I like this but how about: Offense: EJ Manuel Defense: Aaron Maybin Plus he played with Flutie.

Another "painful" defense option (second to Bruce....) is Lawrence Taylor.

Defense: Bruce Smith Offense: LaDanian Tomlinson (also threw for a number of TDs....).

It's hard to replace any player on a starting depth chart. HOPEFUL that we will improve via the draft.

Who said that? I just posted these players to add depth and compete.

Tindall or Beavers would be tops of my list.

There are several day 3 options that I like. Asamoah Tindall Beavers Smith Domann Rodriquez McFadden

Right. I'll be gone from this board after the draft.... I really care about post count. Check out when I joined.... and do the math on yearly post counts....

I'm a Bills fan, so therefore I'm rooting for White every Sunday. From a draft prospect standpoint, I prefer taller corners.

McDuffie. I just don't like small corners.

Don't get me STARTED on Rob Johnson! lol..... Flutie forever!

Move along. Nobody is forcing you to read my posts. Better yet, set me to ignore. Thanks. That goes for the rest of you who seem to have an issue with my posts. Best for everyone.

"I hate talking about Tremaine Edmunds!!! ....... so I'm going to continue talking about Tremaine Edmunds!!!!!" Bahhhhhh! lol.... I need a psychology degree to stick with this discussion board. Seriously. haha EDIT: Case in point, Rochesterfan's 12 year old "barf" emoji below. To you sir, I say "barf" back at ya! Stop posting and move along. Hoping to talk about linebackers here as we get closer to the draft.

Guys.... with respect..... considering some of the snide responses here, I'm guessing that if I bumped an old thread, I'd get equally lambasted for doing so. If you don't want to discuss T.E., then please just stop posting your responses. Nothing is forcing you to. Move along to a discussion you are interested in. Just a suggestion.

Good points. Do you feel we are "done" on DL for this draft, and to what extent will our run defense improve if we don't make a change(s) with linebackers?

Then move along.

Look... The Bills ranked 20th in run defense, their worst team stat.... The fact that we have not seemed to be even putting much stock into drafting a linebacker early (I know.... cornerback.....) to me was something I was curious about. There have been some suggestions to draft linebacker, but considering that run defense was arguably one of the bigger weaknesses last season (not just my opinion, just going by team stats), should we not be putting more of an emphasis on stopping the run? Von Miller will help, and we added some DL FA's. Yes, there have been lots of Tremaine discussions... but at the CORE of my post was a draft question.

I've been here for 3 weeks maybe and didn't see a dedicated thread. I'm hearing that there are lots of other threads but they are buried in the later pages. Sorry I don't go mining back into the past, bringing back STALE threads. I love talking about the draft, but honestly some of you make this annual visit rather painful. We are all Bills fans so why is there always a core group of bad apples that just like to throw insults and cause conflict. geez.... People... Try being positive and happy. for a change.

Well to me honest, I only visit this site during the lead up to the draft and after that I'm out. Hoping to learn from the pros here..... no short supply it seems. In all seriousness, are we rolling the dice on Tremaine again or moving on?

If I missed an Edmunds thread, then mods please merge. I didn't see anything here, but only rejoined this group maybe 3 weeks ago. We are getting closer and closer to the draft, and RESPECTFULLY was asking the knowledgeable fans a few questions. smh...

Yeah I've been wondering why we haven't. Time for a respectful chat! Personally, I say "he's a Bill", so we have to hope he steps it up and plays to his potential. But I think that Beane knows best of course, and Edmunds has a value according to the team. Will he be traded? Given an ultimatum? Surely he wants a big paycheque, so he has to EARN that.

LOL..... Is that what's going to happen? I haven't been here for a while.... Let's not let emotion take this one over.

Linebacker is a need. But just how BIG of a need remains to be seen and I am guessing that most would agree that Tremaine is at the center of that discussion. So? A few questions from me to you. What happened to Tremaine? Why hasn't he really held up to his first round grade? Can he rebound? What are the chances? Will money motivate him as he finishes up his current contract? Any insights on what Beane and the Bills brass think about Tremaine and his future in Buffalo? Could Tremaine be used as trade bait on draft day? Or before? This draft is fairly deep in LB talent, even on day 3. Should we move on or put our faith in Tremaine?

No, you're not wrong. The chances a player will be successful in the NFL go up, the closer you get to day 1. I'm sure there have been some analyses of this. Personally I'm thinking that the Bills might try to trade up in round TWO, and/or THREE this year, but not ONE, unless a player they have graded as a top 15 slips to 20 or so, and is a "must have, at the expense of giving up a valuable 3rd rounder for example.

I agree with what most have said above. Would rather draft a TE and see what happens with Knox this season. Hoping Knox takes another step UP, and we may get lucky with a draft pick on TE.
