So I know that there's this nice little rumor flying around that Travis will be traded to Tennessee for Tyrone Calico.
But was this reported before or after we drafted Roscoe Parrish? Do you see this trade going down? If so, where does Calico and Parrish fit into the equation with Evans and Moulds on the roster?

As it stands right now:
Moulds
Evans
Parrish
Smith
Aiken
I don't understand all this talk about cutting Jonathan Smith. Why would we cut a guy who produced as a rookie last year? Fast Freddie was fine. Reed and Aiken were not. I think Moulds, Evans, Parrish, and Smith are all going to be here. But i'd say that Reed and Aiken are as good as gone.
I wouldn't be surprised if TD brought in another FA WR or maybe one of the UDFA's we sign will be to good to cut. Maybe Travis does get traded for Tyrone Calico.
Bottom line, Josh Reed and Sam Aiken will not be Bills past training camp.
-
I don't understand what would have been so wrong and so shocking about TD drafting a QB in the later rounds? Especially if one the caliber of Kyle Orton was there?
Those who said Bills would go WR were chastised by many for even suggesting that they wouldn't go OL or DL. But it happened. And what about drafting McGahee with TH on the roster? You can't rule out anything with TD. He's going to draft the best available player and if we had made a trade with Philly for their 4th, Orton would have been the best player there. We wouldn't draft a QB in the first 3 rounds, but I don't think a 4th would have been out of the question.
Shane Matthews is a joke IMO and Kelly Holcomb won't be here forever. Orton could have been groomed into a career backup the likes of AVP and he has the upside and skill to be even better than that.
-
My mistake then.
But the bottom line is, do you think Kelly Holcomb in the prime of his career is going to want to sit behind a younger, franchise QB for very long while other teams that are tranitioning at their QB position would jump at the chance to sign him for a starter?
-
So trade a former probowl rb who knows the system for a 4th round rookie rb? I cant even comment on the rookie QB thing. Insurance for what? We signed Holcomb. We resigned Matthews. When have a young guy doing pretty well in NFL Europe. You want to trade Henry for a 4th round rookie QB?!? Brutal post dude, brutal.
Yes, we signed Holcomb. But for only 2 years and i'd be surprised if he stayed that long before he was at least given a chance to start for another team. Shane Matthews? He's been in and out of retirement for years and he's only a year or two younger than Brett Favre. I don't even expect him to be on the roster for the opener.
Kyle Orton is a guy who should have been gone in the 2nd round. He would be a steal in the 4th as J.P.'s answer to AVP. God forbid J.P. not work out, we have another stud young guy back there.
The trade I proposed wasn't Travis for Kyle Orton. It's Travis for TWO fourths. Kyle Orton was just the best available going into Round 4 and who knows what we'd get out of the other 4th.
Right about now we'd be lucky to get a bag of dog dung for Travis. So what's so brutal about the post?!

I feel that Jason White would make a great career back-up to J.P. Let's face it, Kelly Holcomb isn't going to stay in Buffalo and play backup for very long and Shane Matthews will probably be cut after training camp. I feel he's only here for a little while to help out.
Tyrone Calico would be a fair trade straight up for TH. I'm only listing it because it's the new hot rumor. I think it makes perfect sense. Mularkey ran a whole lot of 4 WR sets last year. Josh Reed and Sam Aiken just weren't getting the job done though. Parrish and Calico would. Parrish then could serve as PR and KR #2 as well as a deep threat.
I know we drafted Lionel Gates, but I just think that UDFA T.A. McLendon has more upside. He's also a big bruiser which is what I feel we need.

Why would you possibly want Donohoe to have traded Travis last year for a top pick when he could have, or trade him for a 4th - 5th rounder this past weekend, or trade him for anything he can get in the future? Please tell me why you would be happy with this? The player he is going to draft for TH will be just as stupid, we won't need, will not be Jonathan Ogden, will have no chance to make it in the NFL and is destined to be a bust anyway, making our team even worse than it is now. Right?
This played out pretty much as TD said it would. He and the brass put a value and a worth as they see it on Henry, and wanted something of equal value for him. No one came close to it, for the myriad of reasons already discussed, and now he's our back-up this year until someone makes an offer for what he is worth. Nothing really has changed.
I haven't been bashing TD at all. I respect him for sticking to his guns. However, I do disagree with you.
I was hoping we'd trade Travis to the Eagles for a 4th this year and a 4th next year. I thought that would be fair. There were a lot of guys in the 4th that were Blue Chippers:
Kyle Orton, QB Purdue (would have made an awesome insurance policy/backup)
Stefan LeFors, QB Louisville
Adrian McPherson, QB Florida State
Darren Sproles, RB Kansas State
Ciatrick Fason, RB Florida
Marion Barber III, RB Minnesota
Antonio Perkins, CB Oklahoma
Chris Canty, DE Virginia
Claiming that whomever we would have drafted with a 4th or a 5th is destined to be a bust is ignorrant. Try telling that to Terrence McGee......
-
LT - Trey Teague
LG - Bennie Anderson
C - Raymond Preston
RG - Chris Villarial
RT - Mike Williams
But I think that someone is going to get cut between now and the beginning of the season that we'll sign as our LT.

