What is your "perfect" draft scenario?
KOKBILLS replied to rayray808's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So true... His numbers over a three year span are staggering...He completed 67.5% of 1416 passes over 3 years as a starter (71.2% completions as a Sr)...In those 3 years he threw 97 TD's to only 20 INT's...WVU was 26-13 with Smith starting from 2010-2012...I think it should also be pointed out that 3 out of the 6 losses in 2012 came with WVU scoring an average of 40 points!!!...That 7-6 record could have been 10-3 easily if the Mountaineers could play ANY Defense... While I fully admit Geno would have gone behind Luck and RGIII, he certainly is coming into the NFL with a higher grade than Tannehill who went 8th overall...Geno Smith is CLEARLY the best QB prospect in this Draft...If he falls to the Bills at #8 I'll be dancing in the streets... -
I don't care how bright, driven, and likable Brandon is...And I do like him...I don't even care that he says things that make me feel warm and fuzzy about being a Bills fan...The truth is anyone that stands in front of a crowd of Bills fans and media, with a straight face, and claims that Buddy Nix is one of the top talent evaluators in the game is going to be second guessed by me and a ton of other Bills fans...Our football side is in good hands? What? Come on Russ you had me at hello, and lost me again in the span of 5-10 minutes...

Something a former member of our team said to me recently
KOKBILLS replied to major's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
One note on Anderson's comments... That seems to be the prevailing opinion at OBD...And most of the blame came down on Chan...And that's fine...IF they are right...And, IMHO, that's a BIG if...I was not thrilled with Chan either, but I feel Buddy was equally to blame as the GM and the guy making all the football decisions. Including the one main decision to basically ignore the QB position for 3 years, and stubbornly go with Fitz thinking he could some how magically turn into a good, consistent, NFL QB...I'm not of the opinion that the talent on this team is so great that we were merely coached into a bad season...I think it's a lot deeper than that...Only 4 of the 10 losses were by a TD or less...Only 2 of the 10 by a FG or less...The Bills lost 6 Games by a combined 145 points!!! That's and AVERAGE of 24 points a game!!! And this is all Coaching? No way... We'll see this coming year...Because the way The Bills are talking from Brandon down, this team has a Playoff caliber roster already...And I just don't see it...Not yet at least...Do they have talent? Yes, some...Do they need more talent? Yes, just about everywhere on the Roster, and especially at QB... -
Manuel is real intriguing...I think for some reason every time I watched him over the past 2 years it was not a great game for EJ...Or I was not paying attention... When you look at his final two seasons it's hard to ignore some things...1st and foremost the fact that Manuel completed almost 67% of his last 698 attempts...In that span he threw 41 TD's to 18 INT's...He was 21-5 as a starter...IMHO accuracy is the #1 thing you look for in a College QB...And that's pretty big for a kid like Manuel, because he's already a pretty big kid...And he can sling it...I don't think Manuel is the type of athlete Newton, or Kaepernick are...But he is athletic enough to hurt NFL Defenses with his feet... EJ Manuel scares me a bit because he's got tease written all over him...But if The Bills decided to Draft him, I would be all for it...I'd have to trust that Marrone and Hackett have a good plan for him...He's got potential no question about it...I think Manuel is the type of prospect that IF he gets Drafted in to the right situation, he could be pretty good...

Well I don't know about Reed being a reach...He was the Biletnikoff Award winner..Reed came in to the NFL with 100 times the Resume TJ Graham did...Not saying he was a great NFL player at all...Just saying... Look...I did not like the Graham pick whatsoever...But I seriously doubt he is going anywhere in 2013...Nor do I think he should be cut...No matter how he looked, he was a Rookie...Not only that, he was a Rookie coming from College where he was not even a regular starter...WR is one of the toughest positions to learn as a Rookie...And lastly Graham's one obvious attribute, his break-away speed, was basically useless with Fitz at QB... We'll see how TJ responds this coming Camp...But giving up on him this early? I doubt the Bills do that unless he just implodes...
-
I'm pretty sure TJ Graham will not only be on the roster, but will be asked (if not expected) to contribute big-time in 2013...If for no other reason then an Organizational attempt to save face for Drafting him where, and when they did...

