Some of them. I think.

It wasn't sarcasm, bud. Whitner (and this is for you, JSP) stated that the Ravens TOLD HIM that they'd be taking him at #13. Now if it were Marv revealing this, I'd say he got played. But there's no reason for the Ravens to lie TO Whitner, and no reason for Whitner to lie (to the Bills) after being picked. So the danger was in losing him, after Huff went, and seeing as how NO safety went until a full round later, it was a reasonable move.

Apparently no one between #9-#11 wanted to trade up with the Bills, and the Browns and Ravens at #12 and #13 were ready to take Whitner. Can't dance without a willing partner.

I said this in another thread, but based on Marv's comments earlier this week about the guy they liked being available until about the 12th pick, that leads me to believe that Whitner is who they really liked, not Huff, since Huff was a top-10 pick. Again I still don't like the idea of taking a safety that high, but if that's who they wanted, and their words seem to indicate that, I can live with it and support it.

Marv said earlier this week that the guy they really like would probably be available at #12. Huff was projected to go top 10. Using logic, that means that Whitner was their guy all along.

Leinart would have been his own best receiver had he played in the swirling winds of The Ralph.

I'd go Victor Adeyanju with the Bills' 4th rounder or Spencer Havner. Hell I'd like them both!

When Whitner said that he was TOLD by the Ravens that he was going to be picked at #13, I thought that the Bills took him where they HAD to take him. Whitner has to reason to make that up and the Ravens had no reason to lie to him. And since Marv made the comment that "the guy we like...will be around 4 spots later," it seems pretty clear to me that Whitner was their guy all along and was going to go higher than mid-1st round, seeing as how Huff was a top-10 player and thus NOT going to be around at #12. And just because no DT was taken in round 2 does NOT mean that McCargo would have even SURVIVED to round 2, had the Bills not taken him at #26. Word is that the Colts were looking at him with the 30th overall pick.

Justice went 3 spots before the Bills' original pick in round 2. So the Bills would have had to trade up to get him. Now did they KNOW he'd go 3 spot before their original round 2 pick? No. So they likely would have traded their 3rd rounder anyway to draft Justice. Or maybe not. We'll never know. But they would have had to trade something to get him.

Pencil-neck Clayton actually had the best line today. He said that if there was any negotiating going on after the Texans were on the clock and hadn't immediately turned in Mario Williams' name, it was because they were negotiating with ESPN for time before making the pick for commercial reasons.

I say DE.

The Jets' 1st 2 picks remind me of the Raiders' 1st 2 picks back in 2004. Still waiting for THOSE guys to develop.

Possibly. But I think the A-train signing and Gates obviates the need for a RB.

Agree with 1st 2. But I'd say FB instead of RB.

Okay then, Polian MAY have had an agenda. Don't you think the "experts" have their OWN agenda? So who's right?

Wait, didn't it say above that Polian LIKED the 1st 2 picks?

I figured. BTW, that's the "flirt" smilie. I like you too but NOT in that way.

"Anyone." (you DO realize I'm being sarcastic, right?)

I can't. Especially since I don't HAVE a crystal ball.

I heard he's doing fine, but it IS against players just a slight step-up from college.

I'll answer for him: "someone better."

McFarland's playing in NFLE and will likely be spent before he gets to training camp. Maybe for 2007.

I think so as well. However it seems they want to keep him at RT.

To play LT? Sorry but the Bills already HAVE their quota of fat blob OG's.

There's a difference between "expensive" and "unaffordable." Nate is the former but not the latter.