I was wondering if anyone knew the timetable for signing UDFA's? Is it done tommorrow and/or the day after?
Which guys would you like to see Buffalo bring in? I'd love to see them try these guys:
Jason White, QB Oklahoma
Timmy Chang, QB Hawaii
T.A. McLendon, RB North Carolina State
Walter Reyes, RB Syracuse - Signed by Titans
Tyler Jones, K Boise State - Signed by Bears
Michael Munoz, OT Tennessee - Retired
Ben Wilkerson, Center LSU
George Gause, DE South Carolina - Signed by Bills!
Will Matthews, FB Texas - Signed by Titans
Brandon Browner, CB Oregon State
Lorenzo Alexander, DT California
Jim Leonhard, FS Wisconsin - Signed by Bills!

UGH! Justin Geisinger? We need a Tackle, not a Guard.
Bennie Anderson
Chris Villarial
Lawrence Smith
Ross Tucker
Justin Bannan
Ben Sobieski
How many Guards do we need? There was guys like Michael Munoz at Tackle, T.A. McLendon at RB, and Mike Rayner at Kicker that would have been HUGE picks.
-
Darren Sproles is gone
What do you guys think of T.A. McLendon?
-
Here's a few quick points I have about yesterday:
- I really think Matt Jones was the guy that we wanted. A trade probably would have went down in the latter end of Rd 1. But since he was picked at 21 (which I thought was quite a reach) we just stayed put and grabbed the fastest WR on the board.
- I would have loved to grab an OT. I think TD missed out on trading up to grab LT Alex Barron who dropped pretty low. From there, Khalif Barnes would have been a good pick up if he fell in the 2nd; but he didn't. We have Mike Gandy and Jason Peters for depth and in my opinion, Adam Terry is not a starting tackle. So why waste the pick on him?
- I think we're going to draft a QB and a RB today (Even though Darren Sproles just got picked
). True, we re-signed Shane Matthews. But I think he's just being brought in for Training Camp to help J.P. Losman and assist Wyche in teaching Kelly Holcomb and whomever we pick our offense. I believe that we would have drafted Maurice Clarett had he been around in Round 5. TD showed interest in him and I think he was just the right type of guy we were looking for. A big, bruiser style back who could come in and give Willis a breather, who would have been a steal talent-wise, and perhaps could have played FB. But Denver's pick of him in the 3rd was insanity! Adrian McPherson would make a great pick in the 5th. - We'll draft a Center today (which we just did with "The Duke"). But after that, there's no need to draft another OL. If Michael Munoz is around in later rounds, then maybe. But there's no one else really worth it and we have enough depth at OL.
- Travis Henry IMO will be traded to another team for pick(s) in next year's draft. I don't think we'll be getting another WR. The Calico trade doesn't make much sense to me. With Moulds, Evans, and now Parrish; why would we? That means either Calico or Parrish would play WR #4. Why would we use our first pick to play 4th on the depth chart?
-
Jason Brown
Ben Wilkerson
Elton Brown
Michael Munoz
Darren Sproles
Antonio Perkins
Antaaj Hawthorne
And honestly, with the way the draft is panning out; if Kyle Orton was there at pick #4 and a number of those guys above weren't, i'd take him to be groomed into the AVP of the Bills.

UGH!
I can't stand the useless ESPN2 ticker covering up the draft ticker!
-
WE'RE DOOMED!!!!
-
This move didn't make any sense to me. When you're Detroit and you need help all over the place, why would you go for ANOTHER WR? Call me sore because we didn't do the rumored NC trade and get him like I wanted all you want!
Not to mention, they just signed Kevin Johnson the other day.
-
The talk about the skins giving us a 1st rounder for Clements seems to have died down (especially the assinine talk about them giving us TWO 1st rounders for him). However, I do see him going tomorrow. What do you think about packaging him with next years 2nd for a first round this year and trying to get a guy like Mike Williams (if we could get Washington's 9th), or a stud OG?
Yeah, I would. But only next year's 2nd, not this year's. And ONLY if Mike Williams is available.
What UDFA's would you like to see?

So far we've signed two of the guys from my list. If there is anything i've missed, like players from my list signing elsewhere; let me know!
