I will take this over the Dick Jauron era, "do nothing but reach and draft 4th rounders in the 1st and 2nd" any day. Who knows how this will work out, but Buffalo fills three needs with three picks in the first two rounds and has an extra first next year. There are still three picks for tomorrow. Keep in mind that they had only six picks to work with a month ago. I like what they are trying to do.

Based on your last post, I can understand your response to mine. Sorry that you went through that. It was touching that he came up there with the picture of his grandmother, and I do understand that when someone goes through something rough, emotions can get the best of them. The first part was touching, but I thought that it had dragged out after, Take away the factor that I was waiting for the Bills, It would have seemed long regardless of the next team. I've never seen something similar to that during the draft. No hard feelings.

The only thing that bothered me is that it dragged out much longer than needed, and of course happened to be before our pick. We had to wait ten extra minutes to see who Buffalo picked because it was the Takk Mckinley show. As someone mentioned above, the result was the Bills draft choice being quickly rushed through, then it is suddenly Dallas's turn. Seems like ESPN finds a new creative way to make the Bills an afterthought when broadcasting the draft. I am guessing that if New England, Dallas or Green Bay was picking after Atlanta, than it wouldn't have taken as long.

I like what happened tonight overall. The pick wasn't flashy but filled a need. The team has an extra 3rd pick tomorrow who could fill another hole. Most importantly, we have that extra first rounder in next years strong QB class. This could give Buffalo more leverage if they end up needing to move on at quarterback next year. Makes things easier to trade up if needed.

I'm sure that the guy is good, but something doesn't sit right with Buffalo adding another Mike Williams to the team. Plus I think that at some point in this decade, Clemson became the farm team to the Bills.

Heeyyyyyy!!!! Heyyyyy!, Lets go buffalo!,.. Lets go Buffalo! ......The Bills make me wanna shout!

I used to like Seattle as a second team until they got cocky about 4-5 years ago. Right now, my number two team is whoever is playing the Pats.

I remember ten years ago when a recently injured Kevin Everett intended to inspire the Bills by saying "lets go out and beat those Patriots" just before a primetime game. I expect things to go just as well for Miami.

In all fairness, nobody can be Matt Simms. I miss him.

I'm ok with this as competition for a backup. In the worst case scenario where Buffalo doesn't draft someone and Cardale doesn't develop, Yates is still an upgrade over EJ.

I was disappointed when it first happened, but it was for the better. The threads on the board are much more interesting with better discussions.

"Just give it to em" should have been long forgotten. Buffalo still did enough to win despite that, if that had not been followed with a pass interference call on a Hailmary. I always found that call to be way worse. If I am not mistaken, at some point in that following week Tagliabue or another higher up made it clear to the refs that a pass interference on a play that like was to never be called again.

Jordan is a big time draft bust, but I would like others have to say Russell and Leaf are the two worst, at least in the modern era. Jordan is Miami's version of Maybin. Both were drafted much earlier than they should have been. Each of them virtually did nothing for their team and both had character issues. Based on being a #3 pick, Jordan would have to rank higher on the bust list than Maybin.

Only thing that I was ever annoyed about was that Cardale didn't start. Game was hard to watch but,the results..... EJ Gone Experience for Cardale Team moves up 5 spots in draft Better in the long run for us.

Wow, this is gold! Could you imagine a McKelvin/Lankster combo? All kidding aside, those two would likely give more credible analysis that at least half of the pregame shows out there.

McCargo. I also remember that Buffalo would have gotten a 4th for him. Would have helped to save a little face on that poor draft pick.

The commercial sequence would be even worse when a touchdown occured near the end of a quarter. At least I knew when to make a quick run to the store to buy more food or beer.

They put themselves in that position before 2013 by not having a valid QB option after not retaining Fitz. Buffalo has drafted five QB's since Kelly retired, Cardale Jones, EJ Manuel, Levi Brown, Trent Edwards, and JP Losman. Buffalo needs to draft quarterbacks more often. Failure to do this results in what we have seen over the last 20 years. Not every drafted QB will pan out but in the long run they will have more depth and more of a chance to find the right player.

I did think about it, you are arguing that McCown is better than Taylor. Please give me three reasons that McCown would have given us 8+ wins this year. My point is that Taylor is a low end starter which is still better than many others and certainly better than McCown. Taylor isn't the future beyond another year or two but he is the best option going into 2017 unless the lucky draft pick happens.

You.... you re remember when McCown got the Browns 7 or 8 wins last year, and in Tampa in 2014? That was awesome!

If Buffalo gets Brown back, than the team managed to retain both Brown and Alexander at a good price. Whaley isn't perfect by any means, but that individual accomplishment is a success.

Whatever happens this year, at least we wont be last in the division.

We only had three receivers two weeks ago, now there are seven. At least there isn't a shortage anymore. I still think a #2 needs to be added somewhere. I would imagine that Tate is competing with Butler, Powell and Washington for roster spots in preseason.

Although he may be a decent backup to have and an upgrade over our last one. It is not worth the press distraction. I do not see Kaep as having good character or leadership ability. The stance he took is debatable, but the fact that he suddenly changed his tune and decides to stop the stance shortly before free agency came,is suspicious timing. That is the primary reason for my opinion on him. Name aside, I believe that Buffalo is better off with a draft pick and Cardale behind Tyrod.

Yeah, I mentioned Maybin earlier. The difference so me is others busts like Spiller, Whitner, Williams and even Losman and Manuel to an extent at least played for awhile. Had any of them hypothetically been picked from mid to late round,the would have been just another guy. Maybin was so bad that he could have been picked in the 6th and 7th round and still been considered a bust.
