I would love this scenario. We should be able to still get an impact player and add another second rounder. This would even give us the option to trade back into the bottom of first round if someone is there worth the fifth year option. This depends 100% on who is on the board when our pick comes up.

Lynch is signing for less money than Gilislee.

Buffalo Bills: "they still think we won four in a row in Kenya"

Anyone who publicly linked this young mans name to these allegations owe him an apology. (I don't mean anyone who posted it here, but through larger outlets like Twitter)

I thought that was crazy too. Peterson seems like the type of player they love to bring in and see what's left in the tank. But because they passed on Peterson and if we got Hyde for that same 5th, the naysayers will say they outsmarted everyone.

But if it were possible to get Hyde for a 5th, wouldn't the geniuses in New England have thought of it first?

I searched but I suck at looking for things according to my wife.

I decided to add to my endorsement of James Conner here, rather than start a LAMP thread. The more I hear about Conner's back story and watch his highlights, the more I am convinced he would be an ideal change of pace back to LeSean McCoy. I really hope that he is available when we get to one of our 5th round picks and we pull the trigger. I would LOVE to see him in a Bills uniform and think he would be a more than suitable replacement to Gilislee.

"Here's another QB named Kelly...now quit yer bitchin'"

So would this reaction thread have been larger or smaller if we had matched the offer and retained Gilislee?

James Conner time!

Putting the FAIL in bufFAlo bILls since 2000.

On this we agree, but hopefully his input will help Whaley get the right type of players here to help develop his system, whatever that ends up being. I also respect his coordinators as "football people" as well, but only time will tell.

No, we've been here a while sharpening our wits.

So now McDermott is not a real football person?1? He hasn't even had his first draft as a head coach and you have already determined this?

Quick, send that to the marketing guys!

Maybe we will hit the jackpot with our 3rd fifth round pick this year! Now we will need the player that he will replace to be severely injured so that he can come in mid season and lead us to the promise land. Oh, and someone should sell their soul just to be on the safe side…

I heard many of the same things about Karlos Williams the year before and how he was going to end up with another team and make us look like the fools that we are. I think our running game is a strength, or at least it was in the system we used the last few years, and someone else will step in as the number 2 back and take advantage of this strength.

me too. Theoretically, if we draft a wide receiver with our first pick, Watkins becomes our number two receiver, so I guess that is an upgrade over Woods.

yes, but for less money. That's how the NFL works in the salary cap era.

Sounds like Adrian Peterson Will be signing with the Saints for $3 million this year. So Gilislee signed with the Pats* for more, crazy.

Lol. That does not sound like common sense to me. Sadly, he may end up with more division titles, but not all-purpose yards.

Possible, but seeing as this would be our 3rd RB, it is possible that we may find one after the draft. I hate to see him go as well, but I am hoping they use this time to research who they may be able to get with that fifth round pick and liked what they saw.

That is the first time I ever heard that Reed was a TE in college. Wow

I heard Gil Brandt talking to someone the other morning on NFL radio who knew the family of the QB from Colorado and he said the Bills and Steelers were the only two teams to have a private workout with him so far. We are definitely turning over every rock.
