While Polian was GM of the Bills (1986-92), he drafted a total of one QB--the immortal Brian McClure... 1992 - BUFFALO BILLS RD SEL # PLAYER POSITION SCHOOL 1 27 John Fina T Arizona 2 55 James Patton NT Texas 3 83 Keith Goganious LB Penn State 4 111 Frank Kmet -- Purdue 5 139 Matt Darby DB UCLA 6 167 Nate Turner TE Nebraska 7 195 Kurt Schulz DB Eastern Washington 8 223 Leonard Humphries CB Penn State 9 251 Chris Walsh WR Stanford 10 279 Barry Rose WR Wis.-Stevens Point 11 307 Vince Marrow TE Toledo 12 335 Matt Rodgers -- Iowa 1991 - BUFFALO BILLS RD SEL # PLAYER POSITION SCHOOL 1 26 Henry Jones DB Illinois 2 54 Phil Hansen DE North Dakota State 3 82 Darryl Wren DB Pittsburg State 5 138 Shawn Wilbourn -- Long Beach State 6 166 Millard Hamilton WR Clark Atlanta 7 194 Amir Rasul -- Florida A&M 8 222 Brad Lamb WR Anderson (Ind.) 9 249 Mark Maddox LB Northern Michigan 10 277 Tony DeLorenzo -- New Mexico State 11 305 Dean Kirkland -- Washington 12 333 Stephen Clark -- Texas 1990 - BUFFALO BILLS RD SEL # PLAYER POSITION SCHOOL 1 16 James Williams DB Fresno State 2 42 Carwell Gardner FB Louisville 3 69 Glenn Parker T Arizona 4 100 Eddie Fuller RB Louisiana State 6 154 John Nies P Arizona 7 166 Brent Griffith G Minnesota-Duluth 7 170 Brent Collins -- Carson-Newman 7 181 Fred DeRiggi NT Syracuse 8 208 Marvcus Patton LB UCLA 9 238 Clarkston Hines -- Duke 10 265 Mike Lodish DT UCLA 11 292 Al Edwards WR Northwestern State-Louisiana 1989 - BUFFALO BILLS RD SEL # PLAYER POSITION SCHOOL 3 82 Don Beebe WR Chadron State 4 109 John Kolesar -- Michigan 5 137 Michael Andrews -- Alcorn State 6 164 Sean Doctor -- Marshall 7 173 Brian Jordan DB Richmond 7 193 Chris Hale DB USC 9 249 Pat Rabold -- Wyoming 10 276 Carlo Cheattom -- Auburn 11 305 Richard Harvey LB Tulane 12 332 Derrell Marshall -- USC Brett Young -- Oregon 1988 - BUFFALO BILLS RD SEL # PLAYER POSITION SCHOOL 2 40 Thurman Thomas RB Oklahoma State 3 65 Bernard Ford WR Central Florida 5 123 Zeke Gadson -- Pittsburgh 5 135 Kirk Roach -- Western Carolina 6 150 Dan Murray LB East Stroudsburg 7 177 Tim Borcky -- Memphis 7 184 Bo Wright -- Alabama 8 204 John Hagy DB Texas 8 213 Jeff Wright NT Central Missouri State 9 235 Carlton Bailey LB North Carolina 10 262 Martin Mayhew DB Florida State 11 289 Pete Curkendall -- Penn State 12 309 John Driscoll -- New Hampshire 12 316 Tom Erlandson Jr. LB Washington 1987 - BUFFALO BILLS RD SEL # PLAYER POSITION SCHOOL 1 8 Shane Conlan LB Penn State 2 29 Nate Odomes DB Wisconsin 2 33 Roland Mitchell DB Texas Tech 3 60 David Brandon LB Memphis 3 78 Jamie Mueller RB Benedictine 4 109 Leon Seals DE Jackson State 7 171 Kerry Porter RB Washington State 8 209 Bruce Mesner NT Maryland 9 227 Keith McKeller TE Jacksonville State 11 283 Howard Ballard T Alabama A&M 12 311 Joe McGrail NT Delaware 1986 - BUFFALO BILLS RD SEL # PLAYER POSITION SCHOOL 1 16 Ronnie Harmon RB Iowa 1 20 Will Wolford T Vanderbilt 3 77 Leonard Burton C South Carolina 5 111 Carl Byrum RB Mississippi Valley State 7 168 Bob Williams -- Penn State 7 178 Mark Pike DE Georgia Tech 7 180 Butch Rolle TE Michigan State 8 202 Tony Furjanic LB Notre Dame 9 222 Reggie Bynum WR Oregon State 10 251 Guy Teafatiller DT Illinois 11 278 Tony Garbarczyk DE Wake Forest 11 282 Billy Witt DE North Alabama 12 313 Brian McClure QB Bowling Green State 12 331 Derek Christian -- West Virginia

Didn't say it was unfair. Just that the players and employees who didn't have anything to do with Tommy's balls are going to be penalized and always branded as cheaters. Most fans here would say good, they're Cheatriots. But that's a lot of tar to spread on some who had no involvement. As to Kraft making an example of Brady, it would be nice to see ("Hey, Tom, how about turning over that phone, even though you said no the first time") but he's never going to do it, with the whole circle-the-wagons vibe going on in Boston right now...

