I also wouldn't mind if the next 3 went to the D-Line.

You got that right. We are not only looking at getting some FA starters in here, but also drafting some 2nd team players. I doubt that some draftee comes in and starts for us unless it's a future ProBowler (DaBrick) or possibly a guard like Jean-Gilles. Is that what you guys think?

Saw these guys in the Senior Bowl. Most impressed with Jean-Gilles, a mauler but good in space as well. His physique has been called in question at the practices but he's a playah. After the first series or two they had to adjust their defense for him. He'd probably be a trade-down into mid-RD#1, so maybe we get a third RD#3 or late #2 in addition for the trade down. The other one that impressed was Joseph. He'd most likely be a RD#2 pick at our current position. I loved DE Tamba Hali in this game and would combine those 3's to get him... He did abandon the outside once and got stung, but reminded me of a younger Dwight Freeney. I believe he had 3 sacks. He's Liberian, so the cold weather would also be a question mark.

The Buffalo Bills have among the fewest coaches in the league. I still think we'll be in the bottom 1/3 when all is said and done. Although there is still a lot of saying and doing for these guys to do.

Here's Who People Have Picked So Far.... I like the Haloti Ngata-Davin Joseph-Greg Eslinger picks myself in RD#1-2-3.

Roger the point about Gates not picking up the blitz effectively. I'd imagine that, if he does make the team, he'd have to beat Shaud in blocking effectiveness. The O-Line's improvement can cover just so much on 3rd downs...

Like the sound of this guy. Could be the Fewell that ignites an inconsistent defense, and may be a signal that Nate, Troy, and Lawyer have one more year. Fewell's strengths are in improving secondary players--guys like McGee, King, and younger players to be signed later.

Jon Scott, OT

Ralph is so cheap that when he takes a penny out of his pocket, Lincoln blinks at the light.

I hope I have the chance to watch the Senior Bowl. OL Scott is exactly who I'd be watching. I want a trade down to this guy if Brick isn't there.

Okay, I'm going to compile a summary of all TSW picks in all rounds and put it here: 3rd Annual TSW Draft Board

BGIM, I also like your draft on your sig line. Both are compelling for different reasons. I just don't know the reasons yet...

I feel the opposite. I've already heard a veteran --Villarial-- speak about the respect he has for the guy. I am optimistic we weren't one of the 7 clubs hiring a newbie to the HC position. I am also optimistic with the chances for a very good draft. I am more optimistic now than I was before.

I'm with ya. 4 guys in the Top 100 of the draft coming up, 2 good coordinators, and a healthy Spikes, Everett, etc. Looking forward to it, actually.

Are you "Deep Throat?" Or Deep Goat?

Here's a list of all head coaches with 10 or more playoff wins, and their records in years 1-3. I am encouraged by what I found. If you pick the right coach, you may not need wait long for the turnaround. Belichick: 11 playoff wins, 20-28 in his first 3 seasons in CLE, 11-5 in 2nd year at NE Cowher: 10 playoff wins,, 32-16 in his first 3 seasons in PGH, 11-5 his first year Gibbs: 17 playoff wins, 30-11 in his first 3 seasons in PGH, 8-1 his 2nd year there Grant: 10 playoff wins, 23-16 in his first 3 seasons in MIN, 12-2 his 3rd & 4th year Holmgren: 10 playoff wins, 27-21 in his first 3 seasons in GB, 9-7 his 1st year in SEA Levy: 11 playoff wins, 19-29 in his first 3 seasons in KC, 12-4 his 3rd year in BUF Lombardi: 10 playoff wins, 15-9 in his first 2 seasons in GB, 35-6 in the next 3 Noll: 16 playoff wins, 27-21 in his first 3 seasons in PGH, 11-3 his 3rd year there Parsells: 11 playoff wins, 22-25 in his first 3 seasons in NYG, 10-6 his 2nd year in NE, 12-4 his 2nd year in NYJ, 10-6 his 1st year in DAL Reeves: 11 playoff wins, 27-21 in his first 3 seasons in GB, 10-6 his 1st year in DEN, 11-5 his first year in NYG, 14-2 his 2nd year in ATL Shula: 19 playoff wins, 30-11 in his first 3 seasons in BAL, 10-4 his 1st year in MIA, 60-17 in his first 6 years in MIA Walsh: 10 playoff wins, 8-24 in his first 2 seasons in SF, 13-3 his 3rd year The notable exceptions (where a team stuck with them): Landry: 10 playoff wins, 9-28 in his first 3 seasons in DAL, first winning record came in his 7th year Seifert: 10 playoff wins, 38-10 in his first 3 seasons in SF, a dismal 16-32 in CAR

The best part is: "Villagers described seeing an UNMANNED plane circling the area for the last few days and then bombs falling in the early morning darkness. " No troops were at risk in this operation. Al-Queda has just begun to see the military technology they are going to see. Unmanned bombers are the beginning.

Bill Podium wants to come back to Buffalo.

Lostman.

In order of preference: Fischer Saunders Ferentz Mariucci Jim Bates Jim Fassel Russ Grimm Sean Payton Cleveland offensive coordinator Maurice Carthon Broncos offensive line coach Rick Dennison Chicago defensive coordinator Ron Rivera Giants defensive coordinator Tim Lewis Jim Haslett Weis is not on here. He isn't going anywhere right now. Wade Phillips isn't coming here with what happened before.

Yeah, Carroll, the ex-Jet.

Weakens them and makes us stronger, IMHO.

The Bush twins have feathers in them??

Mangini would do well to consider the Bills' job compared to the Jets' job. -Better Offensive pieces... -Younger players... -We're not $28 mill over the cap... -We have an uninjured QB that isn't $15mill against the cap...

Tice won't be head coach. Rochester just canceled their fast ferry deal.
