Nice job overall. I think everyone should expect the Parcells is going to have a big draft. He knows he has to reload on defense. Also i would expect an oline man like you pointed out. I definetly dont like Ayers. He seems like a nice enough kid, but he just scares me. If he did not have more then 3 sacks in college what makes us think he would be a force in the pros? I know he could develope, but first rounders should be spent on guys that have shown they can be a force in college and will just need to develope to the speed of the pro game. Ayers makes me question him. Too many times you see a name get hot, and he climbs the board. Then he turns into a dud. Personally i dotn think the Bills are going to take a tackle in the first. I really think they will try Bell and Chambers. With the hope that Bell is the longterm answer. I do see then going back in the second and taking an interior OL. Once again good work and thanks, cant wait till the weekend!

Leonidas, I have got to give you props man you been a member for like 2+ mos, and you already have over 700 posts. And i am not saying that with any sarcasm. so please dont get pissy. You are one of the few guys on here i like to hear his opinions, because you back it with facts.

He would be the best player available by far at a need position. So yes, the Bills would pick him. However what if Curry and Orakpo are both available? Then what?

No it wasn't a stupid comment. I was taking for granted that we all knew why Peters play decreased last year. He held out for money. And he did not bother to keep himself in shape while he was holding out. Honestly you have made an abundance of stupid comments on this particular subject. But got to give you credit for 15k posts. Good for you.

I go with Unger too. And could be had in the second.

You keep making my arguement. Why did he miss all offseason? Cause he was holding out for money. Couple that with the fact that he had money on his mind while playing the games. Jeez Dean, are you on his payroll? Peters is all about the money. And thats fine. But what does a guy play for once he has the money??

If the Bills got Curry at 11 and Petigrew at 28. Then i would poop myself. Not sure either one is possible. But yes there is hope it could happen. If it did both would be out to prove something. And the Bills would get two very good/very motivated players.

Seriously? So if he got beat say the first serious of the game, he would say that to himself. Then would forget all about it? Then just repeat it the next time? So why was he so much worse in 2008 then in 2007? Come on man you are smarter then that. He is only motivated by money. And guys like that dont last very long after they get the payday. I dont wish him any ill will. Good for him he got paid, i am just very glad the Bills didn't do the paying.

You think he had a hidden meaning in it? Then i think you are obtuse. He is a moron. Incapable of abstract thinking. Sorry but you got to call a spade a spade and Peters is dumb as a box of rocks. If he wasn't playing football he would probably be a bouncer somewhere. Or maybe in the WWF.

Did you read his statements or listen to them in his Eagles interview? He basically said the contract was on his mind last year while playing. Like if he gave up a sack or missed a block, he said oh well i am only making $3,000,000.00. Come on man. That guy is a turd. And he is stupid enough to admitt it.

He is definetly worth a seventh rounder. He has all the tools to be great. Hopefully he matures and realizes he has one shot left. If your a late round of FA signing you are not aloted as many do overs as a first or secound rounder. Heck take him to visit Maurice Clarret, if he doesn't think it could happen to him. I would be surprised if some team doesn't pick him up in sixth or seventh round.

You can't possibly know how this trade will benefit one team or the other six weeks into this upcomming year. It will take 2-3 years to truly understand it. If Peters has injuries along the way, who the Bills draft with the picks and how they develope etc....

First of all if you think Peters has no risk, then i dont know what you watched last year. He has also been injured the last two years. He also held out last year with three years left on his deal. Sorry but if you think he has no risk, then i am not sure i can go further with the arguement as to why the Bills traded him.

Andre Smith is Mike Williams the second.

Is it set in stone that it is a 6th rounder next year? It was originally being reported it was a conditional pick. Based upon Peters performance.

no way Jose.

Starting day the Oline LT- Walker/Chambers LG-Hangartner C-Max Unger RG- Butler RT- Bell FO been saying Hangartner is the center. A smoke screen. Then they take Unger the best center in the draft in round 2. Push Hangartner over to LG.

So you like being excited in the offseason, as opposed to the regular season? Bacause trading Lynch would only serve that purpose.

