If Pettine likes Johnson than trading up for Watkins could make sense. Greg Little doesn't cut it as far as a #2 WR goes.

Hopefully the Lions blink first and tries to trade up in front of the Bills for Ebron. Now that Jim Caldwell is the HC you can expect them to try and find the next Dallas Clark for that offense. The rumored Sammy Watkins trade up only confirms that they, the Lions, are more than willing to be offense minded with their first pick.

Whoever this Bills' secretary is, she's killing us! First this and then putting those 2 teenagers through to the GM in the BuddyGate is just too much! Lol!

Otherwise I don't see how the Bills could be in position to draft him. I fully expect the Rams to draft either Mathews or Robinson and Atlanta to take the other. Jacksonville is well within reach for a trade up without mortgaging too much. If the Jaguars are truly targeting a QB with their first pick then one of the three, Manziel, Bortles and Bridgewater, should be there at the #9 spot. https://mobile.twitter.com/RapSheet/status/456077701598560257

Whenever I watch the highlights of Kiko all I do is slowly nod my head and smile. Go Bills!

He's a prime example of actions speaking louder than words. I love this guy and I WILL get a #50 jersey this year! Go Bills!

Go Spikes! Love the attitude, long overdue!

Excellent break down, I enjoyed reading it. I agree also, OT looks to be our first pick.

I'm late to the party but now I'm in! Prayers going out to you Jimbo! It's time for 1 more fight #12. Go Bills!

I just wanted to update something here. I just read that Falcons' owner Arthur Blank was not happy that QB Matt Ryan got roughed up last year and none of the OL retaliated. The Falcons have already made some changes to the OL for some toughness. I fully expect the Rams and Falcons to draft Greg Robinson and Jake Matthews with their first pick. I'm wondering if the Rams were to select Robinson if the Falcons would be tempted to draft Lewan instead of Matthews because of his so called nastiness. If so maybe Matthews just might slide to us after all. I'd rather have Matthews but I didn't think that we would have any kind of chance to get him. if not I would still be satisfied if we were to get Lewan.

I have been hoping and expecting for the Bills to draft OT Taylor Lewan with their first pick in the draft and WR Allen Robinson in the 2nd rd but after reading about Kouandjio's Pro Day I might be changing my wish list to WR Mike Evans in the 1st rd and Kouandjio in the 2nd. I guess I could be excited in either scenario though. Go Bills!

I'm not trying to get rid of him but I don't see how we are going to be able to use both of these WRs effectively. I read earlier that this trade may be an indicator that the Bills may want to get rid of Stevie. Cutting him isn't a solution because it would only be a savings of about $25,000.00 against the cap. The article offered that after this season it would be a lot more advantageous for the Bills. I don't know if a trade would be feasible but if so I'd be talking to Pettine over in Cleveland if so, they could use a #2 WR like Stevie.

I think that this is a GREAT signing and really signifies a changing of the guards, taking on edgier players with attitudes! I personally loved it when last year Woods got bounced out of the Dolphin game for throwing a punch, especially that we won the game. Williams is loaded with talent and if anyone really thinks that he is going to embarrass himself in front of his own community then maybe they better think again. Another WR that nobody seems to be talking about much is Ramses Barden. I think that this guy might be the best acquisition of the off season. I can hardly wait when the likes of Spikes and Williams plays the Patriots, there should be some good fireworks going on in that game. I fully expect Pepper Johnson having that defense jacked up for it at the Ralph!

I agree wholeheartedly. While he handled everything with class, even before Mr. Wilson passing but I truly believe that he has this community's best interest and has and is doing everything that he can possibly do to turn things around and also keep this franchise where it belongs and that is in Buffalo. Hopefully he has some kind of influence in this whole thing. Go Bills!

Interesting, I thought all this time that they wanted big, strong WRs. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/03/30/bills-have-interest-in-desean-jackson-at-the-right-price/

Some of these owners can only dream knowing half of what Ralph new. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/03/28/ralph-wilson-once-issued-a-memorable

!@#$ that parasite. He can put whatever spin he wants to on it and put a pretty little bow on it but what this dickhead is overlooking the whole Art Modell/Cleveland debaticle. We actually owe that franchise a debt of gratitude, reason being that Goodell will never want to put his name on another mess like that. That is the main issue of leaving Paul Tagliabue out of the HOF and Goodell will never want to be the one to repeat that ugly piece of NFL history.

You must be very proud of your daughters and rightfully so. Rambling??! No, it was perfectly stated and I thank you for identifying with my sentiments. Go Bills!

