He won't be the BPA at #10...No matter how it falls... Not saying he's a bad Prospect or anything like that...But BPA at #10? No way...
-
Honestly I'm not surprised at all...I've been saying for a while now The Bills have a potential PR nightmare on the way if Stevie is not re-signed...It's a multi-layered dilemma for The Bills Brass...It's not only about Stevie, it's about what this Team has done over the past decade plus...It will get REAL ugly...
-
I think, especially at LT, arm-length becomes really important when a guy is beat by a half a step and needs to recover...Which happens a lot in the NFL...
-
I'm guessing you're kidding... Calvin Johnson is basically a once-in-a-lifetime-type Prospect...He showed up at The combine at 6-5-239 and ran a blistering 4.35 while having a 42 1/2" Vert, and a Broad Jump of 11'-7"...Yep, almost a 12' broad jump! Add to that he was clearly one of the best College WR's EVER...With a Condor-like wingspan, and great hands, Johnson is as good as it gets...When I hear Folks, heck even Buddy Nix, bring up his name while talking about Prospects or Needs I have to laugh...You can get the best WR in 10 out of 10 Drafts and still not get close to Calvin Johnson...IMHO He's just that good...
-
Obvious but 100% correct...The Bills need to retain Stevie AND add a stud at WR either through Free Agency or The Draft... Projecting a bit...But it's possible The Bills could have Stevie, a Draft Pick/UFA, Nelson, a healthy Easley (I know...fingers crossed and all), Jones, Hagen (who I thought looked REAL good at times and comes cheap), and Aiken in 2012...That's not bad... But losing Stevie would be a massive blow...The Bills can't afford to keep losing talent and plugging holes...It simply does not work...
-
From someone who watched a LOT of SC Games (I lived in Charlotte NC for most of Jeffrey's College days) you are 100% correct...The QB change all but killed Jeffrey's Jr year...Not that he does not have work to do...Because he does...But his upside is REAL high if he sticks to a Pro workout regimen, keeps his weight down, and works hard...The kid can absolutely snatch the ball out of the air and he played big in big SEC Games... I love Jeffrey's upside...For whatever reason I think he's going to figure it out and be special...I would love him more in the 2nd Round...But I doubt that's going to be a possibility...
-
WOW! Did he? Had not seen that yet... If he runs a sub 4.5 it's going to get REAL interesting!
-
All that may be true...But the question is simple...Who would you rather have running Chan's Offense? That's all... I was wondering the same thing...It's taking homer-ism to a never before seen level...Even around here...
-
Well then...Buh bye Stevie...
-
Oh...You were not joking? Okey doke...
-
Seriously dude...He was a Pro Bowl ALTERNATE on a Defense that literally has like 50 times the talent overall than The Bills D...One of the best, if not THE best D in the League...And you called him an ALL PRO right here in this thread...I mean...I'm guessing you know the difference between All Pro and Pro Bowl Alt right? Polamalu is an All Pro...Weddle is and All Pro...Ed Reed is a 2nd Team All Pro...Donte? Not so much...Not that he did not play better in San Fran than he did in Buffalo...Because he did...But to be honest that's not saying much... I'll take a healthy George Wilson or Jairus Byrd any day over Lil' Donte...Maybe that's just me, and that's fine!...If you think Donte is good on that outstanding San Fran D then IMHO you would not believe how good Byrd and Wilson would be...I think they're both better, smarter Safeties than Donte...Whitner is a bit more physical...That is when he actually gets there and is not taking a terrible angle... By all objective measures?...

With the 10th pick of the 2012 NFL draft, Buffalo picks...
KOKBILLS replied to TPS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
100% agree...If The Bills were to Trade Down a bit and grab some extra Picks I could live with an Upshaw, Mercilous, or Ingram Pick in Round #1...But The Bills don't do that...And I don't see the value in Upshaw at #10 at all... -
I don't disagree about the Player...DeCastro is an excellent Prospect...But the Bills are not going to take an OG at #10 Overall...Period...End of story...

It's about money... It's always about money... Take that to the bank...Pun intended...

Great article by Tim Graham in B News
KOKBILLS replied to bananathumb's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Regardless of Market stability (and I think The Bills are FAR more stable than a few NFL Markets), when I read this article my only thought was this is EXACTLY what I expect would be written about a Team that has not been to the Playoffs in over a decade...If The Bills were viable on the field, there would be far less to speculate about off it... That's just my opinion... -
JJ Watt is a beast!
-
Hmmm... This is why I hate that #10 Overall Slot this year...I hope The Bills Trade Down and get the best of Mercilus, Ingram, or Upshaw...I really don't have a favorite between Upshaw and Ingram...I think Mercilus is a bit of a gamble, especially at #10...In this scenerio, without a Trade Down I think I would go "safe" and take Martin or Adams...I don't know...This Draft scares the heck out of me...
-
To be honest I think Film and the actual Games are the start of evaluation, with the Combine as sort of the start of the Final Grade...You have to get all the official Measurements etc...Then by the time the Private Workouts are Finished you have the final, Final Grades...I definitely have an idea of who is there now...But after the Combine, and more specifically after the PW's, it becomes MUCH clearer...

If Stevie Johnson is not retained by the Buffalo Bills
KOKBILLS replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I see where you're going with this... But 1st off the new Sabers Owner has had what? One Year? Not exactly enough time to make any concrete judgments on the moves thus-far... But also, you would have to be assuming the Bills new regime would be as poor in evaluating the talent they decide to pay...Pegula decided to stick with Darcy and Lindy...What if The new Bills Ownership blows it up? You never know...And at this point, IMHO, assuming new Ownership will not be a HUGE step in the right direction for The Bills is just crazy...It's the Teams biggest need by a country mile...Everyone knows it...To argue the opposite is just being devils advocate for the sake of being devils advocate... -
The NFL Draft has been my favorite hobby since the early 90's...I've bought and read just about every one of the Top guys Pub's over the years...And...IMHO...Mayock is head over heels above all of them...I have always liked Kiper...He's SUPER smart and studied...People don't give him credit for how thorough he is...Is he wrong sometimes? Sure he is...But projecting this stuff is not exactly easy...If it was Tom Brady would have gone #1 overall...I think McShay is BY FAR the most overrated guy...He seems to go out on a limb more...So maybe that's why he's wrong more often...I should also mention that I LOVED Joel Buchsbaum's Draft reports when he did them for PFW...May he RIP...
-
You are right about one thing...Mayock is the best... Again...The same Robert Ayers who had 2 Sacks in a Playoff Win, was a HUGE piece of a pretty good young Defense, is being praised by his Teammates for his hard work and improvement, and played out of Position early on in his Pro career... Lets wait a few Years before we determine the final grade on Ayers...He may not be the best Defender from that Draft...But he also may turn out to be REAL good nonetheless...
-
NO! He did not say that! In fact Mayock had a little Film session on why he did not feel Maybin was worth a 1st Round Pick...He said Maybin could not hold up vs. the Run in College and that, in the NFL, Teams would exploit that weakness in a huge way...It was Todd McShay who felt Maybin was the next Jason Taylor...Mayock was not a big Maybin Fan at all... Mayock is not perfect, but he's head over heals better than the rest...So take it back...

If Stevie Johnson is not retained by the Buffalo Bills
KOKBILLS replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
To say I would be pissed would definitely be an understatement...The Bills are simply not good enough to lose ANY of their decent Players without, once again, taking a step backwards... -
With all respect due, if Stevie does not re-sign with The Bills, who really gives a fug where he goes or where he fits?... But I'm pretty sure The Jets are out...Especially after they decided to bring Holmes back...
