You maroon!! It went to OT!!

Yes, the key would be the versatility you'd have a with a TE like Davis. The Bills offense has tended to be pretty predictable over the last few years. Think of the use of the TE similar to the blitzing defense we've had. From play to play there's the unknown of which players could be involved in a pass play. Just like with the defense where another team wouldn't know if the blitz was coming from an outside LB or a corner, you could have the two TEs that were both good at blocking and receiving. One one play, one TE goes out on a pattern while the other stays in to block. On another play they reverse roles. We don't know how the current team management will look at things but I would like them to go for versatility and an impact player with the 8th pick. I would also like the idea of drating Huff. Think of some of the top defenses and their top players. Pittsburgh , for instance, has Troy Polamalu at strong safety. He's an excellent player that brings a lot of versatility. He can come up to support the run, blitz on a definite passing down and also get back into coverage. I''m not very familar with Huff but if that's the kind of player he is, he could help the defense tremendously. It seems the Bills management had determined that Lawyer Milloy may have given them the run suport and blitzing abilities but he wasn't very goo d in pass coverage. Takeo Spikes gives the Bills the same type of player at LB, as he also is effective whether it's in pass coverage, blitzing or supporting the run.

People always become critical of the GM when a draft pick doesn't pan out. It is not an exact science, however. The pick of Flowers was a bad choice, but only because he was taken with a late first round pick. If I remember correctly, the general consensus was that he was a late 2nd round or 3rd round pick. The Bills (Wade Phillips) were wowed by him at the Combine and "reached" to take him. This didn't necessarily have much to do with John Butler and the scouts. All of the NFL teams have reps at the Combine and their overall lists are about the same. They could have different opinions about a player based on their needs, how they'd fit on their teams and what came out of the interviews. So, again, the worst you can say about the Bills' selection of Flowers is that they took him too early. Had they not taken him, another team would've a little later in the draft. He just didn't make it as an NFL player. You can apply this same logic to the drafting of Mike WIlliams with the 4th pick in the draft. On everybody's board, he was rated high. Had the Bills not taken him at #4, he would've been taken at #5 or sometime soom after. He just turned out to be a bust with the Bills. You can't really blame TD for picking him.

I like the idea. While there are no real good excuses for the way the defense played last year, they could've been better if the offense did more. So, by drafting Davis, maybe keeping Moulds is not as big of a deal. If Moulds is kept, what offensive potential!!

LOL!!! The 1st one was a sign that said: "Dont't Drink and Drive" which included the misspelling. The 2nd was a ground level grave marker with the name: "DUMFART"

Let's try this one, which now is a little appropriate.

Duh, now it shows but obviously it wasn't a good choice anyways as it's illegible at this size. Back to the "drawing board".

I tried to setup a picture for an Avatar and it still doesn't show up when I post. After my initial try, I shrunk down the size. It showed up in the Controls section when I updated it with the reduced image but still won't show up when I post. Any suggestions??

Generally, it's "Those that can't, coach. Those that can, why tarnish your image!"

I.Bruce has been very injury-prone. Things like turf toe and hamstrings that linger for weeks. I don't know if he can be counted on. I'd rather keep Moulds.

Runyan isn't on the list at all??

If TD was still GM, that would be a good possibility. Doh!!!

AVP of TSW reports Leo Roth could be right on some of these reports. Of course, he could also be wrong.

Sounds like someone TD would've picked. He drafted a few players (McGahee for one) coming off injuries.

In my opinion, the way the NFL CBA works out could have a huge impact on the Bills. If they don't come up with a new agreement and 2007 has no salary cap, how many attractive free agents does anyone see coming to a Bills organization that hasn't been winning and been in somewhat of a disarray, when the sky's the limit on salaries?? You might still have a couple cheapo organizations, but we know the likes of Snyder, Jerry Jones, Paul Allen and the like will probably throw out the cash freely. I don't think the Bills would be able to compete.

And Bennie came to the Bills from the Bengals so they wouldn't be likely to want him back.

Didn't Ted play for him in Chicago??

Wait a minute. Why is everybody saying it's too good to be true?? JP was a middle to late 1st round pick. The Bills would be trading the 8th pick in this year's draft and a former 1st round pick (in essence two 1st round picks) to move up just 6 spots to number 2. That would be too much to give up in my opinion. So getting an additional 3rd and 4th round pick would just even it out.

Also, remember that a 3rd round pick was used on Kevin Everett last draft.

Good list. I think the Bills can get a decent replacement for Moulds from that bunch. Jurivicieus anyone??

gone?? Isn't one of the New England receivers about to be a free agent??

You sure it wasn't Steve Martin??

I want him to stay if a better cap friendly contract can be worked out. We all saw what happened when Pierce was traded away and there wasn't anybody decent to replace him at the time. Despite his diminishing skills, his knowledge of the game is a big plus to keep around. If he refuses to restructure his contract, then they have to decide if they can find a decent replacement at a lower cost.
