Bill from NYC

Norman getting a deal like this tells me yet again that if Gilmore is even almost as good as people here claim, he should be traded for a first round pick. The Bills, imo, should pay more attention to signing Glenn and especially Tyrod than to giving Gilmore 50 or so million guaranteed. I don't care about the money, it isn't mine. I care about cap space.

I am not sure how much better they are drafting. Sammy is good but Whaley gave up a ton for him. We gave up a 4th in a trade for a second rate running back. Kuandjio flat out sucks. EJ? Come on, really. Huge cap space has been used up on good but not great players. Otoh, Karlos was a very good pick. Hey, the draft is very important, but we are not going anywhere with this clown for a coach, let alone his loser brother. Whaley is spending like a kid in a candy store, and he should be worrying about signing Tyrod. It's still a mess.

You are just on fire!!!!!! Did someone who likes aggressive defenses steal your password? :)

Bravo CB! I hear ya!!!

McCoy, at that price, was an awful move. Whaley re-worked his contract. Are you thinking that this was OK?

I ask the following question in terms of football discussion only. There is nothing snide to follow: If cap space and/or money was any kind of issue (imo they always matter it just varies on to what extent), which player would you rather see the Bills commit long term resources to, Tyrod Taylor or Stephon Gilmore? I think this is a pretty fair question. Edit: Also, 2 out of 3: Gilmore, Taylor and Glenn?

This is a moving post, as are those by Augie, etc. I like to think that I'm a reasonably tough guy, but you men (and your families) are what I would describe as incredibly strong. As loving parents, we are only as happy as our saddest kid. I pray that your children continue to progress and live long, happy, productive lives.

He has already collected 41 million dollars in (imo) undeserved salary. His gravy train ship has sailed.

No, because every single person in the history of the USA who was found not guilty is 100% innocent. Signed, OJ Simpson

If a player isn't worth a first round draft pick, perhaps he isn't worth an 80 million dollar contract. I am not talking in absolutes but maybe it is something to ponder.

This was my point and thanks for making it better than I did. Chasing 1st round dbs goes 100% against my views of how to build a winning football team. That said, if this team had been a playoff team while doing so, I would be glad to see the process continue. And I don't back down from floating at least the possibility of a trade.

This is wonderful news, and may God bless!!!

Badol, I know you are not crazy about Reed and I am NOT trying to sell him to you, but I must say that imo he is a lot better than his numbers. I have not seen his 40 times at the combines but for a guy his size he is pretty quick. He is huge Badol, and at the college level disrupted many plays. As far as Robinson, he and Reed are about the same size but imo Robinson is stronger, and possibly even suited for nose tackle. He isn't very fast but again, he is very strong. As a DE in the Rex system, Reed is powerful enough to hold the edge. That said, I don't think Rex would want him because he might not be able to cover wide receivers.

That is historically what the Bills do. They use top picks on corners and let them walk, only to use another top (usually first round) pick on yet another corner and repeat the process. If they are going to use an early pick on a corner in 2016, I suggest that the Bills explore a trade for Gilmore. If he is 1/2 as good as posters here claim, a first round pick for Gilmore should be a given, wouldn't you say? This would save them a HUGE amount of future cap space (remember, Tyrod is due for a contract), and the team really might not suffer. Call me crazy, but I would MUCH rather the Bills use cap space on Tyrod than on Gilmore.

Any offensive tackles or guards you like?

Are you surprised?

Why not simply dump EJ and draft Prescott? Maybe EJ could fetch us a conditional 7th round pick.

Brother, you are 100% correct. True, and the option to trade down shouldn't be overlooked. The year we drafted Byrd in round 2, the team that drafted AFTER the Bills traded down and acquired a first round pick in the next seasons' draft as part of then deal. Whaley seems more inclined to trade picks away but who knows?

McCoy? I'm not so sure.

Ya think it is just a matter of time before Gilmore is inducted to Canton?

An acquaintance of mine knows his family really well and has known D'Brick since he was a baby. He told me that they are absolutely wonderful people. If I recall his mom is a nurse. I noticed that D'Brick never really played with a mean streak. He was probably too normal for that. I wish him health, good luck, and happiness.

Levy was not meant to be a pro GM. He was a person who no other team would have hired and he brought in his clone (Jauron) who of course no other team would hire as a head coach. These people thought that the secondary was THE most important aspect of NFL football, followed of course by special teams. The Levy/Jauron combination had absolutely no chance of winning. I remember when Schobel was our entire pass rush and these morons would send him back into coverage. Rings a bell today, no?

Yes my friend. He was a 36 million dollar disaster as the #8 selection in a draft that that was absolutely stacked with talented players. Not only that, Levy said that he turned down numerous offers to trade down and that one offer involved more than an extra 2nd round pick for doing so, according to Marv himself. There were certainly draft selections who were worse than Whitner as players, but selecting Whitner at #8 was one of the worst and dumbest moves in Bills history, and sadly this is quite the distinction.

Wow!!! After all these years, a post of yours about Jauron with which I fully agree!!!!! :)
