I would LOVE to get shaw at 3

I don't really think we learned much from the press conference other than: we will use our TEs at FB, they have not ruled out drafting a WR early and we really need help at LB. Not knocking you at all, i just don't think you can read too much into the press conference.

and when the RBs break through the line who exactly is supposed to tackle them in order to imprive out 28th ranked D against the run, Coy Wire? We need 2 playmaking LBs and a RB before we even think about drafting D line on the first day.

Leonard is a 2nd rd pick

We HAVE to see if our 1st rder from last year actually contributes to the team when given a real chance. You can't give up on McCargo before giving the coaches and the front office a chance to see if their pick actually works out.

I thought they had to get caught while in the NFL. It would seem putting someone in Stage II for behavior prior to getting drafting would be wrongfully discriminating against people who have made past mistakes. It leads to questions of where to draw the line... how far back to we go? Is a HS pot bust the same as a freshman year in college incident? For that matter how do we say a Freshman year incident isn't as bad as a Senior year failed test?

Anderson was the result of a mistaken decision the Bills front office made to have a D comprised entirely of OSU players

Some people eat bugs....ew!

2003 you're a great poster and do an excellent job at creating fun posts, keep it up

He's right. This thread is laughable

Wrong. They were not under a signed contract to play for the Bills. The Bills had an exclusive RIGHT to tender an offer with a right of first refusal on to match all other offers. A tender is not a contract. These players were not under contract until today, when they SIGNED their tendered offers and became Bills again. Hence, they were re-signed.

I agree with the above. Unfortunately, I think we are counting on this weak draft to produce at least 3 starters (RB, LB, FB). Trading a 2 and 3 for a proven RB wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. We could still grab Willis or Pos to start, fill our RB need and draft CB like Hughes in the 3rd for depth. That being said, we are counting on our own guys improving a LOT if we ever hope to get out of the cellar in our division. Then again, last year everyone wanted to draft a QB (I know I did) and Losman seemed to come into his own. Hopefully guys like Ellison, Youboty, McCargo and our 2 S's can step up in a big way.

The guy was just making observations! I doubt nemhoff is suggesting we draft the "dreamiest" player available

Just cause a player doesn't have a 1st rd grade doesn't mean they're a scrub. There are plenty of starters to be found in later rounds.

Falling: Branch, Ginn Rising: Pos, Okoye

Love it, pure class. Didn'tTalley do the same thing when he left Buffalo?

I echo your sentiment about the kid in the candy store but my mock v.1.0 goes: 1- Paul Poslunsky 2- Antonio Pittman 3- Buster Davis 3- Daymeion Hughes 4- Rhema McKnight

Yeah, wow. All I can say is my prayers are with all those students' poor families. This whole thing has me completely in shock.

If we got a good LB at 12 I'd rather trade our 2nd and a conditional 2-4 next year for Turner if that's possible. Lynch and Peterson have potential, but Turner is a proven commodity at the pro level.

Ditto to both of you. I can't believe what happened at VT today.

I know everyone thinks Ricky is weird but he seems to have gotten his issues sorted out. That being said, we are looking for high character, SELF MOTIVATED guys. The second part seems like a problem to me. I saw that interview he did with Terrell Davis (for HBO I think) and he said playing again was a test for him to see how he could handle the pressure. I dunno how much passion "I wanna see how I handle the pressure" brings.

With the schedule we have we could very likely go 1-5 or 2-4 in the first 6 games. I hope we turn it up the second half of the season and pick up at least 8 wins.

Just to clarify, I meant I haven't heard any talk about bringing in a veteran. I do see us picking a QB up in the draft with a late pick.

Johnson or Russell, leaning towards Russell

Yeah Gates was a high character guy, we all know how much beating women says about your good character
