hmmm..he's really kicking ass in free agency. The only movement i'm seeing in free agency is bufflao bills getting out of buffalo as fast as they can. Kelley Washington is a real stretch. We weren't in the running for Dansby, who would have been a major contribution, and a nice major target in free agency. If the bills are going to keep from getting worse (and they already are not very good) they ahave to keep their best players, get a QUALITY free agent or even two and go into the draft with a strategy to fix the offensive line. Having a private workout for Tim Tebow? WTF. I say this with the firm belief that Tebow will will almost certainly be a very good nfl player at tight end or h back, and the possibility that he will eventually be good at qb. He is not a pick for us at 9, and frankly we don't have the luxury of taking a chance on him. I'm not going to be too pessimistic when we haven't even gone through the draft yet. I think there is an opportunity to get better sooner rather than later if we are smart in the draft. Their really should be some action in free agency and trades. Gaither from the Ravens is an obvious target if the right deal can be worked out.

Bingo...what kills me is that they said it while we were drafting and could have had him. The same group that said we shouldn't move for Haloti Ngata because he didn't "fit" our defensive scheme. Gaither is a great option, but I wouldn't give up a first for him. We need a right tackle and probably a gaurd as well and number 9 could let us completely fix the offensive line. Maybe a second and a player such as Whitner or Lynch, although I don't see them needing anyone in either of their positions.

I've been following this guy since Tennessee (he was a quarterback there before going to WR). I expected him to be in the Peerless Price, Donte Stallworth, Robert Meachem mode, but he hasn't yet been the "star" receiver. I know he has been a standout special teams player and will be very interested in seeing him play for us. I can't imagine we broke the bank getting him, and he may actually be a very good addition to the team. Good call Buddy...kind of makes up for your screwing up on Incognito.

chester taylor is a great player, but I'm not seeing him as a major target for us. Too many other glaring problems in about five other positions for us to go killing ourselves where we already have one good and one very serviceable back.

Garcia is approaching 40 and hasn't done much in the recent past. However he has a lot of experience coming into new teams and playing well, knows the game and probably would help a new qb get acclimated. He isn't my first choic (Vick or McNabb) but he might be a very acceptable answer to the immediate problem. Leaves lots of money to work on other free agent possibilities at linebacker, d-line and/or o-line. I think signing him might not be a bad idea at all.

I think that was Alfred Hitchcock presents. Good one for a neat twist though!

Careful...I actually graduated from South Park.

maybin compensates for his lack of talent with his WTF attitude

No..he's too aggressive for us. He hits people too hard and gets real mad when he plays. We don't want players like him. We need nice players who aren't all hung up on that winning and losing crap. Seriously? I think this is a very very bad omen...I'm skeptical of thenew crew and I hope this isn't the first of a series of bad personnel moves. Incognito played well in the games he played and would have AT LEAST been an excellent backup.

Not tendering Incognito seems a pretty stupid move. He played well in the few games in which he started and would have been a nice backup even if Wood did return. I'm hoping this isn't the first of a string of stupid personnel moves.

hmmm..eighth would seem a lot better than uh....LAST? Note that Long and Ferguson were first round picks and Vollmer a second round, 58th overall pick. Bell is not the answer. Why can't people see what is obvious, that our biggest problem and the one that needs immediate attention is the offensive line, and that the way to do that in a draft strong on Offensive tackles is to draft one of the top tackles? Buddy...Chan....are you listening?

kawika...from your lips to God's ear. Heck...from your lips to chan's ear...or even to Buddy "can't do" Nix's ear.

Jeff Garcis might still have alittle bit in the tank and could be an actual "stop-gap" quarterback for next season. He has been well traveled and played well when called upon. Gradkowski played well for Oakland and they might be wanting to keep him, but if available he might be worth taking a flyer on.

No matter how you cut it Suh, Okung, Berry, Bradford are going in the first five or six picks...almost for sure. These are blue chip players (except Bradford...but he's the best of a poor qb crop and someone on the bottom will have to take a chance on him.) Baluga, Davis, Williams, and McLain and a few others are great players in the next batch and I'm sure there will be some more defensive linemen in the mix at this level as well. I'm tickled that we will certainly have a choice at one of the best players in the draft at 9. It would be pretty hard to screw this up.

Give up our first and second round pick and possibly more to get a qb who is injured and would probably go in the late first or early second round in any other draft? Wow...the present coaching and front office would be a "stop-gap" crew if they did that. I'd be missing Tom Donohue...hell I'd be missing Hank Bullough and Kaye Stephenson!!!!

