Albany,n.y.

Seacrest told Scotty last night he's never been in the bottom 2. I don't know what that means about last week, but on the dial idol predictions based on busy signal monitoring Scotty has been way ahead the last few weeks.

The last Jets' Coach who showed up on TV was Mangini, who was in an episode of the Sopranos & then got whacked by the Jets. Ryan should GET to the Super Bowl before he makes any guarantees of winning it.

I went to their site. I guess either Walt Cherepinsky or Matt McGuire wrote the draft grades. My guess is it's Matt. After reviewing Matt's mock, it's pretty easy to see he doesn't know anything. He's about the only guy who had a mock where Darius fell to number 10 and medical risk Bowers was ahead of him at #4. Of course, he had us picking Newton at 3. He also had Gabbert at 5 & Locker at 7, so he would have loved for us to pick one of those 3 QBs that he rated higher than his #10 pick-a guy nobody else had out of the top 5, and many had at #1. http://www.walterfootball.com/draft2011matt.php

I find it weird that in his introductory press conference, Nix went out of his way to point out he's not enamored by 1 year wonders, then we find out he was enamored by a 1 year wonder QB-the most dangerous player to pick among 1 year wonders. The only thing I can get out of what he said earlier, was that he was trying to say he wasn't responsible for the Maybin pick, and he really doesn't have a standard against 1 year wonders. The fact that Nix has contradicted himself about a basic draft philosophy is worrisome.

I didn't like any of the QBs, so I didn't mind not reaching for one this year. The lack of any proven OTs or TEs worries me & makes me realize that Nix & Gailey are working on a 3 year plan towards respectibility and this is only year 2.

They're letting him come to camp because although they have him slated for waterboy, they hope he turns into Bobby Boucher.

Whitner & Florence seemed resigned to their fates.

This is a really stupid post, no nice way to say it. So, if the Bills had used their 1st pick on a QB during Jim Kelly's prime, Joe Ferguson's prime, or Jack Kemp's prime, you would have been happier than getting a player who could contribute? So, if in 5 years Darius is a pro bowler and none of the 3 1st round QBs available has amounted to anything, would it have been better that the Bills picked one of them instead of Darius, so that you'd be happier in April 2011?

Third rounders don't usually come from guys who fall out of the 1st, but 2nd rounders who were projected as 1sters do. And the best 3rd rounder Joe Montana who wasn't projected as a 1st. Also in 1973 both Dan Fouts & Joe Ferguson were 3rd rounders. Mallett will not be joining them on walls or halls of fame. Here are projected 1st rounders who fell to the 2nd & were franchise QBs. Not many, but there were some. Drew Brees (top of 2nd, but still 2nd) Brett Favre Boomer Esiason

I didn't watch it much because of the draft, but I read somewhere that this week there was no bottom 3 and the safe people were selected at random. So if this is true there's a good chance Scotty was not in the bottom 3 and the only one we know who was is Casey.

I agree & disagree. Yes, I believe that you can't chase picks and overreach for a franchise QB. I didn't see any worth it this year. I totally disagree with the good QB theory. I could care less if the Bills win 10 games a year for the next 10 years and never sniff the Super Bowl-that's what your good QB gets you. I want the team to win the Super Bowl. 8 of the last 10 Super Bowl winners were QB'd by a franchise QB, 9 if you count Eli Manning. Even the majority of Super Bowl losers the past decade were QB'd by a franchise QB. You don't reach, but you also don't stay satisfied with Fitzpatrick for the next decade either. We will need a franchise QB sooner or later if we want to get in & win a Super Bowl. Good QBs make the playoffs & exit early. Great QBs win championships.

Mallett 2011 = Clausen 2010 Get over it Mallett heads, odds are Belichick didn't outsmart everyone in the league this time.

We'll probably sign that FA from the Giants-Jamon Meredith

Right again

Well, you're halfway to the ledge right now. The mentality that you have to keep drafting DBs continues. Next up another DB or another RB.

More like Carolina got the crap sandwich in the 2nd round last year & realizes it.

If Steve Serby is right in his analysis, we should be glad Blane Gabbert wasn't our pick. Here's Serby's take: 10. JAGUARS Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri: Apparently Mike Shanahan wasn’t intoxicated by watching a 6-foot-5 QB running a spread offense as Captain Checkdown. http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/more_sports/first_round_analysis_c8XE4ma9puvCgzAilmFXWN

What if they believe nobody available is better than Fitz & there is no franchise guy out there to develop? The best thing to do is go with what you have, bring in a backup QB for this season without the idea of grooming him into your future starter, and get the franchise QB when one with a lot more potential than the bums out there in 2011 becomes available. It might take years, because drafting a guy wishing he's a franchise QB doesn't make him one. We all heard the cries for Clausen last year at #9 because we didn't have a franchise QB & so far passing on him looks like the right decision. You can only acquire guys who are available and there are years when nobody is available better that what you've already got. Getting one of the Smiths or Clausen is no better than the Brohm folly was. That's especially true of A.Smith & Clausen. No QB in the modern era who was drafted high & jettisoned, with the exception of Kerry Collins who was let go due to a drinking problem at the time of his release, has ever amounted to anything much with any subsequent team he landed with. All those 1st & 2nd round busts never became the guy with a change in scenery.

That can change quickly if we draft a corner and safety with our 2 picks tonight.

TO & Chad old, going, going, gone. Yes, they needed a receiver.

I don't buy it. Nevergiveup > ESPN

This draft will haunt us for years-because there will be so many 1st round QB busts that the Negative Nancys will warn us against ever drafting a QB using this year as evidence of the danger of 1st round QBs. This year's draft will be a textbook example of QB reaches. It is not the norm to have this many reaches just because teams have voids at QB. None of these 4 guys should have been 1st round picks. If any more get drafted we could see an 0 for 5 or 0 for 6 QB hit in the 2011 draft. I'm glad all these potential 2nd round Bills mistakes are off the board.

Trent Edwards was better than Jamarcus Russell the year Russell went #1. Did it really matter?

We draft the 5th best player at #3. A couple of years ago we drafted the real "Mr. Irrelevant" with the 11th pick in the draft.

I thought they reached it earlier today when they had reports from the 1st 5 draft cities-Except Buffalo. Now they have Dr. Phil talking about the effects of a kid receiving a multi-million $ contract.
