He could be a LOT worse than Henson. Henson at least played college football at the D1 level. Paulus hasn't played organized football beyond HS and that was 4 years ago. PS I agree with the earlier poster who said that Paulus handled the benching in a classy manner this past season.

1. Cushing. As much as they need a DE, Cushing over Ellison would help a LOT more ASAP in all areas of the defense including the pass rush versus one of the DE prospects replacing Kelsay. 2. Coffman. I know I said address the lines in earlier posts, but this guy is capable of doing two things very well that have been lacking in recent years...a guy with great hands who can keep the chains moving and a temendous red zone target. Can he become an adequate blocker? Only time will tell. Can he get open on the seam route? Probably not his game, but that is what you have WR's for. 3.Best OG/OC/DE remaining. Levitre, Wood, Urbik, Johnson, Caldwell, Meredith, Sidbury or Kruger PS Rounds 4 through 7...Use at least two more picks on the lines, another linebacker and a safety.

Gokey and Chris are just...blah. I like Matt more than either of them. Lil should have been booted a couple of weeks ago, Allison IMO despite the praises of the judges has not been as good the last couple of weeks. Anoop sucks. Adam(and a slight possibility of Allison) is the only hope out of the remaining 7 to become a recording superstar.

What was up with the judges only getting to speak about every other singer. My 2 primary reasons to watch the show are to hear Paula struggle to form a sentence and then Simon hitting homeruns with his reviews. Are you telling me the director can't figure out how to bring the show in on time?

Considering the Bills have sucked for the better part of a decade, wouldn't you think it would be easier to find more starters from the draft? This plays a big role in their grade. It doesn't really mean these starters are quality players.

Not that this is a bad thing, but Coffman's strong suit would appear to be a guy who could move the chains and be a great red zone target. From what I have read, he is not a guy who can stretch the field and like most TE's in this draft who are good receivers, there are major questions about their ability to become good inline blockers.

Sometime in the last month or so, they had on a GM who said that his team has had too much trouble with players they drafted who had questionable character and starting this draft, they are raising the bar so to speak. For the life of me, I can't remember who it was. Any help??

There is a whole stack of them at the Barnes and Noble on NF Blvd. They are in the magazine section.

I like Adam and he is head and shoulders above the competition, but I don't think the lighting, etc... is his idea. I think it is Idol's way of promoting certain contestants above and beyond their singing ability.

I'd have no problem with Cushing or Matthews at #11 if the DE the Bills want is no longer there.. Ellison is a career backup. We need an impact player at the OLB position.

When have they "loaded up" on the OL in the draft? Both lines have to be addressed in a bad way and since taking a guard or center at #11 would be ridiculous, the smart play is a DE at #11(Brown, Jackson, Orapko or Maybin), OL(guard and center?) with picks 2 and 3, followed by a OLB or TE in round 4.

OL, DL, LB, TE and maybe one day 2 safety? No QB, RB, WR or CB. Ideally I'd like the Bills to trade down at some point in the draft and pick up an extra pick or two, but still focus on the positions listed above.

I agree that he will be gone before the draft if there is no agreement in place for an extension. There is no way the Bills want another situation like last year, which could even be possibly worst this year(Peters doesn't show up until week 10).

Buy a mac!

Denver fans have to be pulling their hair out with the offseason they have had.

Could have fooled me Mike.

I thought the girl with the pink streak in her hair that got voted off the 2nd week(Alexis?) got a raw deal. I don't think she could have won it all, but she was a pretty good singer....and easy on the eyes.

I gave up watching AI live. I DVR the two shows and then skip the songs if they are bad or boring and only listen to Simon & Paula. I continue to be amazed at how she struggles to spit out a sentence or two. Great TV! They should just cut to the chase and eliminate everyone but Adam, Kris, Allison and maybe Danny and have a 3 or 4 person finale that lasts a month. That being said, Adam should be the runaway winner. The rest of them have made the cut for the AI Tour and should just bow out gracefully. They have no chance.

Sometime in mid-April before the draft.

Holy jumping the gun Batman!

Cushing's injury history and Matthews off season workouts could be a factor, but I don't know if those would be enough to cause Matthews to pass Cushing.
