Rich, That's a beautiful name, and I like the spelling! Rockpile, the race is on! My grandson will also be born in the next 2 weeks!

My congratulations. I hope to be a grandpa in a week or so. Uh, Did you say TBA or TBD?

A wonderful summary, Rich. Are these in priority order? If not, how would you rate these? Astro

Boy I had no idea that Matt Jones was that fast.

You must be thinking of this guy. Gore

If I were TD I'd drag my feet too. By waiting, I: (1) Reinforce to Shelton's agent that nobody else will be picking him up. (2) Reinforce to TH's agent that I won't be bullied into accepting fair value. (3) Keep my second round pick selection nice and cloudy for other owners (TD is a master at this) (4) Show Travis he doesn't run the show.

Wilkerson may do the best of the 3 guys mentioned, but there was an injury concern, as he was out for a bit of the 2003 season, I think. Spencer would be a great pick, and Wilkerson would not surprise me if he had the doctors' OK.

Very nice picks! How about this? Take Clarett and use him as a TE now and then!

I stand corrected. Moats is a character guy.

I love the choices the Bills are left with at this point. Look at this string of players picked around our spot! Ben Wilkerson, C LSU Chris Spencer, C Mississippi Michael Boley, LB Southern Miss Brandon Browner, CB Oregon State Anttaj Hawthorne, DT Wisconsin Luis Castillo, DT Northwestern Rian Wallace, LB Temple I would take any of these players in a heartbeat with our #55 pick!

Because we already have our first rounder (JPL), I don't think TD will be making as many sacrifices this year in order to move up. I do like the idea of having a rookie at Guard as opposed to Center or LT. There are tons of good OG's available in the 2nd-3rd Rounds: Guards No sense getting married to just one of them just because we haven't seen the workouts or game tapes on each.

Draft Showcase It doesn't have pix of everyone, but I like it. Astro

Make sure your menu has everything spelled right. It's Beef on WECK, And it's the Buffalo SABRES.

The Burns and Wire signings were for special teams only. Burns and Wire are in the top 5 in tackles on ST. I wouldn't be surprised if we drafted LaFors. He might be available in RD#5 and certainly at RD#4. I, for one, would fall out of MY chair if we drafted Clarett. Here's what my value board says about the ones the Bills have supposedly talked to: Walter Reyes RB -- 3rd Round Khalif Barnes OT -- Fugggettabowtit David Baas (OG/C) -- 2nd Round Maurice Clarett (RB) -- Fugggettabowtit Alfonzo Hodge (CB) -- Round 4 or 5 Stefan LeFores (QB)-- Round 4

I think you pick up an OG and forget the trade. If Shelton-Henry can't get done before the draft, TH stays a Bill for the year. I still think we'll get Shelton (how's conditional RD#3-->2 pick in '06 sound), keep Henry, and draft OG.

I like the Spencer pick a lot. Teague can groom him, and then Teague can move to backup LT!

Thanks Superhero--just added Poo-HAH to Round 6 of my post. This would add a wonderful cheer to the Jills repertoire: Left side of stadium: POO! Right Side of Stadium: HAH! Left side of stadium: POO! Right Side of Stadium: HAH! Much better than J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets...

How much does a Petway?

I voted for Jason Brown, because I couldn't believe he was still there in RD#3. I'd have been willing (see sig line) to spend my 2nd rounder on him.

Welcome Back from God's Waiting Room...

Boy do I agree. I listen to ESPN Radio on the way in from work, and it's disgusting me how much air time it gets. I want info on what NFL team needs are after recent FA signings, or what's the buzz about March Madness Round 1, and I hear 'roid drivel. Enough already.

These were the players right around our 3rd pick, and they intrigued me. If I drafted O-Line in Round 2 (and I'm thinking they will), would I go after Fields, a 320-lb. mauler of a DT in the Pat Williams mold? Or grab another TE in Everett (the 3rd best in most mocks)? Grab one of the best 3 Centers in the draft in NC's Jason Brown?

Would fake fat be a lightbody?

Round 2: Charlie Frye QB Round 3: Oshiomogho Atogwe FS Round 4: Craphonso Thorpe WR Round 5: Uriah Moenoa OG or Billy Bajema TE Round 6: Sam Lightbody OT or Sione Pouha DT Round 7: Kenneth Petway OLB UDFA: Sonny Cumbie QB I tried to make picks at positions the Bills might be interested in. My "real" picks are in my signature line. One of both will be drafted by the Bills. Astro

Total kudos to the Jokeman! I'm a droid; I just report info, I can't do what you humans call "think"! If I could think, I would question my coach's decision on a coin flip, for example. Also, I hesitate to agree that Reed will profit from a more mobile QB. Reed's attraction in college was that he led the NCAA in YAC yards. His problem IMHO has been gaining separation before the catch. I'm not seeing how a scrambling QB will help this. Anyone?
