Bill from NYC

Yes and they acquired this pick by trading away a certain future first ballot HOF Left tackle, who was the best player on the team. The Bills never really cared a whole hell of alot about blocking.

I have a friend I've never seen He hides his head inside a dream Someone should call him and see If he can come out Try to lose the down that he's found But only love can break your heart Try to be sure right from the start Yes, only love can break your heart What if your world should fall apart?

I don't believe this happens frequently. In fact, I would dare to say almost never. My guess is that if she uses this as a reason there are almost definitely other far more serious reasons, or at least 1. Jmo. OK but is she an Oklahoma State Fan?

I totally agree. Money doesn't change people. It makes you more of what you already are more often than not.

True. Let us not have any pre-conceived notions that Mixon is a scumbag.

Drafting Bijan would be something that Ralph Wilson would have demanded. Players like this thrilled Mr. Wilson because they put "fannies in the seats.' Remember, Ralph needed the ticket/concession income more than most owners. Bijan would make some great runs because of his talent if the OL could give him occasional running room. Then, fans would see this and say he is "good" or even "great." They would rationalize the pick but it probably would not result in so many wins due to the 2010 rule chages and once again, the OL. Despite my blatant pessimism, I continue to watch the draft every year, just hoping for a good one. I don't get as upset as I used to. TSW posters would call me on the phone just to hear my stream of intense vulgarity after for instance the Leodis McKelvin pick lol. Now it's all good. I just continue to hope that we don't repeat the same dumb, costly mistakes.

Robinson probably is the real deal. That said, how far will he be able to go behind the Bills OL? Derrick Henry certainly is the real deal and he needs room to go downhill and overpower defenders. For decades, the Bills have built their team ass backwards. Now we have the best QB in the history of the franchise and still McDermott just refuses to dedicate the resources needed to protect him, let alone provide him with ample weapons at WR. Now, will this be the year that McDermott goes all out on blockers and receivers? I don't know. Who knows if he will be able to resist secondary and undersized DTs?

LOL!!!!! I agree that this is a VERY weak draft, perhaps the worst I have seen in many years. Often (not always) these "RT only" types can also play guard. I agree that #27 is almost always a tad early too draft a guard, UNLESS one was there who I would consider to be a great guard. In 2021, I was screaming for the Bills to draft Landon Dickerson (C). We picked at #30 and selected Rousseau who is good. The Eagles drafted Dickerson and moved to him LG where he looks superb. I wish that he was on the Bills protecting Josh. If we draft a corner who is as good as all time greats Darrelle Revis or Mel Blount in their respective primes, Josh is still gonna need more blocking or his career will be cut short, and there is no getting around this sad truth.

He met my expectations but they were not high to begin with. It is unusual that the vote is SO close on one of these polls.

That's about right. Why protect Josh Allen when there are DBs to be had?

Yes, he can come to the podium with Donte Whitner.

Seriously?

Everybody's got a thing But some don't know how to handle it Always reachin' out in vain Just takin' the things not worth having But don't you worry 'bout a thing Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama 'Cause I'll be standin' on the side When you check it out, oh

I don't doubt this.

Do we know if Oliver was showing any signs of being intox? One problem with being a police officer is that in most situations, unlike others, you cannot just drive away. If he showed any sign(s) at all of being intox on any substance and they allowed him to be on his way, who do you think would be blamed if he got into an accident down the road and injured or killed someone or even himself? Many sports fans labor under the misconception that police officers relish the opportunity to confront athletes. I could never understand this line of thinking. Oliver (as is the case with most football players) is a genetic mutant. If he decides to resist, the only way to stop him would be the use of some very serious force, that is if you don't want to get killed. I will not name them but I came in contact with a few NFL players in similar situations. One was a DE; one an OT. Both were famous. Trust me, I have never met the police officer who wanted to get into a physical confrontation with them, or a prolonged court case with their lawyers. All I am really trying to get across is that you are correct. The arrest was not necessarily wrongful because the arrestee was released without being charged.

Wronfully arrested? The police received a call that his vehicle could not maintain it's lane. Oliver had an open alcohol container between his legs and a loaded firearm in the car. Apparently the chances were great that he was high on a different intoxicant than alcohol, one that he was not tested for. His bloood tested clean for alcohol and the charges were dismissed but I would hardly classify this as a wrongful arrest. What is your basis for saying "wrongfully arrested?" Are you making this a racial issue? I really fail to understand where you are going with this.

Correct. I confused the Jets with seattle. Thanks.

I remember a similar quote by a Bills GM in 2008, mentioning how excited he would be if Leodis McKelvin was still there. Does this ring a bell?

Not necessarily. Often the coaches have more power than the GM. For example. Pat Kirwin (former Seattle GM and currect Sirius radio host refers to Pete Carrol as his "boss" while at Seattle. In the case of the Bills, McDermott was there first and got the job for Beane. Remember, Beane wasn't there when McDermott traded away (and was WAY undercompensated for) the #10 pick in 2017. That was the selection with which KC took Mahomes. We in turn grabbed the 8th defensive back in that draft after trading down 17 spots. McDermott was fleeced, and this showed how he values defensive players above all else and it didn't stop there. Josh Allen is great. He is a generational talent imo. McDermott drafts defensive backs and undersized DTs in lieu of blockers and receivers. McDermott is a good field coach. His problem is that he has a dose of the Levy/Jauron disease which is not conducive to winning Super Bowls. He needs to be stripped of his power wrt the draft. This is jmo. I do not necessarily expect you to agree but you asked. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of you folks never heard of this relatively obscure band, but they were great imo. This is "Shadows and Echos" by IF on the album IF2.......

Dressed myself in green I went down to the sea Try to see what's going down Maybe read between the lines Had a feeling I was falling, falling, falling Turned around to see Heard a voice calling, calling, calling You was comin after me Back to me

I don't think that this is a racial issue. Two people were killed. Btw, did those deceased happen to be black? The entire incident is horrible and regrettable regardless of color.