Low for me to be a devil's advocate...but if deflate-gate truely is all on Brady and neddledee and needledum, the Pats organization has been dealt a pretty severe blow by the actions of three employees. Now, I can enjoy that fact just fine, thank you. But it makes me think how I'd feel if three numbnuts at my company did something to tarnish the efforts and public perception of every other employee like this. I think that's why Kraft is so embarased and I can see their point just a little...

John Miller's pretty low for a linemen as well -- 11.5% -- the second lowest measurement for any OL at the combine. He may be short for an OG, but he's a solid 300-pounds...

Highly educated guess...

God help me...I'm a happily married man (sitting next to my wife right now)....but there's something about the "Red Shirt" woman in the Independent Health ads that gets my pulse beating faster every time I see her...

Looks like Hill got to travel by Air Pegs. That should have been a real thrill for a kid who was on nobody's radar yesterday... http://flightaware.com/live/flight/XSR960

Anybody hear why UDFA OT Jermaine Barton wasn't signed? Edit: Never mind, it seems he's still rehabing from knee surgery: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000481517/article/two-illinois-state-prospects-could-be-rookie-free-agents

Exactly. Name an organiztion that doesn't leak. It's human nature...

The NFLPA...not the agent...will be the one to get his suspension reduced, if at all. It will be interersting to see how that plays out, seeing that Brady didn't want their help earler in the investigation...

Whaley better get all of his picks signed...seems like he's dragging his feet a bit relative to many other teams.

I would expect a NYC-based reporter like Gary Meyers to have the scoop on this, given the sources he probably has at the league office. What's interesting is by handing down the ruling next week and tipping off the media now, it will have MAXIMUM coverage--which is quite the penalty in and of itself for Brady and the Pats. They could have dropped the hammer tonight when the media were all hitting their favorite wateringholes and had less of a Ka-boom event...

Hey, that kid's still on the Titans' roster (probably for about 5 more days ), so he beat quite a few odds to make the NFL...

More like Flacco, who the kid says he's tried to model his game after...

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/05/07/nflpa-didnt-advise-or-represent-brady-in-wells-investigation/ "Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the NFLPA did not represent or advise Brady in the Wells investigation, at the request of Brady and his representatives."

Well, they do know their readers... https://www.google.com/search?q=tinfoil+hat&espv=2&biw=1280&bih=909&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=HexMVZ0PhrahBJLogKAL&ved=0CC0QsAQ EDIT: Friday afternoon is typically when bad PR is released... http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/patriots_nfl/the_blitz/2015/05/source_nfl_could_issue_deflategate_discipline_ruling_today "Hold onto your pressure gauges. Today might be another wild one. A source close to the Deflategate investigation believes a disciplinary ruling could be made as early as this afternoon. The source stressed nothing official has been relayed, but there is a feeling this situation could be resolved quickly. Obviously, if it doesn't happen today, Monday would then come into focus because the NFL holds off its business dealings over the weekend." http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/05/08/report-deflategate-punishment-could-come-this-afternoon/ "While nothing has apparently been relayed to the Patriots, the fact word is leaking out now indicates that the pressure could be rising around Gillette Stadium soon."

Perhaps the joke is on Bill.... http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2015/05/08/bill-simmons-espn-parting-ways/UaAwzJtRUzw3Rp08KBXZNK/story.html

DOO DOO CACA POO POO!!! See, they can do it...

Sean Kugler (Lockport native, former Bills O-line coach) is UTEP's HC. Maybe some good scouting vibes on the kid...

They're not going to lose a franchise QB because of accounting considerations. They'll move $$$ around, just like all teams do...

That's what the film on him showed. NFL speed will be a major adjustment for him...

Paul Allen's wallet > Pegs...

How many quality starters have they drafted since 2011? By my count, 11 of the 33 picks (with Alonzo and Searcy moving on to other teams), with a couple of more potentially able to join that category this year. Also, two ROY candidates in the past two drafts. http://www.nfl.com/draft/history/fulldraft?teamId=0610&type=team

Set to really take up cap space starting next year... http://overthecap.com/player/tyron-smith/663/
