Bill from NYC

Supposedly, this draft is very deep at cb. If it is, why jump at #10?

Do you really think that Gilmore wants to play in Buffalo? I am totally unimpressed by Whaley but I can't in good faith blame him if Gilmore walks. In fact, I would credit him, but that's another story.

I'm with you John, and I actually think TT is a decent quarterback who SHOULD improve this season. Still, nothing is certain and it can never hurt to draft a talented qb. Ernie Accorsi once said that a quarterback is the most important position in the NFL, and that backup quarterback is second. And this was long before the rule changes!

Kirby Smart is making a few million too! And thanks for bringing facts and common sense into the equation!!!

Sadly, this wouldn't surprise me. Hey, the best part about being a Bills Fan is Bills fans. It sure ain't the coaches and GMs.

You mean the year they went 1-15 without him?

Leave it to suffering Bills Fans to be wary of one of the greatest football minds in history. Hey, maybe Marv can come out of retirement and right this ship LOL!!! This apparently would make some folks happier than getting Saban.

He could be terrible (which he of course is not. He is great) and still be 1000x better than any of the horrid display of coaches that we have been unlucky enough to suffer through.

The man has a coaching tree the size of a redwood. Many of his assistants go on to make millions. Certainly you don't prefer the parade of loser head coaches we have been subject to, do you? Well, if our new coach doesn't work, perhaps we can bring back Rex, Gailey or Jauron and sign Whaley to an extension, that is if Nix turns us down.

Jealousy is tough to deal with, no?

John we know this to be true. So does Coach Saban. Remember, in Miami he wanted Drew Brees and was given Dante Culpepper. You know how much I watch the Tide. Believe me when I tell you that he has legion of great coaches who have completely bought into his system. Marrone came in with a few guys from Syracuse. Your comparison is invalid. Saban and Marrone are not on the same planet in terms of coaching ability. And nobody outworks Saban. You and I go back and forth with hits and misses. This has been the case for years. That said, I promise you that if Saban ever does come to Buffalo, you will be the happiest football fan in the USA in short order. OK, second happiest!

Same here. At one point I thought that he was the best running back in college or the pros. But, that kid has taken some punishment, some of it from Reuben Foster.

Mrs. Saban has a huge input into where they live. Coach Saban can coach in virtually any place that he chooses. He has investments in car dealerships around the south and his daughter and grand kid are there. His lake house in Georgia is unreal and the Sabans are very involved with the church and charity. I hate to say it but I don't think it is beyond the realm of possibility for Saban to coach in the NFL, but it won't be up north. Of course this is speculation on my part. PS: With Nick Saban as coach, the Bills would go deep into the playoffs in an instant.

Yes, I am. He tried to bring back sub-par players. Are you ready to excuse all of the dumb moves by Whaley? If he was any good, his teams would win more football games. Excellent analogy.

Thank you! It's weird but this is like a "dirty little secret" to a huge number of Bills Fans. Whaley tried hard to keep both of these sub-par players.

This is great news. I hope he quickly signs with another team. He can be replaced by a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

We miss the playoffs yet again and Whaley is fired, so the year isn't a total loss.

Yep. And imo he wants out under any circumstances. Good riddance!!!

Facts? Please bandit. Gilmore was a waste of a draft pick and would be an even bigger waste of a signing. He is not a winner, nor will he ever be. Whaley might be stupid enough to sign him. After all, he did try to re-sign Byrd. If he does sign Gilmore, it will only put the Bills deeper in the cellar of disgrace in which they currently reside. It is sad, but many Bills Fans have the Stockholm Syndrome. Sure, let's draft a top 10 safety or corner! Let's give a big costly contract to Gilmore! The Bills didn't lose in spite of players such as Whitner and Gilmore. We are consistent failures BECAUSE of wasting our best resources on so-so players such as these.

That is indeed quite the low bar. The Bills had some of the worst offensive lines in the NFL for many years. Don't you remember the Ostroski days? Tyrod is a band aid for a shaky offensive line. They look good on the run because teams must stay back a bit for fear of TT taking off. The pass blocking is not good at all. The right side was flat out terrible last season.

I am afraid that he might sign the tag and stay on the Bills. Were it up to me, I would get rid of his lackluster, indifferent ass and gain the comp pick. Not having to tie up and waste 10-15 million on Gilmore is good news too, imo of course.

Actually he also gave away a 4th for Sammy and didn't he give up a 4th for Ragland?

John, isn't that the point? Whaley trades away our draft picks, doles out huge contracts, and we continue to lose. Now, while so many teams are gaining resources, we continue to languish without much good news in sight. Whaley is a disaster and he should have been fired with Rex.

This has been my complaint with the Bills for decades. That draft was decent...... http://www.drafthistory.com/index.php/years/2010 If they had offers, they could have traded down and selected (in addition to those you list) Pouncy, Brandon Graham or Gronk, AND had an extra pick! Instead, they went for a running back. They do the same thing with defensive backs, and may do it again this year. Look, Gilmore is going to book; poor A. Williams needs to quit while he is able to walk. That said, I don't want the 2nd, 3rd or 4th rated defensive back at 10. It doesn't work. We should trade back and gain extra picks that Whaley threw away, or jump on a qb or pass rusher. jmo.

I wish him well. He was a terrible draft choice, not a terrible guy.
