I totally agree with this. I guess his best "quality" in college was his phenomenal production (399 receptions is crazy) albeit at a smaller college program. But yeah, the trade up still made no sense whatsoever.

With all due respect, I don't think that's a fair analogy. Hughes may not be the prototypical DE size but if you compare Brian Burns and Jerry Hughes side by side, Hughes has tree trunks for thighs; Brian Burns physique resembles Aaron Maybin. That scares me, at pick #9 or even #40. I'm not paid to evaluate these guys so if McBeane love the guy, go ahead. I see a guy who gets pancaked just like Maybin did at the NFL level.

I'll add a couple of UDFA Bama dudes: Levi Wallace Robert Foster

Very cool. Last year I was in Madrid as the resident Director of a Winter Spanish immersion study abroad high school program. I researched where I could watch the Bills-Jaguars playoff game and found the James Joyce Irish pub in downtown Madrid. Ran into a Nichols school grad and his wife who were there to see their daughter get married to a Madrileño. We had an awesome time pulling for our beloved Bills and were even joined later by a father/son tandem from Cinci (who were grateful that we had both contributed to Andy Dalton's fund lol!)

Thank God we drafted an injury risk free Torell Troup in lieu of Gronk...oh wait...

Yep, Laetner played at Nichols High School. Good point.

I'd rank Bob Lanier (Bennett High School, St. Bonnie) and Randy Smith (Buff State and NBA Buffalo Braves, who also could have been a professional soccer player) right up there with the best of them. Imho, Randy Smith was one of the greatest athletes ever in any sport

Omg, LOVE Key and Peele's East-West All-star names like D'Pez Poopsie and Myriad Profiteroles. If we could sign those two to join LaAdrian Waddle, THEN we'd have a real OL.

Me neither. Probably the biggest free agent signing since Takeo. Both immensely productive for several years here.

I beg your pardon. Mario Williams, a GREAT Marcel Dareus (at the time of the signing), Meatball and Jerry Hughes arguably made up the most talented DL in the NFL. Now where I will agree with you is we didn't have the franchise QB so0 all that talent didn't matter. But, please, spare me with the "team lacked any talent at all."

Lmao! I totally remember Juan Epstein, the Puerto Rican Jew, reading a note supposedly from his mom and then him saying, "signed, Epstein's mother." Thanks for bringing back that memory!

Kareem already signed with the Browns so he's off the table.

I hope the same; just not sure McBeane will see it the same way. As an armchair GM, without blinking an eye I would spend a third of our available cap space just on Le'Veon and either Paradis/Morse alone because they are elite at their positions. That would give you a ton of flexibility going into the draft: 1st rounder on BPA (probably a defensive player) and the rest of the draft to fill other holes: TE, G, RT, WR. Even if McBeane sees things as we do, would Le'Veon choose us over Indy or other options with more established QBs? It's going to be a VERY interesting off-season.

I would call Le'Veon Bell elite without any question. He's also a position of huge need: a top 2-3 RB who is also an outstanding WR coming out of the backfield, just what Josh could use. Problem: Is he a "process" guy?

Keep in mind that Croom is Terry's future son-in-law so it's likely he's here to stay.

Think again. A guy by the name of Big Ben Roethlisberger (Miami Ohio) was drafted in the 1st round (#11 overall) in the 2004 draft. Last time I looked, Miami (Ohio) was in the MAC.

Same height. Facially, could be twins.

Incorrect on the Cheatriots. Brady has made that 18 year dynasty possible on cap friendly contracts. Gronk is arguably (from a statistical perspective) the greatest TE to ever play the game. Until just this year, he was not a top 3 paid TE in the NFL.

Why did this take a full hour to post following the OP?! I kid.

Don't have the exact address but it was a private residence two houses down from Kettles on Abbott road.

This is so awesome! Thank you, my friend!

Appreciate it!

This Sunday won't be my first visit to see my beloved Bills in Orchard Park but I have never been to Hammer's lot and have always wanted to check out Pinto Ron's set-up, how he cooks up delicious food in old Ford Pinto mufflers, etc. I've also heard that Pancho Billa will be there for the home opener. I have always parked on Abbot road on the lawn of a private residence. Where exactly is the Hammer lot? Thanks in advance for your help guys.

Edmunds and Allen, yes but please, please don't call Tre' davious chopped liver. That boy Tre day can play. And dance too. That dude is a keeper. Those 3 guys are our future. Period.

This. Take the outrageous Le'veon money in 2019 and invest it in a speed rushing DE who will be our difference maker on D. Then draft a cheap RB in the 3rd round (à la Alvin Kamara). Much better bang for the buck.
