Well Dean its nice to actually read a post on here written in English not Typonese, especially one that has some thought to it. Outside of the barriers that will block this trade, I think it could very well be a nice fit for all involved. However, between narrow-minded fans and the retard rodeo of our local sports media we'd run him out of town just like all the other decent players we've had.

The whole point of the trade is not that Buffalo was going to take Lynch. I pretty much said that I'm looking at Buffalo getting Turner or waiting til round 2 to pick up a RB. Green Bay knowing that Buffalo might...MIGHT... take Lynch at 12 might want to work out a deal where Buffalo can still pick up a need at 16 in a LB or DL. this way GB can be assured they get their guy. They could try to trade ahead...but the only ones I see in a position to trade down is the Texans at 10. However, Lynch at 12 is already a reach so 10 makes even less sense. This trade is a simple case of you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. I don't think the Bills need Lynch if they are going to do RB by committee. Lynch does not strike me as a franchise back like AP does therefore I don't see a need to waste the pick that early in the round on him. Thats my view and I'm sticking to it

I've been taking sometime and looking at the prospects and team needs of this year's draft and I have got to say, I am just not that excited about this draft. Outside of Calvin Johnson and a few other players I don’t see a lot of prospects who are going to make an impact on the league this year, which should drive the price of day 1 picks up considerably. That is one reason I cannot see San Diego actually receiving a 1st round pick for Michael Turner. More than likely it is going to be a 2nd round pick straight up, or a 3rd rounder with 2008 compensation as well. The longer teams hold out, the more his price will drop. With 3 weeks until the draft I think teams are going to play poker with AJ Smith and get him to fold on the river. Taking a look at the Bills needs this offseason here is a list of the positions I feel the Bills need to address with the highest priority listed first and so on. LB, RB, TE, WR, DL, S, QB. I know plenty of you who are going to argue that DT/DL is a much more needed position, but we’ll address that in a minute. We have a lot of options available to us at 12, but the bad news is even at 12 we are only on the cusp of the elite players for 2007 and will need someone to fall to us. With Fletcher and Spikes no longer with us, that leaves 2 gaping holes in our already weak defense that need to be addressed. Crowell and Ellison are capable starters on the outside, but we are lacking depth and playmaking ability and that has to be addressed. While I hate to agree with LSI Cadets, I do think that if Willis is there at 12 we need to take him. If his combine numbers and college transfer over to the NFL we will definitely have a solid Cover 2 ‘Mike’ LB for the next few years. Even with Willis, I still feel we need to grab another Day 1 LB. This will more than likely be addressed with one of our 3rd round selections, unless a 1st round prospect falls to us in the 2nd. I’m hoping we can address the RB issue by picking up Turner at a reasonable price. However, if a deal cannot be worked out using our 2nd pick on a RB is our best bet. While I would love to get Adrian Peterson, I just don’t see him dropping all the way to 12 and with our other concerns that need to be addressed in this draft, trading up is not a good idea. Lynch will probably be there at 12, but I don’t think he is worthy of that high a selection, especially if the Bills can get Willis. With Coach Jauron already stating that the Bills will be using a RB by committee approach this season, we can wait and pick up a 2nd round RB. Personally, I like Brandon Jackson in the 2nd and I believe he will be available to us with that pick. However, if Leonard is there I believe he will be a much better choice. The kid can play, while he might not be outstanding as a runner, receiver, or blocker, he is above-average in all those categories and would be a great utility back. I just don’t see him being there in the 2nd. Good runner with solid receiving skills as well, sounds like he would fit right in with our offensive scheme. Once we get into the 3rd round, there won’t be many backs to look at. Hunt will be there, but his combine and pro day numbers were atrocious. Booker may be there, along with Darius Walker and perhaps Kenny Irons, but I’m not really sold on any of them. Tight End is a position that needs to be addressed…again. So far, none of TD’s TE acquisitions have panned out; Euhus was constantly hurt, same with Everett (who wasn’t even a starter at Miami), Neufeld and Cieslak are serviceable, but not much of a threat. While Robert Royal was solid the second half of last season, we need someone else at the position that can catch and make plays. I really like Matt Spaeth of Minnesota in the 3rd round. While he might not be the fastest TE, at 6’6” and 258lbs he is a big target with solid receiving skills. Plus from what I have read is a solid team leader and a high character guy. I like our WR corps; they are fast, agile, and reliable. However, we are still lacking a big target downfield and this can be addressed early on day 2. Courtney Taylor might still be on the board at this point and would give us a solid possession WR, although he is lacking a bit in top end speed. A couple others to think about are Syvelle Newton from South Carolina, Dallas Baker from Florida, and David Ball from New Hampshire. Now a lot of you were going to argue that we need to address DL, especially DT on Day 1. Personally, I don’t see the need to. Right now we have 2 solid starting DE’s and 2 capable reserves there. DT we have Triplett, Williams, McCargo, Walker, and Anderson. I do not see any reason to spend a Day 1 pick on the line, unless someone of value falls to us and we have no other choice but to take them (See GB trade scenario). Some players to look at on the line on Day 2 are: Kareem Brown, DT Miami, Brandon Mebane, DT Cal, Baraka Atkins, DE/DT Miami, Chase Pittman, DE LSU. Safety is a concern due to depth, or should I say the lack thereof. Whitner and Simpson played great as rookies and I look forward to seeing play even better in 2007. However, with Bowen released, and Wire looking at playing both S and LB, we really are hurting for depth. Day 2 would be a good time to address this, maybe even last Day 1 if the right prospect fell to us in the 3rd. Sabby Piscitelli from Oregon State looks like an intriguing prospect with his size and speed, along with John Wendling from Montana While I don’t think QB is a major concern for the Bills, I would like to see them bring in a late Day 2 prospect to push Nall in camp and to have around as a developmental project. I like Jeff Rowe from Nevada, along with Jared Zabransky from Boise State, Matt Moore from Oregon State, and Matt Gutierrez from Idaho State (formerly from Michigan) While I’m not too keen on moving around too much in this draft, one move that I see as possible would be Green Bay trading with us at 12 to pick up Lynch, especially if they feel he won’t fall past us. They really need someone in their backfield and would be willing to reach for Lynch if they think he is that guy. If Green Bay is willing to swap 1st and give up their 3rd, 78th overall, AND Willis is off the board, I’d take it and take either Poz or the best player available at a critical need position.

