Huuuge Bills

I havn't seen much of him, but when he did play I was impressed. I saw maybe 2-3 of his games in San Francisco, a few in Tampa Bay, and A few plays from a Arizona game last year. If I had to descibe him, I would say imagine Trent, with a slower release. He is fairly accurate, and puts enough zip on the ball to get it to the receivers on time. Although, he IS like JP in the sense that, he had the chance to start, and never improved enough to keep the job. Here is a video on him. While it's not the greatest, you can get a pretty good look at him. (and you can see that he has the talent to do well) As far as being a teacher, I couldn't tell you. But teams with young QB's did pick him up. Arizona with Leinert, and Tampa Bay with Gradkowski/Simms. I'de love to have a Veteran with a similar style to Trent, who we can lock up for a few years. As opposed to JP, who isn't much older, still thinks he can/should start, Will bolt after the season, and plays an entirley different style. The best part is that he wouldn't cost you much more than the veteran minimum.

Seriously, if you don't know who Fred Jackson is, then you either didn't watch any games last year, or you drank WAY too much beer and just can't remember watching the bills last year. Here You should be able to see his number clearly here. Pay close attention to the play at the end of the video. Here are his stats. That's right, he averaged 5.2 YPC. But I guess he sucks because you've never heard of him. I'm done with this thread, you can continue to think the way you do, as there is no changing your mind. Just know, you'll be very disapointed on draft day.

Ok we are working the list down, we're making progress! 2. Why you don't know his number has nothing to do with how good he is. Ask other posters, watch games from last year, he is plenty good enough to be the number two. 4. We were also one of the worst defensive teams in the league last year. We need help/ depth on both sides of the ball. And You say we need offensive players but are against taking a WR/ TE early. You can't take a chance on a late round pick and expect him to be great right away, especially when you need to make the playoffs. Jauron said that we NEED to make the playoffs THIS year, he isn't going to trust the #2 WR spot on a late round pick. And comparing the Lions to ANY other team is like comparing a pony to a thorough-bred. Matt Millen is a moron, Picking A solid #2 with the eleventh pick isn't the same as picking a WR with 3 straight top 10 picks. Pactrick Kearny wasn't mid-priced, he was VERY expensive. You don't just get a few mid level FA players and expect to win. The Giants had Mitchell and a few others, but they also drafted how many of their defesnive starters? And you could say the same about the pats*. How many players on their D-line were FA signings?

Absolutley, positively, 100% would pick the Cows. This is of course an un-biased opinion. (p.s. Alton Brown thanks you for the raise Mr. nice generous owner)

This looks good, We would still get our choice of the top WR's and would pickup some extra picks. But, I wanted to ask you and some of the other drafts "gurus" here a question. Why hasn't Jonal Saint-Dic (Michigan St.) gotten any love as far as DE's go? He was a senior this year and was DOMINANT when I saw him play. He failed a math class and was ineligable for their bowl game, but that alone shouldn't knock him out of the draft should it? Just wanted to know your opinion.

After I got burned by picking upsets in the tourney, I decided to go all chalk on this.

1. Than why did you quote my comment when you made that assanine post? 2. So you didn't watch the bills last year? He was solid when he played, You don't draft a fourth RB because your 2nd best RB might not be great. 3. You wouldn't have good WR's because what % of late round picks develope into great players? For every Colston ther 25 Sam Aiken's. 4. GB had a HOF QB (who has missed all of 0 starts) for Hasselback/ Brunell to learn behind. (we don't have one) Same goes for QB's as it does for every other position, Sometimes you get lucky in late rounds. 5. The best Qb in the draft isn't falling to 11, Miami, Atlanta, and Baltimore all need a Qb. 6. All rookies are unproven, not just defensive rookies. Priest Holmes was getting older, they needed a young running back. The Bengals took Chris Perry when they had R. Johnson, how'd that work? And Seatle was already a playoff team in the worst division in football, they would have made the playoffs with or without Kerney. And how many FA signings like that can you expect to make? Do you realize how much money he makes?

And i could give you a list equally as long with WR's who were picked high because of their times who turned out to be busts. Charles Rodgers anyone? As I said in another thread, you always look at the individual player. Not the statistics, numbers, or trends.

First of all I would like someone to point out where I said "take a WR" in that post. Secondly, we have Fred Jackson backing up Lynch. And while Wright didn't do much last year, it's way too early to give up on him. Third, Who the is going to catch all of passes from your 17 Qb's? If we had gone with your srategy, We wouldn't have Evans, Parrish, or Reed. Fourthly, We wouldn't be able to trade the QB's you would draft because teams would just hold us hostage. Why would they pay a premium when we have no leverage? Fifth, Which Qb is worth taking at 11 this year? Ryan is going ot gone by then, and the next probably won't be taken until the second round. Sixth, Rookies (especially 1st rounders) Reciev huge bonuses, paying all that money to players on the bench is a waste. Seventh, If paying all that money to players who will never see the feild wasn't enough, do you have any idea how much cap room would be needed to pay for an entire free agent defense? Clements alone got 80 million dollars. Good luck getting 11 players to start for your team, along with sufficient backups for them. Did I miss anything?

My opinion may not that of an expert, but Tim Rattay would be a good option for us.

So you suggest we draft QB's when you already have a QB, draft a RB when you already have a RB, and get a bunch of older/ more expensive defensive starters in free agency? No thank you, we already fired Tom Donahoe.

8 games and 12 tackles is a beast? HA! This is a beast! 6 games, 28 tackles, 1 INT, 1 FF, 1 PD, and 8 TFL.

Sounds lovely.

NFL.com is running this contest. All you need to do is complete your mock draft, and wait for the 26th. Sounds pretty cool, good luck to all.

RIP

Kansas vs Memphis is going to be a fun game to watch. Still would to have liked to see UCLA vs North Carolina, But this is a nice alternative.

Seeing as they just beat my pick for champion, I hate 'em right about now.

WOW! Collison really came to play today, didn't he? Good to see him step up in the big game

It's Final Four time. UCLA vs Memphis up first. Who ya got? I'm stickin with UCLA

This is my thinking: Trade down in round 1 and get your top rated WR. BPA with the remaning picks. If we can't find a trade partner, grab a defensive starter in round 1, Doucet in round 2.

1. I agree that it's the biggest need. 2. Limas Sweed (assuming he is healthy) and Early Doucet are 1 and 2 for me. Kelly/ Thomas are a close 3rd/ 4th.

That's who I'de go with.

I guess we just see it differently. I would only take the school into consideration if I had two players rated identically. Either way i can't wait for the draft. Nice sig BTW.

But you're insinuating that taking him at 11 is too high only because of the school he went to. Tell me this, if this same player had played at Texas, and put up the same numbers at the combine, would advocate taking him then?
