Hindsight is irrelevant because I didn't include guys like Jared Allen who were selected in the lower rounds. Those players were all among the first 53 picks of the draft and therefore represent the "league average" at drafting. So unless your argument is the Bills really, really suck at drafting compared to the "league average" and would screw things up, hindsight is irrelevant here. Your other points are okay, I guess. I would still take the talent. Asumming you could eventually work veterans into the roster to account for injuries and busts, it's definitely a no-brainer.

Ask any talented Super Bowl champion how they co-existed. Besides, if you knew going in you'd have to fill out a 53 man roster with only draft picks, you probably wouldn't waste a pick on a 3rd string QB. You would fill out that offensive line, for example. This is such a silly discussion in any case.

Right, and if I ran just ONE second faster in MY 40 time, all the draft gurus would be slobbering over ME because I currently run a 5.2. Look, .2 seconds is an eternity in the NFL, and a 4.65 means you are slow. It's a meaningless difference if you're an accountant, a significant difference if you're a wide receiver.

For example, take the 2004 draft. You could start this lineup of 2004 draftees, all players taken within the first 53 picks: QB E Manning / Roethlisberger / P Rivers RB Steven Jackson / K Jones / T Bell WR L Fitzgerald / R Williams / L Evans TE Winslow Jr / Watson LT ?? LG Snee C Smiley?? J Grove RG V Carey RT S Andrews LDE K Udeze LDT T Harris, M Tubbs RDT V Wilfork, I Olshansky RDE W Smith OLB DJ Williams, K Dansby, Daryl Smith MLB Vilma CB D Hall / D Robinson, C Gamble FS S Taylor (RIP) SS B Sanders Now obviously, you'd have to patch together an o-line (and Shawn Andrews and Chris Snee are very nice starts). But take a look at those skill position players! And that defense, especially the DTs and back 7! That team should win a Super Bowl. And if you did a GREAT job drafting, you would go undefeated. For example, I didn't even mention DE Jared Allen, DT Corey Williams, S Gibril Wilson, T Max Starks, TE Cooley, LB Shaun Phillips, etc because they weren't selected in the first 53 picks in 2004.

To win it all, you would definitely choose the first 53 picks option. It's a no-brainer. Think about it -- every team picking in the top 10 hopes to get a Pro Bowl player. If you had all the top 10 picks plus 43 more in sequence, you could end up with 15 or so Pro Bowl players. You would easily have the most talent in the league. You probably wouldn't win a Super Bowl when they're rookies, but you'd definitely win a Super Bowl in short order. Just take a look at the first two rounds of virtually any draft in the past and you'll see what I mean.

Remember, internet mocks tend to always give the Bills a bad pick because nobody cares about us. The name players tend to go to the popular teams.

Yeah, it'd really be shocking if this team went 7-9 The writer also said 11-5 was an optimistic possibility: http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/p.../804200331/tbd/ The bottom line is, who cares?

Pretty dead on. I chuckled. ndirish did good, too.

Well, yes, that's pretty much the very definition of a hypocrite.

STFU. Their goal was to make people laugh. And I laughed. I also loved the Stand and Deliver parody. "How do I reach these keeds?" After a lackluster start to the season (Britney episode, 1-joke AIDS episode), South Park is rounding into form right now.

On the other hand, this news does make me question his intelligence. DRC must've fallen for that age-old trick where the girl flirts with him, goes back to the hotel room with him, secretly drugs his drink, and then he wakes up in a bathtub full of ice. I'm not sure he can handle the NFL's complex defenses???

In this football crazed country, it won't matter. If he messes up his one kidney, some dedicated fan would donate him one. Not a big deal. I would say it's about the equivalent of finding out that he broke his arm once.

LOL at the complaints that this poll is biased. Ummm, it's not biased -- it's asking a hypothetical. There's a difference. It's like saying the hypothetical "If you win a hundred million dollars, what would you do with it?" is a biased question. "But how do you know you've won a hundred million dollars? That's biased! You're biased against spending frugally! You evil person, you!"

Thanks for posting that. This is exactly the kind of post I like to see -- while keeping in mind that a different set of eyes might see different things. I'm not saying your word is gospel but I appreciate the effort. And yes, Fowler sucks.

That is correct. It's like inflammable / flammable. Both are words, meaning the same thing, but both are words.

I would like him at #11 a lot. I don't consider the rebuilding of the lines to be complete at all. It's only complete when we dominate along the lines.

The Bills organization completely disagrees with you, as they themselves have said that this is a huge year for the Bills. So I guess you can't fully trust them anymore, right?
