Huuuge Bills

-Phillip Merlling Becomes Chris Kelsays clone. Whoever drafts him will be disapointed. -Derrick Harvey doesn't produce as much as you might think. Watch one of his highlight videos, tell me #49 doesn't create the pressure while harvey cleans it up. -McFadden is more Reggie Bush than Adrian Peterson. -Sweed and Thomas will both be solid pros. -Dorsey and Ellis will both be VERY good in the pros. -Jonal Saint-Dic will be a very good late round/UDFA steal for someone. (probably not us, doesn't fit our system) -Aqib Talib will be the worst CB to come out of this years draft. (out of the first/second rounders)

Sweed and Thomas both look impressive. If that trade with the eagles works out, and we still get one of these two, I'll be a happy man on draft day. BTW, just watch Harvey's video and tell me that #49 doesn't create all of the pressure while Harvey just cleans up the scraps. And is it just me, or does he look awful thin in that video?

Out of all 122 franchises the Bills come in at #57. Thoughts? FWIW, the Sabres are at #23, Phins are at #108, Jets at #105, and I find it hilarious that the Leafs are at #121

Could it be that having a franchise QB has something to do with not sucking? And that no matter what your philosophy is (drafting offense/ drafting defense), that whether you win or lose begins at that position?

That's part of the reason I have him as my number one. Good work ethic, strong, tall, fast, good hands, and TOUGH. That wrist injury everone keeps talking about... He played through the pain and didn't have the surgery to fix it until AFTER the season was over. My kind of player. Plus, he would have been slotted to go in the 10-15 range if it weren't for the wrist injury. Thomas might be the most talented, but it's a risk to take a one year wonder. (I wouldn't complain about picking him though) Jackson would be a good pick if we didn't already have Roscoe. Although there are reports coming out now that he doesn't have a good work ethic (doesn't like the weight room) As far as Hardy is concerned, I love the player, not sure about the hitting his GF/son thing. Some people say that he is past it, but I would wait until round 2. Doucet is a WR with good production, OK speed, about 6 foot tall, from LSU. Remind you of anyone? Yup Josh reed all over again. (they are eerily similar)

Limas Sweed at 17 and an extra 3rd. Sounds good to me

That's the part I don't get. Soooo..... in order to fix the offense we should draft a bad WR who is worse whan the bad WR's slated to go in the first round? Nice post BTW.

You win with points, not yards. And having an NFL record for players on IR, having several other players injured, Ellison starting, Tripplett starting, K. Williams starting, Steve Fairchild, hard schedule, half a season of JP starting, a rookie QB starting in the other half, and playing "the best team of all time*" twice had a little something to do with those rankings.

Beat me to it. Tommy Donahoe had a little something to do with most of that.

A. Johnson, Plaxico, Fitzgerald, R. Williams, Evans, and Edwards are all VERY good WR's. If it wasn't for his back injury, Calvin Johnson would already be there with them. That's 6 of the picks that got what you would expect. Robinson and Stallworth are good WR's, but not first round quality. The rest are busts, or just didn't warrant a high pick. You can't really tell what Ginn is gonna be worth (Definately not worth #9). He could be a playmaker, but not yet. Maybe someone can do some research, but that seems to be the bust rate at most positions.

Because if we have the 7 dwarves at WR no one will respect the passing game. They will then stack the box (just like last year) making it very difficult to run the ball. Also causing Lynch to have to break tackles all of the time to gain meaningful yards. Not to mention that an actual WR lining up across the feild from Lee, takes double teams off of him. Another Legit WR means that their safetys can't cheat to one side of the feild/closer to the line of scrimmage. And last but certainly not least, adding a red-zone threat/go up and get it on third and long/able to go across the middle of the field type WR really helps out our 2nd year developing QB. BTW if this class is as weak as a lot of people are saying.... why would you wait to get a worse WR than the terrible ones expected to go in the first? I personally think Limus Sweed would be slated to go around our pick (10-15) if it wasn't for the wrist injury. If hes healthy, I say take him at 11/wherever we might trade down to.

That's got nothing on this.... My real number 1 of all time.

I'm with you on that. Just watching him break 4-5 arm tackles on a single play is amazing, especially for a WR. And unlike chad/TO/Moss hasn't been a distraction on or off of the feild. How great would draft day be if we could land Boldin?

I noticed in the picks thread, you still listed the Iggles at 49. I traded that pick to the Bengals for Chad.

"Like my good freind Michael Irving always say, "defense do not wins championships, points wins championships"" "The Miami Dolphin became the first winless team to ever win a game in a regular season" I keep hearing Emmit's voice when I read all of the picks. Very funny

So old people related to some guy named Peter make their puss quarterback cry? Sombody get Russ on the phone! I have a plan....

One can only hope this year turns out so well. Kyle Brady over Warren Sapp.... Tards.

I'll second that.

I was wondering if you saw that. As for DJ, I would like to see him take more chances. But with JP and a rookie at QB, a rookie RB (who didn't pass block too well) and not a lot of talent surrounding them I didn't mind it much last year. With his job on the line, I think he loosens the reigns a bit. Is it September yet?

But instead of running right up the middle with an undersized backup TE playing FB, and right behind our weakest lineman. We might actually run between the tackle/guard or even (dare I say) outside. And We also have a new O-line coach. Who has stated he was going to change our style of blocking to better fit our personel. (more man, less zone) Plus the coaches have already stated they were going to call more slants/crossing patterns (which would be more than the 2 we called last year) Add in that we will have a new WR and TE (probably), and I don't think it will be as similar as some think. The biggest change might be in the rezone if we do get a new WR/TE. We would actually have the personel in place to throw the ball in the endzone

1) Fairchild is gone so that'll help. He loved to run the ball right up the middle, problem is we have a center as our weak leak (and I do mean weak) BTW Albert doesn't play center so he wouldn't help here either. 2) One of the reasons they didn't attempt to throw in the redzone is because we have smurfs playing WR. No O-lineman is going to make our WR's taller/stronger. 3) Albert will be a backup (you said it yourself), and him sitting on the bench won't help us run the ball on third. 4) If Sweed didn't have the wrist injury he would be projected to go top 10-15. If he is healed, (which I think he will is) I would take him at 11/ wherever we might trade down to.

#2 WR, FB, CB (If you count nickle as a starter). I want to say TE, but have a feeling that Royal would get the nod to start due to his blocking. (similar to how they used A-Train last year despite him being far less talented)

My favorites from these would be Schmidt, Fluellen, Steltz, and Woodyard.
