The Sammy Watkins trade is exciting in terms of risk of potential and there are a lot of offensive weapons. The defense should be above average despite some loses (Alonso and Byrd). The season will hinge on how our quarterback develops. If he's good a record of 9-7 to possibly 10-6 is not out of the question. However, if there is no improvement, anywhere from 4-12 to 6-10 could be realistic.

All of this will be worth it IF we have a chance to make the playoffs in December. Otherwise, the bashing will be unavoidable.

1. Johnny Manziel- Jacksonville 2. Jadeveon Clowney-Houston 3. Blake Bortles-Arizona 4. Khalil Mack-Oakland 5. Mike Evans-Tampa Bay

Jake Mathews and if he's not available, Aaron Donald or Anthony Barr

Apparently your sources seemed to be correct with this. Now whether or not it happens is another story. I'm not sure what to think of this if it does happen, but there are only 2 players that I see that are on the bills radar if this actually plays out. Clowney or Robinson. The wildcard would be one of the quarterbacks.

Rest in peace. Thanks for the memories.

If he's healthy, absolutely I would agree with you. That would certainly be a giant pick up if he went signed with us and I think it would raise the level of optimism around here.

I think it starts at quarterback. Manuel is going to have to step up and have a good year if we make it back to the playoffs. Despite losing Byrd, I did not like the Pettine went to the Browns. I hope that doesn't affect the progress we made this past season.

Pretty good guess. Byrd going to the Saints was surprising.

5 years 60 million, 35 million guaranteed, Cleveland

When you offer a player 3 years 30 million guaranteed and turns it down it probably means he doesn't want to be playing in Buffalo. I guess maybe management can go a little higher if necessary but I think you let this one go. I am not sure what that does in terms of our drafting plans which now could change drastically. It's pretty consistent in terms of bad news regarding our team for the last 14 years.

I agree. But if he is gone as well as some of the other consensus top picks, I think you have to take a look at Anthony Barr at #9.

I would not make him the top paid safety in the league but certainly paying him in the top 5 of the safeties in the league makes sense.

I will go with 27-19 Denver. Its kinda difficult to pick against Peyton Manning.

Bruce had a few sacks in that game if I remember correctly. Tough loss that Sunday night on ESPN.

Bill- I think you nailed it today. I was fortunate to watch the game and this was a game that was truly given away to the Chiefs. With all running plays by Spiller and Jackson on that impressive drive early in the 2nd half, we go to a shotgun on 1st and 2nd down draw plays on the 1 yard line and get stuffed. Then we decide to pass on third and goal from the 1 and what happens? Bad throw, 101 yards the other way and a tie game. I was sick after that play as most of us I'm sure were. I'm sorry but what was the overall thinking on this? Yes, you can defend our head coach and say, well Stevie was wide open and it was a horrible throw by Tuel to the other team. But the other side of the coin was, why would you throw the ball after you have ran so successfully that entire series? Sorry but this is a game we EASILY could have won but was gift wrapped and given to the Chiefs.

I absolutely agree. Watching him against the backups, he looks like an all pro out there. Got to see him against the starters to see how he is progressing.

Highly unlikely.

Unless there are any surprises in camp, I would assume that this seems the most logical. I agree, the Dansby signing at this point would be a nice pickup.

I think that's a good idea. If a quarterback like Barkley is still available in the 3rd round, I say you pick him up with our 3rd round pick.

I just was looking that up. Any chance the Bills take Dion Jordan if he falls to #8?

I'll take Green Bay

That is pretty accurate. Forget getting the best player available this year. Get a position of need for a change.

Which almost for sure means we are out for Geno Smith, correct?

That is a realistic possibility. Do you think we have hit rock bottom yet with this team?