Unless they do now and that is what started the whole thing??

You might need to use smaller words for him...otherwise he'll spend all day on www.dictionary.com

Thanks Fez found the recipe....however it was the only one on the archive that didnt have a working link Ah well

We've been waiting for you to chime in on this one AD

LMAO

Blah cook book nothing...its a legend that needs to be read

Thanks Dean, I'll keep those in mind when I go to the wine store tomorrow. Even if I don't have it with dinner this week...never hurts to stock up on things you've yet to try

Hey Jim, you're a wine guy too, what kind of wine would you suggest with a London Broil. I was thinking something red and semi-dry.

There's my CIA boy. no just in time Chef I'm not going to cook this til monday night, but I'm going shopping tomorrow so I was trying to get an idea on what I would need to pick up. Thanks for the marinade idea, I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. Any prep suggestions???

If it was my choice of those three...I'd take Rowe. Palko isnt much of a game manager and Zabransky reminds me of Eric Crouch athletically, especially in the arm.

good call...I'll probly use some sortof vinegar...maybe basalmic.

ITS GOTTA BE WILLIS!!!! GO WILLIS!!!! Sorry, just filling for LSI while he is gone sitting on the internet in a foreign country instead of tasting the local wom....fare

It was something with a london broil. I have one sitting in the fridge so I figured i'd make it before it went bad

oh, by the way, we are now on Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retatta Blast why did they take that down??? It could have become an icon....jerks

Where did the cookbook go??? I have a hankering for something with pickle juice no seriously I was looking for a certain recipe to try this weekend.

But my mom said it was ok.....punish her

wrong thread, but yeah, if his momma says its ok since its not enforceable

is it just me or does this thread have the base for another DVD burning software type thread?

LMAO, yeah we are definately a crazy bunch down there. I'll look through some of my old college photos and see if I have any couch fire ones...that way you'll have a a good idea.

OH he'll have no problem fitting in...that wasnt my concern...my concern is that he runs this program into the ground. We already have a horrid school president who is pretty much against sports and by far the worst Athletic Director on the east coast in Ed Pastilong. Last thing we need is someone to come ruin what JB built with our basketball program. Besides Huggins already pulled the hire and resign crap on us once in 2002. The guy can coach, but at what cost? the program losing its credibility? We already have enough unsavory characters in the national spotlight (See Pacman Jones and Chris Henry) We've weeded them out of the football program, we don't need someone giving them basketball scholarships instead.

I think Wade will do just fine in Dallas...my question is, will JJ let him coach or just play puppetmaster?

Never a dull day at the retard rodeo knows as TBD LOL, least its some entertainment on a crap snow filled day
