Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail

Dude, Spiller looked great today, but you clearly forgot what a stud Jackson was last year.

More interesting than the Bills getting some love? Not a single one of them thinks the Jets will make the playoffs.

Yup... It is just the Bills exhibiting due diligence, nothing more. If he falls (which is not unheard of on draft day), the will be prepared. They are definitely not trading up.

If there was no place for 40s, teams would not fly across the country to see guys run them. 40s are just part of the evaluation, like everything else.

Blackmon is a hair under 6'1", I wouldn't exactly call that small though. Even if some how, some way he falls past St. Louis at #6, I don't see how he would last to us at #10. The top receivers in Miami are Brian Hartline and Davone Bess for crying out loud. Jacksonville and Carolina could also use a WR of his caliber (although it isn't necessarily their most glaring weakness). I'd say it is more likely Blackmon fallsl to us than Kalil, but it still seems EXTREMELY unlikely.

Now I don't feel so bad having Andrew Luck fall to us at 10 in my mock draft

Yep, I didn't think the Match Game could be any less funny on WGR, but this thread has figured out a way.

Irvin was intriguing to me, but his suspect maturity was confirmed (for me, at least) with his recent arrest. I think he's a better fit as a 3-4 OLB, anyway.

Care to share?

I would also prefer Martin to Reiff, but I'm holding out hope that we can still re-sign Demetrius Bell for something like 2 yr $10M and let him battle it out with Chris Hairston. Just seems like having that flexibility would truly allow us go BPA.

Deciding to post something strictly based on a thread title without doing any reading... Yawn...

Jeez guys, he was only using the combine as a way to compare his measurables to an NFL superstar. The production that everyone cares about is there too. I think he's an exciting prospect. As sure a thing you could get at 10.

Haha... interesting point. But I think a conditional 6th should do the trick.

Um, wow. Those are strong words. An unmitigated disaster? I would feel more comfortable calling Aaron Maybin an unmitigated disaster. He cost us the 11th overall pick in the draft, and he got us zero sacks. Shawne Merriman was free, and decided to extend his contract, and he has had trouble staying healthy. I think it would be much more to call Merriman a low-risk gamble that hasn't paid off on the field, but his impact off the field is debatable.

It is easy to get swept up in all the great stuff going on today, but think about his: In Buddy Nix's first year as GM, he decided to put a waiver claim in for a chronically injured Pro Bowler, who may or may not have wanted to come to Buffalo. He re-signs him and people suggest he may have overpaid for a guy who won't play. But who was instrumental in bringing Nick Barnett to Buffalo? Who was a big advocate for Mario Williams to sign here? We may never get to enjoy all of Merriman's talents on the field, but when Nix claimed him, he may have set the coordinates for the Bills for years to come, whether he knew it or not.

I'll gladly keep a red zone target on the team for less than $2.75M a year. Great deal.

The next Jonas Jennings? I'm sorry, but when Jennings hit FA, he was a much more accomplished LT than Bell currently is. And he got big money. I'm very curious to see what kind of a deal he ends up with. I could see something like 4 yr $22M.

We called him Veke?

I didn't know Mario Williams suffered from "chronic major injuries"

Call me crazy, but isn't it entirely possible that based on the amount of time he's spent here, the contract is simply be hammered out? With all of the other possible landing spots handing out other deals, you would think his agent would have a clearer plan in place with other teams in the event that he HAD to see other places. I'm thinking that might not be the case, and they don't have any intention of looking at other teams.

I never imagined the Buffalo Bills would become the Miami Heat of the NFL.

This just doesn't make sense. Stevie has worked his whole life for this contract. Would his agent just say, "Boy, it's after the 9 pm cutoff on a school night. No more phone calls,"? If so, his agent is terrible.

If we're getting the band back together, let's call Jason Gildon

Can I take Reggie Germany? Tremendous value in the 7th round.

This is exactly why it is comical that anyone would turn down an interview for a head coaching job in the NFL. No matter how disfunctional a franchise is, there are only 32 jobs like it. Strike while the iron is hot.
