http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/sub/mockdraft.html Ouch! That's pretty much the top Mock site on the web and the place I go to all the time. With Dwayne Jarrett, Marshawn Lynch, Paul Poluszny, and others still on the board; they have us taking...... JaMarcus Russell, QB LSU

http://www.buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=4465 ^ That's a really good read. A lot of that stuff I already noticed though. The guy is SO passionate it's ridiculous! He is constantly going wild and pumping the fans and his team up. It's absolutely refreshing and something I think this team was desperately missing. While he's new and may not be making a lot of tackles or sacks, it seems as if he's been bringing leadership, direction, and passion to fans and teammates. He also seems to be getting better every weekend. I'd give up a 5th any day to have this guy. I'm glad he's a Bill.

Sadly, no. But if he does go CB it had better be Leon Hall. I don't want him to reach for some guy whose a lower grade talent because he likes his character or how he watches film. I'm leaning towards offensive firepower myself. The past few games the defense and offensive lines have looked phenomenal. But nothings getting done on offense. But I could definitely see Paul Poluszny in Bills blue and you wouldn't hear me complaining one bit!

lol I hear ya on the Texas thing. But honestly, I don't know if going OL is the way to go with our 1st pick anymore. The past few games the OL has REALLY come on well (and against very good D-Lines). J.P. has been getting a LOT of time to pass. I don't know if we should blow up the line. They seem to be getting some chemistry. I think our problem is lack of firepower. Outside of Lee Evans (who is blanketed every game) we really don't have much. Price makes an occasional play and Parrish isn't an every down WR. McGahee is't consistent and next year's the last year on his contract. Don't be shocked to see a RB or WR. Especially with elite talents like Dwayne Jarrett and Marshawn Lynch most likely available when we pick.

This is going to be a helluva draft. I like the prospects a lot more than 2006's superstar draft. There will definitely be some late risers (ala Jay Cutler). Both QB's on the bottom of my list are guys I project to be late risers. Most people write off Troy Smith as a top pick because of his height (around 5'11"). But I think after he wins the Heisman on Saturday and if he has a decent Championship game, he'll get the Vince Young treatment. JaMarcus Russell is unquestionably the top Jr. QB prospect (especially since Louisville QB Brian Brohm decided to stay in school). When scouts get a gander at his size and rocket arm, they'll start drooling around February and he'll fly up the charts. Although, I have to disagree with your signature. Levi Brown and Sam Baker are two guys I DEFINITELY don't want us to pick. I don't think Baker will come out. Especially if Long does. He was dreadful in the UCLA game and he has never really impressed me. Brown is another guy that is pretty overrated in my opinion. He's a RT prospect who is a hit or miss guy. If he doesn't work at RT, you're pretty much screwed. I like Justin Blalock better than both of those players. Blalock is a natural OG with the size and athleticism to be put anywhere on the line.

Thanks for the heads up on Ronnie. CJ and Thomas are guaranteed to both be gone by the time we pick (save a trade up). Long should be there though. Yeah, other than the QB's that's probably the last guy on the list i'd want. But if we don't get Nate back and we can't get Asante Samuel or another viable veteran we may have to go secondary again. Especially with the unfortunate circumstances surrounding what happened with Ashton Youboty's rookie season. God knows what we have there. With the exception of the Ohio State game, Leon Hall has looked superb all year. He's unquestionably the top CB.

I don't know how it's even a remote possibility you could have mistaken that as a pic of RJ.

