In space no one can hear

I'm glad he left early. It worked out great for the Bills. Instead of being a lock first rounder if he stayed in school....we got him in the 4rth round!!

Agreed. Vincent looked lost out there at free safety. Time for him to go. He was a very good CB five years ago.

Agreed. He chose to speak about Lowry who isn't in the same class as Ko Simpson. Great pick!!

I AGREE MORTENSON IS A HACK AND NOTHING BETTER THAN THE VILLAGE IDIOT OF ESPN! no i will not turn off my caps locks...

Mortensen almost made it seem like a personal vendetta against the bills. Kiper didnt have a problem with the whitner pick he wasnt thrilled about mccargo. 676108[/snapback] I HATE MORTENSON SCREW HIM...HE'S NOTHING BUT DONAHOES BUTT BUDDY!!!

Agreed Mayock is a God. In fact....I wouldn't mind seeing him in the Bills organization.

Analysis of Bills pick from Pro Football Weekly........... Buffalo: S Donte Whitner, Ohio State Some outsiders might consider this pick a bit of a reach. The reality is that a lot of teams were lining up to secure Whitner and he was graded as a consensus first-round talent around the league and would not have lasted much longer. He is very, very smart and instinctive and should replace Coy Wire in the starting lineup immediately. With intelligence and character being highly valued by new head coach Dick Jauron, a former NFL safety himself, Whitner was a natural fit.

Does the fact that Ed Reed plays ONE safety position mean anything to you? There other starter Will Demps left via free-agency....they need another one.

That's my guess. If they trade with Philly and pick up the Eagles second rounder #45. Run pluggers are available later in the draft.....a pure pass rushing demon like Lawson is rare. Get er done Marv!!!

Reggie Rogers.....gee... and I thought our beloved Bills only had players on our roster that were pure, innocent and beyond reproach! press sarcasm button now.

My guess is he would pick Devin Hester from the U.

