http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writ...vers/index.html AFC East: Buffalo (Going up) -- I foresee the Bills being in the thick of the AFC wild-card scrum as the regular season winds down in '08. They're better at quarterback with Trent Edwards entering his second season as the unquestioned starter. They're better at offensive coordinator, where Turk Schonert will fight predictability at every turn. They're better in the defensive interior even if tackle Marcus Stroud is no longer a Pro Bowl perennial, and they're better with cornerback Leodis McKelvin and receiver Kevin Hardy arriving via the draft. With improved health early on, Buffalo's season won't be over before it even starts, as was the case in '07.

And of course, one for our hero:

Did you see the Robert Royal spot? Moving...

The logic of that article immediately made me think of the scene in Major League where the guy plasers the ball and the dude in the stand is saying "it's not out - it's too high!"

I love that their argument is that we drafted a guy that's *too good*. Just what we don't want if we hope to win the Super Bowl, a bunch of guys that are too good at their position...

Roll with the group mentality and believe that we're dooooooomed!

Just caught a clip on the 2 Minute Drill, but bascially Payton said that NO was very interested in McKelvin, that they had him in for some workouts and got to know him a bit and Payton feels that he's going to be a really good player in the NFL. He also said that Buffalo did a lot to improve themselves this weekend with just this one pick... More good news for the rooks!!

Waaay too much to fully recap, but they seem to love what we've done in the draft the past few years, think that Jauron is the right man to be in charge and said that our returning injured players are going to make a big difference! Damn I'm high on next year!! I'll post the video link when it's up...

Sweet. Not sure who the host is (Mike?), but he said: - Tough kid - He's a guy that went to the right team, Buffalo - no team plays better ST's and this kid fits Buffalo perfectly - Athletic, make plays in space and will add a dimension to the kicking team - Buffalo is starting to collect a lot of good young players They're going to check back on the story in November. Good feedback on one of the new guys! Supposed to be an AFCE draft profile too...

NFLN said that he's shown some flashes, but isn't consistent (yet). Good pick with potential and fills a need... A scout said "he just needs to figure it out" i.e. get in some games and play and he'll be good.

And the Pats get SD's 2nd next year! Goooo figure...

What a great day - we get two of the top players at two must upgrade positions... Can't wait for the season!! Already!

6'5" 217!!!

Hardy is the pick!

Let's see what Mayock says...

NFLN is killing it - Maylock knows everything!

Here we go...

Everyone would FREAK out!

Willis and Conner would be pretty sick in SF...

Thanks for playing the game GB...

Bummer - lets hope the other top guys last!!

WOW holy s**t...

Jets gave up a second and a 4th to move up! Too high, IMO The Bills are going to sit tight and still get one of the top receivers...

So the draft starts at 3:00 tomorrow, correct? Funny that's not *really* obvious on nfl.com/draft - get me their marketing guys... Didn't the draft used to start earlier (seems like I remember a morning / noon draft party in the past). As for the coverage, I think I'll be flipping around and of course on the computer!
