About as far off as Phylis Diller is from being a PoA. badum-bump!
For you younger members of the board who are lost please feel free to google Ms. Diller.

+1 on this thread.
Because the discussion back and forth seems decent, respectful, short and to the point and well thought out.
Normally don't we hate that?

I know I've posted this in some other threads but I'm all for going boom or bust in the later rounds. Danario Alexander was arguably the best receiver in the country last year and has amazing physical tools. Had he of been able to compete at the combine and was able to run sub 4.5 (very possible) he would have probably been a late 1st or early 2nd Rounder. Unfortunately he had a third knee surgery on his knee when he landed on it awkwardly during Senior Bowl Practice. The injury was unrelated to the two previous knee injuries, they just went in and cleaned out some cartilage. He could be available in the late rounds and if he could come back healthy he could be a real steal. Anyway check out the highlights...............
Stl Bills, I hear ya, man, and especially in the 5th, but wow, 3 knee surgeries, that does scare me. I don't think it is too much of risk but I do think you can usually get good LB depth in the 4th or 5th round, which, even as badly as you think the bills have drafted in recent years it has been the round of success for some of their LBs.
EDIT: Just read his bio. Yeah, I'm sold let's get him and consider ourselves lucky.

Yeah, AD, and throw on top of that we are the only home team in the Eastern Conference to win their first game.
1 down, 15 to go.

Did you guys also check out Dan Van Wie's slide article at the bottom.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/377648-...e-draft-version
Sure it states some of the obvious, but it was pretty darn good. If anyone needs a refresher on what's going on with the Bills (great, I can almost hear the sarcasm coming
) it is 5 minutes full of "worth it". -
They got rid of their franchise QB, traded their best receiver, got rid of their best running back Peyton Hillis (my favorite Denver Bronco) and got rid of their defensive coordinator Mike Nolan.
I am not saying that Nolan made a silk purse out of a sows ear with that Broncos defense, but he came close.
That is a big loss for him and I hate the fact we (seemingly) just missed out on him as our DC.

1. Build FO up
2. Put together coaching staff and schemes
3. Assess talent on team
4. Build through the draft
5 Play young talent in new schemes
.....and once above is accomplished
6.Aquire FA talent to compliment the core of your team
The Bills haven't been able to follow the formula over the last ten years. Who cares what the Phins and Jests are doing?
You forgot:
7. Hope that 70 is the new 50 for football guys.

We better have a 1974 Steelers style draft or we are looking at another miserable season in Buffalo. The Jets are better, the Dolphins just got better, and New England is New England. This has been the least exciting and most dissapointing offseason in a long time. I see no real improvement and I don't expect the draft to reap many gems. We haven't had a good draft from top to bottom in a long long time and I don't forsee that happening this year either. So I'm just resigned to an 11th season with no playoffs. Now if we draft Clausen next week I'll at least have something to get energized about as I think he's going to have a great NFL career. Get some offense guys!!!
OK, I see your point. BUT, as far as the Sit-and-Do-Nothingers in this League, we are probably the best at it.
So...at least there's that.
-
Lynch is going to be a problem so if the Bills can get some value for Lynch it would be great, especially if they can convert that pick to Toby Gerhart.
DING! DING! DING! DING!
The Knocks on this guy that some have made were ridiculous.
-
Irregardless whether he did it or not, after winning a verdict in one of the most talked about court cases in US history.
Why didn't he just get the hell out of the country?
He could have written his book or maybe been the fencing pro at any posh Cancun resort.
But generally, as a policy on TBD, we're against murdering wives, right?
-
He's getting another chance for freedom
You know all this guy had to do, the ONLY thing he had to do was not kill his wife.
Honestly; he had cash, opportunities on TV, businesses (I think he co-owned a couple of Popeyes). How great a life he could have been having in his 60s if he could have just heeded that small bit of advice?
-
However, after thinking more about it, I am becoming more convinced that we should take Clausen at 9 and pick a LT in the 2nd, or try and trade that pick for Gaither.
Yeah, there's a cure for that.
Can someone pull-up the Speedo picture again?
Seriously though, Marauder, I think our time with Clausen came and went as of his pro-day. I think one team may pass on him before us, but not all three (Cleveland, Seattle, Oakland...hell, possibly 4 if you consider KC).
-
Mike Lombardi said the other day that when he was in Miami, Gailey advocating passing on Drew Brees because they had Ray Lucas on the roster...
I just threw-up a little bit in my mouth.