Replacing 60% of the oline is not the best thing. However you have to look at it position by positon or player by player. Fowler- Bad Dockery- Was not very good. Getting paid way to much for what he was doing. So what close your eyes and hope he plays better this year? Peters- Wanted to be paid like best LT, when the Bills just saw him have a very average at best season. Royal- had stone hands and was way way overpaid. Sorry but the other thing not many people mention is maybe the Bills like some of the young guys that are already on the team. McKelvin replaces Greer, not Florence Ellis steps up and plays good this year rotating in on De Bell steps up and plays good on Oline. Fine continues to progress this year. He is a move the changes type of TE. But the Bills really dont need more then that with Evans and Owens stretching the field. Now for FA Owens is another target for Trent and a true number 2 wide out for Evans to get open more. Take away the T.O name and look at his numbers we would all be very happy to have gotten him. Florence will be very good in a nickle package. Zone cover 2 is what he excelled at while in SD. More so then playing a press man coverage like he was asked to do in JVille. Hangarnter was technically a back up. But started 8 games last year at center while Khalil went down. Carolina had a great rushing attack and a many of his Oline teammates thought highly of him. McKinney is a very solid depth guy on Oline,that will also help spell any rookie interior guys that are drafted. Rhodes will help carry the load during Marshawns suspension. And also help if either Freddie or Marshawn goes down. He can catch and run the ball effectively. Fitz is a nice back up. God knows he cant do worse then JP did last year. Thomas will be a ST and depth at LB. Then you have the draft Right now you need two players for the defensive front 7 and i would say an Oline man. These should get addressed with the first three picks. All three of those picks should be guys that could step right in and start. Yes they will have some growing pains, but i would not go into full on rebuild mode for Buffalo. The offseason is not even halfway over yet. The draft will help us see what type of season we can expect. But who ever said the Bills need to hit on their first four picks is exactly right.

The Bills kept the two guys worth keeping. Walker and Butler played very solid. Butler hopefully can get past the injuries. Fowler Preston and Dockery were down right terrible. Peters looked very out of shape his first 4-5 games. He had no continuity with Dockery, because he missed all of the off season work. His timming was very bad. And personally i think in his mind he felt like if you are going to pay me 3 million a year i will block like a 3 million a year LT. Now the Bills have quietly made two signings on the Oline. Hangartner played on a very good Carolina Oline. Had to watch them play a few Sundays down here. He was more or less a victim of numbers. Too much good talent in one area. His contract was up and the Panthers could not resign him for starter money. They already had paid starter money to the rest of the line. McKinney seems like a very quality depth guy, that could also help spell the rookie(the Bills take in the draft) at gaurd. Going into last year the Oline was suppose to be our strength. With the center spot being the chink in the armour. Every broadcast the announcer would bring up the fact that the Bills starting line was the biggest in football. Yet they consitently got pushed around. And usually it seemed like the heat came from center over to LT. So i am optimistic this year the changes will lead to something better. And hopefully everyone is signed up early and in camp on time so they can work together and form a consistent unit.

Maybe Coach Reid just saw video of the 2007 season. Seriously though, Peters could be the best LT in football, he has all the tools physically do be that. But mentally, and motivationally speaking i am not sold. But i guess we will all find out. Best case scenario, it works out for both teams. Bills use the extra picks to help build the team into a playoff one. Peters helps protect McNabb for his last few years. Then in 2010 the Bills play the Eagles in the Super Bowl and win by sacking McNabb on thie last play of the game going right over Peters. Ah one can dream.

Henderson and Stroud up the middle would be a very nice combo. He has only missed three games the last two years. last year he missed two games with a sprained knee. The fact that Stroud and him played together in JVille is also a nice side note. They will know each others tendancies. At 30 he still has some good years left. And to use that extra fourth for him. Well then that would make the Peters trade look even better for Blo.Send the fourth and McCargo. Hey he is younger then Henderson, and if Del Rio wants youth here you go. See if Del Rio can motivate McCargo. Here are Hendersons career stats: Year Team G Solo Ast Total Sack 2002 JAC 15 45 9 54 6.5 2003 JAC 16 47 11 58 3.5 2004 JAC 16 63 13 76 6.5 2005 JAC 16 53 17 70 3 2006 JAC 16 38 13 51 3.5 2007 JAC 15 28 10 38 2 2008 JAC 14 35 10 45 3

Yes it could happen. If the two QBs go then the run on OT maybe up to 3 in the top 10, then 2WRs. Then probably a DT and a DE or two. It very well could happen. If it does, god the Bills better take him. Perfect for the Bills. Would be a day one impact guy. Come back later in round one and go Oline. Then in round two go Dline. In the third take another interior Oline guy.

Exactly!

6 years 60 million is a lot of money. But not for a motivated lock down LT. Now the Sixty Million Dollar question is, which Peters will the Eagles get? And for how long?
