  1. What is the rookie cap?

    Rookies will fit about 5 million in cap and about 10-15 in cash, all being told this year. So they can re-sign Fred and the rookies, and Levitre and Byrd this year. They just have to put roster bonuses or guaranteed cash in 2013 as the bigger number. After this year, they get 8 million back in dead money from cutting Maybin and trading Evans. No one needs to be cut, no one needs to be moved, no worries.

  2. As much as I enjoy and respect Pat & Tim IMHO, a trade up goes against everything Buddy Nix believes in ... a trade down ... maybe, but a trade up .... NEVER!!!

     

    As far as drafting Kalil, I sit firmly in the "Our #1 need is a solid OT" camp and would be glad to have him, but would I rather have Kalil and lose our 3rd round pick, or Floyd (who the Vikes took in our #10 spot) and keep our 3rd round pick .... I don't know ... we sure could use a good WR, and a pick is a pick.

    Think of it this way, we went into the draft with 9 picks and with this trade (and the comp pick) we still have 9 picks and a guaranteed starter at LT. That's a win to me.

  3. The more I have researched Glenn, for the reasons you give above Kelly - I could really see Glenn being the other LT who can start right away.

     

    I always thought Martin figured into our plans, but after his pro day. I just don't see it at #10 at least. Yeah it is just the bench press, but that is really an issue that hurts Martin's chances to have an impact right away. The Bench requires the use of your biceps, triceps, deltoids, lats, pecs, etc...all the upper body muscles that the LT will need to use to hold off a defender. It would take him about a year to add the strength and bulk he needs...As a second round pick I would take him....

     

    Glenn sounds like Buddy's prototypical LT...This kid could be a player for us, at #10 as well.

    While the bench is helpful, the biggest thing that helps any offensive lineman is his legs/hips. That's where the power is going to be to sit back in your seat in pass pro and burrow a guy out or reach block him as a run blocker. The bench only helps at the end at times, when you are "Forklifting" at the end of a run to help pancake them. If a lineman has wrestling in their background, their hips especially will help them more than the arm strength.

  4. Malta....do you have any concerns of Glenn not having the athletic ability to move laterally and getting beat by edge rushers? He is a interesting prospect to me...but I dont want to draft a guy at 10 and then discover he needs to go inside or to RT because he cant make it at LT.....would kinda defeat the purpose....FOR THE RECORD....I am really big on OT's that push people around and impose their will.....which is why I like Hairston. I just dont want whoever is at LT to get beat by a Von Miller type and shallack our QB

    Glenn did really well in the Senior Bowl too John, so I think (unasked) if they took him at 10, he fits Nix's profile for a big bad dude at tackle. Worst case, if he didn't do well at LT, he could be a monster at G to replace Urbik and have Hairston after 2 years in system start too. Not the worst thing to have happen either.

  5. I get the sense the Bills think that if Bell was a bit tougher, he'd spend less time in the trainer's room. He doesn't seem to want to fight through the pain like a warrior should. Just IMO, I could well be wrong.

    I get what you're saying Coach Tuesday, but how could the guy play through a broken collarbone? Remember, at first it was reported it was a shoulder injury but when they did the MRI it turned out to be a completely broken collarbone - no one can play through that.

  6. One thing Lombardi forgot to mention when he made the off the cuff remark that the Texans didn't win with Anderson and Williams on D together was Anderson was cut by the Bears and picked up by the Texans in October of that season. He then spent a few weeks learning the system and after their bye had 4 sacks in ten games. Also, the corners were their biggest weakness, leading to the acquisition of Jonathan Joseph... So the whole story there isn't exactly there.

  7. Deal really worth 19.5

     

    4 years, 19.5 Million is not bad at all...

     

    Free-agent defensive end Mark Anderson played his way into a giant increase in pay and a big contract when he signed with the Buffalo Bills. It's worth $19.5 million over four years, according to a league document obtained by The News.

     

    That's less than what was attributed to sources in numerous media sites, including The News, last week. Anderson will get $8 million this year and $10.5 million over the first two years of his deal, as was widely reported. Initial reports had the deal totalling $27.5 million.

     

    Anderson, who had 10 sacks for the New England Patriots last season, played on a on-year deal worth $1.37 million in 2011. The four-year average of Anderson's new deal is $4.875 million. He got a $6 million signing bonus plus a guaranteed base salary this year of $1.9 million, and a $100,000 workout bonus. His base salaries in subsequent years are $2.5 million, $4 million and $5 million.

     

    The addition of Anderson is key for the Bills' defense. He gives the team a healthy speed rushing option opposite newly acquired free-agent prize Mario Williams. If veteran Shawne Merriman can recover from an Achilles tendon injury or the Bills add another young rush man in the draft, that will just add to their pass-rush arsenal.

  8. If the Bills draft, and click on a top LT, it would be monumental. This is a team who has historically squandered it's best resources on defensive backs and running backs, the results of which were of course losing football games. This is beyond dispute.

    Now, their biggest needs are LT, LB, and back-up QB. Having the #10, and additional late round picks, we could get lucky and fill these needs. This would, imo, make us a playoff team.

     

    The above said, I am pretty sure that the #10 will be a wideout. We shall see.

     

    GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There's no problem with a wideout at 10 if he gets a guy like Marcus McNeil in round 2 though, right Bill?

    With the compensatory picks now awarded to 15 different NFL clubs we now know the overall number of every one of Buffalo’s 10 draft choices. Here they are.

    1st round – #10

    2nd round – #41 (9th in round)

    3rd round – #72 (8th in round)

    4th round – #105 & #124 (10th and 29th in round – 2nd via Evans trade with Balt.)

    5th round – #144 & #147 (9th and 12th in round – 2nd via Lynch trade with Sea.)

    6th round – #178 (8th in round)

    7th round – #217 & #251 (10th and 44th in round – 2nd via compensatory)

  10. No harm no foul, LM. I got kudos for pointing it out to the Boss at DraftTek! We can't believe you were the first (out of 100,000 visits per day) to spot the inconsistency! :thumbsup:

    It's a little thing I do every year - whenever I get official picks for the Bills at least from C Brown I put it in a draft notebook I make for that year. So I just wanted to give a heads up!
