Great post. I'm pretty sure that anyone who gets so worked up over a draft (that no "real" experts had a problem with) has issues. Whether its anger management, general pessimism, a need for attention, someone who thinks negativity equals intelligence or whatever. It just makes no sense to be so bitter about selecting players you probably didn't even no existed a few months ago. If you're going to object to a selection put up or shut up. Tell us who YOU would have picked and why. It's much more difficult defending your own selections than tearing down others.

Not good enough. Which players would you have specifically taken and why would they be better than the guys the Bills took? Until then, you know nothing and there's little reason to be so upset.

And we should listen to you because . . . ?

Brought to you by the guy who wrote the screenplays for "Get Shorty" and "Out of Sight." He also directed. Great, "old time" film noir. Very well made and thought out. No cheap tricks and far from Hollywood cookie-cutters.

What a "genious," genius?

I wouldn't be surprised if the FO just doesn't love any of those guys.

"Lumber?" Excuse me, but where do you come up with this stuff? How does a punt returner "lumber?" So he's "too big" like a TE? Sorry, but you make no sense.

So someone 6' 3" 217 running a 4.51 and a punt returner isn't "athletic?" What is the definition of a #2 other than a big, quick receiver who can run excellent routes, finds a way to get open, has great hands and must be accounted for on every play? Last year he caught 122 passes at K-State against very good defenses. Yeah, I think NFL defenses will have a hard time double-teaming Evans . . .

He's a tough, smart, productive football player. Too many players simply rely on their God-given physical tools to best their college opponents - but at the elite pro-level nearly everyone is a world-class athlete. At some point you need to consider playing speed and football smarts - tangibles that are very difficult to teach. I just think Nelson has demonstrated he has the intangibles to be a very reliable and productive #2 WR.

Of the possibly available, I'd take: 1. Branden Albert - IMO, instant starter and makes Bills O-line one of the best. Can give the team a devastating run game that keeps the pressure off the QB. Plus, he provides great depth if one of the Tackles go down - or even move Langston to G. Albert has 10-year starter written all over him. 2. Leodis McKelvin - He looks like a very solid player. With coaching, likely to start Game 1 and could give the Bills a very nice secondary -- helped by improvements at DT. Moreover, McKelvin maybe more dangerous than McGee or Parrish at returner. Could be a special player. 3. Derrick Harvey - I'm not yet convinced Harvey is a game changer on Day 1 but he has the great potential to start by game Four and give the Bills a weapon they need to become a good defense. Boom or Bust pick. 4. Devon Thomas - Although Thomas starts Day One and helps Evans and the Offense, I just don't know if Thomas will be a very good receiver or very, very average. Besides, I think taking Jordy Nelson in the 2nd is much better bet. Nelson may never be a #1 like Thomas but chances are Nelson will be a can't miss #2.

Certainly a nominee. Very well done.

Big points deducted for the ugly tats. An appeal to attractive woman everywhere: please stop sporting tattoos. Why ruin what the good Lord gave you?

Knicks are rated too high.

I deal with the press all the time and those scouts aren't there to provide us insight and/or make us think they're smart -- their only concern is the help the team. It's a good bet NO ONE talks to the press without pre-authorized scrubbing of their comments. They tell the press what they want everyone to know - no more, no less. We have no right to the "real" information.

They can't shoot straight.

Nomination for best draft post of the year.

For you draftniks out there - could you start giving your opinion on your top five players LIKELY to be available when the Bills make their selection? It seems to be far too many variables to make an accurate selection after the first round. I, for one, pretty much ignore predictions/choices after the first round since chances are that player simply isn't available. The "fantasy" drafts are just that, fantasy. When the Bills selection comes around I want to who are likely to be the best players the Bills should consider. Create your "board" - who are your top picks likely to be available in each round. If that Owen Shmidt dude that everyone seems to have in Round 4 isn't there - then what? For example, the players I think the Bills COULD/SHOULD select (in order) in the first round are: 1. Sedrick Ellis 2. Derrick Harvey 3. Limas Sweed 4. Brenden Albert 5. Devon Thomas As for the other rounds, I have no friggin idea . . .

Agree with almost all above (esp Val Kilmer in Tombstone). Others, - Max Fischer - Rushmore (obviously. Jason Schwartzman) - Herman Blume - Rushmore (Bill Murrary ) - Royal Tennebaum (Gene Hackman, The Royal Tennebaums - should have won Golden Globe or Oscar) - Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers) - Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand - Fargo) - Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck - To Kill a Mockingbird) - Tom Hanks (League of the their own) Adding: - Gus McCrae (Robert Duvall, Lonesome Dove; can add Tommy Lee Jones' Woodrow Call)

I bet you're a riot at parties.

Everyone is entitled to a bad opinion. I like escalators because an escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You'll never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience. We apologize that you can still get up there. I sit at my hotel at night, I think of something that's funny, then I go get a pen and I write it down. Or if the pen's too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of ain't funny. I want to be a race car passenger. Just a guy who bugs the driver. "Say, man, can I turn on the radio?" "You should slow down." "Why we gotta keep going in circles?" "Man, you really like Tide." Every day for breakfast I have a bowl of instant oatmeal, then I don't do anything for an hour. Makes me wonder why I need the instant oatmeal. I could get the regular oatmeal and feel productive. Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier'n helpin' 'em move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load sh-- into a truck. I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too. One time, this guy handed me a picture of him, he said,"Here's a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture of you is when you were younger. I saw a commercial on late night TV, it said,"Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were.

Highly recommend Neko Case or Jenny Lewis. Real country music - not that honk-tonk, no talent, pre-packaged crap you hear on CMT and "country music stations." Stuff that would make Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash smile.

Or not . . .

I've read many threads on this page but there is one thing that troubles me. Some threads say unequivocally the Bills will draft a WR at #11, while strangely, others say the Bills will not draft a WR at #11. With so many talented prognosticators how can they be wrong? So I ask, once and for all, will they or won't they? Thanks for clearing this up. -- Confused

I had hoped the "The Patriot" would be good but it is atrocious cliche ridden trash. Yes, many colonist fought the British, but not much more truth in the film. What's worse, the "real" story of the guerrilla warfare in the South would make a very good movie. I liked Braveheart but not sure why they had to change historical facts to advance the story. Made no sense. Gladitor - I give the historical twists a pass since other than Marcus Arelius and Commodus the rest is just a story.
