I agree. At this point, however, I feel the position is open to whoever performs in training camp. I am pulling for Brohm though because I do like his upside. That being said I wouldn't mind Edwards if he is checking down to Spiller

I agree that he would be a practice squadder. While I was reading I was thinking he sounds decent until I got to the part where he is described as not a good option for a team that emphasizes the run. It looks like that is going to be our offensive philosophy this year, at least. Sidenote: I like the Miracle on Ice quote in your signature, Rfeynman

I've never even heard of the QB this guy has us taking, but I don't watch too much college football. Anybody know anymore on him? Is he a true first round prospect?

That's possible, but I think he may stick around just for veteran depth since so many of our WRs are young and inexperienced now. I do like Hardy and Johnson and hope that one of them if not both can break out this season. I also think Nelson has a chance to have a good year, he looked solid last year when he wasn't hurt. Made a few nice catches. As for the other players mentioned in the article, I think Levitre has a bright future ahead of him with the Bills, Carrington and Maybin should contribute this year and will only continue to get better and as for Brohm, I have no inclination whether or not he will be anything good, but it would be great if he broke out.

I don't know much about Gabriel, but from what I heard I would be on board with him joining our scouting department.

Good post, I appreciate your thoughts on the draft.

Good post. Easley has a lot to contribute and is just getting started. He definitely could beat out Hardy and/or Johnson for a big role on offense this year. Heck, with a little luck and some good coaching, he could turn into a pretty damn good #1 wide receiver, he has the tools necessary. Besides, I think Lee would be much more effective as a #2. Just my two cents.

Didn't we already have a huge, pointless, head-ache inducing Lee Evans thread started by Billsfan=pain a while ago? I thought he might give us more time to recuperate from that last one...

I take it you're a glass half empty guy?

I suppose so, I mean we signed that kid from the Lions!! What else could we want?

I completely agree. No way would he have made it to their next pick. Therefore, I fully disagree with anyone who calls this pick a reach. Good post +1 Glad you see it that way now. I think that many people who had problems with the draft at first like you may come to like it over time.

Edwards may start, he may not. It IS open competition at this point. Gailey may be "leaning" towards Edwards since he technically is the incumbent starter, but I think Brohm has a pretty good shot at taking over. Fitzpatrick remains a back-up, if he makes the team now with Brown's presence, IMO.

I just want to say I like his upside, FWIW.

Exactly. I listen to them, but try to formulate my own opinions without mindlessly following a talking head's guidance.

That occurred to me shortly after he was drafted. Sort of makes me glad Gailey is giving Captain Checkdown another shot Interesting thought. I'm sure we will find a way to gripe anyhow

After reading this thread I was thinking the same thing... To make this post relevant, I have to say I like this Troup kid and don't give a crap what some 'experts' have to say about him or where he was drafted. He's a true 3-4 NT and will contribute right away, greatly helping our run defense. Sounds like good value in round 2 to me.

That's plausible as well. I wouldn't like it, but it's plausible...

Interesting for sure. If this turned out to be true, I would think the Steelers would take a shot at Clausen.

I agree with the above sentiments that Jacksonville would be wise to draft him, but I could also see the Vikings doing so late in the first. Either way, I really doubt he knows for sure.

The more I think about it, if I were the Bills I wouldn't worry about a QB until the fourth round at the earliest. The first three picks need to address OT, NT and either WR or OLB, IMO.

As someone kindly pointed out earlier, BR would come into the locker room as a default leader and honestly, whether or not the accusations are true, his image is tainted and I wouldn't want him to become the new poster boy of the franchise. Additionally, if you will continue to go back into the thread, a poster points out that a former Steeler questioned his relationship with the team and that players with young daughters weren't particularly amused with his off the field actions. Again, I am not saying any of this is true because I cannot rightly know, but I seriously do not think he is 'a perfect fit' or a 'sure thing'. If anything, I think his acquisition would have blown up in Nix's face eventually. Addressing that bolded part - I'm sure that's what the Steelers said after the first time.

+1 Woot!

And now that you mention it, I'm sure he had serious input on this decision. Maybe he knows more than the media? Who knows?
