Geez you two, just make out already.

Philly and Baltimore might disagree with that statement.

Who would take Pettigrew in the Top 10?

I want Lauriniatis to be drafted by the Packers... ...not a set up for any gay joke or anything, just because I want the Linebackers in Green Bay to be "Hawk & Animal"

This thread = won the internet

Have you seen what Hitler's reaction to TO was? Hold on, let me post the video.

It was either this or going over spreadsheets for a work presentation tomorrow. Both options turned out equally exciting.

Thats really what "the answers" were. Pretty hilarious stuff.

Question Two: Russ, do you feel that finding another defensive playmaker is a must in this draft? Russ: We are always looking for playmakers on either side of the ball. Question Three: What do you think of QB Drew Willy in the later rounds? Russ: Drew has had a very productive career at UB. He is a great ambassador for the university and should be in an NFL camp Question Four: What position would you like to address most in this year's draft? Russ: We go into the draft by staying true to our board and the year long work done by our scouts Question Five: Thanks Russ for taking a chance on T.O. What was your overall goal by bringing him in? Russ: Our goal was to add another playmaker to the offense and we achieved that in acquiring Owens and Dominic Rhodes Question Six: What are the chances of trading down on draft day? Russ: Heading into the draft as an organization you always keep and open mind, but we are very comfortable with 3 picks in the top 42 Question Seven: Hey Russ, who is your sleeper pick? (this one ought to be good) Russ: Someone seems to always emerge, much like Steve Johnson who was a 7th round pick last year Question Eight: How do you blend the draft after your efforts in Free Agency? Russ: Its all part of the process. We have been very active this year in free agency in acquiring talent that will help us out on both sides of the ball. Question Nine: What about the O-Line in Free Agency? Russ: We picked up Geoff Hangartner who is a player on the rise and Seth McKinney who is a versatile player who started many games in the league. And thats it. Some amazing insight into GM-speak

I figure I got nothing better to do tonight since the girlfriend is at work, might as well transcribe the chat for those who didnt sign up (not sure if BB.com is going to post a transcript...). Just hit refresh, I'm going to just edit the below posts rather then put new posts in this thread. First question: Russ, what do you think of this year's TE Class? Russ: Its a strong TE class with numerous players with productive careers, both in pass and run. College spread offenses have led to added production at TE

Nothing, unfortunately. I'm beginning to think it was all just speculation/wishful thinking.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but Trent Edwards played with Alex Smith at Stanford. It was brief, but their Stanford careers did overlap for two years.

Nope, they never had a thing to say about Cutler coming to Buffalo...probably because there never WAS any discussion about Cutler coming to Buffalo. I trust my source very much...they haven't led me astray yet.

Epic...truly epic

Says people a lot closer to the Bills than Gil Brandt. And thats all I'm saying about the situation.

The Bills will draft Ayers if he's available at #11.

Robert Ayers, Brandon Pettigrew, Phil Loadholt Groovy contest!

Very nice, STL

Bills will take Robert Ayers if he is there at #11. There is no doubt in my mind.

Hey now, dont be dissin' my old boss. Mike has literally hundreds of legit sources, but I can safely say from experience that the mock drafts on PFT are done to stir the pot. I remember last year's being particularly outrageous as well, so I wouldnt read too much into it.

I like it, I'm a big fan of Vasquez, the guy is just an absolute beast. Plus, nobody has more experience at pass blocking in the entire draft. I just finalized my own mock draft, I didnt do a "best case scenario" situation, I put it together thinking thats what the Bills WOULD do. So sadly, there are some questionable picks (like Ayers at #11). I just feel thats what they are going to do.

Me, As Russ Brandon: "Man, oh man Jaguars! Thats a pretty hefty contract for Torry. A really good one though, you guys are really smart for doing that" Jaguars GM Gene Smith: "Thanks, it was a lot of work but we definitely improved our team!" Me, As Russ Brandon: "Yup...you sure did! I'm sure your salary cap wont be burdened at all by that 6 and a half million hit. You guys were pretty close to being over to begin with, you sure you can afford this?" Jaguars GM Gene Smith: "Well uhh...gee" Me, As Russ Brandon: "Whoa, okay...calm down. We can work through this. Say, there is this guy on your team who seems to be taking some cap space up. Goes by the name of John Henderson. We'll take him off your hands for you, we'll even give you our STARTING DE Chris Kelsay to help your D-Line" Jaguars GM Gene Smith: "You'd do that for us? You're swell! This Kelsay guy, is he any good?" *awkward silence* Me, As Russ Brandon: "He's something alright...I'll send the paperwork over tomorrow"

I hate to say it, but I've got a feeling that the Bills will draft Robert Ayers at #11. So says my "well placed source"

Tim got to this question a few days ago: QUOTE (lets_go_bills @ Apr 18 2009, 02:07 PM) * Tim, There's a rumor on a website called profootballcentral.com that says the Bills are trying to trade for DT John Henderson. Naturally, this has many Bills fans excited and giddy over the thought of reuniting Stroud with his old linemate. Here's the link to the TSW thread: http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=87178 Can you comment on this? I know John Clayton said the Bills weren't done dealing, so maybe this is something being seriously explored by the Bills and Jags. Tim: I haven't heard about the Henderson rumor, but that doesn't mean there isn't anything to it. If I hear anything more, I'll let you know.

Jeebus, Brown looks really good in those videos. I actually thought the most impressive clip was when he recovered that fumble, not just for the heads up recovery, but watch him fight through a double team with that swim move to put himself in that position...thats crazy. If we go DE at #11, I'd love it to be Brown.
