Wasn't Ronald Curry an NBA star??
Uh, no. That was Del Curry and his son Steffan Curry is a beast. Ronald Curry did play for the Tarheels basketball team when he was in college.

I wonder who it is? The teams that come to my mind are New England and San Diego. Man it would be disappointing to see him go to the Patriots

If you look at the track record of the Bills draft with Modrak, it makes no sense for Bills fans to invest a whole lot of time discussing the draft.
Being that the Bills do a shoddy job of evaluating NFL free agents who have already spent years in the league, it's almost expected that they're not going to excel at projecting what college players will do in the NFL.
If they cannot gauge the ability of an NFL player how are they going to gauge they ability of a college player in the NFL?
And their track record shows exactly that, it sucks.
Worse yet they now have a guy in the gm role who has no business being there.
If this team happens upon a good 1st round pick this year it will be by pure accident because it's obvious by now that they don't have clue one.
It's like Christmas for the NFL only difference is teams are picking their presents from a reserved slot. It is the season of perpetual hope for the football fan. You hope that your team gets players that you're familiar with and believe would have a significant impact. It's a time that any, every fan can dream and speculate about who will don your favorite team's uniform starting in offseason workouts. It's a time where the game is won and lost behind closed doors and not on the field. We all know how quickly that hope can be dashed to pieces though if a team takes an off the wall player or some one you feel is a turd. Either way right now it's happy feelings towards the draft, but who knows what it will be like come April 27th.

Orton is pretty decent IMO. Look at his receivers - Marty Booker, Brandon Lloyd, and Davis. Would you be happy if any of those guys started on hte Bills??? Put some more talent on that offense and Orton will be pretty good IMO>
And why do people think Simms is good? Because of his last name? All I remember about him is he was a decent QB who wrongly started over Major Applewhite in college beause he was a big name recruit.
You may be right about Orton. Who knows? About Simms though, just my take, he seemed to be starting to put it all together on the field before the splien injury. He played well in the Tampa playoff game against Washington, that they should've won if it wasn't for a bum call on a TD reception late. I think he's never really had a fair shake either. Not trying to be a smart allack or anything, but where's Major Applewhite at now days? Not in the NFL.

After Miami moving Satelle, I figured they might be going with Mack in the 1st round. I also know that Philly needs line help and might be looking at him. I didn't ever think we would go with Mack @ #11, but I was thinking he might fall to us in the 2nd round possibly. Maybe this helps our cause.

Exactly. I have heard from fans from other teams at work regarding some of the morons who claim to be Bills fans calling their team laughing stocks. I tell them it is like family - you can not choose who is in the family even if the family member is a three time loser found stealing from church poor boxes. The family member like H2o does not represent the rest of us.
Look "G", I was initially stating that we were STARTING TO HEAD in the direction of a Bengals type of franchise where the losing is perpetual and the player problems abound. I'm speaking from what I heard at my former job and the people I see in the street. People laugh or make their comments, all be it jokingly or whatever. Not everyone shares the same point of view or opinions on situations that fit into your or others "little box" of what's "acceptable" or "true". Thank God for that. My support and love for the Bills has never diminished, even though at times I feel frustrated with the things that are going on and speak out of that frustration. I get hammered for being more optimistic than alot of others at times on this board. For you to try to compare some one, or anyone for that matter, to a person "stealing from church poor boxes" is one of the most idiotic things I've ever seen typed. To question some one's opinion or thoughts is one thing, but to link them with some one of a terribly low moral character because of a statement about a football franchise is another. You're right about the representation thing though. I surely don't categorize people in non-rational way that you do apparrently.

Highly-regarded Cal center Alex Mack won’t be able to endure the rigors of the NFL scouting combine this week due to a sprained ankle he suffered Monday, NFL Network’s Adam Schefter reports.Mack is considered one of the top interior offensive line prospects in the draft and has been projected as a first-round pick by many draft analysts.
Now, Mack will be limited to the meet-and-greet aspect of the scouting combine, which is also important in the mass job interview that will go on in Indianapolis this week. Mack said he’ll rehab his injury and prepare for his Pro Day in Berkeley, Calif., on March 18.
“While preparing for the combine on Monday with my trainer, I suffered a sprained ankle,” Mack said. “The injury isn’t serious, but unfortunately, it is going to keep me from working out this week in Indianapolis.
“No one is more disappointed than me, as I have been working tirelessly to further prove myself as a first-round pick. However, I don’t want to perform at anything less than 100 percent.”
Does this hurt his stock at all? Does it even matter? Seems like a pretty tough break to "sprain" your ankle 3 days before the NFL Combine. It could work to our benefit though, if another guy happens to shine and grab Philly or Miami's eye. They seem like our main competition if we are to try to get the best Center in the draft.

