KOKBILLS

Thanks for trying Tip...

Can you let him know I LOVE the NFP and his Scouting Reports...I thought that site was my little secret a while back...I find his reports excellent and usually thorough...I also like that he's not afraid to give a strong opinion...

Maybe so...But there is still the chance Carr replaces the one that drops...Not that I would take him that high...But there is a lot of buzz about Carr moving up according to Charles Davis...And normally I would not think much about it...But I do think Davis usually gets good information...So...This thing is far from over and teams have plenty of time to talk themselves into taking a QB high...

Well... You're comparing a 3rd round speed WR in Graham, that most scouts had as a 5th-7th round prospect, to an elite 6-5-225 prospect in Evans who had 2500 yds. and 17 TD's in only two years of SEC football...You don't put up those kind of numbers in the SEC on accident... Evans is still a baby in terms of football growth...He's no where near a finished product...He won't be 21 till August...But his raw tools draw comparisons to players like Brandon Marshall...His upside is almost limitless... No one...and I mean NO ONE questions that Evans is a bit of a gamble...But it's clearly a gamble on greatness...And much of the negative stuff you read about Evans mirrors the negatives that were written about Alshon Jeffery when he came out...Those questions led to Jeffery sliding into the 2nd round when he was clearly a high 1st round talent (at least I believed he was)...Everything comes down to coaching and finding a fit when a kid has as much natural talent as Evans does... There's no comparison to Graham...I can see comparing him a bit to Dez Bryant in certain ways...But lets face it...The Bills could certainly use a Dez Bryant-type talent can they not? And I'll tell you right now that Evans is probably a smarter kid that Bryant is...I'll go out on that limb...

It's interesting... I've thought for a while now that the 3 QB's (Bortles, Manziel, Bridgewater) will end up going in the top 8 somehow, someway....But I'll admit there is at least a decent chance one of them slides out...Then I was looking at some Mock Drafts on CBS.com...And granted these guys are not scouts...But they do talk to people around the league...It's literally their job to do so...And 2 of the 5 mock Drafts they have posted have David Carr going to Minnesota to make FOUR QB's in the top 8 picks!!! FOUR!!! Then I'm watching "Path To The Draft" the other night and Charles Davis, who I really respect at this time of year because he knows a lot of NFL people and talks to a ton of FO guys, says that Carr may go higher than anticipated...He hinted that there is some buzz about Carr being in the mix towards the top of the Draft, and that some teams may prefer him to at least one of the top 3 QB's... So anyway...It would seem to be a REAL long-shot...But there is at least some buzz...If that happens the Bills are in the drivers seat for sure...

I found the episode to be the ultimate cruel joke...Because...as we all know...God clearly does not like one AFC East team...And it ain't the Patsies...That's for sure...

Thanks! That's an awesome page!!! I know right? Unknown by who? People who don't follow or care about football?

This is far more realistic than all the no's...That is certain...

Totally agree... I never saw anything like Troy Polamalu before he came in, and I doubt we'll ever see anything quite like him again...He's such an incredibly unique player...Literally one of my all-time favorite non-Bills...And I hate the Steelers... I also don't think it's all that fair to compare any kid coming out to a lock 1st ballot Hall Of Famer...That's an incredible amount to live up to...Both for the player, and for the person making the comparison...

Implode would be an understatement... Clinton-Dix is very good...The thing is...right or wrong...The Bills had a plan for losing Byrd and that involved using 4th and 5th round picks last year on Safeties...There will always be players that entice you to wander from your plans path...Clinton-Dix is that kind of player...But at the end of the day you have to stick with your plan and execute it...I fully expect the Bills to stick with their plan...And I fully expect Clinton-Dix to be a good NFL Safety on another team...You just can't Draft them all...

Personally I think a gamble on greatness with Evans is the way to go...If the kid reaches his potential we've got the next Brandon Marshall or Alshon Jeffery...And our Offense just took a HUGE step forward...At worst I think he'll end up being a solid contributor...At this point I say why not...But I would much rather be able to trade down a couple spots and still land him...That would be ideal...

In that last scenario he had Clinton Dix and Ebron going before Watkins...If Ha-Ha and Ebron go before Sammy Watkins that would be one of the biggest Draft surprises in recent memory...I would say the chances of that happening are less than 1%...But you never know...

I'm pretty much fundamentally against giving up Draft picks unless there is a QB on the other end...Just not my philosophy...The way the Draft plays out every year I think there is always examples of how you could better build a team by trading down and getting more picks rather than trading up and giving picks away...That's just my opinion...And as good as Watkins is I think this Draft is loaded, especially in the top 20 or so, with very good prospects...

Best case scenario IMHO would see the Bills trade down, grab an extra 2nd round pick, and still end up with Evans, Ebron, or Lewan in the 1st...

