    I'm happy with Watkins (obviously), but if Whaley REALLY knew what he was doing, he would have traded the 2015 1st pick to get an extra first pick in the 2014 draft (the deep draft, that everyone was saying had a wealth of "1st round talent, available in the 2nd").

     

    I won't mention Odell Beckham...

     

    Poppycock. Watkins is a star and he had a great season with a never-was throwing to him; OBJ had Eli Manning. While OBJ is certainly a good receiver, we haven't even scratched Watkins' surface. The Bills hadn't had a legit #1 receiver since Moulds and though I wish we could have given up less, it was clear this draft was weaker than last year's and they had a shot at: 1- a legit star #1 receiver; 2- a young player who called the Bills his favorite team growing up, which meant/means a LOT to the area/market. I would do this trade over even with the benefit of hindsight. Not to mention the fact that you cannot simply trade a 1 in a later year for a 1 in the current year- it is well established that there is a 1 rd depreciation in trades for future picks (1st rd next year = 2nd rd this year).

    That's the one thing I don't like about Whaley. He puts what makes him look good ahead of what's best for the team sometimes. I suspect that was the root of many of the Marrone problems.

     

    He traded a 4th rd pick for a player. That player therefore represents our 4th rd pick. HOW is this putting "what makes him look good ahead of what's best for the team"? Marrone apologists really have to STRETCH in order to try and make a point now, huh?

  3. Playing the Colts is a nice prove it game. we get the Home field fans who will be rabid to say the least.

    I expect a win. and once it gets rolling. It also may take awhile to teams to figure out our NEW offense with the Roman coaching and these impact players we just scored.

    Sky is the limit right now.

    I really cant see any losses yet.

    But if we come out struggling against Colts or Pats, i will begin to be

    concerned

    Love your new avatar !!

     

    Haha, the Dayman thanks you

    Marpet held his own and did well in the Senior Bowl. I think he'll be fine at the next level but I doubt that he'll last til the 3rd

     

    The issue is you're basically grading him based on ONE game. I don't want to draft some kid based on the underwear olympics and one game. He played T in college and projects to G/C. You're making several assumptions if you believe he's likely to be a difference-maker in the pros.

  5. So let me get this straight......

     

    The bills go out and get the 3rd best RB in the league in the offseason

     

    And we are bitching about Fred Jackson.....pretty much the heart of the team......and his whatever carries he might get behind McCoy?

     

    This is a NON issue here.......
