I think they intend Williams to be a FS, not SS. That said, I expect all these guys will play multiple roles.
Meeks will probably not be on the active roster if I had to guess.
They will keep at least 9 DBs. I expect they will add multiple UDFAs to the mix as well.

Swope was there...understandably we have multiple WR's, but might as well add one more.
Swope was nt there.

Dude, the fact you specifically set up your signature to make fun of optimistic fans is a dead giveaway. You're miserable. I will NEVER apologize for being optimistic and looking for the bright side of things with respect to the teams I root for. And that's all I have to say about that.
Like many others, the Bills did not do what he thinks they should have (pick Geno Smith at 8 in this case) so he is having a hissy fit. Typical. Given all the debate and disagreement by fans on TSW leading up to the draft on pick a QB or not, which one to pick, etc, this is not surprising. Personally, I am much more comfortable leaving that decision to the people who get paid for it. They needed a QB, they extensively evaluated the options, and made the choice. It will be an interesting year at the very least, but I feel very good about the draft so far, especially Manuel.
-
OK, am I the only one who will be joining the chorus of "Who the !@#$ is this?"
Never heard of him, never saw him mocked. I mean, I want some people at ILB, but I really haven't even considered this guy.
Which is why you are a poster on a fan message board and not an NFL scout.

You still have posting privileges? Color me surprised.
Very good question

BPA @ TE. Ertz would be great
BPA @ WR hopefully Woods
Just say no to Honey Badger. We do not need a midget CB who is a head cae

Why because you think your opinion trumps mine? I think Tebow is a better QB right now and at the time of drafting versus EJ "I-was-happy-to-beat-Wake Forest-Finally" Manuel. I am sorry if my opinion doesn't please you....oh wait, on second thought, i don't give a rats ass.
Tebow is not nor has ever been a better QB than anyone.

Impressive. Nicely done.

If he's on the board, I think Buddy runs up himself to hand in the card. Here's why I think this:
1. We just lost a very good LG and need an immediate replacement.
2. We have below average guard depth, even though the team argues otherwise.
3. Warmack is the best guard to come out of college in a number of years and some publications have him as the best draft propect this year.(http://www.rotoworld...ed-top-151?pg=1)
4. He's a big nasty. And Nix loves big and nasty.
5. He's an SEC guy - played in best conference and on 2 Championship teams.
I would have no issue with this pick. In fact, I want it. The QBs dont seem worthy of a first and I think value can be had in rounds 2-4 of this draft.
Thoughts?
Noooooooooo....

The Revis deal has pretty much eliminated the trade down strategy to pick a QB later, unless either the Jets use the 13th pick to jump higher than 9 in the first round, or the Bills can move down to no later than 12. The jets will pick a QB with 13 if they keep it.
-
Great. We look awesome in practice. Doesn't mean anything if we can't transition that onto Sundays. I won't get excited about anything til I see something on Week 1.
I remember a lot of fools here were giddy during OTAs and minicamp, then we got CRUSHED by Sanchez and the Jets. We made Sanchez look like Drew Brees out there. All this excitement doesn't mean squat until they produce in reg. season.
Lighten up already. It is only April. People are excited to something happening on the field. Nobody is predicting Superbowl or anything.

Except that Nelson has a great knack for getting open, runs great routes and has great hands.
That is his reputation among Bills fans, and it all may be true to some extent, but it would never make him more than a 4th WR at best. Nelson was most effective in the 2011 season playing from the hybrid role, usually with three true WRs on the field. In this Gailey formation, Nelson was difficult to cover, often got mismatches due to his size and the need for the primnary DBs to cover other receivers. He was basically an undersized TE. Once Nelson was forced into the slot due to injuries, his production went way down. He started 2012 as the designated slot guy, but was hurt so early we will never know if he would have been effective. I suspect not. Maybe he will prove me wrong in Cleveland but I would not bet on it, despite his good hands and route running. The Bills needed an upgrade. I am not sure if Dickerson is it, but I do see potential because of his superior speed and bulk.
-
Well 82 is a TE number, too. Dickerson is still a project, but an interesting one. I'm still thinking that Marrone and Hackett want to use him as a TE/HB/WR hybrid, like they envisioned using Fred Davis or Delanie Walker, both of whom they went after. Similar to the way Pettine wants LBs who, when they are in the huddle the offense doesn't know if we are going to line up in a 43, 34, 46 or whatever, I fully expect to see our offense do the same thing, with guys like Dickerson, as well as using Spiller and Fred together.
Exactly. Dickerson offers great flexibility as he can line up at H- Back, TE, or slot and has very good speed. He is a couple inches shorter than Nelson, but faster and heavier making him much more valuable potentially than Nelson was in essentially the same role.

