Perhaps a tad early for Doctson, but it'd be a quality pick for a big need. I wouldn't be surprised at all. The Bills wouldn't have taken such a risk on a player like Harvin if they weren't aware of the need. Agreed. Top talent who's likely going to be redshirted his first season. I just don't see the Bills taking a guy who can't contribute right away with 19. Smith could really tumble. WR wouldn't except that this isn't a great draft for them and BPA is likely to be at another position. If the right QB is there it wouldn't surprise me at all. Yeah. I don't expect him to make it to 19 and even if he did I don't see the Bills making another huge investment in a RB.

Let's just say they love Lynch and he's there at 19. Drafting him to compete against Taylor would be the much smarter move.

If one falls that could happen. I'd be tickled with another Darby-like signing. Excellent player at a premium position who happened to fall in our laps. A quality QB would fit that profile.

I think the second round is where we are more likely to see a surprise if, again, a player at a non-need position falls. There's just too great a chance of players at need positions being top BPAs at 19.

I don't know what the Bills are paying Moore, but it looks like he has value. The Bucs writer seemed to think it odd that he wasn't being re-signed and that he played pretty well - both outside and in the slot. That versatility is huge. A team can't have too many capable CBs.

The NFL really screwed hardcore fans with this Thursday night crap.

A case certainly can be made for OT, LB, WR or even QB (due to the importance of the position and the uncertainty surrounding TT). And you can probably throw OG and NT in, too.

The latest I expect a playoff expansion to take place is when the next league expansion takes place. I hope they wait for that, but I doubt they'll wait that long.

Lol. Been watching for places in the Northtowns to advertise draft day parties. Nothing yet. I'm not up for going all the way to the Ralph for what will surely be a very late Thursday evening. I'll post any if I see them.

I'd hate to see the playoffs expand. Then one team in each conference gets a bye? That doesn't seem right. And if they add two more teams, then half make the playoffs. I don't like that either. Leave it as is. The NFL is going to hurt itself going for the last nickel with stuff like this. I hate the idea of division winners not getting in. I don't like seeing an 8-8 division winner get in, but that's really rare - and they aren't getting one of the two byes. If winning your division doesn't yield a team anything, then why have them? Why play three teams twice a season if those games don't matter more than others? You'd really have to do away with divisions and that would take the rivalries out of the game. I hate the thought of that.

Good luck. We're doing the Cleveland MS Walk on the 15th. We've been walking with and sponsoring our friend, Annie. She was the first, but now we know several friends who have been diagnosed with MS. This will be the 10th year (although we've missed several after we moved to Buffalo) walking with her. We're going back for it this year though. Hotel has been booked for weeks. Hope you have a good walk and do well on the fundraising.

He really needs a proofreader/editor. It's littered with gems like this: "A journey lied ahead."

And the Bills sign Zac Brown.

Yeah, that has to get addressed. I'm thinking such a player might be a draft target. Either a smallish LB that's fast and quick enough to cover or a bigish S that can tackle and cover fit the bill. I'd love to see a true, 3 down linebacker added. That'd help this defense a ton.

Thus the rise of the hybrid LB/S. That's as important a player as the slot WR and both are effectively starters due to the ever increasing use of the Nickel package these days.

We'll all always have these 130 pages though.

Couldn't agree more. Incognito has been a huge addition to the OL. He's one of the best OGs playing right now and the Bills just got a great deal on him too.

I think he was alluding to there being a difference between being fast and being a deep threat. Goodwin is blazing fast, but he's had three total receptions in the last two seasons. (He had 17 his rookie year.) I'm not sure how anyone counts on him for any production and it's not a good sign if he remains on the roster.

You'd think Gilmore would be first up, but signing one of the two is very important and would likely move things along with the other. If both remain set to free agency in 2017 the fact that the Bills can only tag one becomes relevant. I'm not sure that Glenn would be tagged in consecutive years anyway, but it's still a threat. I'm a bit surprised that nothing has gotten done with either. Nothing has come out in the media which is a good sign. That leads me to believe that negotiations are ongoing, but not contentious. Does anyone happen to know who their agents are? Just wondering if they happen to have the same representation.

This should be in the off topic forum. It doesn't belong here for a variety of reasons. As gross and unsettling as the story is, it's only made weirder by the OP's choice of title and the fact that it's an article from February. Also, who reads the NY Post anyway?

I doubt the kid ever plays in the NFL. His injuries were severe and I doubt he'd have been released if he had a chance to overcome them. I don't think it'd hurt to put a claim in on him and bring him in for a look, but he's a very long shot.

What're you looking to acquire? What would be the plan with that? I don't want to see the Bills trading away position in early rounds for later round picks. They have 8 selections already. I don't know what moving back in early rounds an having 10 or 11 does for them. Or are you looking to make big enough moves back to acquire picks for next season?

I don't think it is unreasonable for fans to say he should be focused on football. He's not some top tier WR who has the NFL game down pat and is doing the Olympics on the side. He's a great athlete who is still trying to become a starting WR on a team that isn't exactly flush with a lot of great ones. Why shouldn't fans question his commitment if he splits his time between track and football?

So you're saying that we are stuck with him because there isn't much else out there - especially someone fairly cheap? That's certainly possible and I touched on that. But the Bills should absolutely be looking for an upgrade to replace him because he's just a cheap player to fill the hole right now and he might cost us wins this season.

Virtually nothing.
