  1. So you wouldn't take Ellis or Dorsey if they were to fall? Just askin'......... <_< Are you telling me Harvey wouldn't be an improvement? There is no such thing as having an "abundance" of talent in the trenches. I don't care what your other needs are. Quality DL makes your secondary better and an outstanding OL makes your QB, WR and RB better.

     

    There isn't a WR in this class that would even remotely make the Bills better than a trench guy. You can EASILY fill your desire for a WR in round 2 or later. Next!

    How does D-line make you not 30th in points scored?

  2. I understand that Fantasy "Managers" wouldn't notice the lack of DTs in the span you've chosen above, but it's there for anyone who can grasp what the better teams in the league have been doing. Most of the top team spend substantial amounts of their top pick equity in their defensive interiors. You see a list of picks, the trend for anyone not obsessed with the offensive side of the football is that there is not a commitment to the DL by Detroit or Buffalo, as we see among the best tesm in the league.

     

    Now feel free to get back to your inane conversation about which 2nd round talent WR you insist is our best choice at the 11th spot of the draft. And make sure to sign on with a couple of your 2 and 3 post aliases to convince yourself that there's someone else out there as daft as you are.

    Last time i checked, our D-Line was fine. Only an idiot would draft at a position he is already deep at; when he was much more glaring needs.... like scoring 10 touchdowns last season.

  3. Before anyone takes this literal just consider what could result from it. If the Bills felt that the money would be just too much to sign Evans to an extension, or that he doesn't want to, then Buffalo could tag him next year and then trade him to another team. Buffalo would save money, and we all know how much we enjoy this mentality, and would be able to recoup our 1st rder that we used to get into the 1st rd again this year. I wouldn't suggest doing this just to get back into the end of the rd this year but if it could get the Bills into the late teens/early twenties and for a player that they really coveted then I would be for it. I think the Bills really do want to retain Evans but if he overprices himself or Buffalo is trying to shed themselves of the last remnants of the Donahoe Era, then make it count now.

     

    Now if this hypothetical scenario pisses you off then let me really put you over the edge. If this were to ever happen with this second 1st rder, I still wouldn't want the Bills to use it on a wide receiver but instead on our OL. I think that getting OL Branden Albert would pay huge dividends for years to come.

    This mentality of "shedding players from the donahoe era" is complete BS.... you don't get rid of players just because of when they were drafted.

  4. no its not - four justices (Alito, Roberts, Scalia, and THomas) will likely find that the D.C. reg violates the 2nd amendment. Four justices (Ginsberg, Beyer, Souter, and stevens) will likely find that the regulation was a reasonably necessary restriction within the city's powers that serves an important interest.

     

    That leaves Kennedy as a "swing vote" and nobody knows where he sits on this issue.

    "A majority of the Supreme Court indicated a readiness yesterday to settle decades of constitutional debate over the meaning of the Second Amendment by declaring that it provides an individual right to own a gun for self-defense."

     

    "Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, often the deciding vote on the divided court, was next. "In my view," he said, "there's a general right to bear arms quite without reference to the militia either way."

     

    Kennedy expressed, at least three times during the argument, his disbelief that the Framers had not been also concerned about the ability of "the remote settler to defend himself and his family against hostile Indian tribes and outlaws, wolves and bears and grizzlies and things like that.""

  5. Let me explain it for you.

     

    The Giants didn't waste any of THEIR high first-rounder on a WR. They spent their first rounders fortifying other positions, and managed to get their #1 receiver in free agency. Same goes for the Patriots.

     

    The point is, WR is a position that's relatively easy to strengthen outside the draft. Other positions aren't.

    At least you and Matt Millen agree.

    Matt Millen drafts WR's when he already has multiple first round WR's on his team. The difference is that the Bills do not have any good WR's outside Evans, the Bills also fortified their OL/DL/LB's already.

  6. I agree Ellis would start the year as a backup. But to say he won't be ANYWHERE near McCargo's level I think is a pretty optimistic view of McCargo's ability. I agree that McCargo will be a much better player next year, but Ellis is a monster. Every level he has played at, he has dominated. Including at the Senior Bowl. I think it would be accurate to predict that Ellis will have a similar rookie year to Amobi Okoye.

    Rookie vs DT who showed flashes of greatness.... hmmm i wonder who will be better?