First off let me say I agree with you...I think the Bills will look WR before TE...And I think they probably should too...Especially if they believe Evans is a potential #1... But I'm in the middle of this argument because I like Ebron too...And I think that he would bring a very unique match-up problem for opposing Defenses to deal with...In actuality Ebron sits in the middle of a TE and a WR...He's more TE size wise at 6-4-250...But his game is more WR...He's about the same speed as Kelvin Benjamin, and a bunch of other big WR's...He's a move-TE that would seek out mismatches and exploit them...He's much more of a receiver than he is a complete TE...But he can block a bit, and has the overall athletic ability to get much better in that area...If the Bills went with Ebron it would signal to me their preference for exposing mismatches in the middle of the field with Safeties and LB's...If they go with Evans I think they're swinging for the fences and hoping for the next Brandon Marshall to emerge...So anyway...I think either is OK... Concerning the Ebron's TD deficiency most UNC followers I know (and I know a lot after living in Charlotte NC for 20 years...My brother-in-law and nephew are die-hard UNC fans) blame the QB inconsistency, the fact that UNC ran a spread Offense, and that teams paid a lot more attention to Ebron in the red zone...Which opened things up for others on the Tar Heels Offense...In other words, what he did at UNC in the red zone is not going to be what he does in the NFL red zone...If that makes any sense...

I'm not saying this because I dislike CJ, though I'm admittedly not as high on him as some around here...Especially after I drafted him #1 overall in one of my FF leagues last year... Note to CJ...Don't worry buddy...Knowshon Moreno of all people bailed your ass out until I managed to trade for Adrian Peterson late in the year...Still finished 1st in my Division (and lost the Championship game) despite the fact that Spiller and that other bum Trent Richardson were my first two picks... But anyway... I see very little chance of CJ being in Buffalo past 2015 when his rookie deal runs out...I would not be at all surprised to see the Bills bring in their RB of the future in the 2015 Draft...There's really no need to address it this off season...Freddie is still playing at a high level, and Dixon will be used a bit as a grinder...But all in all I don't like CJ's chances past 2015 in Buffalo...Especially if Marrone is around...I don't think he fits the way Marrone/Hackett want to run the ball...Plus I don't think the Bills are going to want to pony up to keep him...

Into the top 10? Not sure about that...It's awfully crowded up there... I'm also unsure about who is going to be the first Safety taken...Dix or Pryor...Both are very good prospects though...Pryor is a beast...Charles Davis said that he is hearing scouts are concerned about Dix's ability to cover man-to-man...Pryor did not play much man either...Nonetheless both are considered to be very, very good...I've read comparisons to Eric Berry and Earl Thomas...Which is crazy because those are two of the best safeties in the NFL... Just further proof of the crazy depth especially in the first round of this Draft...

He's still the odds on favorite to go #1 IMHO...I think the Houston people in the know would back me up on it too...O'Brien likes him and is on record saying as much....The new Texans HC is also close with George O'Leary so he's going to get the complete scoop on the kid...O'Leary has been careful not to over-hype Bortles admitting he's going to need time, and he did say that Bortles does not compare to Andrew Luck at this point... "Blake has all the things you're looking for in a quarterback as far as size and mental capacity to handle a lot of things," O'Leary said . "But that first year is tough because those guys are moving a lot faster than the college guys. ... Blake is going to be fine-tuned to what he needs to get done in the pro ranks. He's a quick study and a quick learner." Then there's long time Houston reporter John McClain's quotes... "Each day I get asked multiple times: Who are Texans drafting? I tell them 1 of the 3 top QBs. Forget about any other position," "I believe the Texans will keep the top pick and take the highest-rated QB on their board. Too early to say who at this point. Lots of time left," "I'm still amazed to read and hear so many nationally predicting the Texans won't take a QB with their first-round pick. It'll be a QB!" Finally...Bortles line at Penn St. last year...20/27...288 yds...3 TD's...1 INT...A QBR of 95.9... At the end of the day I'll be surprised if Bortles does not go #1 overall...I'm not saying I think that's what the Texans should do necessarily...But I do think it's what they will do...

Agreed... Just about every big board I respect has Hageman in the 25-35 area...I think he would be quite a steal at 41...I doubt he'll make it that far though...

Fair enough...I'm not all about Ebron or bust...Nothing like that...But I do feel he is unique...And I doubt very much there is another prospect like him in this Draft...I do agree there are other TE's that may be effective though... Stop!!!...I was so close!!!...

There seems to be a bit debate about Evans, Ebron, or an OT...But it looks to me like just about everyone agrees it's going to be one of those three... Assuming Clowney, Robinson, Watkins, and Mack all go in the top 8...Are we close to agreeing that IF the Bills stay at #9 the pick will come down to Evans, Ebron, Matthews, or Lewan? Because even narrowing it down to that would be something...

Graham barely played College football...One season at Miami and he had 17 receptions for 213 yds...The reason he was Drafted in the 3rd round was his incredible athletic ability (he did play all 4 years of B-Ball at Miami), and the fact that 5 of those 17 receptions went for TD's...Rest assured if Graham played as much as Ebron did in College he would have been a top 10 pick...And there will very likely be no Eric Ebron's obtained in any of the other rounds of this Draft...Like Graham he's a very unique talent...

IF they Draft Evans...And that's a big if...He takes Hogan's Roster spot...But he would take a lot of TJ's PT...I think the only reason they hold on to TJ this year would be insurance in case Flash gets injured again...It gives the Bills a back-up burner...
