Totally disagree, Vic has excellent insight, especially with what goes on with Buffalo. I am afraid that what is really going at OBD will be more of the same ... a hasty decision that lacks due dilligence. Hope I'm wrong.

The defeatist Buffalo attitude. I actually thought the same thing for a second. I tend to believe that Cowher is a straight shooter and would not do that intentionally.

Other than a few game day decisions against the Pats* I think Fewell did a very good job, especially given the circumstances. That said, it is time to clean house in Buffalo. I sure hope Buddy brings in someone new and with a successful track record (unlike the Jauron hiring).

If we drafted Oher it would have been with Maybin's pick because he was off the board by the time we had the 28th pick in the first round (with which we took Wood). It is very possible that Wood may have been gone by then too. If we were lucky enough to get both Oher and Wood in the first round then I doubt we would have spent another pick on OL to get Levitre since we have a strong need for DL and LB. You cannot be serious about Chambers as your starting OL? He has originally cut at the end of camp and is quite horrible. Brad Butler or Demetrious Bell are better options. The Oher train has left the station ....

Hello everyone. I have not posted here in years. Decided to just lurk and be entertained. I grew up in Buffalo and have been a Bills fan since I can remember (the 1965 AFL championship). I live in the St. Louis area now and I am in the Bills Backers there. We meet at Lesters in Chesterfield, great place if your ever in the area. I will be in Columbus this weekend. I don't want to miss a Bills game, ever. No matter their record. I think we will finally beat the Pats* on Sunday. Anyone know a good Sports Bar in Columbus that plays all the games? I am staying in Dublin. If there is a Bills Backers bar that would be great. I will find it if you give me the name. Thanks in advance and go Bills!!

I want to see the difference on 3rd and 1 before I get excited but I do like the additions made in the draft. It least we finally addressed a longtime weakness in the interior of the OL and tried to counter an AFC East strength at the same time.

It took you two years to read this magazine?

Rumors amaze me. I live in St. Louis and I have heard nothing about this. In fact, there have several recent newpaper articles stating just the exact opposite. Chip Rosenbloom has publically stated that he does not want to move the team, he wants to leave it in St. Louis, as was his mother's wish.

Two good points here!

I don't know about Dylan Gandy at all. He play because their starter was hurt. Don't you think there is a reason why Bill Polian drafted 3 centers this year. He just couldn't wait to cut Gandy. I see a RED flag here.

If Hardy is the starter and #2 receiever that puts him ahead of Reed and Jackson (assumes that Parrish is the 3rd WR due to size). If Johnson can outplay Reed and Parrish thaen we hit the jackout at WR. I hope your right. I think Fine is the sleeper in this draft.

What if Hardy is a bust? We won't know that for 3 years at least. He might help out this year and I suspect he will help us in the red zone. But, he is a rookie WR so chances are he will make more of an impact next year. If we wanted an immediate impact ar WR we should have chased after Chad Johnson. He could step in THIS YEAR and help us. Hardy is a rookie, try to remember that.

I disagree with one aspect of your statement regarding the current regime. Every team, and every front office, is trying to get better and therefore they replace players drafted one year with new and hopefully better players. We are talking about rounds 4 through 7 here. There is no shame in replacing players you drafted one year with better prospects the next next year. That is part of the improvement process. If Omon beats out Wright then how is that bad? Especially of Omon is a backup that can actually contribute (like a Kenny Davis). I agree that things look tough for Youbouty ... he is an example of a guy that the press projected to be a second rounder, or maybe a first . We all thought we had a steal because he was picked in the 3rd round and projected higher. Many people groaned about drafting Corner, an unknown that did not project to get drafted.

If he turns out to be a great player then he will more than live up tpo where he was drafted. 6-8 wins? That is not being negative?

OK --- Here's one .. Howard "The House" Ballard. Drafted in the 12th round. Would have been a UDFA in today's draft. There are many others.

They were goof? OK. Because these guys are next coming of Kellen Winslow Sr.? Great idea. Please call Ralph and inform him of that. Last year we "secured a top rated passer in the 3rd round" and I'll bet you complained about it.

I agree. There are lots of backup centers for round 7 and UDFA. There were no impact centers in this draft, maybe few project as starters, if any.

Or Younel Jordain!

How do you know that? Shouldn't you see him play first?

Good one! I like the pick. He gets in the end zone, gains lots of yards, can catch, and is tough on ST. He sounds like a good football player and he maybe an upgrade over our current backups.

Can we install a Prozac dispenser in your home?

I say sublime!

Correct ... People are reading the draft projections. Both of our 4th rounders were projected as 7th or UDFA. You never know? I trust Modrak and the coaches more than the people who write the draft marketing data.

Who was our TE?
