    Trade rumors involving Detroit's pick at #2.

    If there is any truth to these rumors, then I find it very interesting that Arizona is in the mix. What this indicates to me is that the Cardinals want T Joe Thomas or they want to get in front of Cleveland for Adrian Peterson. Which one do you think it is?

     

    The other team that was surprising is the Redskins. How in the world could they move up??!!! The only way possible to me is involving next year's 1st rder and/or player(s) being thrown in for the trade. I guess the real question is who could they possibly want? That Snyder is a maniac!

     

    Atlanta being mentioned is making me wonder if they are indeed interested if they are looking to move out or eventually replace Vick. Trading for the second overall sure would seem that it's a QB that they want.

     

    There is one common denominator in all three scenarios that could be the reason. I'm afraid to say but is Adrian Peterson going to turn the top of the pecking order inside out? If so, what would the ripple effect mean to us?

    Marshawn Lynch met with the Bills today.

    This is my favorite part of the article:

     

    "He's as talented as any offensive player I've been around," says Cal coach Jeff Tedford, who has coached many NFL first-rounders, including Aaron Rodgers, Trent Dilfer, David Carr, Akili Smith, Joey Harrington and Kyle Boller. "He's so natural in doing it all. He's fast, strong, has great balance; he can catch; and he has a great feel for the game in all phases. He's so natural and explosive as an athlete."

     

    C'mon now, what was the author thinking!

     

     

    No, my favorite part was "I was innocent..."

    LB Edgerton Hartwell would make a nice one year

    I sure hope Marv doesn't over react with our positions of need at LB, RB and CB. I don't think that he will and I believe that there is alot of solutions still available for us to fulfill these needs. Players like Hartwell and Michael Bush will allow us to keep our draft intact without destroying it by overpaying with draft picks for RFAs. We have multiple needs and good draft pick positions. I don't think that we are that far from being a very competitive team. By filling areas of need with what's available to us in the draft, free agency and June 1st cuts should position us for the play-offs without mortgaging our future.

    We should bring him in for a visit, it can't hurt our cause.

    I am starting to think you are correct, and this would be a serious error in judgement IMO.

     

    The run defense of this team is not going to improve from 28'th in the league, giving up

    140 yards / game, to even anywhere near the middle of the pack adding one FA to the mix.

     

    Signing Tim Anderson was also a good indication, and a bad move I think.

     

    I'm in total agreement with you on us still needing a runstuffer in the middle of our defense. Here's what I think would be ideal if it could happen.

     

    We swap our 1st rd pick with San Diego and maybe a future pick in compensation (the 2008 3rder that we got from Baltimore?) for Turner. Picking at #30 we take Tennessee's DT Justin Harrell. He's been talked about being selected as high as #23 by KC. I don't think this happens now because they just lost G Will Shields to retirement and they also re-signed DT James Reed, so an O-Lineman should take their first pick. The Saints are potential suitor for Harrell but if slides past these two teams then the Colts will be all over him at #32.

     

    Now with our 2nd and our two 3rd picks we address the the LB and CB positions. I'll take a guess at this point what names to put in these rds but I do think that the LB(s) that Marv is going to draft are going to surprise many people. People are looking for him to aquire the likes of Willis and Poz and I don't think this will be the case. I'm expecting names like Justin Durant, Buster Davis, Brandon Siler, Quincy Black and Tim Shaw to be on our roster when the 2nd and 3rd rds end. These players are well within our picks and I think that we will get two of them and still use one these three picks for a CB/S type DB back.

     

    To me this would a fantastic draft and our biggest needs would be addressed.

    Everything that Marv stated has either came to fruitation or looks like it will. In breaking down some of his statements I found Marv to being very upfront.

     

    The remarks about one or two RFAs leads me to believe that Turner was one of the two. If there is to be another one I wonder if that would be a LB. It doesn't look like there will be though due to free agency nearing an end.

     

    I found it interesting that the O-Line and the run defense weren't mentioned as draft options and so far that proved to be accurate with at least the O-Line. This appears to be fulfilled by free agency, which Marv also stated that off the top of his head we would probably be signing somewheres around 4 FAs. I think that we are up to 3 so far, right? Sounds like Marv expects the players that we got already to start performing on the run defense. Other than aquiring Walker, it doesn't appear that we'll be getting anymore D-Linemen.

     

    At the right spot WR will be addressed and that sounds to me to be like a second day decision, also a 3rd string QB too. Assuming that we do use our 4th rder for WR, what kind of QB could we get with a 6th or 7th rd pick? Yikes!

     

    So, I guess that this draft will be predominately geared towards LBs, a CB or two and a RB. It's not surprising, it's nothing that hasn't been hammered on this board for the last few months.

     

    One last note. What a difference between Marv and Donahoe in discussing what are needs are and what we'll be looking to address. Day and night, huh?

    Rumor has it that the Eagles are shopping RB Ryan Moats.

    back to the drawing board??? you creating your own rumors? ^_^:D

     

    Rumors?? What are you talking about? I asked for some input on a RB to see if he would be a good addition. I'm just trying to figure out, like everybody else, what we are going to do or add at the RB position. I thought at one time that we were going to get Chris Brown, hoped to get Turner and now it looks like it will be coming from the draft. I guess that when I said back to the drawing board it's in reference to trying to figure out who we will be drafting because that looks to be really the only valid solution at this point.

    I really think we have enougt DTs on the roster. We have much more glaring needs.

     

    Although it seems that we have plenty of DTs we are really not complete at this position. Converting this position from a weakness to a strength would compensate us in other areas of our defense. When you can crush a pocket and stuff the run it would allow us more of a cushion at the linebacker and secondary positions. I don't feel that we are weak at these other positions, it's just that we don't have depth. If we have a monster front D-Line then you'll see a big difference in this defense right away.

    Nice article on Bills site about UB Football and the Bills

    It's nice to see the community's team staffs looking out for each other. I like that we take care of our own. When one of our professional sport teams wins it all the rest of the nation is going to see what western New York and it's fans are all about.

     

    I have to say, when Syracuse won the national championship and Derrick Coleman was instantly on the phone with Boeheim trying to celebrate with him and for him, it gave me a deep gratification that our people/players are waiting, expecting and not forgetting what this region means to them.

     

    I can recall several memorable stories of past athletes of ours who are forever loyal and dedicated to our fans and our region. Darryl Talley's full page good-bye in the newspaper to Don Bebee thinking about how much he would like for the Bills and it's fans to experience the feeling of winning a Super Bowl right after he did it as a member of Green Bay. There is so many more stories to mention but I probably already said too much.

     

    We're coming up on another season and I just want to say, hang in there, our time will come and when it does it will be SWEET! Go Bills! Go Sabres!

    If we don't take a player at #12, then I would love to see us trade back a few slots, pick up aditional pick(s) and take Harrell with our first pick. He'd be a great addition with the rest of our DTs and DEs for years to come.

    Trading for extra picks will allow us more chances at LB. We can also take a RB in the 3rd rd if need be. I like this type of player and would like to have him on our team.
