DC Grid

I'd be happy to see the Bills ditch Troupe. He's a far more likely replacement for Taylor, given their respective sizes, but I have no idea if the Browns would even give up a 7th for him.

Didnt they announce this over a month ago?

I vote Kelsay. He is unjinxable.

4.80 40? At 6'3" 250 Lbs, I'd buy a Sub 4.8 20....but that's about it.

Did they have video of him growing 4 inches taller?

+1

1. Gilmore - Satisfied 2. Barron - A little puzzeled 3. Kuechly - Ecstatic 4. Floyd - Satisfied 5. any LT other than Kalil - If this happens at 10, depressed 6. a trade up for Kalil - Happy, as long as they didn't give up more than their second and first to do so 7. Tannehill - Excited but scared. Like screwing a really hot girl you just met without a condom. Could be awesome...but likely to end badly.

Peter King just reported that a lot of people in San Francisco are absolutely obsessed with Cox.

Two more just as relevant words: Jim Kelly

Tannehill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah just when some were starting to change their perception of him, he fails a drug test to cemment his fall out of the draft.

I assume he'd be given another extension. Gotta lock him up forever.

Dear John, I saw in your contribution to the ESPN People's Mock Draft that you thought Dre Kilpatrick ("aka Kirkpatrick") was a strong possibility (reading between the lines of what you wrote, hopefully correctly). I was wondering why you thought this was the case? (Heard any rumblings to support this, etc?) I've been thinking for quite some time that Kilpatrick is the selection as Buddy Nix is big on established SEC players, needs more CB help badly, and sees the WR position far deeper than that of CB in this draft. But it seems like most draft evaluators aren't that high on Kilpatrick, and see him as the third ranked CB in this draft, at best (behind Claibourne and Gilmore). I think the dude is like a super-sized version of Antoine Winfield, he wont have a lot of picks, but he'll give you blanket coverage and can bring the hammer in run support. I basically was hoping to see if there was anything else behind your blurb. Thanks

Wow...a preemptive I told you so. Always a bold move but when you combine it with the fact that Blackmon: 1 - will get taken ahead of Floyd, 2 - is widely considered light years better by the majority of draft experts, and 3 - will have a far better career this is just an amazing post. I don't particularly mind Floyd beign selected by the Bills at ten, but if Blackmon is on the board this isn't even a close call. Blackmon isn't Megatron or Larry Fitz, but he is a complete prospect who at his worst will be another Anquan Bolden. Floyd on the otherhand is an injury prone player who has yet to live up to his full potential and might have a drinking problem. That's an awful lot of red flags to overcome.

Any tips of what to do up there? Me and the group I drag to Buffalo annually for a sick weekend are hitting this game and as Ive never been to Toronto I have no idea what there is to do besides make fun of the canuks.

Wow...better hurry up and trade for Hoyer before you can pick him up cheap as a UFA next offseason. Mallett looked like crap in extended play last preseason, Hoyer's looked ok in preseason work, but a lot of junk QBs do. I pray the Bills arent stupid enough to give up a pick for one of these nobodys.

Drafting a DT at ten? Why not draft a DT every round? Seems just as reasonable.

Kuechly would be awesome and I do believe he could play all three LB positions. If Buddy truly sticks with BPA Kuechly has to be it...if he's there at 10. Not because they play the same way or have the same talent, but the situation reminds me a lot of Von Miller last year and Denver. Von wasn't the perfect scheme fit (made more sense in a 3-4 than a 4-3 which Denver runs) and it wasn't clear where he would fit, but Denver saw a clear talent, so they took him and hit a home run. I see Kuechly being the same thing.

You can never be sure. You cant be sure that Luck and RG3 have higher grades on every team's draft boards than Tannehill....but you can draw reasonable conclusions from what is generally being said and what you see. There is a reason soooo many people say Glenn is a guard...not a Tackle. In the end perhaps the proof of what I'm saying will be where Glenn goes if the bills dont take him at 10...my bet is he doesnt go before 20.

If they want Glenn they'd be wise to trade down a good bit, because he is a big reach at 10. They could likely trade down ten spots and still be guaranteed to get Glenn, and a move like that would get them at least an extra third. Then I could see making that move. Otherwise Glenn at 10 is a bitter pill to swallow.

I'm enjoying football as much as I can now, because between concussions and the dismantling of defense and special teams, NFL will be nothing more than soccer in pads within another 20 years.

On the plus side if those truly are the replicas they have in the pics they're greatly improved over the completely mesh replicas of the past.

If Blackmon is there, he's got to be the pick. But I voted for Reiff because Blackmon will be gone by 6 at the latest.

Reiff could go at 7 to Jax or if Miami passes on Tannehill, or gets jumped by another team taking him, they might also grab Reiff. At worst Reiff is a stud RT and tons better than Bulaga, who is a solid starting RT for the Pack. Blackmon will never make it to 10. I like Floyd too though and wouldnt be sad to see the Bills grab him at 10. Nothing's certain, but there is a reason Hairston was a 4th rounder and Reiff will be a 1st. Hairston couldn't even unseat an OT Bell after he came back from injury. The same Bell the Bills were happy to let walk, when keeping him was cheap. Hairston played well in spurts but was inconsistent and is a long way from being a dependable starter. Given the opportunity to address Hairston this offseason, Chan has gone out of his way to point out that Hairston has a lot of work to do before the team can count on him. If Reiff was on the Bills it would shock most NFL observers if he wasn't starting over Hairston. That's the reason so many draft experts have the Bills taking Reiff.

Reiff is in no way a reach at 10....heck there's a good chance he flys off the board before 10. The main issue with him is he might not be a true LT long term. That said he'd be far better an OT than any thing the Bills will start this year at LT or RT.
