THe article also indicates that Williams has not asked Kelsey about the number.
Williams was not #90 in college. Maybe he does not care what number he wears.
-
Looks like Kelsay will be sticking with #90 as I thought. Link below... I wonder what number Mario will end up going with.

In that article, Kelsey states that he wore #90 his entire career. wasn't Kelsey #92 before he traded with Ryan Denny?

You just have to get lucky with QBs. I would rather the right guy than just any guy.
Look at Green Bay.
In 2003, they wanted Grossman to be the QB of the future. The Bears traded up to take him, Green Bay fans were upset.
In 2004, they wanted Losman to be the QB of the future. The Bills traded up to take him, Green Bay fans were upset.
In 2005, Rodgers fell.
One of these years, a QB that they like will be available at a spot they like. Until then, we can sift around in the dumpster for the next Kurt Warner.

What should Nix have said at the press conference?
1) I gave 10 mil to a guy this off-season, but I think a 7th rounder has a chance to beat him out.
2) I drafted him 3 picks before the end of the draft to see what people on the internet would say.
Like all 7th rounders, to make the team he is going to have to do well in camp and hope he does not get caught up in the 'numbers game' where they decide to keep an extra DB or LB.
-
1) RG3 will be on more pro-bowl teams than play-off teams.
2) Of all of the players that entered the NFL these past few days, none of them is more disappointed than K.Cousins right now.

I like the way the draft worked.
Teams that think they are a player or two away and have depth (Patriots/Cowboys) traded picks to get guys they wanted.
Teams that know they are rebuilding and need many good players (Rams) traded for picks and now they have an opportunity to fill holes.
The Bills have 10 picks - I do not expect all 10 to make the 2012 roster so they do not need more picks in the later rounds.
On the other hand, the Bills are not deep enough to give up a second or third round pick.
The Bills proved this off-season that they will adjust their philosophy when needed.
Look at the way the draft has gone. They have a shot at one of the 2nd tier OTs. Would you rather have Gilmore & Glenn/Martin/Adams or Kalil & nobody.

Burfict will be working for a drug dealer within 36 months, if he is not in jail.

Mayock has correctly guessed every Bills 1st round pick since Whitner.
I would like to see if this claim can be verified.
I have seen information that leads me to believe he predicted neither McKelvin nor Lynch.

Carrington played DE in 4 man fronts last year.
I do not see why they are moving him.
I also thought that in the move to 3-4, Kelsey should have gone back to his combine weight and played DE.
From Buddy's comments, I think the Bills want to go with Williams/Anderson/Kelsey/Merriman as their 4 man rotation at end. If someone gets injured, Carrington may go back to end.

Given what teams are doing with TE's around the league, it's hard to understand the mindset behind not selecting a one. Chandler, Caussin, Brock, and Cinnibun are probably the worst collection of TE's in the NFL and offer very little in the receiving game. Chandler had less than 4 catches or less 11 out of 14 games for a team that threw the ball 578 times last year.
I think nix's comment is more of a statement on the lack of depth for TE in this draft.
If they do not take Fleener @ 41 (if he is there) is there a TE project in the draft with more potential than Onobun?
-
Nix seems to be very tight-lipped about Michael Floyd - and this is the second or third time I've noticed it. He hasn't been that way about any other player. It's also baffling (based on our needs and draft position) that Floyd was not in for a player visit. I think it's a smokescreen.
I think it is the opposite. I think Floyd did not impress Nix in his combine interview.
-
You beat me to it on this one. Very intriguing. Hopefully Buddy tells us who it is after the draft.
He will say it was the person they end up picking.
You do not often hear GMs saying "We wanted Jones but he went two picks before ours."
-
Sounds like Donogue/Modrak's reaction when asked about McGahee.
-
Why would anyone visiting today be last?
They will bring in 30 players.
If Floyd is visiting, he will be the 26th.
Correction, if Floyd is visiting, he will be the 31st and the Bills would be looking at sanctions for violating NFL rules

OJ was traded to the Niners for a pick that turned into Cousineau, who was traded for a first round pick that turned into Jim Kelly, who was in Necessary Roughness with Daryl Cox, who was in JFK with Kevin Bacon...
...who was in Picture Perfect with Olympia Dukakis, who was in The Naked Gun 33 1/3 with OJ.
It all comes back to Kevin Bacon.
If the green plus button in the corner worked, I would 'vote this post up'

Well first of all, you're beginning your case on the premise that DeCastro will play only guard - perhaps a shaky foundation on which to build your argument.
The kid's extremely athletic and can play ANY interior OL position - possibly even OT - though I would not f&%k around with a guy that's gonna be an All Pro RG from day one by shuffling him around (though there ARE teams that are looking at DeCastro as a center).
But let's just answer your question...
2010
And that guy retired in 1991.
None of the guards from 1991 to 2007 have been inducted.
Lets say DeCastro can play all OL positions and will be in the HOF.
Who would you rather have on your team, 3x pro-bowler Will Wolford or Hall of Fame player Bruce Matthews?
-
- a future HOF RG and guaranteed All Pro from season one and for the next 10 seasons.
When was the last time a player that played only guard got into the hall of fame?

Where did you acquire this bit of information?
Didn't the last Arkansas coach leave the NFL less than a year after signing a long term contract?

We should go WR with the 10th pick ( FLOYD) 41st pick we take a CB OR LB . 71st pick we take a CB or LB whichever we dont take with the 41st. Then we take 3 offensive tackles in a row starting with both of our picks in the 4th round ( 105 124) then we take another OT with our first 5th round pick ( 144) . Buddy nix has said he would like to draft 2 tackles so i think taking 3 tackles in a row will serve us some good luck. we cant miss on all the 3 pick at offensive tackle right?
then with the rest of our pick we go QB CB LB WR
Not a bad idea, get as many tackles as you can and bring them into the off- season program. Hope that at least one will work out and cut the rest.
I guess the downside would be, does your position coach have enough time to evaluate all of the players, identify the best one and get that guy ready to start? It is one thing to focus on one guy, but dividing your attention between 3-4 may hurt them all.

My predictions:
1) The Bills will have more than 45 sacks in 2012.
2) RG3's career will look like Barry Sander's - He will play in twice as many pro-bowls as play-off games.
3) The Bills' play-off drought will end.
4) Peyton Manning is never 100% and is not a Bronco in 2013
-
I'd hate to say it but if they really like him a lot, he could be the pick and bye bye Freddie. In Buddy I trust.
After all of the extension comments, I think it would hurt the Bills reputation not to extend Freddie.
Even in business, reputation matters.
-
Is this score bad enough for him to fall to #10?
dis make me go Bills? (edited so the honey-badger could read it)
-
How did he rupture his Achilles in March?
-
The reason people are saying OT is a bigger need than WR is because they think te Bills will draft OT @ 10. There are OTs worth a top 10 pick. There are not WRs that will be there that are worth a #10 pick.
If the Bills were not going OT in round 1, Bell would be re-signed.

Butler's problem was managing the salary cap. When he left the Bills, they were among the league leaders in dead cap space.
He had the same problem in San Diego.
