Simple, assuming we stay at 9, who do you think are the top 9 on the Bills Big Board and who are the top 9 on Your Big Board for the Bills? We would be selecting the highest player remaining on the Board when we draft. BILLS Board: 1. Clowney 2. Mack 3. Watkins 4. Robinson 5. Lewan 6. Mathews 7. Mosley 8. Ebron 9. Evans My Board for the BILLS: 1. Clowney 2. Watkins 3. Mack 4. Manziel 5. Robinson 6. Ebron 7. Mosley 8. Donald 9. Mathews

Uhhh....did you watch him play last season? He is one of the best.

CJ depends on being completely healthy (which he was not last season hampered by a bad ankle) and a good OL (which we did not have last year). With a good OL and good health, he is better than FJ in my opinion. Freddy is Freddy regardless of his health and how good or bad our line is. Solid runner that will get you solid yards on every carry and heart that just don't find on every team. Spiller was healthy in 2012 and we had a better line that year as well, result: much better performance. Huge plays every game, very few negative or 0 yard runs. He was sliding though holes and making cuts that he just couldn't do last year. Also, we had a pretty conservative playbook last year with EJ et. all at the helm, this allowed Ds to play more run D than before IMO. Spiller is a special talent, Freddy is a special all around person / leader / player. Hope we have them both for a few more years at least.

He's only asking if it's legal. Obviously it would never happen, but it is legal if the trust allows it.

It would depend on what the Trust says. That's the legally binding document you'd have to follow here first. Generally speaking, if you own something, regardless of how valuable it is, and you want to give it away for free or for much less than it is worth, you can do it. This is America after all.

Well, if Evans is taken by anyone other than Tampa it looks like no one is winning this year! Only a small few have him going anywhere else.

There's only one sheltered person here...32 NFL GMs who won't go near this guy are sheltered too I suppose?

I think you are severely overestimating the value of the 4th compared to the 9th overall pick.

This would be just about his 10th chance. There's a reason St. Louis and the Bills didn't want him before the scandal and there's a reason why he's still a free agent right now. Not to mention bringing in a guy like this on a young, impressionable team is just not what you want to do. On some occasions, talent just isn't enough.

Well, they always say DBs are just WRs that can't catch and he can make some tackles. Not a horrible thought to take a look at him there. He's obviously not going to amount to anything as a WR at this point to me.

I don't like any of the BPA or Value picking mentality at all. If I were running things I'd grade out my entire team and grade out the draft class. If I have a offensive or defensive starting position graded out at say a 65 Guard (on a 0-100 scale for instance) and there was a guard on the board who I rated as a 90, I would take him over a 95 RT when I already have a 80 RT on the roster. 90-65=25 95-80=15. 25>15. You would improve your team more this way. Draft the player that will provide the biggest impact on your squad and build around what you already have. This is a win now league for the most part, and this is the best way to win now. Obviously not a perfect system as some positions are more valuable (namely QB) but I think you get the jist of what I'm trying to say.

He obviously means 4th overall, not 4th round. Why must people correct everyone on every little mistake. Do you think you are proving you are smarter than the OP or are somehow being clever? It's so played out man. To answer your question, no. The only instance that I would consider it is if Watkins were available and they felt he was a considerable upgrade from Stevie. Also, I don't think I'd want to "throw in" a 7th rounder on top of a very solid WR and the 9th. Personally, I like Stevie and I never like trading a known commodity for unknown ones. We could always try to get another WR at 9 or in the second. If we do, and we like him after workouts and camps we could always trade Stevie for pick(s) in next years draft. There will be teams that wanted a top end receiver that didn't get one and there are always injuries in the season / training camps.

Now that's funny! Anyway, OP, I'm around your age. Here's a summary for you. Strip Club / Casinos - Canadian Side of Niagara Falls Night Club type joints - Chippewa Street - Walking distance from Downtown Hotels More chill bars with lots of live music, friendlier people, fewer meathead doucebags - Allen Street area or Elmwood Area (which are pretty close to each other) has smaller bars (a step above hole in the wall type joints) that I enjoy much more than Chippewa these days. Short cab ride from Downtown (5-10 mins) and there are a few hotels around here too. I'd stay here if I were an out of towner, but that's just me. Wings - don't fall for the Anchor Bar crap, they suck. Duffs is where it's at and you can spend hours there drinking and watching sports as well. Hockey - Sabres games are great even when we suck. There are bars around the arena too that are not bad on game nights. As other's have noted, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT stay near the stadium, you'll be disappointed. Stay near one of the bar districts, you'll be able to stumble home without a cab and there are plenty of damn good places to eat as well. Besides wings, local favorites also include Ted's Hot Dogs (the name of a place), Beef on Weck (a type of sandwich served at a ton of places), Wings obviously, and there are some great pizza places too depending on where you stay (definitely go local over national chains). If you're looking to drop some cash and want steak Buffalo Chop House is where it's at. It's a nice place and pretty expensive but damn good. Have fun.

