You know what would make this team stronger? Trading away our best d-lineman. That's the ticket!

+1 Coach Tuesday's analysis is terrible. The inside of our line is set and it's a darn good one too if Wood can return to form. We are very weak at T. Nonetheless, a trade a a legitimate starter turns what would have been a below average starter (Bell/Wang) into a pretty decent backup. The OL is 2 players away from being a strength. 1 player away from being respectable.

Ridiculous. I'm so sick of asinine comments like this one. The draft is just one of 3 ways to add someone to your team- 1) Free Agency 2) Trades 3) The Draft. Rookies are unproven commodities, but we get so excited about them because we hope somehow they can become all pros at their position. Gaither is a pro bowler. At best, our second rd draft pick would be the 33rd ROOKIE taken next year. Your position is that Gaither, who has proven he can be a dominant left tackle, is worth less then the OPPORTUNITY to draft the 33rd best player available in the draft? Gaither has shown he can be a top 8 tackle in this league. There is no guarantee that ANY of the tackles available next year could be that good, let alone one taken in the 2nd round.

The man is a wordsmith. A true inspiration to today's youth and a shining beacon of what a college education can do for you.

We could have a shot at the playoffs! I mean we don't really have NFL players now, so our team could return intact! The question is, could this year's Bills beat the UFL champs?

Just to temper Schefter's tweet. All he says is: "NFL sources still expect Ravens OT Jared Gaither to be traded before season and Bills are most likely destination - they want him." This is the same kind of talk that had us all thinking we would take Claussen at 9.

Only 1st and second year players are allowed to attend. It's right there in the article.

That's what most of these guys do. Seems about par for the course. Interesting that when touted acquisitions like Adalius Thomas don't pan out, the same writers who slammed us for not getting them ignore the issue entirely.

The kid seems like a really hard worker. Whether he sinks or swims is probably up to our O-line coaches because I have no doubt he is going to bust his butt making any adjustments they instruct him to.

Can we ban that moron for screwing up a good thing? Tim's opinions are one of the main things that brought me back to this site after a lengthy layoff. He will be missed. The incoherent ramblings of a buffoon on the other hand, will not.

Orlando Pace. From 5 years ago.

M&T Bank Stadium in baltimore is a great venue. You really can't get a bad seat. I got top level seats when ND played Navy there and I wasn't disappointed in visibility whatsoever. I'm going to try to go to that one to!

Chris Brown is that guy from high school who wanted to hang out with the football guys so much that he "joined" the team by becoming the equipment manager. Nobody on the team talks to him, but he gets to tell his friend the lunch lady how him and the guys have to go on a road trip or stay late for practice.

I knew it was just a matter of time before someone suggested this insanity. Terrible

Who do we have at LB? OLB Moats Maybin Ellison (who is too small to play OLB in a 3-4 but too weak to play ILB) Kelsay Schoebel ILB Batten Pos Mitchell That's what I can come up with

I also like how he irresponsibly reported we were "heartbroken" about not getting Tebow. Nix comes out and flat out calls that incorrect and nothing from Schefter. I have been harassing him on twitter ever since to make a retraction. The one thing I hate about ESPN is they claim to be journalists, but in reality they hold themselves to no code of journalistic conduct. You are wrong about something you print a retraction.

WE FIRED OUR OC AND LT ON THE EVE OF THE SEASON!!! Then we played pop warner football all year and started how many different players on the OL? The kid never had a chance. Jauron is the devil and he tanked last season completely.

I don't get it. The guy produces. Who the hell care about measurables when he plays fast? Rice's measurables were not great and turned out to be pretty good. This kid will make the roster and contribute on ST.

There are 2 other threads on this

exactly! +1

+! McShay and Kiper know they sit on a throne of lies. Their entire job consists of picking up info on 3 round and later talent from secondary sources and watching tape on frontrunners. Most of their "opinions" are based on second handed information. They could never admit they were ignorant of anything

Nix said we're done adding QBs. Get used to it

Excellent contribution. Whining without any proposals. You should work for the government.

+1 We got better on special teams too. As for draft grades, I think Charles Davis summed it up best when he saw Chavous give us an A and he didn't fight him on it. Instead, he said "I think that means I need to go back and watch some more tape." There is no way we were even close to making a playoff run with the roster we had coming into this. Seeing our picks and watching the pressers makes it obvious we are in the first year of what is most likely a 3 year plan to put us in contention for anything. Reaching for OL or drafting a QB you don't rate highly are desperation moves and we've been drafting like that for 10 years. I went into the day upset with the FO, but came out of it encouraged that we are taking the right steps to field a solid team. That being said, we will draft around 12-13 next year.

Probably because we didnt draft high risk players like Maybin and expect our "amazing" coaching staff to turn them into solid players
