2 4th rounders according to trade chart. Jax is rumored to want out of the top 10 and Bills supposedly took a 4th and 6th instead of a 3rd for Peters. Could not mean anything but seems to be some smoke there.

I think the Bills have a trade in place with Jax if who they want falls to #8. Andre Smith could be that guy. I don't know if the Bills would draft an interior OL at #28 if they get Smith because he might start out at one of the Guard positions. I think they'd go defense at #28 in that scenario unless Pettigrew is there at #28.

Williams and Dockery living at the same house. Better not let Ralph know the address. If he had any honor, he'd bust his butt to get himself in shape and beg Ralph to play for a veteran minimum contract to earn all those millions he stole from the Bills.

I never understood the hype surrounding him in college. With that contract and not fitting into a 3-4 defense, it will be interesting to see what KC does with him. I bet they'd take a 3rd rounder plus maybe a conditional 4th or 5th the next year.

Bills will trade up with Jax and take Curry or Orakpo, whoever is still there. No OT's in first 2 rounds.

He will not last long in the sports writing business. Too level-headed and intelligent. Buffoonery and absolutes are what rule now-a-days.

Maybe his injury ruined his career, but the guy had a monster preseason his rookie year and now looks a step slow on every play.

We probably have to trade up with Jax to get Curry, Orakpo, or Andre Smith. I thought I remember reading somewhere that Jax wants out of the top 10 and that DelRio is smitten with Cushing.

I actually agree with this. It would be nice to load up on the front 7 with both 1st rounders. Orakpo/Ayers and Cushing/Matthews plus a trade for Henderson and we could actually have a pretty nice defense.

For some reason, I think the target is Orakpo who is strong enough to play on the right side. Schobel, Stroud, Orakpo, and Henderson? could be a nice defensive line.

I think that would decrease Jackson's effectiveness. Plus, Jackson probably splits return duties with McKelvin if/when Parrish is traded. Getting Rhodes obviously helps in the first 3 games, but also allows Jackson to be used more situationally and on returns. In addition, I think Lynch doesn't run hard all the time especially early in the season to save himself for later in the season. Two work-horse backs like Lynch and Rhodes with an all-purpose guy like Jackson is almost an ideal backfield.

Curry if he falls. Maybe Smith. The way things are happening at One Bills Drive, nothing would be too surprising at this point.

Even if a trade with Jax is true, why would the Bills tell them who we are targeting, and why would Jax leak the info? I don't doubt that the Bills have something in the works, be it trades in the draft or picks for veterans, but I seriously doubt this happens.

Parrish is a great punt returner because of his quickness in the open field. That does not translate to offense because he is too small to break tackles. Welker is much more powerful than Parrish. Parrish is probably the slightest non-kicker in the NFL.

I think this means Parrish is gone. This frees up Jackson to split return duties with McKelvin and be the 3rd down back.

They better do something or Jauron should just box up his office now. Waters and a Tight End for 2 4th's would be a start. If they are hell bent on trading Parrish, I'd like to see them package him and #11 to move up with possibly the Raiders and get Curry. Parrish seems like an Al Davis type.

I don't know how anyone can be happy that the Bills just got rid of a guy who was our best player in 2007 and certainly our best OL since Hull. That said, the way things went down, there's no way the Bills could justify paying a guy that kind of money who did what he did last year. In an ideal world where the Bills hadn't sucked for the past 10 years, I would have let Peters piss his career away and made him play under his current deal unless he showed up to every offseason workout program and training camp. Unfortunately the Bills need all the help they can get and couldn't afford to not take Philly's offer.

I really hope Brandon knows what he's doing. He certainly isn't lacking balls. Let's hope he has brains too.

Philly was probably our most realistic trade down partner, but that is obviously out now that they have their LT. Maybe if Crabtree falls, someone will trade up, but Detroit is the only realistic team that has the ammo to trade up. I doubt the Bills would trade down to the Giants at #29, and I pray that Brandon is smart enough to never do a deal with New England.

My guess is Oher at #11 and he starts at LG his 1st year.

The better question is what do the Bills do with the money ($8-10m? per year) they were going to give Peters? I really hope they have a plan that doesn't include starting rookies and journeymen on the OL. What's the latest on Waters from KC?

Arizona would be idiots if they trade him to another NFC team. I'd imagine he goes to the first AFC team who meets the Cards' demands.

Because without teams like the Bills, the NFL is just a big corporate behemoth whose main goal is to satisfy suits and fantasy geeks. Basically it becomes the NBA.

How about Curry and Pettigrew? Curry falls to #8, and we trade our 4th to Jax to move up (in this economy, I don't think a team spends top 5 money on a LB that doesn't rack up sacks). If Pettigrew falls to the mid 20's, trade up with our 3rd.
