  1. I would not be shocked if the Bills trade down - but I don't think they'll pick a DT if they do. I continue to be convinced that they will surprise us by taking one of the following:

     

    1) Ernie Sims (fits the Derrick Brooks mold for the cover-2 defense)

    2) Jay Cutler (dunno why, just a deep-seated fear that Marv will pull the trigger if he's there and take him)

    3) Jimmy Williams (supposed to be one of the best pure athletes in the draft - Deion Sanders-type ability - also one of the biggest a-holes in the entire draft class)

  2. I think that is a great idea, and not out of the realm of possibilities. Rumors have the Ravens very interested in Ngata, especially after Ray Lewis' whinning on ESPN about not having big DTs in front of him.

     

    If Ngata is available at 8, we should shop the pick to the Ravens for their 2nd, or most likely, 3rd.

    Sure. Why don't we keep trading down until we own all of the picks in the seventh round? 32 (more?) "instant camp-fodder" players.

  3. I don't know why. I'm a big Marv fan, as I've said, I think getting rid of Donahoe - his ego, his decision-making, and his abrasive management style - has to be a net gain for the organization.

     

    That said, I'm all of a sudden freaking out about draft weekend. For no good reason that I can pinpoint, I'm now convinced that the Bills are going to do something stupid and unexpected on Saturday, like trading down a few picks and then taking Cutler. I dunno why, I just get this eerie feeling that, come Monday, the Bills will be the absolute laughingstock of the League for a piss-poor draft performance. Again, I have NO GOOD REASON, NOR ANY GOOD SENSE. I know I need to shake this feeling, but I can't. Anyone else having similar premonitions? If not, care to talk me off the ledge?

  4. Fits with what we know about TD's and Marv's management styles. TD was rumored to be secretive, manipulative, micromanaging, and intimidating. Marv is thought to be more open, honest, and collaborative. As I've said before, hopefully this is addition by subtraction - the effect on morale and performance of removing someone like Donahoe from the organization should not be underestimated.

    One team in need of safety help interested in Smith is Buffalo. The Bills released veteran Lawyer Milloy, and he signed with Atlanta. That leaves Coy Wire and Matt Bowen battling to fill his job. They're not exactly the two swiftest players, so Smith, who runs better than both of those players, makes sense. Smith played well for the Saints last year, his first with the team. He can tackle, and as a former corner, he has quality cover skills. Getting him would be a good move for the Bills.

  6. I don't know who you mean by "we", but Buffalo has its politicians to thank and no one else. The corrupt political elite that has run the City and County for the last 20+ years have drained the wealth out of the area by raising taxes in order to make good on promises to unions that never should have been made, all the while driving out more and more businesses.

  7. For the record, aside from Wahle, last year's FA guard crop was horrible. The guy the Bills really wanted - DeMulling - was paid a lot more than Bennie by the Lions, and almost lost his starting job several times during the season.

  8. Whats so wrong with the signing?

    Lemme see...

     

    1) he's very unlikely to make the team;

     

    2) if he does make the team, it means we're in even worse shape than we thought;

     

    3) it means we're probably not making a play for Javon Walker;

     

    4) it means we're probably not drafting a WR on Day 1 to replace Moulds;

     

    5) it shows a lack of patience, because other, younger WRs who actually have, I dunno, UPSIDE, may still enter the free agent market (Charles Rogers),

     

    6) anyone who has seen PP play the last few years knows he no longer gets separation and has lost his deep speed (WRs near or over 30 almost never "rediscover" speed - Galloway may be an exception);

     

    7) it means that, of the 9 receivers on the Bills roster, and the 3-4 tight ends, the Bills still have NO ONE who will go over the middle to catch passes (I said "catch" Josh Reed).

     

    Other than that, nothing, nothing's wrong with it. FUG.
