  1. The Bills had six players who will make big dollars but might only be backups (Kelsay, Merriman, Edwards, Spencer Johnson, McGee, and Florence) I expected at least three to be let go this year- McGee got himself an extra year by redoing his contract. So expect at least two more big cuts.

     

    BIG DOLLARS!!! lol not thinking that any of the guys you listed are making the big bucks. In todays NFL 3-4 million a year is far from big bucks.

  2. .

     

     

    [*]Too few QBs and OTs. Over the past 40 years, the Bills have used 50% of their first picks of the draft on RBs and DBs. None have been used on QBs, and only 5% on OTs.

     

     

    Not true

     

    I can think of one Qb the bills drafted in round one.

    And another that they traded a 1st round pick to get.

  3. Not all reports are bad

     

    General manager Buddy Nix also found value on Day 3. Adding two solid offensive linemen was an absolute must; Zebrie Sanders (Florida State) cost them just a fifth-round pick despite having the physical attributes to become a starter, and Oregon’s Mark Asper is a tough and underrated agile guard who adds great depth. Getting good, young linebackers Nigel Bradham (Florida State, fourth) and Tank Carder (TCU, fifth), and a starting nickel back in Ron Brooks (LSU, fourth) also added strength to the back seven.

  4. If Sheppard improves--which he should, the Defense could be elite.

     

    Our DB's are good enough, and will only get better with the improved D line play.

     

    The big question is the Linebacker play. Sheppard should only get better, Barnett and Morrison provide solid experiences and depth, Merriman is a wild card--X Factor, Scott is an under-rated asset, and I strongly suspect the BIlls may draft a LB in the 10 spot or sign a capable Free Agent to add depth.

     

    The only disappointment has been that the younger guys Nix drafted (Moats, Batton, White, etc) have not really panned out--but maybe with another year and a better line, just maybe, we'll see real improvement this year. Anyhow, if the LBs improves, yes, it could be an elite defense, in my opinion!

     

     

    Moats, Batton, White all 6th round picks what do you expect.

  5. Because the Eagles realize the true value of a competent LT, and are willing got pay to get it. Not sure the Bills get that yet?

     

    Don't forget that the Eagles didn't get Peters for free. We got a 1st that turned into Wood and two other picks, so I would say that we didn't loose the thing there. Now to pay bell the 7 mill that the eagles did would mean we wouldn't be able to add the second pass rusher or re-up Jackson. Thats a no brainer, Bell didnt look much/any better than Hairston. Now consider that Bell was a 4 year veteran and Hairston was a rookie with out a full off-season due to the lockout. To OVERPAY an unproven guy makes no cents at all regardless of the position they play.
