[What player can the Bills realistically get that will most directly lead to a SB THIS year?]

Etienne can't catch as well? To me, he was more effective catching the ball against teams like Bama, OSU, A&M and ND. Harris is a poor man's D.Henry. Big, but not as much speed. I'd wait for Javonte Williams if he gets to us in RD 2. Edge rusher, CB (Samuel) or a trade down for Day 2 picks. 

 

I think an EDGE rusher would help us the most to possibly reach the SB

The poster doesn’t know what he’s talking about. You want a DE, WR or CB, ok, but Etienne is undoubted class. I’ve seen him throw the halfback option pass on a rope 25 yards down the field to Tee Higgins. He is also a very good blocker; Dabo made him work on it his last two seasons.

[Rodgers Disgruntled with Packers]

Actually he did ...

 

"The reason Rodgers trade demands are coming out now is because he apparently gave the team an ultimatum. According to former ESPN anchor Trey Wingo, the Packers told Rodgers they would trade him this offseason and when they changed their mind, the QB became angry. At some point over the past week, Rodgers told the team that they would have to trade him because he had no plans to play for them ever again."

I hope this is a lesson to Josh .. take less money so you have a team around you. These guys complain, but they absorb all of the salary cap leaving the team to plug in with lesser players. TB is considered the GOAT because he won .. and a reason he won besides he is the GOAT (and he cheats a bit) is because he enabled the Pats to pay other players by not taking the full salary he could have garnered.

It helps when your wife makes twice as much as you make every year.

Who is the stud RB - you have 2 guys that are being looked at as late 1st rd picks for a reason. 
 

ETN is faster, but still not elite RB speed and has been way overused.  He is a lesser RB than Harris and can’t catch or block as well.

 

ETN has averaged 14 carries a game the last three seasons. He’s sat out plenty of fourth and third quarters. Please stop with the overused baloney.

[Zach Ertz about to be traded? [Edit: or Not]]

Before I had season tickets to the Bills and Clemson I had season tickets to the Eagles for 15 years going back to the 700 section in the Vet.

 

If the Bills could get Ertz and the 37th pick for the 30th pick they should take and run. You can’t underestimate how bad Wentz was last season.

[Rodgers Disgruntled with Packers]

Rodgers has turned into his nemesis, Brett Favre.  He is no better.  Like Favre he won a Super Bowl relatively early in his career, and like Favre he adopted an "I got mine" attitude, had to be the center of all attention, and spent the rest of his career underperforming in playoff games because, after all, "I got mine."

[Bad Luck With Clemson High Draft Picks]

These players would walk into the Bills starting lineup today:

 

Nuk Hopkins

 

Tee  Higgins 

 

Christian Wilkins

 

Dexter Lawrence

 

Grady Jarrett

 

DJ Reader

 

AJ Terrell

 

Travis Etienne

 

 

 

These players would be at least perfectly acceptable squad depth:

 

Mike Williams

 

Hunter Renfrow (younger Cole Beasley)

 

Mitch Hyatt

 

Isaiah Simmons (bags of potential, poorly handled last season)

 

Clelin Ferrell

 

John Simpson

 

Trevor Lawrence (ahem)

 

 

 

 

[Ben Allbright’s annual mock draft has Bills taking Etienne at 30. He’s been right about where Bills are looking several years running.]

As probably the only man in the USA who owns both Bills season tickets and Clemson football season tickets, I can tell you that the Bills may pick another player and that player may pan out, but they are going to wish they had drafted Etienne.  He is going to be a great player in the NFL.

 

The Bills have one of the top offenses in the NFL with mediocre (to put it kindly) running backs.  Singletary offers nothing and Moss is Frank Gore, the 35 year old version.  Why not shoot the moon right now?

[Serious Question From An Eagles Fan]

The Eagles have spent the last five seasons trying to push the stone up the hill and get that first Lombardi trophy. Three straight NFC championship game losses followed by this past Super Bowl defeat has left a sour taste in the mouths of many, but not nearly all Eagles fans. Some are content to contend every year, to go to a playoff game or two, and are confident that there will always be next year.

 

Now, with the TO situation and the contractual discontent of others, particularly Brian Westbrook, many Eagles fans are afraid the window will close, and that we've seen all we're going to see. If that happens, I don't know if I'll look upon the past four years with fondness or with bitterness. I suspect the latter.

 

I'm genuinely interested in your thoughts on this question. How do you look back on the Bills' Super Bowl years? With fondness and at least some sense of satisfaction? Or perhaps with bitterness and emptiness? I grew up in upstate NY and rooted for the Bills in every Super Bowl. I can only imagine how crushing it must have been for you.

 

Thanks for your input.
