The Cincinnati Kid

Alvin Bowen is going to be a stud on ST for us. He looks like a great Kick-off and Punt Cover guy. Big guy with speed who was a tackle machine in college. He is my pick.

He played OK but I am still not sold. I think he has a lot of potential, but this Bills team needs to win now. We have a playoff team on paper.

Jimbo drives a white truck...

I do not think that this guy, or any one who enrolls at the Armed Forces Academies wants to get out of their service. I think that most of the people who are saying the guy just wants to keep playing football are right. He just wants to knock some heads off. I am sure that he wants to serve the USA the best he can, and if the best way for him to serve the contry is play in the NFL with the Bills or another team and then recruit for West Point Football and be in the active reserves, then thats the best way for him to serve the contry. There are guys doing all sorts of jobs in the Army in Iraq that are not on the front lines being shot at all day. A buddy of mine is building runways in Iraq right now (well maybe not at the moment because its after sundown over there). There are lots of ways for a kid in the Army to serve the Army. If this guy's calling in the serve the Army in this fashion then by all means Mr. Viti, do it up! I don't think it has anything to do with not wanting to honor his contract like the guys of the old days (Staubach).

too bad Roscoe didnt get his cousin's height...

I just think that having another top flight (hopefully) corner opposite McGee will really help him. Also, McKelvin looks like a guy who can return just as well as McGee, and I think that putting him back there would benefit McGee. I do like the idea of having both of them back there with maybe Jackson or Omon as the initial upback. I think that would give the Bills a solid return game (not that it isn't solid already). We'll see what will happen.

McKelvin will really halp McGee this season and into the future. McGee, unfortunately is not a true No. 1 CB in this league. He is like a 1b or an exceptional No. 2. With the addition of McKelvin, McGee certainly returns to the level of play he was having opposite Clements. I think that our CB position has been solidified for some time. Also, McKelvin takes McGee away from the KRs, which I think is a good thing for McGee's needed improvement in the pass defense.

Agreed

I agree, we really upgraded through this draft and the FA offseason. I like what is happening in Buffalo... I fear the eternal optimist in me though...

Got to put that ball in the other hand...

This draft was a good draft for the Bills, but I think that the initial post is correct. LOTS OF ST PLAYERS.

NO.... I dont want to use our first 4th on this guy

I was surprised that no WRs were taken in the first, and none of the "Big 3" were the first WR taken...

Glad we picked him. His highlight video on BB.com is unreal. I just watched and said "Holy Schitt!" Speechless really. He is good. Real Good.

Ehh... I dont like it....

I want a trade down, and I think we are in good position to do that. 11 is a coveted spot in this draft, so I think that a trading partner will be there when we get on the clock, or near it. I dont want to fall too far back though. Maybe 18th is the cut off for me.

So Funny!

If this guy is such a genius, why doesnt he try and be a GM and actually make the damn picks... I would like to see that so we could all watch his dumbass fail! He pisses me off. Get a haircut, jackass!

Where the heck is Andre Reed on that list?

We also own two of the top ten best of all time...

I like this choice if the Bills make it. He is a big guy with great speed and will help this team. I, unlike many here, think that WR is our biggest need by FAR and taking Thomas at 11 would be good for me. I believe that if the top 10 picks shake out right, like it says at the bottom of the article, then the Bills would be a great position to move down into the lower teens or the early 20's while picking up a later round pick as well. If thats the case then i think the Bills will make that move, because 11 is not the ideal spot for us to be picking at this year.

Matt Ryan

I'm in college and we are having our annual 40 Keg Pig Roast on Saturday. I am sure I'll be able to watch, but not sure I'll be able to remember. Someone call me, I bet I'll be able to make you laugh! Soberly I think we should trade the 11th for Chad Johnson. Peace

I would have Chad any day of the week. The guy can flat out play and he usually brings with him positive media attention. He almost single handedly put the Bengals back on the map with his fun-loving and carefree antics. He might be disgruntled at the moment, but I really think that CJ in a Bills uniform would be excellent for the club and for revenue line. I would give up the no. 11 for him straight up...hes that good. I would try for CJ and a 5th for No. 11 but I wouldnt cry if they wouldnt do it. I say bring him and and let JP and Trent battle it out in July and August with some talent at the WR position.

I cannot stand Phil Simms. He is an arrogant idiot. I can't believe that he is the No. 1 for CBS. It makes me glad the Bills are a 2nd or 3rd tier team sometimes when I am forced to listen to Simms. He should be shown the door too, IMO.