I struggling to shake the sorrow that I have been experiencing this week but I'm failing miserably. As I sit here at work I'm flooded with so many thoughts and emotions. I find it kind of therapeutic to try and put my thoughts forward and I want to attempt to do it before my sentiments pass on Mr. Wilson. I'm doing this by an IPhone so please keep that in mind while you try and decipher what I hopefully can translate what Mr. Wilson has meant to so many of us. Although his passing has been expected for quite some time I'm finding myself so utterly unprepared to deal with this monumental loss. I have been reading all the tributes, articles, stories and.comments that I can get my hands on about Mr. Wilson's passing. I literally haven't slept except for about 30 minutes last night. I mostly stayed in my room last night, lights off, reading by IPhone all that I could. I still find myself drowning in mourning. It was always. "Us against Them" and in a demented way I actually enjoyed it. That mentality reflected in all the past and present players who enjoyed being a Bill. It's no coincidence that this embarrassing small market team had the greatest come back EVER. It's no wonder that this team that resided in Misfit Land went to 4 consecutive Super Bowls, sadly not winning one of them but never giving up. It's the only way that so many of us know and our franchise, past teams, righteously reflected that way of thinking. After that first Super Bowl you would think that we slaughtered the Giants by the way that this region welcomed back their heroes. Scott Norwood wasn't blamed or outcasted but instead he was uplifted and exonerated. Why? Because that's who we are. We're not for sale, never have been, never will be. We're non-negotiable and so many past and present alumni realize that but more importantly it was exemplified to us by the greatest and last pillar of the old AFL and that is our patriarch Mr. Wilson. We weren't for sale because he wasn't for sale. It was a perfect marriage. Sadly it's just not us, Buffalo, all of Western New York or even football that is suffering from this loss but the world, as we know it, has lost someone, something that can't be cheaply manufactured or replaced and that is character. Mr. Wilson represents a dying breed of it, when a handshake meant something. It meant your word. your honor. Principles that I once knew but in time forgot about. I, like many, got swept up into the vortex of this rapidly changing world, a world of plastics, robotics and automations. I think that my biggest debt of gratitude that I owe to Mr. Wilson is that in his death he has reminded me of who I once was and who I want to be. Thank you sir. Secondly I owe Mr. Wilson for the memories that he help create in my family. I have photo albums but I don't them. I don't need them because the images of my 2 little boys dressed in Bills' pajamas, wearing miniature Jim Kelly's #12 jerseys are vividly imprinted in my brain and stamped in my heart. My boys are grown men now, 27 and 28 respectively, and really only have been "football fans" the last years. Thank God that they're not off the chain like their old man, meaning they actually got a functional life! I can tell you this though, I actually have 3 sons, the youngest being 22, and 2 of my sons live in Louisiana but they're Bills' fans. They are Bills' fans because of me. This is one of our bonds. Whenever and wherever my kids are in this world when they see or hear ANYTHING about the Bills they think of me! How can I ever repay my gratitude for that! And if the Bills never win a Super Bowl while I'm alive, I know they will one day and on that day, when my kids are celebrating this long overdue victory, I know that I'm going to be with them one more time. Thirdly I owe Mr. Wilson because showed me what it means to be loyal. Bill Polian stated that he knew for a fact that there was multiple opportunities to sell or relocate the team for a big pay day. Don't worry Bill, it wasn't ever a reality because there was somebody who wasn't for sale. Thank you Mr. Wilson, thank you for the man that you are! I probably said too much so I'll wrap this up, the keyboard is pretty blurry anyways and it's not waterproofed. There is a reason that Bills Nation stretches around this whole world, it really does. We have had crusaders like Tim Russert, who no matter how big of an event that he was covering, never forgot his roots and would wrap up with an uplifting "Go Bills!" With a wink. There's crusaders on the biggest sports network EVER in Chris Berman, who is just as grief stricken as any Buffo native is. I think that he wants to tell you just one more time that "NOBODY circles the wagons like the BUFFALO BILLS!". You see, being a Buffalo Bill fan isn't just a part time thing or a phase or some kind of crazy fad, it's a way of life and you sir recognized that and protected it. You are our Champion. This was an open letter to you Mr. Wilson and I took more of your time than I deserved but I just want to simply say, from one Bills' fan to another, thank you and you sure are going to be missed but never forgotten. Now hurry up, I'm sure Tim is just itching to catch up on the Bills! The last light .....

RIP and one huge thank you for the greatest Buffalo Bill of all. This has to be the the most horrific week in Bills' Nation.

I just ran across this article today. I don't ever remember reading or hearing about this but what torture some of these players go through. http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1991-10-20/sports/1991293162_1_stagner-baty-kathleen After reading this article I figured I'd google the Batys to see where they are today. I saw a bunch of articles and picked just a couple to read. The first one was from 2010 and unfortunately they are divorced. The article didn't give any insight on how or why, seeing that it was about the new job opportunity for Kathy and her high school son Turner. The second article was pertaining to "where are they now" players and teammates from Greg Baty's Miami Dolphin days. I'm sure that there's way too many of these types of former players. It's pretty sad to see such a descent for people, no matter who they are. http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2012-09-22/sports/fl-life-after-the-nfl-day-1-main-20120922_1_identity-crisis-juvenile-detention-center-miami-dolphins

Now I cried twice. What a beautiful sentiment, thanks for sharing. Stay gold Johnny...stay gold.

Jim Kelly needs to know this, as far as Buffalo and Western New York is concerned he'll never die and THAT is the best that we can do for him and his lovely family, that and a ton of prayers. We love ya Jimbo!

Thanks for sharing your memory. I would love to hear everyone's memory, story or interaction that they might have had with Jim Kelly. With enough insights and perspectives of so many fans would only give a greater portrait of one of Western New York's favorite sons. As a Western New Yorker myself the number 12 to me means only one thing, it means Jim Kelly! Go Bills and go Jim Kelly.

Jim Kelly IS Buffalo and Buffalo is Jim Kelly. Thanks for loving us Jimbo but we love you more!
