  1. Detroit wanted a safety... If we traded down would Detroit have taken him?

    So What...This is just the ridiculous stuff that cost TD his job. Your telling me with the huge needs at DT and the fact we could have gotten the best CB, we took a Safety/CB tweener that runs 4.5, not fast, and is too short and not big enough to be a SS. FS is the best this guy can bring us. Oh yeah, we've got three guys back there now already. Wow we sure needed that position????????

  2. One more that I like involves us trading down for Bunkley:

    17. Bills (MIN) – Broderick Bunkley – DT – Florida State

    42. Bills – Jason Allen – FS/CB – Tennessee

    51. Bills (MIN) – Davin Joseph – G/T – Oklahoma

    70. Bills – Jonathan Scott – OT – Texas

    98. Bills (HOU) – Dusty Dvoracek – DT – Oklahoma

    105. Bills – Brian Calhoun – RB – Wisconsin

    115. Bills (MIN) – Hank Baskett – WR – New Mexico

     

    I like this one all the way down, and shows what a great trade-down would look like.

    If that happened I would be ecstatic, I doubt your 70-115 will be there when we select, but it would definitely be one of the best drafts we've ever seen.

  3. With all the talk about how desperately we need to upgrade the o-line and we better not take skill position players I'd offer this hypothetical. . .

     

    Would our current team be better if we had Indy's entire o-line rather than our o-line and our current skill position players. . .

     

    OR

     

    would our current team be better with Peyton Manning at QB, Edge at RB, Harrison & Wayne at WR behind our CURRENT O-line?

     

    I have a feeling our O-line would look a heck of a lot better with those skilled people. Our team would clearly be better with Indy's skilled guys vs. Indy's O-Line.

     

    So, while we all howl for major upgrades on the O-line, let's not forget that our skill positions could stand an upgrade (especially when Moulds leaves) too!

    This is a foolish argument, if the QB doesn't have time to throw the ball, or if no holes are opened on the line, all the best skill players in the world won't win you any games. Same with the defense, if the Dline doesn't control the line of scrimmage then the QB has time to throw. All NFL QB's can find receivers with 5-6 seconds to look around or scramble. And certainly if you can't stop the runner til 5 yards into the defensive backfield, whats the point.