http://www.nfldraftforecast.com/draft/order.shtml As much as I loved the streak we were on, I think we'll be damn lucky to win two of the next four games. 1.) New York Jets on the Road: The Jets are on a helluva roll right now. They're 7-5 and are running on all cylinders. They annhilated Brett and the Packers last week on the road. They know that their last 4 games are against teams under .500. They smell the playoffs. 2.) Miami Dolphins at Home: This is probably the best chance we have at a win and I expect them to pull it out. But it won't be as easy as we thought it would be. Joey Harrington is emerging as their QB and Ronnie Brown is a terror on the ground. 3.) Tennessee Titans at Home: Wow, this kid thinks he's back in Texas. And their RB is running better than he ever did in Buffalo. He'll have a little more steam in his step returning to the Ralph. By the way, they just handed Peyton only his 2nd loss of the season. 4.) Baltimore Ravens on the Road: This game looked like it was going to be the Bills starters against the Ravens reserves. Unfortunately, after the Ravens loss to the Bengals and what seems like a million AFC teams driving for a playoff berth; Baltimore will be playing for something. NOW you'll notice that Buffalo is currently sitting at 14. But what a lot of people haven't noticed is that this year is different than the last couple years in that most teams are winning more. So there isn't a whole lot seperating the teams. As a matter of fact, the difference between Buffalo picking at 14 and Houston picking at 5 is one win! Last year we picked at 8 with a record of 5-11. This year's 8 could be someone with a record of 6-10 or 7-9. Another thing to look at is the playoff picture. 12 teams make it to the playoffs every year. With Buffalo not making it, they won't be picking any lower than 20. But again, with the way the AFC is playing out; teams with a record of 10-6 or 9-7 will just barely miss. So it's pretty much impossible that we'll be picking at the higher end of 15. I predict we finish the season 7-9 (although 6-10 is a DEFINITE possibility) and will be picking at 10 or 11. With that said, here's a look at the top 13 players, in no particular order (Jr's included are pretty much locks to come out): Brady Quinn, QB Notre Dame Joe Thomas, OT Wisconsin Calvin Johnson, WR Georgia Tech (Jr.) Adrian Peterson, RB Oklahoma (Jr.) Ted Ginn Jr., WR Ohio State (Jr.) Dwayne Jarrett, WR USC (Jr.) Marshawn Lynch, RB California (Jr.) Alan Branch, DT Michigan (Jr.) Paul Poluzsny, LB Penn State Gaines Adams, DE Clemson Jake Long, OT Michigan (Jr.) Leon Hall, CB Michigan Troy Smith, QB Ohio State (or) JaMarcus Russell, QB LSU (Jr.) [One or both will be a top pick] Now with the exception of the QB's (I pray J.P. is the guy), I would kill to have any of those guys. And with the way things are playing out, we will EDIT: Here's a pic I found that someone made of Dwayne Jarrett. I really can't argue with that thought: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f212/ste...rrett_bills.jpg

He's gone in the first 3.

Really? The way I see it, 20 teams don't make the playoffs. So we DEFINITELY won't be picking any lower than 20. This year with the way the AFC is playing out there's going to be a handful of teams with 9-7 or 10-6 records that won't get into the postseason. Buffalo's last 4 games are FAR from easy. We're going into the Meadowlands where they are on one helluva roll. Then we have the Dolphins at home who have started to get it together (although this is probably the game we have the best chance in). Then it's the red hot Titans with Vince Young coming off of wins against both Mannings and then the Ravens in Baltimore who will probably still be playing for something after their loss this week. We'll be lucky to walk away with two of those games. If you think we're picking after 15, you've got some dreams. It would be nice, but I don't see it. Of that list (which I outright stated a lot would be gone by), you'll notice no QB's, CB's, or S's. Brady Quinn will most likely be the top pick and he wasn't included. Michigan CB Leon Hall as well. If you think that by the time we pick 3 teams will be taking WR's, 2 teams will be taking a RB, 2 teams will be taking an OT, and the rest of the players will go before us you're sadly mistaken. Some of the people on that list are slated to go when we pick and you never know who will fall. And again, I didn't include all of the top prospects. I guarantee at least two of those players will still be there when we pick.

I see us winning two of the final 4 games, bringing us to 7-9. The top 20 picks will be reserved for teams that didn't make the playoffs. There will be more than 3 teams ranked ahead of us. While I don't think we'll have a top 10 pick, I don't think we'll be picking as low as 17. Even so, I don't think that Calvin Johnson, Ted Ginn Jr., and Dwayne Jarrett will all be picked by the time we pick. I'd rank each of them above Notre Dame's Great White Shark. The TE Miller isn't worthy of that high of a pick. I don't know that OG Blaylock is either. If we traded down, I could see one of them. But I think there will be better players available then them when we pick. DeMarcus Tyler is interesting, but I think we have enough young DT's (drafting two in last years draft). I think DT will be addressed with a veteran. It looks like you're running off of a list of seniors as well. There will be a LOT of Juniors coming out like every year. It's my belief that one or more of the following will be available when we pick and should be taken (some of which will DEFINITELY be gone, but you never know who will fall for what reasons): Joe Thomas, OT Wisconsin Jake Long, OT Michigan (Jr.) Calvin Johnson, WR Georgia Tech (Jr.) Ted Ginn Jr., WR Ohio State (Jr.) Dwayne Jarrett, WR USC (Jr.) Adrian Peterson, RB Oklahoma (Jr.) Marshawn Lynch, RB California (Jr.) Alan Branch, DT Michigan (Exception to the rule because he is AWESOME) Paul Poluzsny, LB Penn State Gaines Adams, DE Clemson I'd rank all of those players above the players you have on this poll.

