NFLN said that he's shown some flashes, but isn't consistent (yet). Good pick with potential and fills a need... A scout said "he just needs to figure it out" i.e. get in some games and play and he'll be good.

And the Pats get SD's 2nd next year! Goooo figure...

What a great day - we get two of the top players at two must upgrade positions... Can't wait for the season!! Already!

6'5" 217!!!

Hardy is the pick!

Let's see what Mayock says...

NFLN is killing it - Maylock knows everything!

Here we go...

Everyone would FREAK out!

Willis and Conner would be pretty sick in SF...

Thanks for playing the game GB...

Bummer - lets hope the other top guys last!!

WOW holy s**t...

Jets gave up a second and a 4th to move up! Too high, IMO The Bills are going to sit tight and still get one of the top receivers...

So the draft starts at 3:00 tomorrow, correct? Funny that's not *really* obvious on nfl.com/draft - get me their marketing guys... Didn't the draft used to start earlier (seems like I remember a morning / noon draft party in the past). As for the coverage, I think I'll be flipping around and of course on the computer!

Can't remember the game (or even the year for that matter), but Moulds had a beautful diving, one-handed grab and in mid-air he tucked and landed in a perfect summersault. It was a thing of beauty to watch live...

Clearly you didn't read the "Absolutely sickening" thread - Ralph won't be making any meetings anymore

Doooooomed! or perhaps Not Dooooooomed!

Seems like an appropriate story for 4/20

I've cooked with Saffron before, my only advice is to use it sparingly! That stuff is strong and has a distinct taste, but I guess that's why it's so loved... Maybe you should just sell it on eBay, that Saffron is expensive stuff.

Yeah, because flight issues never happen; clearly Turner hates Buffalo

If anyone has any doubts about what Marv is trying to put together, they should go pick up his book. Reading through it'll become pretty clear what he's trying to do in Buffalo... Good post, by the way!

Chris Brown's blog from BB.com - well put: "SPIKES, HOLCOMB TRADE: I have to commend the Bills on this move. They clear some salary space and help to address a need on the interior of their defensive line. Even better Walker is still under contract through the 2008 season at reasonable money ($1.3M base in 2007 and $1.4M base in 2008). Holcomb really wasn't a fit in Steve Fairchild's offense. He's a better fit for the horizontal passing attack of a west coast offense, so he should serve a purpose in Philly. Walker is a hard-nosed defensive tackle who can penetrate. His sack totals are impressive for an interior player, although playing with two good defensive ends helped in Cole and Kearse (when healthy). I like that Walker has been durable and though he is 30-years old, he won't have to play 50 plays a game in Buffalo's rotational system, so he should be able to stay fresh. I expect him to work with Larry Tripplett at the 3-technique position and rotate through. I'm wondering if this means that John McCargo will become a full time nose tackle or one-technique and rotate with Kyle Williams. We'll have to see. I'm hearing the conditional pick is a seventh rounder for Holcomb. It's really tough to see Spikes leave knowing the warrior he was when healthy, but I don't think the Bills felt they could afford to wait another season to see if Spikes would return to full form. Spikes' last two games last season were pretty productive and I understand his performance in those two games is what sold the Eagles on him. Unfortunately the odds are against NFL players who try to return from achilles injuries. Sure everyone references Seattle's Julian Peterson, but he is an exception to the rule. Chicago's Mike Brown still isn't right after missing most of last season. Philadelphia's Todd Pinkston struggled in his return to form last year. Sam Cowart was never the same player. I'm never one to doubt Spikes and his incredible will, but the statistics build a compelling case against him. Still I wish him luck. He was a stand up locker room guy and very active in the community. "

I like the paragraph on the front page of his site: "The off-season has begun, and I am looking forward to my training regimen. However, in the meantime my wife and I just had our 1st baby, and we are loving every minute. I look forward to smashing QB’s next season, but right now I have to tend to my future QB killa." Hopefully he'll be smashing 'em for us! http://www.darwinwalker.com/default.asp

Wait, I think global warming is supposed to affect *Polar bears* not *Panda bears*...
