No.

Certainly not the Bills, despite your campaign.

I am with you, Bill, on Watkins. I do not think his college game will translate and he will be a big disappointment. That said, I do not see the Bills trading up for him at all. People love the skill positions and flashy players, but the Bills biggest need is a true starting OT for the right side, and if a potentially dominant one is there, they should jump. This is the biggest thing they can do to help the offense this year. They need two tackles - RT vs. LT not a big deal to me. It matters that they do not give up sack, and can run, from either side. I do not agree with you on Manuel and would not advocate taking any of these QB's in the top ten, or for the Bills to take one at all at least through the first two rounds..

There is a great deal of buzz on Martin in the past week. Not sure he makes it past the Giants at 12. If the other three OTs were off the board, and it came down to Martin or Ebron, as boring as it is I would take Martin. I am not sold on Ebron and I think it is much more likely that plugging Martin in at RT would have a more immediate impact on success of the offense than having Ebron. I would look to get a TE prospect in Rd2. This is not an exciting approach, and fans will certainly be upset, but RT is a glaring hole on this team and needs to be fixed.

I would not trade two steaming piles of horse manure for Tony Romo.

I guess SJ at the voluntary workouts and participating in Manuel's boot camp were just mirages, since he has a bad attitude and poor work ethic. This guy has only ever had positive things to say about Buffalo, the Bills, and his team mates but he has a bad attitude? You don't like the guy fine, but these are BS complaints, even though they have been often repeated.

I am not buying this mock at all. One QB in round 1 and not until 20? I just don't buy it. That said, if all three top OTs are off the board, I think the Bills trade down.

Please do not feed the trolls.

You have no idea how to debate actually. You continue to quote a phrase I used, ignoring the detail explanations provided and pretending you did not see it or understand it, in order to justify your ridiculous rant. If you are going to quote me do not ignore the explanations. It just makes you look stupid.

I will try to speak more slowly. That phrase refers to the fact that Incognito was accused of using, among other means, racist language aimed at Martin in what Martin said was a pattern of bullying behavior. If you recall any of the backlash over this you will recall much discussion in the media and among players of whether racism is or is not still a problem. Other players accused Incognito of this as well, others defended him. I am not suggesting a conclusion either way. As my response to another poster went to try and explain, whether he is racist is completely besides the point now. There is a perception that he is, and any team that hired him would certainly be accused of at least accepting if not fostering an environment where that is OK. I cannot explain it any more simply than that. If you still do not understand it, I can't help you.

I am not sure if any of this rant was referring at all to my posts - it seems to - so in case it does let me clarify a couple of things. First, you clearly did not understand anything said. Second, "to the dim", it is not worth explaining to you. STFU yourself.

Forgive me, but from what I recall, much of his alleged bullying revolved around racist remarks. There is certainly disagreement over whether he is or is not, or whether what he did constituted bullying, who knew what, who cared, etc. but none of that matters. Perception is reality and he would be a cancer on any locker room he was inserted into at this point.

I cannot believe it took this long for this thread to appear. Richie boy is done in the NFL. He has had his second, and third chances and is now the poster boy for racist locker rooms, fair or not. He should be looking into a real estate license, or applying at car lots. This is not a guy any team would want in their player mix at this point.

If they want Evans, they can get him at 9. Dumping known quantities with a history of production for unknown quantities is not a way to get better. If they draft a WR, and he pans out, next year is plenty early enough to dump Johnson. Makes no sense to do it now, then draft a supposed replacement rookie, at a position where rookies rarely produce consistently.

Yes, every player is unique, but Barry Sanders is an all time great and the comparisons being made are meaningless. Spiller has an opt out clause after 2014 which he will most certainly take if he has a good year and the Bills do not offer an extension of what he perceives reasonable value, which seems unlikely. As for the injury bit, Spiller has missed all of two games in 4 years. Pretty impressive for a running back actually. He played through a high ankle sprain last year and still led the team in rushing and averaged 4.6 yards per carry. "Getting looks" will not be an issue unless he blows out a knee this year. Your arguments actually go to my point - Bills fans tend to devalue their own.

The most basic point is that only Barry Sanders was Barry Sanders. He was a unique talent. To some folk's logic here because Spiller does not conform to their view of a hall of fame quality RB he is useless and dead wait. The Bill's opponents would love it if Spiller were not on this team. He is electric and a threat to score on every play, yet since he does not live up to their ideals, many fans devalue him. I choose to enjoy him while I can in a Bills uniform. Once he hits free agency he will be gone.

The Bills are the primary target because they are the ones with the money and public profile, even though they do not directly control the Jills or have any control over the crap the suit alleges. How else would the lawyers get their payday?

I suppose there could be another sucker out there like Indy, but I would not bet on it.

$500K for lawyers I would presume.

Prior is not going to sniff the field in Seattle.

Well said. Very true. Any new ownership group does not need Jim's money. He is not rich enough to make a meaningful contribution. As a public face of a new group, and for his expertise and relationships in dealing with the current Bill's management and ownership, along with the goodwill of the fans he brings along, I could see him getting a stake in the team. Somewhere around 1% to 2% possibly.

Exactly right. The market will dictate, and since the Bills are the only team for sale in the foreseeable future, they are clearly in a seller's market. $1B could be the minimum starting point and I could could see it going higher, perhaps much higher.

I would agree with this. It would be crazy for the Bills to trade up to 1 given other needs they still have, unless they saw a QB they had to have among this year's crop. I do not see that at all. Clowney would not be worth it.

I am in the on crack category. This guy has bust written all over him.