Great comments, guys.
I'll miss going to Bagel's this year (well, I missed it last year, as well) to watch the draft...you all would have loved it; draft guides all over the floor, pizza to be eaten, interviews to go through, movies in between picks and back yard quarterbacking achieved with his two young sons playing D-Lineman...yeah, there was a lot of passing.
-
We're not going to the Super Bowl. Given our history of draft's lately I'm still worried about us even picking a difference maker in the first round.
That being said, why am I still on the edge of my seat?
Why am I getting excited about Jimmy Clausen, Buluga (spelling, sorry), CJ Spiller, Williams, Tebow, Cody, Campbell or Gaither in a trade or the new Daisy Red Rider Pump Action BB Gun that I could shoot my eye out with?!
Why am I already planning my Thursday April 22nd a week in advance?
Why is logging online not good enough? Why do I want to run to the store and buy every draft guide on the shelf?
Why am I skeptical about everything I hear all year long by learned people, until I've investigated it myself, but in April, if Betty White is going to be on the NFL Network to talk about Golden Tate I have to program it into my DVR?
Man, I don't know whether to embrace this addiction or go for an intervention.
sigh
OK, I DO know...now give me a big hug and lets go Bills!!

You are making this way too simple---you can not base stats size and 40 times, as only criteria for draft position. Sure it is important, but you have to know there is more to it. Obviously you watched Roosevelt routinely dominate at mac level, but you need to see Gilyard to realize what he is all about. At the pro level the difference is the ability to separate from the defender. Gilyard has explosiveness unlike anyone (other than maybe mccluster) in the draft. Taking nothing away from Roosevelt and it is not just big east vs mac, were talking about two straight BCS bowl games (sugar this year) vs the international bowl. How many mac db's are getting drafted, Roosevelt is a talent and to be thought about being drafted is quite an accomplishment. Another note is there have been questions regarding Roosevelt and his ability to use hands and catch the ball with proper technique that did not help his stock at all. I would not bet against the kid from making a team. Bottom line not fair to him to compare him to Gilyard, who quite frankly would be a first rounder if he had a little more size...you asked, hope that helps explain
Solid, solid, solid points, Ronnie.
Nicely done, buddy.
Thank you.

Naaman Roosevelt works out for the Bills.
This is great news. UB held its pro day at the Bills field house so this really counts as a second look at Naaman. Draft him in the 7th or sign him as a UDFA.

You made my day, PTR. Thank you!

Impatience has not been Ralph's biggest issue. Meddling and frugality are more problematic.
Man, i don't like to be this guy, but i'll go there.
the biggest problem may be his impending senility and i don't mean it as a joke.
-
In his Junior year i believe Naaman was the third leading receiver in the nation. As a senior, with a sophomore QB getting his nose dirty for the first time and no Stark all season (a proj 4th rdr this year who ran for 1300 yds in 08) he still caught 63 balls and i believe 9 tds.
That's impressive regardless of what conference you are in.
BTW, i did not show a discrepancy between guys rated 12 and 20...it was 12 and 43 rated receivers.
and i've seen lesser talent from even UB get picked up.

When Wright was playing the OL guys were smaller. A 270 pound NT won't cut it today. JMO
They were smaller, but not that small in many instances.
Smerlas' best years were behind him when we let him go, but he was playing at 305.
-
Makes me remember back to when the Bills had Jeff Wright starting at Nose Tackle through all of our Super Bowl years.
All 270 lbs of him.
Before him, Fred Smerlas, after him Ted Washington.
Regardless of what some say, I always thought that team didn't win at least one Super Bowl b/c they sort of seemed to stand pat with where they were at.
EDIT:
Between 1990-1994, 4 out of our first 5 No. 1 picks were DBs (sound familiar?) with the lone exception being John Fina in 1992.
-
They have tried to make the bold move but our reputation is making that harder than anyone realized. Having the media crap on your city and team nonstop does have the effect of poisoning people's perceptions. We have our problems but people's image of us is ten times worse than reality.

Yeah, I am not a violent person by any means, but when I hear commentators and retired NFL players giggle...I mean "giggle" like school girls when Buffalo comes up as a place for anyone to end up I just want to slap the p*** out of them.
That being said, I am please with the top tier of guys we having running the show and I am willing to give Gailey a chance. A fair chance to work through this.

So in trade ends one of the more baffling draft picks by a team in the last few years.
