The way Nix talked about getting a QB and a "good one", it leads me to believe that they are going after someone specific. I won't be too surprised if there is a trade (either player-for-player or draft picks). As a side note, I saw this ending to the Gaughan article in the Buffalo News and had to chuckle regarding the so-called media experts grading the Bills draft: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bills coach Chan Gailey made it clear after Friday's third round picks that he's not losing any sleep over what kind of reviews the Bills receive. "You use that term experts loosely, by the way," Gailey said.

Very, very cool ! Way to go.

In a twisted sort of way, losing Rose this season is not as much of an impact on team chemistry as it would have been were this to be his first injury. Fact is that the Bulls have been playing without Rose quite a bit this entire season. They should have sufficient fire power even without Rose to get past the sixers. Having said that, they don't have enough to get past teams such as the Heat. So I predict yet another disappointing end to a promising season.

I posted this in another thread before seeing yours. Potentially important statement from Buddy. Perhaps he is expecting some backups to be cut post-draft ? Someone who Buddy thinks has potential but hasn't been given the opportunity yet ? I don't see anyone on the list of CURRENT FAs who fit that bill. So I am guessing either the above (expected cuts) or trade for one. He said 'good one' else I would have guessed Colt McCoy.

Yes, and Buddy's words were very interesting. "We're gonna get one in free agency. We're gonna bring in a quarterback, and we think a good one." http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/article832358.ece?twobillsdrive Is he looking to fill the backup spot to replace Thigpen or competition for Fitz ? If the OL, LB and WR picks pan out, QB will be our weak link on the road to glory. So, I am wondering if Buddy is looking to start filling that gap sooner rather than later ?

When they are together, Hair-ston is sure to be around

Trade them another ex-1st rounder and call it even. I am talking McK. Serves two purposes - gets us a proven tackle and allows our WRs more room to run.

I thought he fell asleep before the TJ pick. Did someone wake him up ? Jokes aside, this is a phenomenal draft. And follows a good one from last year. Guys, we are on our way to dominating the league for a long time.

Nice ! Another big dude and Nix stays true to his word about getting two tackles. I love this draft. So far, just one 'wtf' pick in TJ http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/zebrie-sanders?id=2532943

perhaps he won't be good. I have no way of knowing. But if he indeed has speed and can get open, the fact that Fitz may not be able to get the ball to him should not stop us from selecting him. The above is a shortcoming of Fitz and a team is not built around working around limitations. While I understand that we need to have players that fit together, it is highly likely the Bills may eventually move away from Fitz to a stronger armed and more accurate QB. Or it is also likely that the extra time he will get now with Glenn may help him set better and improve his mid to long range completion percent. While I too am surprised by this pick, I can tell that the FO's intentions were good.

Sure, but Glenn helps fortify the line and if TJ has speed, the time Fitz needs should be lower than with the slower guys we have now. Also, if he streaks down the right sideline, for example, it should roll coverage there and open the slot for Nelson/Chandler. All depends on what kinda routes this kid runs

With so many OL and WR still left on the board, I presume at least a couple will be available when we pick. I will be HIGHLY disappointed if we don't pick one of these positions with #41. Pretty much indifferent between WR and OT but lean more towards OT. For an equivalent grade, Nix may also prefer OT over WR (based on his interview this week "no point having a WR if the QB is on his back").

I too thought it was weird that the guy did not show any emotion. However, please read the first post in this thread where a Gamecock fan says that in 4 years, Gilmore has rarely if ever displayed any emotion including a smile: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/145142-hey-guys-gamecock-fan-here/ There, now I can sleep well. Good night guys, tomorrow evening will be even more fun as I am expecting the FO to start loading up on Offense.

Perhaps I havent watched enough Giants games. But to me he looks too inconsistent to spend anything more than a 4 th at best. Also, does anyone know why the Giants are attempting to get rid of him? Too many options or agreement with my opinion? I am.not asking a smart a$$ question. Truly want to know

Color me unimpressed with him. In the few Giants games I have seen, he has not looked strong or dominant. JPP - now he is a player and a mighty fine one at that. Osi U may not garner much more than a 5th rounder and a 4th would be a steal. But, ofcourse, that is just IMHO. Goes without saying, I believe he will not be an upgrade for the Bills.

And tennesseeboy

I just hope it is not the one the Bills pick.

Urbik and Rinehart both signed their tenders You can add: Extended McGee Did NOT retain Parrish

We cannot forever be against picking DBs in the first round just because Levy and Jauron pretty much blew the picks. Their fault was not that they picked CB and safety. Their error was in picking McK and Whitner at those high spots.

Covering superior TEs and run support

With all the inane draft threads going around, this one comes as welcome comic relief. Keep it going, guys.

Thanx for the link, nice find. "...we wouldn’t pass up a quarterback or any other position at 10.” More Buddy non-speak. Love him.

Signing Mario is consistent with win now and the larger good. He is a proven player and was acquired in FA. There was not a choice to make between him and another player who could have helped the team more in the long run. Such choices are made in the draft and in two drafts, I have not seen a single player selected by Buddy in the early rounds who would contribute immediately but not necessarily be the best at his position. Also 'sounds' like Ben Roethlisberger. What is your point ? That every QB with those measurables is RJ ?

Do you guys truly believe that if the FO believes that RT will be a good to great QB with a high ceiling, that they will NOT take him cos it interferes with the 'win now' philosophy ? That is total and utter BS (IMHO ofcourse). Guys, even now, with the way we have shored up the D, we should continue to fall down on the pick order every year. Couple that with the fact that every year there are 2-3 teams desperate for a QB and you see that it gets more and more difficult to acquire a ready-for-NFL QB as years go by. Buddy may have said 'win now' but which of his actions so far have indicated that he willing to sacrifice the larger good in favor of immediate returns ? Even the BPA mentality is premised on the logic of getting a player who will have the most long term impact on the franchise. And no other position embodies that more than the QB position. We should have drafted one last year, but if one is available at our pick spot, we will take him. I don't know if RT is that player, but if the FO believes that and he is sitting at #10, we will take him.

No matter what one thinks of Sanders, spousal abuse is not something to joke about. In this particular case, pending more information ofcoruse, it is telling that Sanders did not hit the two women back. An ex-NFL player like him, IMHO, could have handled and injured them if he wanted to.
