And what about the 14 other teams that have made their picks in the first few minutes as well...i guess they don't have "savvy" GMs either. Just admit that you were excited to B word and whine like a 14 yr old girl about anything and everything the Bills were going to do tonight.

Well, talent wins in the NFL, and tebag has none of that.

Eben Britton, Phil Loadholt, and Sebastian Vollmer say hi. And thats just from last year's draft. There are always quality OL available in round 2. Usually better value than round 1.

When you constantly trade picks and never actually make any selections, the picks become worthless. There's also a point of diminishing returns when you continually trade down.

Bill, try and remember that the draft is longer than round 1. Because i am predicting you freak the !@#$ out when we don't pick an OT at #9.

I still think that Jack and Sawyer and going to end up on the beach, just like Jacob and MiB were, with the former taking over the latters' roles. Either that or Lapidus is the real MiB.

One important fact about this new deal...ESPN isn't in on the broadcasting rights. That cannot said enough. I'm with the guys that the play-in games should be for a 11 or 12 seed from the "last 8 in" compromising all at-large bids. To me, automatic bids should go directly into the field of 64.

Wow. They predict some trades will occur? Way to go out on a limb, guys.

There's a lot of people here in 'nole country who share the sentiment. (and i'm with you) The NCAA is nothing but a bunch of crooks. The local radio guy down here has done the hypothetical situation where a big name school could easily decide to eave the NCAA, pay players a $10k stipend per season, set their own schedule, negotiate their own TV rights, land even host their own end-of-the-season game.

Winning destroys the franchise.

Cam Thomas may not make it to #41. The Chargers pick ahead of us in round 2, and Terrence Cody will go late in round 1.

So, what exactly does "value" get you. Take all the players out of the equation. How many wins can be attributed to value? None. Draft value never won a team anything.

So does everyone on Boise St! We need to draft their entire team!

Since the Bills selections in the TBD mock draft are made via poll, and the draft is starting tomorrow, i wanted to get this out there. In the event that Suh and McCoy go 1 and 2 in the mock draft, the Buccs are offering the #3 spot in a trade. The Bills could then snag Bradford or Okung. In exchange for trading up from #9 to #3, the Buccs are asking for the #41 pick and a 2011 2nd rounder. There would also probably be some late round picks involved in the swap, but there's no point in getting into tedious details for a 3 round mock draft. So here's the offer (contingent on Suh and McCoy going 1-2) 1. Tampa Bay receives #9, #41, and 2011 2nd round pick 2. Buffalo receives #3 with the chance to take Bradford or Okung.

I'll take the Buccs.

I'm in, as usual.

A solid line all the way across is much more important that having a big marquee LT. The Bills desperately need to upgrade both the tackle spots, but it isn't necessary to spend the #9 on one. Along the OL, there's always great value in late round 1 and round 2.

I've used Travelocity and Orbitz numerous times without any problems. Recently, newer sites such as kayak.com have popped up. I haven't tried that one yet. And don't be afraid to check out the individual airline websites as well. I've flown plenty of times where those fares are cheaper than the fares on a "travel" website.

The center ice website says it has the regular season games and then "select" games form the first and second round of the playoffs. I'm guessing they'll carry all the games not on VS/NBC.

This thing just doesn't end, does it?

Remember, most people on here think anyone less than 300lbs is a "wasted" draft pick for the Bills.

I fail to see why so many people are so high on a WR who cannot, nor has not ever been asked to run pass routes. Ga Tech's option offense called for Thomas to either run block or run a fly pattern.

:wallbash:

I've been wondering, whats the thoughts on FSU's QB Christian Ponder outside of the southeast, and specifically, outside of Tallahassee. Ponder should, and probably will be mentioned as a possible heisman candidate. Down here we obviously get see to see Ponder week in and week out, but i'm wondering what are the views on him outside of here around the rest of the country. Is Ponder viewed for as good as he is, or is he not really noticed due to the team's (defense's) failures and his lack of gaudy TD numbers?

I dont think you can make a contingency like that, but any team trading for someone in McNabb's situation is going to want to re-sign him. Therefore, they will want to talk to him and hammer out a deal prior to any trade being agreed upon, and Philly really has no choice but to let them negotiate. Unless you're the redskins.
