Doubt it, but I look forward to hearing the explanation. Like maybe the draft is too long anyway.

Agree. Makes no sense.

But they would have gotten him two spots later.

No. So why?

I would guess that both Kuch and Barron were rated higher on the Bill's board. Thats the rub. He's a solid pick, we got a very good player. Mayock had him rated #8 overall.

If we are drafting a guard, it should be DeCastro. Glenn is said to be best in pass pro. I don't question that if people who have seen him a lot are all saying it. What I thought I noticed tho was he has a bob or hop in his kick step that makes me think he could have problems with maintaining his balance in dealing with a good bull rush or other DE pass rush moves. On the other hand I've also heard some say that he is heavy footed, even some of his supporters. From what little I saw of him at the combine his feet seemed very agile and quick for a man that size. Rightly or wrongly I somehow don't see him as a JPeters clone physically and in his movements especially. For better or worse I think there is only one JP.

And G-Tech is terrific at recruiting truly great receivers - and hardly ever using them LOL

You are right about Wilson IMO. Play action is not only very good, but important in his case because he then leverages off of that to roll left or right with the ability to throw with strength and accuracy to either side. Also his mobility lets him find the lanes so his height (or lack thereof) is much less important, you know, exactly the way Drew does it. he could wind up being very difficult to defend.

I guess the hate never ends. Now Mallet is a meth head (oh, I know, it was "reported"). Comical. If he was on meth he wouldn't be on an NFL roster. He would be on the street or in a hospital ward.

I know it sounds crazy, but I actually feel sorry for Steve Johnson. I like him as a player and a person. I don't think his agent will be getting many calls from new clients in the coming months.

My friend is a long time Giants fan in NY who knows his football (much better than me) and certainly knows the Giants roster. When I asked him about Manningham he said "He seems to make the difficult catches but not nearly consistent and I don’t think he's a number one go to receiver…but with stevie johnson he could be a nice complement." Another guy, a Rams fanatic ( he has suffered like us in recent years) who also really knows his stuff said "Manningham is a perfect fit for them (meaning the Bills). Offer him the same deal that Johnson got." So some knowledgeable fans seem to think he'd be a nice complement to Stevie anyway. For myself, I always like Manningham when at Mich. Is and always was a playmaker. I think he would upgrade our receiving corps on the outside. I can also see why Meachem was their first choice amongst FAs. Glad at least they are not doing anything stupid like signing someone like Robinson to a big contract.

Agree but if he continues to suck, badly, that will say something about Mayock. He was an incredibly asserive supporter of the Gabbert camp. If he just made a mistake-no big deal. Everybody makes mistakes. But his support was sooooo egregious and unqualified. I have no doubt that with the tens of millions at stake, the politics of the draft maybe get pretty dirty. Maybe Mayock isn't the sacred oracle that many give him credit for being.

Good point.

I'm mulling Mayock over. Not ready to give him all the kudos. As an announcer, his live action "insights" are pretty much what any observer paying attention should know. As a draft analyst sorry but I just cannot accept his unabashed and vigorous support of Gabbert. If he made a mistake I could easily not hold that against him. Talent evaluation is an arcane science. Everybody seems to make mistakes. What is not clear however is whether he was "bought" by Gabbert's agent, Tom Condon. Lots of money on the table every April. So IMO the jury is still out on Mayock.

I look at Steve and see: 1) A guy that is a much better athlete than I will ever be; 2)a guy who has a much more flamboyant and attractive personality than I have; 3)a guy who has a much better sense of humour than I do; 3)a guy (unlike me) who does not have a mean bone in his body 4) a guy who probably had to work harder than me to develop his skillset; 5)a guy who is a good family man (the fact that I may not have the same qualities/values does not prevent me from admiring them in others) Sometimes I get the impression that some people hate on the guy just because they are resentful & jealous. Well I'm far from perfect, some would say a loser maybe, but at least I'm not part of that MOFSOB crowd.

Rams badly need to draft that Mr Blackmon person. If Atlanta can trade its entire draft for Julio Jones, it would take as much to get that #2 pick.

I saw Bill laughing and doing high fives with Tom on the sideline after that call on Levitre. After reading your post I closed my eyes and tried to conjure up an image of Tom Brady making a tackle. Could'nt do it. Saw him in a pink uniform wearing a tutu and trying to have relations with Giselle instead.

RG3 is worth that jump IMO. More TDs than incompletions in his first three games this year. Probably wouldnt be enuf tho.Agree Luck is likely the better prospect.

Pick Martin and you are probably set at that position for the next ten years. You can then also expand your playbook, more 5 step drops and the possibilty of a vertical game when it comes in handy, assuming you have a QB and receivers who can do it.

I hear you but I would still much rather take Martin instead of say Coples.

I think you're right. Refs said it was a prop. Since when is a Tshirt a prop? They probably got their wise heads together before the game and figured out, rule book in hand, exacly what they would do if Stevie did this or did that. Problem is they don't know the rules (as evidenced by the Florence/Brady incident) or how to interpret them and they got it wrong.

Mike who?

So do we draft Richardson if he falls to us (which I doubt)?

I thought Levitre would be good when I saw him absolutely neuter Rey Malualuga a few years back. Nasty. Nice to see him fulfill his potential. He is one bad dude. I agree with this, sort of. Bell is a good LT (especially in pass pro). Durability is the issue. Hairston was IMO a steal as a fourth round pick. He is a weird looking guy, but I think he has a high ceiling at either O tackle position.

Certainly would not. If the Bills were in the playoffs the Ralph would definitely be rocking. Funny that the Bengals are getting no support. They are just a couple of premier players away from dominating their division IMO. Watch them draft a CB with elite potential to replace Joseph.
