He is not a good CB. He is poor in coverage and not the best tackler in the world. The Redskins would have kept him if he was as good as his reputation. He gave up the second most yardage of any CB in the NFL this past season, according to statistics posted down here in Redskins country. What he does do is make some plays, but he goves up more than he gets. No need for him in Buffalo.

I would love to see either Swope or Woods in a Bills uniform next year. Neither is worthy of the #8 pick, but hopefully one of them will be available in round 2. I don't really know much about the others.

The only reason I still have DirectTV is for the Ticket so if i can get the Bills games through FIOS TV after this contract expires, I'll be saying goodbye to DTV.

We will now have the airing of grievences and feats of strength -- a Festivus for the rest of us

I agree with Bangarang. I heard the same things about DeCastro last year that I hear about Warmack this year -- best in a decase. Well you can't have the best in a decade every year. He will be good, but not for the Buffalo Bills.

It all depends upon who is available when we pick and who we have picked up in Free Agency, but I go in this order: QB, LB, & WR

Interesting statistics, but I'm not sure it tells the whole story or you can draw any conclusion from it. For instance, one of the keys to West Virginia's offense was to get the ball in the hands of Tavon Austin and let him use his considerable talent to move the ball. That is a good plan. It's done with screens and the shuttle pass, all behind the line of scrimmage. It doesn't make Geno Smith less of a QB, it makes him one who can read a defense and follow the game plan. Smith also had over 2% of passes over 40 yards as did Barkley. If that number was 0% then I woulf think it was significant because you do not know he can throw the long ball, but it's not. I'm no ready to draw any conclusions, but I do appreciate the information.

I think this would be a terrible Idea and it's not because Cruz is not a good player -- he is. The ley is that Cruz has had other good quality receiers on his team and a QB who could get him the ball. In addition, Cruz won't move the needle enough for the Bills and put them in contention. We need more. I'd rather spend that money on Bowe and still have a 1st round choice to fill another need.

Since it's a passing league, I would think if we were to grab a safety it would not be to blow up a ball carrier at the line of scrimmage, but to pick off a pass intent for a TE running thru the middle or if not intercept it break it up. Given that in the new NFL a defensive person is restricted from smacking a receiver with any force, I want to guy who can cover the field and read the QB. Just my opinion.

When were the Bills ever fighting for thier playoff lives last year?

There are at minimum 6 positions we need more than a D-End -- QB, WR, TE, ILB. OLB, CB. This is the kind of pick that leaves Bills fans befuddled and hopeless. I'd much rather have Jones, or Patterson, or Mingo and I'm not even high on Paterson

The real question is if Mario will continue to play like Kelsey or will he be the player we were expecting when he got the big bucks.

Since we don't see any other teams picks, I assume the you think Geno Smith will already be picked. There is no way, in my opinion, that you take Barkley before Smith. He is not as good as Smith.

I think we are good at Center, Guard if Levitre is re-signed, D-Tackle. RB is not a big need as I think we only need a 3rd string. We could improve everywhere else. As everyone on this board knows the biggest needs are QB, WR, and LB.

I would be really good if Geno fell to us and we pulled the trigger. I understand he is notAndrew Luck or RGIII out of the box, but I think he can get there. He's a hard worker with all the tools. Needs to work a little on footwork. Geno would certainly be better than anything we have

4.8 is not bad for an inside LB. The real question is his 1st 10 yrd time -- it measures quickess off the ball and 1st move. rarely is a LB running 40 yards.

I would rather see Rd 1 - Geno Smith Rd 3 - Geno's high school & college teammate -- Stedmon Bailey Rd 2 - Best defensive player we can get -- perferably a LB.

The question is why would Woodson sign with the Bills not if the Bills should go after Woodson. He obviously only has a year or two at best left and he would want that to be with a Super Bowl contending team. I love the Bills, but they are not a Super Bowl contender, given the roster.

Hmm, recent Bills signings: Aaron Corp and Tavaris Jackson. Let's compare last year's stats to see what each brings -- Oh wait -- there aren't any last years stats unless you count how often Jackson fumbled the clipboard and how quickly Corp was able to fill shopping bags. That statistical information tells me that I give this one big yawn.

I believe trent Edwards will be available -- he doesn't fit into the Chip Kelly offense in Philly

It provides some insight into each position, but stays away from any statement as to which position the Bills should go for first. The commentary leads to QB, WR, & LB which are the obvious choices. If we don't fix the QB problem there is no reason to draft a WR since they will not be able to make an impact with the current QB so I am thinking QB first and WR later. Right now I don't see Nassib or Wilson as #8 pick material, but if the Bills trade down then maybe. I can only wish that Geno falls to #8, but I doubt he will.

I voted for Geno, but I don't think he'll be there. I would really be disappointed with the Bills if they went with the old Buffalo staple and took the CB or Safety in round 1. It's certainly seems to me they have done that enough (Gilmore, McKelvin, Whitner, Clement, Winfield) that if they knew how to identify a good DB they would be all set there. Let's try a different approach.

That last quote says it all. You would go an entire half without hearing his name.

Agreed - not sure either has anything anymore

Almost a guarantee now that Byrd is hit with the franchise tag. He is the guy I really want to stay.
