Those of you asking NGU to 'tell your pals to pick xxxx', do you realize that his is (thankfully) a one-way transfer of information ?

Thats not the middle.

If I found a good one, I would use him/her to predict the Bills draft pick so I can get a jump on everybody in bashing the FO

Leads me to a thought that I had. There has been much discussion about how picking Spiller at #9 was wrong (and I am one of the criticizers). But the FO deserves a lot of credit for anticipating our weak points on D and using several picks in round # 2 onwards to address those deficiencies. Troup, Carrington, Moats, Batten all are front line picks which we so desperately needed. They were rookies last year and saw limited action till later in the season (except Batten ofcourse) but we should really see them making an impact on the D this season. My point is that with regard to the D, the FO were proactive and we need to give them credit.

I am as happy as you knowing it is now confirmed to have been the latter. The FO has been busy ....

Considering their possible status after the CBA, I think this is excellent strategy that really protects the Bills. I commend the FO for being pro-active. They also are showing that they place some (undisclosed) value on keeping your own even if they are not superstars in their own right. I have said before that Poz and Whitner are above average players and we will be better off keeping them (at a reasonable price ofcourse).

BB needs intel on our D ? If we are better this year that will mean that our players are better allowing the coaches to scheme. Which wont help by getting Stroud. I think the Pats* just got him as an experienced insurance policy to play occasional downs.

Couldn't have planned it any better.

Regarding Cam Newton : "I knew he was going to look great in a pair of shorts."

Selena is a les ?

Moats may be our Harrison

Ha ha ha ha.

Good thing last year's draft had more than one round else I would have believed you

In rush hour, if a driver is using his cell phone and driving much slower than traffic flow, I am allowed to pull him over, slam that phone on the road and stomp all over it.

McKelvin for AJ Hawk straight up is what I offer. Two underperforming high 1st rounders. Deal ?

Let me be the first to welcome you. Knowledgeable football fans are always appreciated around here. And the Pack is one of my favorite teams after the Bills (small time market, rabid fans etc)

Satan's actually ... ".... he believes Satan is attacking his family."

Bills9999, can you play NT ? Seriously, I am 5-11 and most I have weighed is ~ 204 lb. I started working out when I was 196 and dropped to my now stable weight of 186 lb but have lost 4 inches off my waist and added muscle. So it is a good 186 as opposed to the flabby 196. Could lose more around the gut but boy those inches go slow....

Perhaps I did not state my point properly. What I meant is that if there is a choice between a 'project QB' or a can't miss pick, I vote for the can't miss pick. Again, I realize that there really isn't a 'can't miss' when it comes to a draft but every year there is a consensus about some players who are far more NFL ready and unlikely to fail. Sam Bradford comes to mind. In this case, I would rather the Bills make a safe pick than one who is risky. I am not talking about money at all.

Good points. Besides the money (which is ofcoruse a big deal), the state of our roster is such that we cannot afford to have a another failure of such a high pick. Mike Williams set us back a lot and we need to err on the side of a safe pick rather than a high risk-potential high reward. Take a solid player who will make the team better for years to come starting with this season.

I think his career is over.

This one is different. It has been started by our fearless leader.
