Thank you. I can't believe how many people are THRILLED about going heavy on D, and want more, more, more of the same. That's great, as long as you're not forced to watch the games. How about an offense that can chain together multiple first downs on a fairly consistent basis? Or one that can SCORE AN OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN MORE THAN ONCE A GAME. That's not too much to ask. If you're going to suck, which describes the Bills for the last 10 years and also next year, can't you at least be entertaining in the process? Those crappy Bledsoe teams were at least fun to watch. Watching this team the last few years, I wanted to blow my brains out in the 2nd half of almost every game. Even some of the wins were soul-draining and pure agony to watch for most of the game. I just don't get it. These people are fantasizing about rebuilding the 2000 Ravens. That's the fantasy? The best you can imagine? Not the 70s Steelers (HoF QB), 80s 49ers (HoF QB), 90s Bills or Cowboys (HoF QBs), or 2000s Patriots or Colts (Future HoF QBs)? No, let's aim for a team that's unwatchable on one side of the ball, and hope we pick up a Trent Dilfer type who can complete 1 long pass a game. Oh wait, I forgot: We've got THE PLAYMAKER now. Spiller will be good for 1-2 touchdowns a game all by himself. He's so fast that our crappy OTs will play really well! And stacking the box won't work against him, because have you seen his 40 time? I take it back, our offense will be gangbusters.

Gotta be BPA, whether that be RB, CB, or S. Under no circumstances can you reach even 1 spot for the most important position on the field. Or the second-most.

Hey, who among us hasn't had sex with... wait, who? Jesus Christ! What is wrong with that guy?! Seriously though, he was a teenager & very stupid, but everything was consensual, and he's not a "sex offender" as far as I'm concerned. Seems like a good player.

There's about a 5% chance of making it for QBs drafted this late. Meh. If they draft one, whatever, but don't expect anything out of him.

I'll take that bet. What kind of odds do you want?

I agree. The Bills' plan of only committing late-round and undrafted resources to the OT position has worked like gangbusters for the last 5 years, so why change course now? The message this draft has sent so far is that the offense was 1 "playmaker" away, but the defense needed a lot of work. Half right.

Well, unless Spiller gets around 2,000 yards from scrimmage, it looks like another year of horrible offense and mediocre defense. Should be about as exciting as we're accustomed to.

Wow, passing up OT again. I guess they really think Demetrius Bell is a good NFL starter at this point, and Jamon Meredith is a good NFL backup. They're wrong, unfortunately. Carrington wouldn't be a bad pick if there was zero quality available at OT, or if we already had something at OT. Can anyone honestly say that depth at DE behind Stroud/Edwards/Johnson/Kyle Williams some of the time is more important than depth at OT behind Bell/Green/Meredith/Chambers?

Hmm, Green Bay gets in front of us, but for whom?

I'd be cool with either one. Neither's likely to be a good starter this year, but maybe down the road...

I guess so! Edwin Veldheer? Did I miss this guy on all the pre-draft rankings, or was this a crazy pick by Al Davis? I don't think I've ever heard of any "Edwin Veldheer," and frankly, it sounds made-up.

Oakland's already passed on Campbell's record 40 time twice, can they do it again?

Yeah, and the Saints stayed bad for so long by making dumb moves. Now they've got smart people running the show and making smart moves. I'm mostly judging the Bills based on past performance right now. Troup might turn out to be an awesome pick, or a complete bust, or anywhere in between. I just know that in the NFL, QB is #1 and LT is #2, and the Bills have done zero at either position this offseason. And now we're getting to late enough in the draft that you can't expect much help even if they do start addressing either position. I'm just not seeing much of a plan in terms of building a winner. Who is going to play QB? Who is going to play LT? We have nothing but bums at both positions right now. I'll change my tune when the Bills start winning.

At this point, it's getting to where I no longer want Bruce Campbell at all. If there's this much of a consensus that he's not a high pick despite having the best workout/measurements in OL combine history, then isn't he almost guaranteed to be a bust? I don't trust the Bills' front office alone, but I do trust the combined wisdom of all 32 front offices. Guys in the NFL always fall in love with the physical freaks and think they can "coach 'em up." So if the ultimate physical freak at LT is falling this far, it's pretty damning. Whatever, I'll still be happy if they grab him. But I've drastically lowered my expectations. Anything positive that guy produces will be a pleasant surprise.

Man, Chris Mortensen is the balls. Just tweeted that the Saints take "Donald Brown".

This is how good teams stay good, and bad teams stay bad. New Orleans takes Charles Brown because Brown's coming off an injury and Bushrod is so-so at best. Great pick by them. Bad job by many teams (us included) in passing on him in the late first or second.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....

We'll see if he's got the speed to get to the outside edge, which has been the weakness of Patriots LBs in recent years. Except for Mayo.

Hmm, Jets go Ducasse, mild surprise. Most project him as RT or OG, so this seems to be a replacement for Alan Faneca. I'll allow it.

I can see the writing on the wall, even if I don't like it. But I'd rather just cut Lynch than trade him for McCoy. McCoy in Buffalo is as close to a guaranteed bust as I can conceive, and also has a negative presence, because it makes us less likely to draft a real QB next year. I'm not big on any of the remaining QBs - LeFevour is basically McCoy without the stacked team around him and maybe a slightly better arm, with Skelton's measurables, if he was any good, he'd be a 1st-rounder, etc., but none of them have the name recognition of McCoy. It's hard to justify passing on Jake Locker or Ryan Mallett because you've still got Dan LeFevour on the roster.

So Seattle takes Golden Tate, which is fine by me. Next 2 teams are very unlikely to go OT. Everyone after that has a decent chance. Dunno if either Brown or Campbell makes it to #70.

Clausen's a douche. Only way I could root for that guy is if he was my QB. Same with Philip Rivers.

I'm one of the few who still likes Lynch. But Lynch for Charles Brown right here would make me happy. Lynch for Bruce Campbell would be intriguing. Lynch for Colt McCoy would put me on suicide watch.

First Montario off the board. Hopefully not the last.

Browns moving up, hopefully for McCoy. Although as much as McCoy will suck, he'll probably still be an upgrade over Delhomme.