He would almost certainly supplant Orton as the starter in Chicago who didn't really do more than manage the team, at best. Now they just have to get some WR's to throw the ball to.

I'd really like to start getting guys from winning programs rather than average palyers on crappy trams. And didn't we have Orien Harris and cut him?
I also thought we had Corey Mays at one point too. Isn't he the guy we got from NO in the trade for one of our TE's? Right after that, I believe he got a DUI or something. It was an ND LB, I remember that much.

The Bills starting 4-0 next year is about as likely as JP making the HOF.
That said, yes, Lynch would get his job back because it would be the wrong thing to do... and this organization loves setting the example for what NOT to do.
-
Wow, the Broncos have absolutely gutted their entire defense.
And that gutting has freed up over $20 million for them in cap room.
-
He was pretty accurate for the most part on all of the players he broke down. There's a few that he called busts that are good player thus far and players that he had expectations for that haven't panned out yet. He is more "spot on" than most other writers I can remember reading.

There's word coming out of Detroit that Dante Culpepper will be the starter next year in Detroit. Now we have the restructuring of his deal. I think it means that they're not going to select a QB with the #1 overall pick. I think that they're going to go with an OT, Crabtree, Jenkins, Curry, or Raji. I have a feeling that they just might be targeting Josh Freeman from Kansas St. with their second 1st round selection. If the Lions don't go QB with the 1st pick, I think it will mess up alot of people's draft boards. It would make things very different as opposed to what most are thinking through the top 10.
-
allowing crabtree to fall to us @ 11? i now think he'll be there @ 11 anyway. Maclin is too good. his 40 time alone will bump Crabtree
Yeah
I hope it does, right into our lap. I'd be running around with excitement like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjco3boDZ7A if we got Crabtree

He was a guy that I was hoping we might land in FA. He plays the game with a chip on his shoulder.

Anyone ever heard of the the phrase abbreviated with the letters "CYA"?

I wore my Lynch jersey just yesterday. Had a couple of people hold their hand up like they were pointing a gun and laugh. I thought it was pretty funny as well
-
Dead on he is
-
i don't think this OTW material, i think this Wall material
But I can see Boldin coming here, due to caponomics.
Yeah
I forgot what section I was in. I usually spend most of my time on TSW. Sorry -

Awesome draft. I don't have much on Troy Nolan. What do you know about him? Would he be FS or SS?
He can play either position. He makes plays as evidenced by his 5 TD's(4 INT's and 1 FR) in 2 seasons on defense at Arizona St. He was a Juco transfer. He had 10 INT's in his 2 years at ASU. He's also started 25 straight games after being redshrited in '06.

I've seen the guy play alot being in VA. We get almost all of the Maryland, UVA, VT, UNC, and NC State games in our "region". I know the guy is good in coverage. He had 7 picks and 5 more deflections. Some say he isn't going to time that well in the 40 and he's not as agile as other prospects, but he obviously makes plays. I know he had a key pass break-up against my team, ND, in the last couple minutes of the 4th quarter that cost us what would've been a first down to keep the drive going.

Jones hasn't really done anything in the NFL except get hurt all the time (ok, except the game he ran all over the Bills a few years ago). He hasn't had an exceptional season since he left Virginia Tech. There has to be a reason why no one else wants him, his last injury was a pretty serious one. I say, if we want some depth at RB, bring in Fred Taylor. He would be great depth, and if (and when) Lynch gets suspended, he can give Fred Jackson a breather. Beside, Fred Taylor was drafted with our pick anyway-Gee, who got the best of that trade, Jax got Taylor and other picks, and we got Rob Johnson.
And Taylor hasn't been injury prone over the years?

that was not the lowdown on Mack for the Senior Bowl Practices, He was the consensus Best all around Center Hands down by most of the Draft gurus during the Senior Bowl. If you look back at some of the threads, you'll see the commentary. In some of those commentary's, they said that the only center that was able to handle Raji on at least some plays was Mack.
I checked back and they said he struggled at times with Raji then it said "but who didn't struggle against Raji at times". I'm sorry, I seem to have gotten him confused with Max Unger. Alex Mack, Max Unger, what can I say? Unger seemed to have gotten abused by a few of the DT's. I read where it said that Mack separated himself from the rest of the pack for the most part. I wouldn't be destroyed if we take him. We just need a REALLY GOOD Center that can handle all these big NT's we face.

I suggested this a long time ago. I said we should bring him in at SS and move Whitner to FS. I think it would work out well for both players and our secondary would be that much better.