Wow......now that would be something!!!!!!!!! Teams counting on Jets to make a bad decision By Nolan Nawrocki April 21, 2006 The latest development to shake up the top 10 is the Jets' perceived need for a quarterback, which will make a lot of teams in the top 10 happy as more good players slide down a slot, beginning with D'Brickashaw Ferguson. A lot of teams are expecting the Jets to succumb to the heavy media scrutiny in New York and cave in to the pressure of taking the popular pick instead of the right pick for the franchise. If the Jets screw it up and take an average-armed QB with average mobility, like Matt Leinart, he will not finish the season healthy. We trust that Mike Tannenbaum and Eric Mangini will know better and do what's best for the team. Editor’s note: Juniors are denoted by an asterisk (*). 1. Houston Texans — RB Reggie Bush, USC* Final decision has not been made between Bush and Mario Williams. Bush has the lead. 2. New Orleans Saints — DE Mario Williams, North Carolina State* A.J. Hawk fills the biggest need if the Saints could move down a few slots. Otherwise, it's a no-brainer if they are unable to move down. 3. Tennessee Titans — QB Vince Young, Texas* Steve McNair’s likely departure and the franchise's urgency to win now could weigh in this decision. The fact that Titans offensive coordinator Norm Chow has a previous relationship with Leinart by no means makes Leinart's selection the right move for the franchise. 4. New York Jets — QB Jay Cutler, Vanderbilt Chad Pennington’s shoulder is a concern. Leinart is not the answer, and for the sake of the Jets' future, we hope the new regime can figure it out. 5. Green Bay Packers — OT D’Brickashaw Ferguson, Virginia Ferguson allows the Pack to kick one of their tackles inside and bolster a unit that was awful a year ago. 6. San Francisco 49ers — LB A.J. Hawk, Ohio State Niners’ front office does cartwheels if two quarterbacks go in the top five and they can address and ugly LB situation after losing Julian Peterson. 7. Oakland Raiders — DB Michael Huff, Texas Instantly upgrades the secondary and gives the Raiders’ defense a playmaker they sorely need. 8. Buffalo Bills — TE Vernon Davis, Maryland* Now that the Bills have signed TE Robert Royal and with Kevin Everett returning, a win-first mentality could create pressure to draft the three-technique defensive tackle so key to the new defense. Don't rule out Brodrick Bunkley here, but Davis gives Steve Fairchild great flexibility and could make the team's unproven cast of quarterbacks look good. 9. Detroit Lions — DT Brodrick Bunkley, Florida State Defensive line needs to be addressed, and explosive talents like Bunkley, who can play anywhere on the defensive line, are difficult to find. 10. Arizona Cardinals — OLB Ernie Sims, Florida State* Orlando Huff did not get the job done last year. Sims is an assassin who could spark the Cardinals’ defense. 11. St. Louis Rams — QB Matt Leinart, USC Marc Bulger was lost each of the last two seasons with multiple shoulder injuries. Leinart has had some injuries but not missed any time. He will be too difficult to pass. 12. Cleveland Browns — NT Haloti Ngata, Oregon* Finding an anchor for a 3-4 front is not easy. Don't rule out the possibility of the Ravens leapfrogging the Browns to nab Ngata. 13. Baltimore Ravens — DB Jason Allen, Tennessee With holes at safety and the No. 3 corner role, Allen’s versatility improves his value. 14. Philadelphia Eagles — OT Winston Justice, USC* Getting better in the trenches is key to keeping Donovan McNabb healthy. 15. Denver Broncos — WR Chad Jackson, Florida* Ideal West Coast receiver will be groomed to replace Rod Smith and add offensive firepower to a team that is close to reaching the big game. 16. Miami Dolphins — CB-S Jimmy Williams, Virginia Tech Nick Saban loves big cornerbacks and is confident enough to think he could correct Williams’ inconsistencies and control his volatile personality. 17. Minnesota Vikings — OLB Chad Greenway, Iowa Very likely to package some picks and move up for a quarterback, but with top three gone here, Greenway best fits the bill. 18. Dallas Cowboys — OLB Manny Lawson, North Carolina State Al Singleton is coming off injury. Lawson’s edge speed will take a lot of pressure off the secondary and lessen the need for a rangy safety, especially with more available in the next round. 19. San Diego Chargers — WR Santonio Holmes, Ohio State* The receiving corps is not getting any younger, and with Philip Rivers finally getting his shot, the Chargers would like to support him. 20. Kansas City Chiefs — CB Antonio Cromartie, Florida State* Herm Edwards loves big cornerbacks, such as he once was, and has the confidence to take a chance on a talent that some are calling “special.” 21. New England Patriots — OLB Kamerion Wimbley, Florida State A 3-4 rush linebacker who brings more value for the Patriots’ 3-4 scheme. 22. San Francisco — CB Johnathan Joseph, South Carolina* Has tremendous physical ability and could make an immediate impact and develop with some fine coaching. 23. Tampa Bay Buccaneers — CB Tye Hill, Clemson The Bucs highly desire a physical corner who can run and cover Panthers WR Steve Smith. Hill could contribute immediately in No. 3 CB role. 24. Cincinnati Bengals — C Nick Mangold, Ohio State With four offensive linemen unsigned entering their contract years, the Bengals need to infuse their line with some youth. 25. New York Giants — LB Bobby Carpenter, Ohio State Tom Coughlin coached his father and knows he can keep Carpenter in check. 26. Chicago Bears — CB Kelly Jennings, Miami (Fla.) Outstanding ball skills, intelligence and ability to contribute immediately make it possible for Bears to overlook some bulk/injury concerns. 27. Jacksonville Jaguars — OLB DeMeco Ryans, Alabama Consistency is highly desired by Jack Del Rio, and the loss of Akin Ayodele created a void. 28. Carolina Panthers — RB Laurence Maroney, Minnesota* With DeShaun Foster an injury away from I.R., insurance is needed in the backfield. 29. New York Jets — OT Eric Winston, Miami (Fla.) Protecting their first-round investment (see pick No. 4) is critical, and if the Jets do not land D'Brickashaw Ferguson with their earlier pick, they need to address the position here. Anthony Clement is not a solution. 30. Indianapolis Colts — RB DeAngelo Williams, Memphis A linebacker could be more intriguing, and the possibility of trading down is even more likely, but the RB position needs to be addressed. 31. Seattle Seahawks — DE Darryl Tapp, Virginia Tech A classic Tim Ruskell pick — hardworking, high-effort, high-motor player. 32. Pittsburgh Steelers — S Daniel Bullucks, Nebraska The Steelers have a big need to fill at safety after losing Chris Hope, and Bullucks brings the size, striking ability, speed and special-teams contributions to justify coming off at a pick that many teams regard as the start of the second round.

