Probably most of the bottom 5 or 6 teams.

So you wanted Nix to take Tebow at #9?? Lets face facts, the only QB in this years draft worthy of a first round pick (and maybe just worth a **** in general) was Bradford. If Nix had taken Tebow straight up at #9 I would be far more pissed than you seem to be now. I don't like Spiller at #9 either (like the kid, just not for us at #9) but Tebow at #9 ... holy !@#$ing reach Batman! All in all I'm a little disappointed they didn't trade #9 for a few more first and second picks instead of taking a smallish RB. But I figure this is a 3 year rebuild minimum so they can get a QB next draft (QB class seems to be a lot stronger anyway).

I agree with not grading the draft. But Spiller was a big need pick? Well I guess they needed something to get the asses into the seats at the Ralph this season with no TO-ish FA signing. And a talented "waterbug" will certainly do that more than any lineman. So unless you meant that, I'm not sure what big need you feel a RB fills on this team.

Yeah it does seem like a bargain basement price. Particularly sad we missed out if Nix knew he wasn't going to draft a QB this year. A QB of the future he is not, but he is a clear upgrade to our current CFL caliber QBs. Ahh well, in Buddy we trust, right?

Yeah I suppose it could confuse the people watching on TV making them think there are watching a "vintage" college football game. And it might confuse the defense trying to decide if the Bills are going to run, or throw a screen.

Thanks, it was almost a full week without reading a Ralph dying post.

Very true. Besides, I suspect he is happier it turned out this way anyway. So Ralph and Nix didn't want him (uh huh) and he ended up in Denver instead of Buffalo. Everyone wins! Well, except maybe Brady Quinn

I don't recall reading where anyone thought Spiller sucked or shouldn't be on the Bills. Some just question drafting him straight up at #9.

Seems like a nice kid.

According to this, Nix had no interest in Tebow at all. That is, of course, if you believe what Buddy is selling during this "interview". Which I don't - The Bills marketing machine put out that interview, just too quick and hardcore of a denial for me to believe it. It just smacks too much of "we didn't F up, we never wanted him in the first place".

Could have been any of the top 4. There was serious talent up there.

So Nix claims he never had any plans to make any kind of play for Tebow. Assuming that's true and not a smokescreen color me even more confused over Spiller at #9. Ahhh well Buddy it is your team now. Go prove me wrong.

Won't it chap your ass if we trade up to get him now.

You do realize you are talking about our possible starter this season now that we lost Tebow, right

Tom Brady: NFL Draft: 2000 / Round: 6 / Pick: 199 I have to admit disappointment so far. Not in Spiller himself, I have no doubt he will be an outstanding RB in the NFL. But I would have rather them traded down and gotten a extra 1st or 2nd instead. The only thing that makes sense to me is Nix went in wanting Spiller and Tebow. Then grab whatever linemen they could after that. If they didn't take Spiller at #9 they would have lost him. The plan then was to trade back up into the first (Lynch and a second maybe?) and take Tebow. Our rookie GM couldn't quite pull that off, but Denver was able to. Interesting situation in Denver now, trading for Quinn a month ago and now trading up for Tebow.

I agree completely. You better be able to run when you play the Jets because it is going to be very tough to pass against them.

Yes ESPN showed it and let him read the pick. Very cool of them.

Agreed. Which makes it all the more sad.

The way linemen are dropping off there won't be anything left worth taking the next time we pick. There already might not be much left.

A running back huh Buddy. Yeah he will probably be a good one, but with all the positions of serious, and I mean serious need, they pick a running back without even trading down. I guess you are Buffalo Bills FO material after all Buddy. Well at least it wasn' t a defensive back.

Their season ends in November. Doesn't count.

I hope he is available at #9. SF wants Clausen. We trade #9 to SF for their #13 and #17. They get Clausen. We get who Nix seems to want, Tebow, and another first rounder.
