Hey you're missing two picks. Might as well add some icing. I like your first two rounds. Don't know enough about the other guys. I certainly hope we can get an impact NT - someone who can get the job done early and not have to grow into the position and finally get good at it when his rookie contract is about to expire. Dan Williams and T Cody are 1 and 2 in the 34 nose category in most of the respected bits I've read.

To many Bills fans, he's only worth having if a different team sings him.

Who the hell cares what these has-beens and wannabes and douchebags have to say? When have their words ever been the paragon of football knowledge and insight? Seriously, big freaking deal. All they ever do is stroke the big market teams. Case in point: They hire and pay a guy to speak and he uses the expression "the verdict is out". The world is overrun with idiots.

I don't believe Kelsay is even a candidate to play OLB. They paid the roster bonus because they're going to trade him sometime during or after the draft - most likely for another player or a 4th & 7th type of valuation. Anyone who needs a solid and reliable (but unspectacular) LDE for their 43 system will likely consider him. We know that Greggg likes him a lot, so I wouldn't be surprised if he were traded to the Saints for their DLine depth. Betcha

cottrell is a good guy but a lousy strategist and gailey is going to leave his DC on an island to run that side. I do NOT like the idea of Ted having that kind of influence. On his own, he has not been impressive - only under the rule of a defensive HC has he been effective.

Exactly. It's amazing how willing and eager the media is to make the Bills look bad. Not exactly a widely beloved franchise outside of WNY. (Fuggum)

This is the kind of thinking, or rather non-thinking, that makes this place insufferable sometimes.

If we were to land Cowher, I'd be damn happy and interested in football again. Right now I could hardly care any less about the game. The Bills have beaten me to a pulp. Cowher would change all that, and there'd be no doubt about ticket sales going forward. Which is to say, I doubt this will happen.

Hey, good! That's one less team to worry about next year.

I've often feared that "glory days" players would be pulled in for such roles, as if they had any real ability beyond appeasing a few fans who want to live in that past. If Thurman is made a scout, Nix's credibility will suffer. He should be stocking us with proven talent, not feel good picks as some homage to the past.

I believe that it's bad sportsmanship and questionable fan form to hope for a loss just to improve your slot in the draft sequence. If you want a guy bad enough, you can make a trade. Winning matters. I'll bet we finish 7-9 yet again, and pick somewhere between 9 and 14.

Funny topic title. I like Lynch. But he needs some re-schooling because he's dancing too often in the backfield. Any Bills fan who does not love Freddy Jackson must be either blind or the embodiment of pure evil. The guy is just unreal - hits the hole, great burst, slippery as hell, smart, tough as nails, moves the pile, makes them miss, never takes a penalty, great hands, never fumbles, solid in blitz pickups, never complains, model teammate, all on the cheap from a guy that probably wouldn't even be playing in the league had it not been for the Bills. Freddy would be a starter on most teams, even good ones like the Colts or Saints or Pats. I'd go as far as to say that he has been our best and most consistent player on all sides of the ball, with the only real competition coming from Kyle Williams, Jairus Byrd, McGee when healthy, and maybe Schobel.

well if kelly's scouting opinions are being heard, then we really are doomed. Success in the NFL has already proven to be out of reach for QBs whose only experience is the spread offense, and who cannot read defenses. Tebow is a one-read guy who, like JP, pulls it down and runs whenever his primary read is covered. It works in college but it won't fly in the NFL.

god help us if that a-hole gets the job

No thanks. There's no such thing as Charlie Weiss

Parcells would be my #1 choice, bar none. He has turned around every single franchise he has ever had his hands on. Nobody has created a larger coaching tree of success.

that is a badly broken leg, folks. he's done for the year, and hopefully not longer. that SUCKS - he has been our best lineman and has done a great job for a rookie.

There's no such thing as Charlie Weis. If Ralph hires that guy, I expect a major fallout from the fanbase.

Is this from a movie? http://i14.tinypic.com/2cgj3hc.jpg Thanks. (SDS: I'd have posted this in the Off the Wall section, but apparently it's gone...?)

RE: Gruden, nah.

I hope nobody feels slightly pissed about this... All Gibby could bring to the team is an awkward weekly interview segment.

Cage, be more obvious with your joke perhaps. You see, there's so much stupidity around here, it's often hard to tell when one is serious or sarcastic. All it takes is a

Haslett: Hell no. Tough, but loose cannon, not the sharpest tool in the shed, has never won a playoff game. Gee, what an upgrade.

Our situation at tackle is the #1 reason we suck. Bigger than Trent being disappointing, bigger than the offensive scheme being largely leftovers from a fired man. The tackles are making the entire line look bad which is sad when you consider that our new interior is playing extremely well and our 2 rookie guards are clearly the long term keepers we've been clamoring for ever since TD came in and decided a new patchwork, revolving-door line would suffice each year. Butler's injury was huge. Not bringing in a veteran at LT was huge. Bell looks promising but he should be learning, not starting. He doesn't have the mental aspects of the game. Granted, roscoe's fumble and mckelvin's fumble would have otherwise likely resulted in a 5-3 record to this point, but hey. A loss is a loss is a loss and there will be more in store in the coming Sundays. Chin up: The Sabres are really, really good, and they will likely be the team to bring a championship to Buffalo, if there ever is a championship in Buffalo.