Draft value depth chart By Nolan Nawrocki April 18, 2006 The value board below is based on PFW's grades and feedback from NFL teams. Each round is divided into three parts: A (early), B (middle) and C (late). Thus, 2B signifies the middle of the second round. Players could be drafted higher or lower based on team needs and fits within certain schemes. The value board may not list the exact number of players in a round as there are selections. More players are listed than will be drafted, especially in the last two rounds, because of the very minor difference between late-round draft picks and priority free agents. This week we have added color coding for players whose draft status could be affected by their injury/medical history (red), by character concerns (blue) or by intelligence issues (green). Players affected by various concerns are coded in multiple colors. Some arrows were used to indicate players who are gaining momentum in draft meetings or losing steam. Offense | Defense Offense Rd.

As long as you are fantasizing....why not add even more trades and picks that miraculously benefit the Bills....wouldn't that be even more fun?

Using that draft I would consider taking: 1. Michael Huff, DB Texas 2. Andrew Whitworth, T LSU *flip Peters to LT 3. Claude Wroten, DT LSU 3. Charles Spencer, G Pittsburgh 4. John McCargo, DT NC State

I agree with you about Everett and Euhus. How does having players unproven and unproduvtive at a position keep us from taking an explosive athlete that will help both our receiving and running game immensely? Certainly teams wouldn't be able to crowd the box against McGahee. Put Davis in motion and watch the other team have to account for him. He will create more room on the field for both Evans and McGahee.

Distinguished Guest Lecture Series in Sports Management State: Confirmed Time: Wed Apr 05 2006 07:30 PM to 10:00 PM Location: SC GFL Student Center Grupp Fireside Lounge (150 expected) Organization: SCHOOL OF EDUCATION & HUMAN SERVICES Requestor: Shawn O' Rourke 3179 Description: Bill Polian, current President of the Indianapolis Colts and former general manager of the Buffalo Bills will give a lecture entitled "Building a Successful Franchise in Today's NFL" on Wednesday, April 5th at 7:30 p.m. as part of the College's Distinguished Guest Lecture Series in Sports Management. The lecture, which is open to all faculty and staff, will be in the Grupp Fireside Lounge in the Richard E. Winter '42 Student Center, and admission is free, seating is limited. not sure if this was posted yet......

Thats weird.....no mention in the article about Ralph shuttling players around in a Ford Taurus.

I think getting a fifth pick for Moulds is a bonus.....with the cap room it created we will be able to land even more talent at a position of greater need- than for a (at this stage in his career)possession receiver such as Moulds. It's either keep Moulds or get the fifth rounder and the cap room to add more players- I'll take the latter. If Houston actually gets untracked and Carr, Bush and Johnson start getting some glory....it will be interesting to see how Moulds is able to handle being in the background.

I would be happy to get the first pick in the fourth round. Being the first pick of the second day....it is a pick that is often in demand as teams review their draft boards from the first day and stew over the "one player left who that can't belive dropped and is still available" This pick can easily be flipped for a lower fourth pick and then an additional pick. More draft picks sure makes draft day alot more fun!!

Have a great day!!

Pro Football Weekly Enjoy....

I would also like getting Adeyanju in the third...unfortunately- his stock is rising as we speak...so the chances of us getting him their are slimmer and slimmer.

Nice job! Thanks for not making any "fantasy" trades that so many poster put in their mock draft...which for some reason always seem to benefit Buffalo with players we want and need just happening to fall in our laps. I would also take Vernon Davis with this pick...given the choices that you have left.