That list was spot on, IMO. I see Barkley and Smith as first round picks, and Manuel, Nassib, and Wilson as all being gone by the end of round 2. As much as people say this isn't a great draft for QB's (that's being nice) I say it is a pretty good draft for QB's, if you're a team like Buffalo that needs a QB and is selecting where they are. If there were a Luck/Griffin combo in this draft, and then a huge drop off, people might say it was a good draft for QB's, but Buffalo would still be left with leftovers - because there's no way Jacksonville, Oakland, Philly, and Arizona would allow a sure-fire QB to fall past them.
As it is now, Buffalo might get to pick from any QB in the draft at 8, and, if they pass, they'll probably still be able to get a QB in the 2nd who could potentially be a Franchise guy. That's a good spot for Buffalo to be in, IMO.
I think it is highly unlikely any of the top 4 or 5 QBs are on the board at 41. Waiting for a player to drop into the right slot is why the Bills have failed at getting a young QB for the past 3 years. They either need to pick who they want at 8, or trade back into the first, or trade down in the first and pick there. I would prefer they not screw around and just go ahead and take who they want at 8. If Buddy tries to get cute, they will likely lose out again. Trading back into the first would be costly and they need the picks, so I do not see that.

What do his teammates think of him? They think he is a selfish, arrogant POS - because he is.

The NFL is running away from fans?
If you have not noticed, every post by this person is equally random and meaningless. Troll with a capital T.
-
The anti-Big Ben rhetoric on this board truly is astounding. The dude did stuff that each and every one of us either did (or wish we did) back in college. But, since he's won 2 Superbowls and should be acting like a grown man, he's the devil reincarnate.
As for Davis, the dude talks like he's among the top TEs in the league. Even when healthy, I never saw that in his game.
The guy has been accused of rape on more than one occasion. I did not nor do I wish I had raped a woman in college. How about you? Spare me the excuses, and the "he is just a target" BS. He is a scumbag, pure and simple.
-
Isn't he a better option than any of the QB's in this class tho?
I don't think so. There is no more evidence that Matt Flynn can be a quality starter than for any of the rookies. In fact, it could be argued that after 5 years in the NFL, there is adequate evidence to suggest he is a career back up. If you are looking for a veteran to compete with Jackson and a rookie to buy time for a rookie to learn, why give up a draft pick of any kind for this guy when Kolb is available as a free agent and has much more of a track record.
-
I don't see any sense is trading draft choices for an unproven QB like Flynn. Bad move. Kolb could be worth signing if the deal was right.
-
I would hate this. Flynn has done nothing to indicate he can be a reliable starter and no reason to believe he would be an upgrade over Fitz.. If he were a free agent he would be worth a look, but no way the Bills should trade draft choices for him. It would be nice to see one of the teams ahead of the Bills in draft order pick him up, taking out one more competitor for the QBs in the draft.
-
I hear you. But the fact that it went from a meeting to now a visit, that sounds more like sincere interest.
I know he could be playing the Bills but i am sure numbers were discussed already. His agent left the meeting and called the Skins and told them what type of numbers the Bills are offering. The Skins probably are waiting now to see if the Bills trainers ok him and then the agent will make one last phone call back to the Skins with the Bills offer. It is then up to the Skins to come close or he probably signs with the Bills. Kind of how i see it playing out.
The Skins have close to zero cap room at this point. Unlikley to sign there unless no one else is interested.

I can't believe that this info hasn't been out there until now.
Its a conspiracy organized and operated by Ralph, from his wheelchair.

Everyone has an opinion, they can say whatever they want. My opinion (that he is accurate and puts the ball in good spots) is based on watching him consistently thread it into places where only his guys can get it, and on his completion percentage. After watching this kid for years, I'd need Cossell or other to show me a lot of specific plays to back up their stance.
Very true, good point. But it does happen. Like Gabbert, Nassib was barely on anyone's radar through most of the season. Now if, as you say, the media gets bits of info from teams, then their changing opinions can reflect the Pro's changing opinions. Evidenced by Gabbert going top 10 after Luck stayed in school.
Someone will trade up to get him within the Top 5. Bank it!
If the Bills want to get a QB, they'll have to do what it takes to get their guy. To get THE guy. Otherwise, it's just same ol Bills.
If the Jets are looking for a QB, and they very well might be, they will not allow the guy they want fall to Buffalo. This could very well be Smith, or not. The fact is no one knows how the Bills or any other team have these guys ranked.
-
Bad idea. The Bills drafted their left tackle last year and have several right tackle candidates on the team. Among the lowest need areas.

You may find it funny, but I do not think anyone with even a partial brain would prefer you were making decisions for the Bills. Given that your "expert analysis" thus far in this thread amounts amounts to "I know you are but what am I", I would be surprised if you are allowed out of the house without a helmet.
