LMAO. 100LBS for guards. damn that's a lot of beef.

Indeed.

I voted for Evans. Elite WR > Elite TE (assuming they're both elite) Hackett would put Ebron along the OL to run block.

You're not wrong Biscuit and the opposite view is not right and vice/versa. At the end of the day, regardless of the position that is taken, I want someone who will dominate at his position. No busts.

here's an article that talks about it. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2013/12/31/5257982/buffalo-bills-have-option-to-add-fifth-year-to-marcell-dareus-contract Dareus is on his 4th and final year of his rookie contract this season and we have a club option for a 5th year that we need to exercise by May 3rd. As an alternative, we can sign him to a long-term extension instead. We better do the latter b/c if Dareus has another pro bowl season this year, you bet your ARS he'll be demanding top 3 DT money next year and here we go again with this nonsense.

That they do. But Cutler himself was quoted saying this season that a large part of the passing games success was b/c of the improved OL play. And that's the entire point: we see the QB throw the ball to the WR, we want that. We want that kind of explosive play and who wouldn't. But how does that play develop 80% of the time? Nobody cares about the pass blocking that gave cutler 4+ seconds to throw a bomb to Marshall. I was referring to Chicago's passing game with "look at what Chicago did". Chicago has done a 180 from a dominant D and lousy offense to a dominant offense and lousy D.

What does Stafford do with Megatron other than lose? Look what Chicago did with an improved OL this year.

I believe this is technically Dareus final year. He is listed as a FA in 2015 but apparently we have an option to extend.

Dude, stevie is 6'2. Woods is 6'0. You want a red zone target? We have Chandler who's like 7'0 tall. Stevie had 10TD's with Fitzpatrick throwing him the ball.

Seattle's WR corps are nothing special at all. Russell Wilson is a scrambler and is faster than EJ and better at making plays when the pocket collapses. EJ needs to become an effective pocket passer if he's going to succeed. How is a big target going to improve that aspect? Who is the elite WR on the Packers? Jordy Nelson? James Jones? Neither are taller than 6'3. Drew Brees will be a HOF QB. And before Graham got there, who was their "monster" WR/TE? Colston, who was a 7th round pick.

Again with Manning and Brady. Maybe Manning and Brady are in a league of their own. When we have Manning or Brady on our team, wake me up. I would say it depends. If Robert Woods develops into an NFL #1 and we have Stevie at #2 I'll take Jake Long. Does nobody here have any faith on Woods developing into a good NFL WR? I do. I don't see us going with WR at #1.

I'm going to say this now: We better resign Dareus this freaking season to a long-term extension. Whaley was quoted a couple of months ago as saying that it was on the Bills "radar" but not a "priority" right now. The Bills have an option on Dareus to keep him through 2015 I believe, but I don't want the same garbage that happened with Byrd happening with Dareus. You selected him 3rd, he's turning into a top player at his position. Pay the freaking man NOW, not later. Because if we wait until it does become a "priority" it might be too late. lol. Fine, fine. I'll take basket case Dez Bryant then.

most of those players will never become UFA

Lord help us.

I don't disagree with your last statement at all. Just IMO though, I'd rather give EJ the best foundation to stand on before we give him the toys that are a luxury, but not a necessity. Time to throw is a necessity for long-term success. A 6'5 WR is not. Stevie Johnson managed to get 1K+ yds three seasons in row with what many here considered to be a horrible NFL QB. Stevie at 27 is still in his prime. Robert Woods was a 2nd round draft pick last season and showed flashes of being a solid player. Neither of those players are "short". He has some tools to play with at WR. We're not the Jets.

I don't agree. Having EJ do that will encourage him to just chuck it up and pray. Is that what you want? EJ's indecisiveness is a result of his lack of playing time (I hope). As he matures, he'll feel more comfortable making the proper reads by recognizing the defense and exploiting it. Of course there are always times where having a WR that can make a catch while covered is critically important, but if you're relying on that to breed QB success, you're relying on failure. Why are we talking about Tom Brady? 1. How many games had Tom Brady already played in the NFL before Moss and Gronk got there? 2. How many games has EJ played? 3. Tom Brady is arguably the best QB ever. Lets not use him as a point of comparison please.

The stars of our offense are at RB and we have a young QB who is slow to make decisions. Thinking about that for a second, what do you think would help our offense more? Another WR, or a much improved OL? I'd go with the latter. A dominant OL makes everyone on the offense better - WR's by giving them more time to get open; RB's by giving them wider lanes and blocking better downfield; and the QB by giving him more time to make the correct reads. The question is, how do you get a dominant OL? By drafting high or finding gems in the later round? It can be done both ways, but how it's done quite frankly I don't give a crap about. Just do it.

Fred Jackson.

PFF it was; take it for what it's worth - a point of reference.

He was drafted in 2008 and has played with two HC's and 4 offensive coordinators - it's not about being in a specific system at this point, it's about not being good.

Chris Williams was released by Chicago and was the worst OL on the Rams' line. You think our LG position was bad last year? Legursky/Brown had the following combined stats: 3 sacks 11 QB hits 31 QB hurries Last year Williams had: 5 sacks 8 QB hits 28 QB hurries Now, if we all agree that LG was an abomination last year, how in the world can we say Williams is an upgrade when his numbers last season were just as bad? I would rather keep the crap we have at LG and draft a Guard in the first 3 rounds and save the 5.5 million.

Probably a crap load of Benzos. I never get why someone with the resources to have anything in the world, would want to live his life under the influence of anything. Be high on life man. Geesh.

I hear ya. Week 17 this past season was awesome with almost every game having some sort of playoff/seeding implication. By expanding the playoffs, Week 15-17 are all going to have HUGE playoff implications which is AWESOME to me. I have no problem with an 8-8 team making it in. The NFL isn't like other leagues that have 300 regular season games (hyperbole alert). There are a bunch of teams who literally have bad luck a couple of games and/or lose by 3 points or less and finish 7-9 as opposed to 9-7. Many 7-9 teams or 8-8 teams aren't that much worse than 9-7 teams or 10-6 teams. It's not the same as baseball for example where a team that goes 70-92 compared to a team that goes 92-70 - the latter is clearly much better. I'm 110% for it.

according to Peter King looks to be happening in 2015: SI's Peter King says it's "more likely than not" that the NFL will expand to 14 playoff teams for the 2015 season http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/8369/roger-goodell I like it.