I don't think anyone will argue that Willis had a good game. However, his dancing and patience paid off in big dividends last week (and not just the 30 yard TD). With the exception of the last two games, he was running hard and forward like he was A-Train all season. There will be weeks when you can't run and you run into guys like Jamal Williams. That's going to happen.

http://buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=4438 He sure sounds like a piece of crap to me

I respect everything that Travis did for us. However, i'm simply pointing out how asinine it is that Willis' character has come under fire more than any other Bill (or Bills RB) in recent history when that's the type of character we had before.

I like Jarrett and the idea of picking a big WR. But I don't know if the organization would be ready to throw the towel in at the $10 million investment of Peerless Price so soon. I also know that Lee Evans is our #1 and that Roscoe Parrish should be no lower than #3 on the chart. But I don't think we'll be picking that high anymore

Amen brother! I was just about to make a similiar post before I noticed yours. First off, the guy had 3 broken ribs. The timetable for an injury like that was 6 weeks (and don't talk to me about Travis because his injuries weren't as servere) and he came back after only missing two games? Are you kidding?! One of the first things I noticed from Section 244 yesterday was him running across the field before kickoff to join in prayer with Shaud Williams. The next thing that struck me was how well he was blocking for Losman yesterday (there was in particular that was awesome, but I can't remember when it happened). But off of those injuries the guy played like a madman. His two TD's were beautiful. His first one was probably even more impressive but won't get as much cred because it was only a few yards. But he really made a lot of impressive cuts. Not only that but he dove in the end zone chest and ribs first to ensure he crossed the plane both times. I know if I had broken ribs, I sure as hell wouldn't be diving chest first! And his comments after the game?: "I just couldn't sit another game. Two games were too much. We're winning. I'm just glad to be a part of it again". Anyone who wants to say that he runs with no heart or is selfish can kiss my ass! As for A-Train, I think Willis would have done better than Thomas against Indy and certainly better than him in Houston! So what he came from the "U"? So what he has said some stupid things sometimes? Save the talk of "he doesn't want to play here" until he provides us with proof of that. Right now the man IS a Buffalo Bill and i'm damn proud that he is. But I suppose he'll never be a true Buffalo Bill like the statuatory rapeing, marijuna smoking; Travis Henry.

http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/ATL/9830458 While I didn't watch the game or know for sure what happened, but it sounds like he pulled a Brian Cox to his own fans. Way to go Ron

What games have you been watching this year? Before his injury, Willis was running harder than i've ever seen him run. Anyone who thinks the A-Train is a better back is ridiculous. I understand Willis is from "The U" and comes off a little dickish. But some of you need to look past that to his talent. I GUARANTEE that Willis would have done a whole helluva lot better than 56 yards in 19 carries against Houston. I'm even more positive that he would have put better than 108 against Indy if he was force fed the ball 28 times against the worst run D in the NFL.

http://buffalobills.com/blog/index.jsp?blogger_id=1 SELLOUT STREAK: It looks like you'll have to be at the Ralph on Sunday if you want to see Buffalo's big AFC matchup against the Jags on Sunday. With 7,000 tickets remaining it looks like the sellout streak dating back to the Oct. 31 game against Arizona in 2004 will come to an end this weekend and the game will be blacked out on TV. The Bills have sold out 27 of the last 28 home games.

I'd go for Vonnie Holliday. He's getting up there in age, but he hasn't shown much signs of decline. He'd bring some veteran power in the middle alongside Tripplett and would give McCargo and Williams a year or two to mature.

Yeah..... I sort of cringed when I saw that. I realize they've put the World Title on Sting. I realize they've stolen Christian and Kurt Angle. I realize they've gotten themselves a primetime cable spot. But I think they're pushing their luck calling out the WWE this early. But I love 'em anyways

^ I suppose you're right. I'm kinda biased because i'm more into TNA, ROH, and Japanese Wrestling than WWE these days. But i'm glad that Monty's onto the big show. He seems pretty happy about it too. They just put up a new article about him: http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/montybrownspeaks

Oh wow, that's a good idea! I bet they do that. I'm guessing they'll put him on "Smackdown!". They have a lack of talent and could use a new exciting player. If you put him in ECW, it would take away from the newly acquired Bobby Lashley and of course my personal favorite wrestler, CM Punk.

http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/3694976 Very interesting that they list him as "Monty Brown of the Buffalo Bills" showing pictures of him playing as a Bill rather than "The Alpha Male" of TNA. But I guess that would just be Vince refusing to acknowledge TNA once more

1st and Goal? Run, Run, Run, FG? That's not going to beat the Colts. Way to show your confidence in Losman (Regardless of my avatar, I want to see Losman get out of his funk and earn this job)
