Nothing wrong with that so long as they can play.

Edwards situation wasn't worse. He had the same head coach his entire career. Incompetent HC, but the same HC. Campbell has had three head coaches, and several offensive coordinators too. And Campbell has thrown for far more yards than Trent in their careers with similar adversities. Why is that?

He'll be long gone by the 5th round. Some other team will gamble bigger because he does haves first round talent. Late 2nd or early 3rd is my prediction.

No way. LoL. He does fumble. That can be rectified with a decent O-line. So can the sacks. I saw him start to throw the ball away last year too though, instead of taking those sacks. But the truth is, any QB trying to make a play is going to take sacks. I don' t know if he has a 2 cent brain either. I think the various coaches and coordinators he's been under have something to do with it. If they can get him for a low draft pick no reason not to. He would be better than any QB they could take in the low rounds for the foreseeable future. I understand folks not being high on Campbell. But I would say when a team is in the position that the Bills are in they need to think outside the box. Sometimes a guy needs a fresh start and better coaching. I don't think you can say Campbell isn't tougher than Trent. I don't think you can say he doesn't have a stronger arm than Trent or Fitz. Does their stats lie or are they as terrible as it looks? And as bad you say Campbell is he's put up more yards and TD's than either of them and played more games. I will take a QB with 3600 yards and 20 TD's in my lineup until I can find one who can put up 4000. Which could be Campbell if he gets protection.

McCoy's arm is not the "Buffalo" arm Nix described in his first interviews. Tebow, I'm not sold on either. I'm still not sure about that throwing motion or that all of his running skills translates to the NFL. If the Bills were more solid across the board then I wouldn't mind Tebow, but to me, in their current state, if the Bills take a guy in the first or second this year he better be starting or playing a lot. Is that Tebow?

He wasn't beat out by Grossman and he's not a backup. That's why they're trading him and keeping Rex.

I love this thread so far. Agree with all of the SENSIBLE posts.

Agreed. That's IF the opportunity presents itself. Depends on how the top of the draft goes. Who is there at 9 someone wants badly enough and believes Jacksonville, Denver or Miami would take before them?

No. If you trade up to #2 you take that LT. Bigger value and impact position for the money.

Dude, your stats are what you are. He didn't throw for over 3G's and 20 TD's because he has no arm or talent. It's not like he was working with Jerry Rice or the 90's Dallas O-line. He's got potential. He's got an arm, he's tough. And he was in a similar circumstance to Edwards and Fitz and still managed to do better than them. And I'm from B-Lo, but moved to DC as a kid. I KNOW you aren't sitting here telling us you are going by what Redskins fans say. LoL. Come on, man... They are the most unreasonable fans I have come across anywhere.

No. If they don't believe he can do the job for the long term then don't waste the pick it might take to get him. Don't need stop gaps. They already have stop gaps. Need guys with enough physical talent to compete to be the guy. Campbell has more prototypical physical dynamics than any QB on the roster. And toughness. And it would allow the Bills to focus on the lines in the draft as opposed to adding QB to the mix. I'm not saying he's the second coming. I am saying he has some redeeming qualities: young, prototypical size, strong arm, something to prove, toughness that might blossom into more than what he's been under the right circumstances. The right circumstances: a consistent offensive system that plays to his strengths, and an O-line. I believe Gailey can provide the system (he has a good track record with QB's) and Nix will handle the O-line. I think any of us would have loved to have Campbell's stats behind center last season and those stats were behind a terrible line without a dominant downfield receiving option or a consistent running attack. He had a similar situation to Edwards and Fitz and did better than both of them. He's also improved every year even though he's played under different coordinators and head coaches constantly since being drafted. For a 4th or later or a conditional pick in 2011 as opposed to this April, why not? He knows what the pro games is about; knows how to prepare unlike a draft pick at the QB position. He has a better chance of contributing at the QB position immediately compared to a draft pick. And we know the Bills could use immediate contributions. In a competition I believe he beats out Edwards and Fitz hands down.

McNabb going to the Skins is terrible for the Bills. Means they will more than likely go LT for sure. Hope the Lions take DT or the Bills could miss out on the top LT's. Don't be surprised if it's Spiller at 9.

Just imagine you would have to use two of the four to get another RB and another WR.

Agree on Graham. Bell and Meredith could be NFL starters. They are still young in the game. Some players take time to develop. Actually most do. Especially a guy like Bell who has played about 5 years of organized football in his life. Bulaga and Williams I have a feeling will be gone. Bills should trade down anyway and pick up another 2nd, but if they stay at 9 and the top tackles are gone don't be surprised if it's Spiller.

Maybe so, but they can trade down and still get Graham from 18-25. At 9? No sir.

Dude, Jacksonville won't take Tebow at 10. He might go in the late first round to a team like Minnesota or if someone traded up from the second round to the bottom of the first and that's a MIGHT; top ten of the second round more likely. Bills will not take him at 9. A guy who is a project will not sell tickets for any team if he's sitting on the bench. All this hype will die down when it's actually time for teams to hand in their selection card. He's too risky to blow a high number one pick on. But if the Bills take him in the second round I wouldn't be surprised to see Tebow running a spread offense next season as the starter.

I don't believe in a reach if you need a player. For instance, I would rather draft Dan Williams than the 4th LT at number 9. Williams is said to be a possibility to Denver and Miami two or three picks after the Bills select. So get him. He's a true NT and the Bills need one. I wouldn't even mind Spiller unlike most on the board. Can get LT in 2nd round.

He might be better than what we have, but a LT is not being drafted who can't step on the field from day one.

Why would they do this? They're on scholarship and being coached by men who are supposed to know the game. The coach has the job to prepare the players and strengthen their weaknesses for the benefit of the player who is playing in the system he runs. For instance, Urban Meyer does not run a pro style offense. So Tebow did not practice what pro QB's do. If his coaches are not saying he has issues and he's successful with the coaching he received, and he was, why would he believe he needed to do anything different? It's not like pro scouts are talking to these players before they are eligible for the draft saying your motion is bad. And it's not necessarily Meyer's job to make Tebow a pro QB. It's Meyer's job to make Tebow a University of Florida QB. If QB's want "pro" type coaching they need to play for a coach who runs a pro style offense.

I seriously doubt it. I could see them trading up into the bottom of the 1st or taking him in the second round. At 9 I don't think so. Now you might be right that they make a splash at #9, but that would be one C.J. Spiller.

VOLUNTARY. He won't win his job back in shorts. All that matters is when the pads get put on.

Not like we don't need a QB. His pro day will tell the tale. If he does as well as Bradford he will be in play.

two 6th's and two 7th's.

Clausen was much better than Brady Quinn as a collegiate QB. Not that I want him at 9. Pick him up later in round 1 after trading down or if he slips into the second, cool. It will all come down to his pro day. If he kills his like Bradford did all the negative talk about him will go away.

I doubt they would have to give up all of that. The 2nd and 6th should work. I wouldn't include anything in next years draft. This would be great if they could do it. Then trade out of 9 and get that 2nd round pick back or an extra 3rd.
