BEAST MODE BABY!

Keuchly has big stats, but he's not a true impact guy like Patrick Willis was. I think Floyd is an impact player. Keuchly, he might be a better Poz that can cover.

Apparently no one watches more film that this guy. And he doesn't have Kalil in the top 10: http://nflfilms.nfl.com/2012/04/23/cosell-talks-mock-draft/

This is the first draft in a few years that I have no idea what the Bills are going to do. I guess that's pretty good (for Buddy's poker hand) because I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about it.

Which day? Friday? Thursday I'll be stuck at work so I'll probably watch it there. EDIT: Nevermind. Found the info

Actually, the AAA affinity offer is even better. It's $180 ($10 bill credit for 18 months). Refer a friend is only $100 ($10 for 10 months).

Or you could look at it this way. DIRECTV just added 327,000 subscribers who paid $0.00 for NFL SUNDAY TICKET™. So imagine trying to re-sell NST to those people for $329. Um, yeah, no.

If they selected Donte Whitner at 10, I'd be pissed.

The expression on Whaley's face was "I have a terrible poker face, can someone help me out here?? Buddy? Chuck? Anyone????"

Right, but that's also conjecture. You're assuming "value." You never know where he would have been picked. That argument is only valid if all NFL teams release their draft boards afterwards and you can see exactly where each team had players ranked.

But I think Buddy's point is if they trade down and then miss out on Glenn, then that is a more bitter pill to swallow. As has been discussed before, "value" is a made-up term on on draft day because no one knows the players actual value until they play. A good player is a good player, almost regardless of where selected.

I've been to Busby's twice on Bills gameday and I live right around the corner lol

Grade 36.

Haven't been to a Bills game since I was in 3rd grade. Thinking about SF or Miami.

I don't think people are jumping the Floyd bandwagon. I, for one, like him. I think people are just trying to figure out what Buddy is going to do. And now people are thinking it could be Kuechly.

The white block around the numbers is ok. But when you factor in the stripes, it's an absolute barf-a-palooza. You don't have to be a designer to see that it's a crappy design.

I would say that (if he's there) the pick will be Floyd. However, I can see Cordy Glenn or Gilmore as options. I really don't think the pick is Reiff, and I would be more than surprised to see Buddy select him. Both Spiller and Dareus are extremely good athletes, and Rieff doesn't fit that mold.

I just spit graham cracker crumbs all over my keyboard.

Also FWIW, Buddy hasn't drafted a player in the first round who hasn't visited OBD. Just food for though. Oh, and there has been no visit from Riley Reiff

Why are all these people saying Evans is done? He was injured last year, but nowhere does it say he has lost any speed.

So you drafted some players that don't fall under Nix's criteria, yet titled your thread "Nix's most likely draft." This is why I have you on ignore.

When you buy a new toy, even if it's a used toy, it looks shiny when you first get it. And I also think that the jags getting Evans increases the chance that Floyd will be there for us at 10. Doesn't mean Buddy won't take Cordy Glenn, though

Yup. I never liked the Edwards hire. And my memory could be failing me, but I thought Nolan was available at the time. But like someone said, it's not like Buffalo was (or is) a primo destination. Perhaps Chan couldn't get anyone in here. We'll never know. Thank goodness Wanny has a good track record. And now he has some weapons to play with. Regarding Gailey, I didn't hate the hire...but I didn't like it. I wanted Marty S. But the thing I did like about Gailey is his prior track record of success on offense...Pittsburgh, making AJ Feely look ok and getting big numbers out of Tyler freakin' Thigpen. But now we're all singing Kum-Bay-Ah in anticipation of 2012

Which many here said was terrible at the time of hire. Of course some said "Let's see how he does" but first impressions proved right. I think Nolan was available that year, so I didn't understand why we hired a scrub like Edwards who had never been a pro DC before.

The knock on Jeffery is that he doesn't get separation. Can someone show me the last big receiver who was successful in the NFL who didn't get separation? The only one I can think of is Mike Williams, and he wasn't exactly successful.

I saw him give props to Gailey and said we were a team to watch in the AFC. Did OBD secretly re-hire Donahoe?
