I hope we get this Dansby deal done, I never really liked Shep but I felt like he was at least a capable backup. Now I feel like this team needs two MLB's but getting Dansby would at least give us a viable veteran to hold the fort down.

When you are young at WR and QB there are going to be growing pains. Also the defense might have some growing pains.

The type of guy you take in the 7th round high reward guy if they stay healthy and develop a tool or two.

Really cool photos, I loved the one with Carrie Fisher sleeping on a snow mobile lots of adorable photos from her in there.

This was a swap of semi-underachieving young players who appear to be a better fit for the opposite teams scheme. The Colts need depth at a pure MLB spot. Sheppard is just that a pure 4-3 MLB a mediocre one but a guy who can hold down a back up spot there. I like this move but lets not pretend like we got a steal here, Hughes is not very highly regarded.

Tightend and Guard seem like obvious weaknesses on offense. On defense I would put MLB and CB at the top of the list. Certainly other positions are of concern but those are the obvious ones.

They made Kiper look bad by taking Manuel higher than he projected. He under estimated how in demand Manuel was and it made him look bad. These grades have nothing to do with how good or bad the players are but rather just how well teams drafted according to Kipers board. But Kipers board is only one mans projections which based off how high he had a lot of players who fell a lot farther than he thought means he is prone to mistakes. That being said I like Kiper but he has to be taken with a grain of salt. McShay I just hate I don't consider his opinion to be worth anything.

The way I look at it is the Bills likely have enough cap space to sign their rookies and have a good amount of money left over to sign Byrd and bring in a vet or two if they so choose. So why at this point when free agency is over for the most part would we cut Brad Smith who would at least give us depth at WR and be able to be used in some gadget plays. Unless they need the room to extend Byrd I don't see it happening there wouldn't be enough of a benefit

I live in New Jersey too and I too hear a lot from Jets fans. The opinion of Brandon Moore I got was that he was a decent guard. Not great but not good but not terrible either. That's what I hear, and from the times I watch the Jets I see Brandon Moore as being decent.

I still think we should bring in Dansby on a one or two year deal, less than 3 million per. We are uber thin at MLB even with Kiko. If Sheppard and Kiko take the job from him good but what if we get injuries there? I don't buy into the idea that signing Dansby would take away playing time from a young player. If a guy like Brandham or Sheppard gets benched for Dansby than they simply weren't good enough.

I don't mind them separating the 1st round as a Thursday night event. But personally I wouldn't mind seeing them shifting over the 2nd and 3rd round to Saturday afternoon and 4-7 to Sunday. I don't like the placement of rounds 2 and 3 on a Friday night. And these tributes they keep shoehorning into the draft are silly. If every pick has some sort of tribute then it becomes meaningless.

I still think Nix is going to bring in a guard either off the waiver wire or a current free agent. It seems like we need at least another body along the O-line.

I don't think its an O-Line Heavy draft because there were so many great O-linemen. I think it was more so that it was a good draft for O-lineman and a terrible draft for QB's and other positions which vaulted a lot of O-lineman up the board. I would have liked for them to take a flyer on a Guard in the 5th but I guess they will scour the waiver wire and free agents for a guard. Brandon Moore is still out there wouldn't be a bad stop gap.

A lot of "experts" who say we over reached for EJ saying that he would have been there in the late 2nd or early 3rd or even in the 3rd or 4th (like McShay Who had EJ as he 6th rated QB) were over blowing it to cover up their horrendous prognostications and bad draft boards. I think we still could have traded back to the 20-25 range and maybe picked up another 3rd and 5th or 6th and still gotten EJ. I think there were a lot of teams that were looking to trade back into the late 1st to take EJ.

If 40 times determined success then the Oakland Raiders would be a lot more successful than the have been the past few seasons. Just saying simply having fast guys doesn't equate to success.

I like describing him as simply a DB, this defense is very interesting can't wait to see how it comes together.

We had a lot of holes on this roster and realistically outside of picks in the first 3 or 4 rounds we aren't going to be able fill holes with draft picks realistically. I thought TE and Guard were the needs largely ignored by Nix and company. Chandler and Urbik were pulled off the waiver wire. Maybe Nix feels like the can get guys off waivers or that are still on the market for cheap. Have to think that TE just isn't high up on the list for Nix for whatever reason.

Best draft ever? It could be if EJ pans out but its a risky draft for sure. I like the WR's and MLB that we picked up in the 2nd and 3rd rounds but it all depends on how they pan out.

Good pick Bills have needed a kicker for a least a couple of seasons now, Lindell use to be a guy who was excellent inside 40, very reliable 41-46, and able to make a field goal 47-52 a decent amount of the time. His range topped out in the early 50's. But now anything in the mid 40's is dicey and its almost impossible for the guy to hit 50. Having an accurate kicker who tops out at 50 yards is not a bad thing but Lindell is no longer that guy.

I liked David Nelson... but we went from completely devoid talent outside of Stevie to having a lot potential there. Overall I still think it could be rough at WR but its good that the Bills tried to address this position. TJ could also have a better impact in his second year too. Hopefully putting two high picks and taking a chance on a high potential UDFA pays off.

Love this pickup as a UDFA, low risk high reward and exactly the type of receiver we need big and fast.To burn a pick on such a volatile guy would have been a mistake but the talent is too enticing too not take a flyer on. Even with Goodwin and Woods we still need some depth and talent at WR and we really could use a big body. The worst case scenario is we cut the guy, best case is we get some talent at a position we need help with.

Wish they thought about going with a guard or tightend here but its a 5th rounder can't complain too much probably going to want him to play special teams, maybe they aren't high on Searcy.

Say what you will about this draft but the Bills with their 1st 4 picks really targeted the key positions that were lacking on the roster. Team desperately needed a QB, MLB, and some WR's they got them (Wither or not they are any good remains to be seen). Good to see them add a good talent at WR in the UDFA process guy has talent that should have been drafted a lot higher

I don't hate the pick. Big arm, mobile, healthy, and some of his flaws might be coachable. My major concern is his accuracy is described as above average but not great but not great and his mechanics need some work. I keep hearing that mechanics are coachable but in recent years few QB's have been able to change mechanics. Throw in that his accuracy might be a concern and I am officially wait and see on this guy. I would have loved this pick had the Bills been able to trade down just a few more picks. Trade down to the early to mid 20's pick up a extra 2nd or 3rd and another late rounder and it would have helped this team a lot. Still loved the original trade down.

My only issue with taking EJ was we could have made one more trade down and still got EJ. If you felt like there was going to be a huge run on QB's come the beginning of round 2 you could have easily traded back to the early to mid 20's and gotten EJ. adding another 2nd or 3rd plus picking EJ would have been a coup. Having 3 2nd rounders or 2nd's and 2 3rd's plus another 6th would have been excellent. The EJ pick is going to make the Bills look like morons or secret geniuses. Just glad we made the initial trade down. Two somewhat early seconds and a third should help fill some holes on this roster. Still would have been nice to add a couple of more picks before taking EJ.
