, and there have been many. It would be a very different city today if not for those short sighted decisions. The opportunity should not be lost again. I agree with the author.

It should not be a surprise to anyone that Jerry Jones would lead the charge on a conversation to move the Bills to Toronto. There is simply more money for everyone to be made there. It remains to be seen whether any bid from the Toronto group will be viable, what the stadium options will be, how they can manage the players and the CBA, etc. but they are certainly going to take a hard look, and the mouth from the south will lead the charge.

There is little question in my mind that, overall, this Bills team is the most talented they have had across the board in some time. They have one of the top D Lines in the NFL, have significantly added to their LB's at starting and back up positions (in addition to having a budding superstar in Kiko), and despite losing Byrd still have a very talented group of DBs. On the offensive side, many would consider the tandem of Spiller/Jackson to be among the best, if not the best, pair of running backs in the NFL and they have added a talented player to that. Woods and Goodwin showed great potential for their roles in their rookie year. They added Williams via trade who has some impressive numbers and talents on his own. They have a potential all pro LT in Glen, one of the leagues most solid Centers in Wood, and have added considerable talent at LG and RT to go along with some decent potential late round OL prospects and a few that were already on the roster. They do not have a superstar at TE but what they have adequate. This all comes down to one thing: If you believe EJ will make a big step forward this year and be even an above average NFL starting QB in his second year, then trading for the right to select Watkins will make a huge difference. This offense lacked a true Number 1, consistent threat at WR. I have always been a fan of Stevie but he was not it. Williams is, at worst, a wash with Johnson and I think will be an upgrade. Combined with Goodwin, Woods, and Williams the Bills could have a scary offense with Watkins. It all comes down to EJ. Many here do not believe EJ will justify the confidence the Bills have shown in him. Thats fine. The jury is out. I saw both good and bad, but just not enough of either to say for sure. The Bills obviously believe in him and have surrounded him with great talent. Many fans do not believe in the coaching staff. I do. I think Whaley has done a heck of a job so far, and that his moves in this draft do not signal anything approaching desperation to keep his job as many posters here have said and some media as well. I think last year's and this year's move simply signal belief in what they are doing and confidence in the coaches and players they have brought in. For all these reasons, I believe the Bills are very close to being a serious contender and I have not said that for a long time. To the original OP, these are my reasoned opinions, and if you think they smack of "kook-aid drinking", in any flavor, I have two words for you which taken together are not allowable under the TSW policy. As for the comparison to Trent Edwards and the train wreck of a team at that time, I do not see any comparison at all.

I think your "<1% " is off on this board by at least a factor of 50.

They needed someone to throw the ball during rookie mini camp.

Every team selects DB every year. You need at least 8 on your 53 man roster. You can always get better.

And that is what they got yet you are bashing Whaley in another thread for that.

Johnson was no better than 4th best in this new unit. A 4th, possible 3rd for SJ and his contract is better than expected.

The Bills are considerably better at the WR position today than they were at the end of last year. I was always a big fan of SJ but there is little doubt he would have been no better than 4th best in the current group. It was a necessary move to clear him out and make room, plus they recovered the 4th they put up for Watkins, and possibly upgrading to a third. Great moves all told. Whaley has made this team much better this offseason and we still have two more days of drafting.

How so? Cleveland haas terrible team, with no QB, and they are worried about the 2015 draft? I think I you are mistaken.

No - when she dumps him, he is going all the way gay. (not that there is anything wrong with that)

Manziel - Cleveland Clowney - Houston Bortles - Minesota Mack - Jacksonville Evans - Tampa

No.

Certainly not the Bills, despite your campaign.
