  1. Not only a mullet, but a skullet! You know, those guys with mullets that are bald on top.
  2. I'm guessing they don't want to draft a WR at 11 and are thinking of trading down, and this guy will be there when they do.
  3. We should Genetically engineer the ultimate Quarterback, T.J. Loswards!!! muahahahahahah
  4. I nominate Equilibrium is one of my favorite movies ever.
  5. Rd 1.If Adrian Peterson is gone at 12, Buffalo may consider taking a risk on Cal RB Marshawn Lynch here. If not, look for the Bills to plug holes left by London Fletcher-Baker and Takeo Spikes at linebacker. Keith Ellison and Angelo Crowell will likely start at the outside linebacker spots next season, but who's going to man the middle? Willis makes the most sense. The SEC Defensive Player of the Year in '06, Willis was a standout in Mobile at the Senior Bowl and a top collegiate performer his entire tenure at Ole Miss. The Butkus Award winner, he recorded 137 tackles and had three sacks in his senior season in Oxford. A complete package that goes sideline-to-sideline, Willis will pay immediate dividends for Buffalo. Dick Jauron is a defensive guy and Marv Levy has a history of drafting defensive players in the first round. This makes sense. Rd. 2 Brian Leonard Rd. 3 A Michael Okwo LB Rd. 3 B Mike Walker WR Rd. 4 Dustin Fry C
  6. He is essentially a rookie that has spent a year working with our coaching staff. He has the physical tools, so I'd rather have him over a 2nd or 3rd round corner just because of that extra year. I would take david irons if we don't draft kenny, but it seems like it would be good for a young running back to feel more comfortable.
  7. I'm comfortable with Youboty, the guy would probably have been a 1st or 2nd round pick if he had come out this year. Plus, he has a year of working with our coaching staff. If we end up drafting Kenny Irons I would not be opposed to drafting David Irons in the later rounds as a back up.
  8. After earning spot duty as a true freshman in 2003, Youboty started to make a name for himself as a sophomore. Once he moved into the starting lineup, he flashed the big play ability to be the next corner standout at Ohio St. On the season he picked off four passes and finished with 61 tackles. He earned all conference honors this year after positing 56 tackles, six for loss, with a sack and an interception. There is not a single physical skill Youboty lacks. He has good size for a corner, is athletic, has good speed, and is strong. He is one of the more active corners in the draft. In coverage, he will go up and make a play on the ball. He's also not afraid to attack the ball carrier and make plays in the running game. He is at his best going man up, covering the receiver off the line of scrimmage. He has the size and strength to take them out of their rhythm, and the athleticism to turn and cover. Right now, he still needs work. Even though he has good size, he will need to pack on a few pounds to handle the rigors of the NFL. He relies more on his athletic talents right now. He is solid in man coverage, but doesn't always make the correct read when asked to play in space. He has less than two full season of starting experience at the college level. Ashton Youboty is a very solid corner prospect. He is not an elite physical specimen, but he has all the talent to be a starting corner in the NFL. He's not the type you want to give a starting job to right away, but with some work, he has a chance to be a very good starting cornerback. There is no true shut down corner in this draft, so Youboty could hear his name called as high as any real corner in this draft. With good workouts, he could crack the end of the first round, but he probably fits more into the second or third round range. This article has a lot of good to say about him, IMO we don't need to draft a CB in the first few rounds.
  9. Character is now a Top 3 issue for most teams, who wants to draft a guy who will be suspended for a season?
  10. Am i missing something? We run a cover two... its best to have a top safety with the cover 2.

  12. This is one of the better draft guides you can get, its made by Jerry Jones with the help of: Len Pasquarelli, Kirk Herbstreit, Bill Walsh, The BB QB club, Sam Wyche, Dick LaBeau, and Larry Felser. One thing that caught my eye is that they had Jason Peters as a late 2nd to early 3rd draft pick.. They can evaluate talent
  13. What do they know? They said the same thing about our draft.
  14. ............... scroll down the list of threads
  15. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jc-c...o&type=lgns McGahee didn't spend any time in Buffalo last offseason learning the new playbook under coach Dick Jauron. The Bills are expecting more of the same this offseason. "Willis literally didn't know what to do on the plays," a source said. "After the play was called, we'd have another coach signaling to Willis what to do because he didn't know. He'd miss blocks [in pass protection] a few times, not because he was beat, but because he didn't know what he was doing. "He just doesn't study. … His teammates noticed it, and it affected how they viewed him in the locker room." McGahee missed two games last season and rushed for a career-low 990 yards. He averaged 3.8 yards per carry last season and has averaged 3.9 for his career Idiots for trading this guy?
  16. Anyone know where i can find it? I have some Jets fan telling me how the Jet's schedule was "SOO MUCH HARDER THAN the Billz LOL".
  17. What would you be willing to give up for Briggs? I would be willing to give a 1st round pick... and maybe TKO.
  18. Based on Walker's sack totals, it seems like he has a problem with speed rushers. He is a better fight at guard then, IMO.
  19. Gandy should never play in the NFL again, this guy was horrible. 12.5 sacks allowed.
  20. I'm convinced the bills are going after a LB in the draft, they could have landed LFB easily.... if they wanted him. With them shopping Spikes it's a no brainer that they will try to draft a LB. Prediction: Patrick Willis since he can actually make a tackle at the line of scrimmage (unlike LFB)
  21. Yah... but this guy allowed 9 more sacks than peters last year. If you are a good lineman you do not play horrible with bad people around you. Peters had a bad supporting cast but he was brilliant.
  22. This must be a depth move, because he allowed 11 sacks last year.
  23. Honestly, I think McGahee is a very good back, BUT we cannot keep him. There is a big rift between the management and him... so at this point he is gone. I think that if we upgrade our line he could have gotten 1500 yards and 10-14 TD's next season. Alas, it sucks about his attitude problem...
  24. I said he was on the road to becoming a bust.
  25. WJ was horrible last season. Apparently, he had some ankle injury... he shouldn't have even played. D'Brick is on the road to being a bust though.