First 5 that Doug cuts from Chan era????????????
KOKBILLS replied to metsandbills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Why would any HC cut Chandler? I'm assuming The Bills will do what they have to in order to keep Byrd, and try hard to re-sign Levitre...I think Levitre is 50/50 to return... No question that 2013 needs to be a transition year for The Bills Roster...I expect a lot of Vets to be cut... Kelsay Barnett McGee Fitz Wilson I think Aaron Williams gets moved inside, and I look for The Bills to add at least 3 CB's through the Draft and Free Agency...I think they try to re-sign McLovin on the cheap...Some players that can be replaced through upgrades are... Rogers Shep - I think he stays as a back-up...I would be surprised if he was cut... Moats Pears Should be interesting the next few months... -
Congrats! GO BILLS!!!

Never wanted him before so...

What is your "perfect" draft scenario?
KOKBILLS replied to rayray808's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think when it all shakes out Eddie Lacey will be no worse than a late 1st Round Pick...I just have a feeling that a team like the Steelers, or Colts, will literally be salivating at the possibility of getting Lacey... -

What is your "perfect" draft scenario?
KOKBILLS replied to rayray808's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm assuming Geno Smith is gone by #8... Trade down, maybe twice...Get extra picks...Grab a QB with the 1st pick... If anyone is offering up a 2014 1st (along with their 2013 1st) to get to #8, no matter how far I have to go down, I'm doing it...I still take a QB with my 1st pick of this Draft no matter what... -

Deadspin: Manti Te’o’s Dead Girlfriend Is A Hoax
KOKBILLS replied to Punch's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I tend to agree with this take...Even though it strikes me as being REAL bizarre that a star athlete's girlfriend is someone he never met...Nevertheless, he could just be naive... I still don't want the Bills to Draft him...At least in the 1st Round I don't... -
Deadspin: Manti Te’o’s Dead Girlfriend Is A Hoax
KOKBILLS replied to Punch's topic in Off the Wall Archives
He was never worthy of #8 overall...Not yet at least...He's yet to run...Not a single workout...Before this I figured he could go anywhere from 10-50 depending on the next few Months... And it will be longer than a few hours unless he completely squashes it with proof he was hoaxed... -

Russ Brandon named President/CEO
KOKBILLS replied to Wagon Circler's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I never said Spiller was a bust, nor did I ever predict he would not do well...I watched CJ in College a ton while I lived in Charlotte NC...Love the kid...Still think it was a stupid move by Nix...The type of move we have come to know as typical Buddy...He's not a team builder...He's not even a GM...He's an old school scout trying to get by as a GM...He's in WAY over his head...What he did with the QB situation in Buffalo is beyond forgiving...How any Buffalo Bills fan can sit and watch Kaepernick, or Wilson, play and still be OK with Buddy or his ridiculously stupid picks of Aaron Williams and TJ Graham is totally, 100%, beyond my comprehension...IMHO, Buddy sucks... -
Russ Brandon named President/CEO
KOKBILLS replied to Wagon Circler's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ummm...Seen Kaepernick lately? Do you even have the slightest clue the % of 2nd and 3rd Round Picks that end up being even 3 year starters in the NFL?... Risk?... Too funny...Oh and btw...It's the QB Position...It's pretty important... -

KOKBILLS replied to Wagon Circler's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You can't win consistently with Fitz...He has proven that beyond a shadow of a doubt on 3 different teams...It's not all about the Defense, which I admit could be better...But like I've said a million times before around here...Fitz was never good enough, he's not good enough now, and he'll never be good enough...If you think differently, maybe Football is not your thing... -
And he picked Buddy? That's reassuring!!!