You don't rebuild a team by talking about what yuou "can't" do this year. I'd like to hear what his goal for this year is. How about a winning record? How about making the playoffs? If he wants to be a real reacher, how about winning the division (yeah...that'll happen) I think you get things done by talking about what you can do not by whining about what you can't do.

Recently the most awesome of twists was The Perfect Getaway with Steve Zahn A young mild-mannered American couple, Cliff and Cydney are celebrating their honeymoon by hiking to a remote beach in Hawaii. The couple comes across two hitchhikers, Cleo and Kale, and a group of frightened hikers discussing a double murder in Honolulu of another newlywed couple on the island, with the victims having their teeth pulled out and their fingerprints gone, and they begin to question whether they should turn back. Unsure whether to stay or flee, Cliff and Cydney join up with another couple, Nick, who claims to have a titanium plate in his head and be a former special forces operative and an Iraq War veteran, and his longtime Georgian girlfriend, Gina, a former butcher. Far from civilization or rescue, everyone begins to look like a threat and nobody knows whom to trust.Cliff asks kale whether he is following him. At some point on the island, Kale and Cleo are arrested when they are found by authorities with a container of pulled teeth in their bag. The story progresses to one hell of a twist ending.

looking at the mock drafts it seems Suh, Bradford, Berry, Okungand McCoy are top five with Baluga, Haden, Clausen, Davis, Williams, McLain in the next batch. Clausen seems to be predicted going before nine, but might hang on to nine, if the three second batch tackles are chosen 6,7 and 8. I don't see that happening, and I don't see people who might need a franchise safety passing on Eric Berry (some talk about him in the same sentence as Ed Reed). Worst case situation? We get the best linebacker on the board. I think that would be just fine, especially given that there is such a bepth of good OT's we might get lucky in round 2. I think we can go a LONG way toward rebuilding the team with this draft.

If Vick came in he would be our quarter back for two or three years at least. I don't consider that a "stop-gap" or temporary expedient by any means. Buddy maybe "can't do it all" in one year but he can rebuild without relying on stop-gaps. A good draft and good personnel decisions in free agency and trade should bring in two OT's a DT and a DE, a QB (Vick) and a good 3-4 linebacker to go with the stock we have including Maybin (for whatever he may be worth). I don't see it as something that hard to do given the strenght of the offensive and defensive linemen in the draft, the trade potential of Lynch and Whitner and free agency. We'll see...I think stop-gap is a clear loser mentality.

you're probably all too young to remember but I do believe that the twist ending in Wait Until Dark with Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin was the first of many iterations of the same theme used for years, but was TERRIFYING at the time. Now its almost a given and I got the biggest kick out of its use in the film Scream where it is predicted as a monster movie cliche.

I think that we almost have to draft an LT in the first round and it is quite likely one of the four blue chippers will be available. We could do worse than to pick a second OT in the second. We are weak or non-existent at both tackles. Further we need depth at tackle as they do seem to get injured throughout the season, let alone an injury that knocks them out for the season. Third, it is not impossible that a good OT can play a utility backup gaurd. That being said, if there are great defensive linemen available, or a terrific linebacker, we might go that way in round 2. I suspect we will finish this draft with 5 or so linemen if we are really going to begin the job of rebuilding.

Its not saying it that bothers me...its believing it that is a surefire route to failure. stop·gap   /ˈstɒpˌgæp/ Show Spelled[stop-gap] Show IPA –noun 1.something that fills the place of something else that is lacking; temporary substitute; makeshift: Candles are a stopgap when the electricity fails. If Buddy is looking for "temporary expedients" as opposed to rebuilding we are truly doomed.

Berry is a blue chipper and may go in the top three. I suspect that three of the four LT candidates will be gone by 9, but it is only a remote chance that all four will be gone. Bruce Campbell is a bit of a stretch, but has done well at the combine, and folks seem very favorably inclined. If things do happen to go the way your predict there will be some killer defensive linemen and at least one great linebacker available to us. I think we're in pretty good shape at 9 to help ourselves.

Troy Aikman would be a good choice. Bradford and Clausen aren't Troy Aikman...hell...they aren't much more than Trent Edwards or JP Losman.

Buddy should be fired if he is talking or thinking "stop gap" instead of rebuilding. To begin rebuilding...Offensive Line LT and RT, Defensive Line, DT QB (free agent or Vick in a trade). He does that he might go into the playoffs this year.. stop gap....I'm beginning to think we're doomed before the draft.
