Thank goodness someone else in this fan base understands this. I'm NOT bashing us, folks, just pointing out that maybe, there is something out there that we could do to gain a possible advantage and help us.

That's true too. Why not do both?

Hate those teams. Just saying that we should do what gives us any possible advantage.

It is. If there's an advantage, it is superior, by definition.

I love it. Great. Just because I'm pointing out that we can (and should) reduce other's advantages over us.

W's and L's is how I compare the two.

You just confirmed my point. So, if there is any advantage to possibly be had, take it.

My point? Who's been winning the last decade and who's been losing?

No, it doesn't. But, it can be an advantage.

They have Oakland's #1 next year. They also have Carolina's #2 next year as well, after picking it up yesterday. As well as their own. They may not need to get that lucky again.

With the way they work the draft, they will re-load. . . the basic premise of this post. Obviously players come and go, and you need to re-load. They'll do that better than almost anyone else. I don't want to get stuck on the Pats. My point is that WE could do this too. Why let them have an advantage over us this way?

But, they did go 11-5 with Cassell, still decent.

They have a strong nucleus overall is my point. Mayo recently is their best pick.

This is whining and bitching???

You need the clue. They've won 3 Superbowl's in the last decade while we haven't been to the playoffs once. Now, I hate the Pats like no other. But to say that what they're doing isn't better than what we've been doing draft-wise is just being in denial because you hate them. It's a fact, not my opinion.

Almost this entire board give props to Buddy Nix, saying things like how much better he'll be than previous GMs, I trust Buddy to do the right thing, Buddy won't make the same old mistakes etc. But, I am very disappointed to hear his comments about moving around in the draft. He said in a recent press conference that we don't really look to move much, and "I don't know where some of those guys know where they even draft." It got a chuckle from those listening. Nix has very little interest in that option, rather moving up or down. He said "we'll most often just sit where we are and draft from there". But, this reeks of not getting full value of player vs. draft slot. It's almost like Buddy was just too set in his ways, or tired, or old to even want to bother with it. He just doesn't want to "work" the draft. Very troubling comment. New England has proven that if you know how to do this manuever, it will benefit you. Adam Schefter also, on local, Denver radio, summarized that the Broncos got the net effect of an additional 3rd rounder by all of their moves. The great Dallas teams of the 90's under Jimmy Johnson (I know we hated them) were master's of this practice, and the results were obvious. Now, I'm not condemning his draft picks (yet) because we just don't know yet. But, it is an inherent disadvantage not to move up or down if/when the situation warrants it and you don't bother. It is not working the draft to your largest advantage.

I think we all have to accept this likely fact: Nobody would give diddly squat for Lynch right now. My hope at this point is that he is simply the short yardage guy ONLY. I don't want him taking any otehr snaps away from Fred or CJ. I'm begging for a Lynch for OL veteran help later, after this OL-devoid draft of Buffalo's.

Speaking of Steve young, what's up with the sculpted eyebrows these days?

What about everybody telling us that Nix was just "smokescreening" and of course Lynch was gone?

How can this be? . . . are you kidding? This is the Buffalo Bills

Might as well just keep him as depth then trade him in that scenario

But that would be a big "if" and that would likely be a pick NEXT year.

If not today, then that means we're not getting a 3rd for him . . . at least not a 3rd this year. So, what sense would it make to trade him for a 4th or less? Not much.

If we don't get at least a 3rd, there's no real point in trading him . . . so, this 3rd round should tell us if he's staying or going

I wanted McCoy originally too, but now not sure. His arm strength is borderline. Brian Billick called him an NFL back up just before round 2 started today. I'm not getting the "warm fuzzies" from him anymore. Still, maybe we take the shot because we are so desperate at the QB position.
