Green Lightning

It's the rite of spring. All things are possible. And deep within the hearts of even the most bitter and negative of the TBD posters lies a kernal of hope and excitement. I love the draft!

Hope you're right about that. I don't want that POS dog killer on the Bills.

This is the best draft for a NT in recent years! We need a two down run stuffer then bring in Kyle on third down.

yeah - served with beast mode stew

We'll see. It shouldn't take long to find out.

No one will give a first rounder for Evans! If someone wants to, great! But that is just crackerdogs. Lee's the one decent receiver we have. Let's be realistic on this page!

First off, don't panic. The Sabres just won the division with virtually the same team that missed the playoffs last year. A key addition here and there will make a big impact. Concentrate and running the ball and stopping the run. Build for that and the QB situation automatically improves (as someone on this thread pointed out...see Flacco and Sanchez) Build inside out and we will be a team to be reckoned with.

If we have a decent line in front of whoever it is and we move the ball and win games....I'm good. The starting QB is Chan's and Buddy's call and they have both forgotten more about football than any of us wannabes are going to learn. As long as it isn't the dog killer Vick, just win baby.

Agree. Get a NT and the best OT left. PASS ON SPILLER!!!!

Good read. I have to agree on this take on Nix and QB's. Given what the FO has said about solving the QB issue before the draft, if no trade or deal is made, I have to believe Buddy's going to go QB at #9. I'm not crazy about Claussen, but at this point, I have to just say "In Buddy we trust." If he' sold on Claussen, I'm going to go with it.

Okay. I can't find a ton of fault with this scenario. Still like to get a big nasty guard so Wood can play center.

No. Saints are just a better team all the way around. Brees didn't hit many bombs. his short passes chewed up the Colts. Understand, our lines suck. We can't run, we can't stop the run. We can't pass block or get off the field on third down. Brees wouldn't fix that.

No way a second.....NO EFFFIN WAY. A 3rd tops or unload Donte - or Marshawn or Shobel.

I agree 100% The new FO boys are not kneejeck. Build us a young, strong and tough team through the draft and don't worry about the negative nabobs and their constant handwringing.

Ridiculous. Maybe if Donahoe were here. Ask the Texans if they regret not taking Reggie Bush? Running backs have a short life span and there's plenty of good ones. There are only a handful of great LT's, NT's and QB's and we need one of each. This is a deep draft for wide bodies and we need to focus on that.

He's not suited for the 3-4? He's 6' 6" and weighs 350 pounds! What the Hell is he suited for, a speed rusher? He just doesn't want to play NT because it's hard work and not glamorous. Poor Fat Albert! He's got a $21mil bonus coming and he doesn't want to play NT. Boo Frickety hoo. Who needs that crybaby underachiever at that money? Maybe they'll cut him before the big pay day and and he can ponder what position he feels like playing this year.

You forgot stopping the run. You don't have to rush the passer if your line is blown up for 200 yards plus rushing every game. We need and OT, NT, LB and QB and you all can fight about the order, but no success unless we get all of them.

We don't "have" to take him if he's a reach at #9. I guess Buddy knows best, but we need OL and DL and we need them pronto or no QB will be left standing and we'll never get off the field on 3rd down. We need wide bodies!

Wed don't "gotta" do anything with Claussen. He's so good the Redskins gave up a boatload of picks instead of grabbing they guy. We need big bodies this draft and a QB later on. I see nothing in Claussen that merits a #9 pick.

That's crap. McNabb chose Washington over the Bills and Raiders. Get over it. Buddy made a good offer and the guy didn' twant to come here. So let's move on and quit blaming the FO for every little set back in your life.

Yeah, we get it. But the guy comes from a great system that has demonstrated success. So that's a great place to draw FO talent from.

Jeez, don't you hate when facts get in the way? Good catch. Fact is McCoy should be on our radar. We have a tall QB now that didn't accomplish much in college and has has the same results at this level. It would be nice to have someone who knows how to win.

Agreed. I'm just freaking happy to have football guys back ay OBD.

That's just asinine. What the Hell is wrong with you? I'm no fan of Trent but that kind of thought has no place on this board.

Yup, that's exactly right. Plus Wright got blown off the line many, many times. He was tough but just too small. Same with Kyle. He's not built to tie up two OL , he's meant to penetrate.