1. Johnny Manziel - Browns 2. Jadeveon Clowney - Texans 3. Blake Bortles - Tennessee 4. Khalil Mack - Jacksonville 5. Mike Evans - Tampa Bay

He looks nasty doesn't he? I wouldn't want him pissed at me.

Agreed.

Just saw on the Fox Sports 1 Ticker that he signed for a whopping $63,000. Quite the pay cut from the NFL. He either really loves football or is really broke already. I'm thinking the latter.

Jarvis Landry WR LSU. Beckham gets most of the hype (and he's good, no doubt) but every time I watched LSU it was Landry coming up with the big plays at the big times. He just has a knack for clutch performances.

Not nearly as bad as CNN has been with that flight that vanished. I would literally get alerts to my phone saying that there were no new developments, they had it as breaking news on their website for over a month and talked about on air for over a month non-stop with absolutely nothing new to report except idiots speculating the same scenarios over and over and over. I actually removed them from my favorites far, removed their app from my phone, and haven't turned on their tv station since. SNL even did a pretty funny fake commercial about it. It was unbelievable. No wonder their rating continue to plummet.

If we go LB, it's going to be Mosley, not Barr.

I actually meant to write "basically didn't even see the field at all." 9 games played with 5 receptions is not playing time. Adding to the "Things I Hate" thread...people that nit pick on the smallest little detail slips and punctuation errors on message boards.

I say he certainly fills one of the teams biggest needs. Chandler is slow, drops more and more passes every season, and makes fewer and fewer great catches every season. Gragg is still extremely raw and didn't even see the field last year at all. Moeaki has basically missed 2 of the last 3 years because of injury and even when he played his best season was 47/556/3 in his rookie year. He actually regressed in his third season after missing his second season. To me, TE is a glaring need. In addition, I think that it's much easier to find other positions in the later rounds than it would be to find a game changing type TE. OL, LB, DB, RB, DL, all can (and have been successfully) drafted in the other rounds. I think it's fair to say OL is our weakest position right now. If our former OL player and OL coach, now Head Coach, can't spot a NFL starting caliber RT in the second or third round and develop him into a very good / great tackle then we have some serious issues at HC. I don't think that's the case. With the way the league has been going the last few years, TEs are a hot commodity and we will miss out on the game changers if we don't take one in the first via the 9th or a trade down.

Tell that to Michael Vick, Aaron Hernandez, Aldon Smith, Rae Carruth, Plaxico Burress, Travis Henry, Sam Hurd, Johnny Jolly, Ryan Leaf, or any other talented NFL player who was able to perform on the field but was a P.O.S. off the field. Most were immediately cut by their teams, most never played again, and the rest never again reached their former levels of performance.

Things I Hate: "Fans" who bash our 2nd year QB after he has played in a total of 10 games, threw more TDs than picks and was obviously on a minimized play calling set from the coaching staff pretty much the entire season. I mean seriously, calling EJ a bust already is simply ludicrous. Things I Love: Playing on Thanksgiving day this year (most likely). Opening Day at the Ralph every season, and this year will be extra special. Sunshine (usually), good times, and optimism.

Don't really know the guys after round Wilder but I like the top 2 choices a lot and I like the positions you have drafted after that (except the punter in the 7th). Also, I would rather take a QB somewhere around round 4 or 5 (Murray, Boyd, McCarren someone like that should be around). Really, really like Ebron and Kouandjio. Then maybe we could get Arie Kouandjio in next years draft if he comes out and really shore up the OLine. 1. Ebron 2. Kouandjio 3. Brooks - S FSU 4. Murray - QB Georgia 5. Half Back - Thomas ORE?, not really sure who 7. OL - anyone If we're able to snag another pick late - L'Damian Washington Mizzou WR
