Albany,n.y.

If the Bills think they're getting a difference maker then they make the trade. Think it's too much? Well let's go back to the Bennet trade: 2 #1s, a #2 & their #1 from 2 years before (G. Bell). That was a 4 for 1 trade for a player they felt could disrupt things on D. Nobody said Polian was nuts for making that trade.

The biggest steal in draft history was 4th string his rookie year and barely got on the field except for pregame warmups.

Decay Metcalf.

Manuel: Virtually everyone on the planet except Nix & Whaley knew the class of 2013 was the worst QB class since 2007, but instead of resisting the urge and waiting another year the dynamic duo of Nix & Whaley had to take a QB. It doesn't matter if they got a #2 for trading down, they blew the pick by taking a QB, period. No QB was worthy of a 1st round grade. Ironically, Matt Barkley, our current backup was in that draft.

If he really wants to do what is in the best interest of the team he'd resign and take crazy eyes with him. One more Gase:

Bring him to the Bills offices & don't let him out of the building. I mean literally, don't let him out of the building-never let him get on the field.

You don't keep a Ford when you can have a Mercedes.

A hungry baseball team.

He'd still be president, but Don Jr & Eric would be "running things". Also Rex would still be coach because he would have complimented Trump enough to keep his job.

Because Ralph was cheap.

My guess is he's preparing himself for a trade and putting his best foot forward. He was one of the 1st to report for Arizona's off season program & it was a statement that he can handle whatever the future is, in Arizona, or more likely somewhere else. I'm curious what the final deal will be. The last time something like this happened was after Steve Young's 1st 2 seasons in Tampa, the Bucs had the #1 pick and jettisoned Young to SF for 2nd & 4th round picks. They then drafted Heisman Winner Vinny Testaverde. Young is in the HOF, Vinny is not.

Not very often because every time he tried to he got sacked.

I believe the Frankenstein reference was about the late James Hardy.

I'd rather make this trade with the Raiders: Bills #1 & #2 to Raiders for pick #4. Then Beane will have a shot at at least one of the 3 that is left among Bosa, Williams, Allen. Why would we want the Raiders 1st round garbage when we can get the Raiders 1st round treasure?

Super Bowl LIV Champions. Sweatshirts with that slogan go on sale the night of 2/2/20

If it's an update, he'd be wearing a Raiders uniform, not his old Bills one.

I go back & forth and also have WGR on the computer. A few years ago I put 2 TVs in my computer room and had both ESPN and the NFL Network on while also listening to WGR. That's about my limit on multitasking. Back in the old days (in 1997) when ESPN had exclusive coverage I had to visit my parents (because they were having an anniversary party on that Sunday) on draft weekend and since they didn't have cable but lived a half hour from NYC I went to the draft on day 1 since it was my only way of seeing it.

Some, not all busts, are immature kids who cannot handle the demands of being a professional. The best examples are Jamarcus Russell & Ryan Leaf who did not take professionalism seriously. Both were out of shape almost immediately after their final college year ended. Russell was lazy & wouldn't study the playbook-the best story was the Raiders giving him blank tapes & him coming back telling them he watched the film that was on the tape. Leaf was more into himself than a team concept. The best story I heard on Leaf was after he was drafted he went to party in Vegas & when San Diego wanted him to showup for a press conference he told them they'd have to wait until he was done partying. The Leaf story I heard on the radio years ago when a former Charger employee (I forget what title he held or who it was) was asked when did you first get an indication that you made a mistake drafting Leaf. Leaf also showed bad signs at the combine. He came in overweight and blew off interviews with Indy because he didn't want them to draft him. Other guys just don't have the talent to adjust to the speed of the NFL. What makes scouting so tough is that these guys are playing against players who will never play ball again after college. The guys drafted by the NFL are men against boys in college. When it's all men against men they can't get the job done. I place a greater emphasis on games like the Senior Bowl where these players are playing against other players who have a future in the NFL. When all the film on a guy is him playing against future accountants, it's tough to evaluate his pro potential. The best ways to avoid a bust are 1)Talk with the player and those who know him like his coaches before the draft. If he shows any signs of not being totally dedicated to football, don't waste a high pick on him. 2) Don't get too enamored with as physical freak at the combine whose game film doesn't match the athleticism shown there. The best example in draft history is Mike Mamula. 3) Don't draft injury prone players, or guys who project to be so in the NFL. If the guy has missed significant playing time in multiple seasons he may bust in the NFL. The best examples of a player projecting to become injury prone in the NFL are QBs who take a lot of sacks in college because they hold onto the ball too long. A QB who will continuously get sacked more than most other QBs is going to have injury problems in the NFL. The best example is Rob Johnson. When the Bills 1st acquired him I read some scouting reports and one of my 1st posts after the trade was titled "Rob Johnson, The Sacked Man"

You beat me to it. Gregg has a personality that wears thin very quickly, and Gase is no Prince Charming either. Those 2 could be run out of town on a rail, or in the case of being in the NY metro area, on a railroad.

I expect him to do what these 2nd year QBs did Russell Wilson, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, and Kurt Warner (2nd year inn NFL) did. Win the Super Bowl. Another 2nd year QB, Carson Wentz, helped his team get home field before getting hurt and saw his team win the Super Bowl. Or, at worst get to the Super Bowl like Marino & Kaepernick did. That's the thing that 2nd year QBs do in this era-WIN SUPER BOWLS. I expect nothing less from Josh Allen and every Bills fan should anticipate watching the Bills playing in Miami on Ground Hog Day 2020.

The NFL GMs at the end of the 1st round. Sarcasm aside, a ton of mock drafts had the Bills trading up for Josh Allen, but they all had the trade before pick 7.

You don't know that. If Josh Allen progresses as well as many of the best 2nd year QBs have in the past, we very well could be drafting #32 in the 1st round.

I plan on going to games 1 & 2 in NJ. I'll probably take bus trips from a local Albany bus tour company for both games so I don't have to drive & park at Met Life.

I hope this is wrong because I'm supposed to go to the Giants game but I'll be on the other side of the country on 12/1.

Same reason we didn't sign Gerard Phelen when Flutie was here.
