I'm going to go kind of off the board and say Todd Collins. The question wasn't who was the biggest bust in buffalo history, it was the most disappointing pick. Collins was picked to be the heir apparent to Jim Kelly, and for all intents and purposes had all of the tools to be a success in the NFL. He was supposed to be the guy to keep the dynasty going or at least to keep us a float. Instead he bombed, and we have been mired in mediocre QB play since(excluding one year of Doug Flutie).

I'd rather have Pace....a player who can be a coach on the field and still play some.

I mean is it hard to believe that he made those comments because they are finishing up a new contract and that's why he made those comments. I doubt he said it to raise McKelvins price tag

Idk why Ezekial Ansah would not be in consideration at 8. Yes, he is very raw and would likely take a year or two to fully reach his potential but you can line the guy up anywhere. If the Bills plan on running the hybrid defense, he could easily play 4-3 end 4-3 DT in pass rushing situations, 3-4 OLB or 3-4 DE. He is a man who would plug tons of holes in a hybrid system. Its a big risk but a guy who is 6'5 and 270 pounds with freakishly long arms and a great motor is something to really work with

Rhodes is not very good technique wise. He has everything you look for but will be a second rounder because of his inconsistencies. My favorite player out of this group is actually HB/FB Lonnie Pryor. He does everything well. He can carry the rock, he can pass protect with the best of em, and he can catch the ball out of the backfield. His weakness is his actual drive ahead blocking but he is not bad at it by any stretch of the imagination.

If we take a WR there are only two I want. DeAndre Hopkins because dude is an absolute beast, or Cordarelle Patterson because he has the potential to be an A.J. Green type WR

The Jags players on defense without looking it up(I swear) DE's: Aaron Kampman, Justin Babin, Jeremy Mincey, Alan Branch DT's Tyson Alualu and Terrence Knighton LBs: Daryl Smith, Paul Posluzny, Justin Durant (maybe), Resean Mathis, Chris Prosinski plays safety. I feel like I know one of the other CB's but I can't recall his name.

This has been posted ad nausea. This is the doing of Rick Trickett the Florida State offensive line coach. I am a huge FSU fan and this is not the only time that the offensive lineman for Florida State have done this, not just including Zebrie Sanders. Trickett is a former Marine who preaches hard nosed attitudes and extreme discipline by his offensive lineman. You can say his lineman either love him or they hate him. He has taught them to hold their water to emphasize that they didn't false start and it was only the defense who jumped. There are many other examples where the whole line doesn't move and the QB is left scrambling for his life after a free 5 yards. I dont really like this maneuver either but this is definitely the doing of Rick Trickett and not just a bonehead move by Sanders. Here is a great youtube recap if you would like to know the truth about what happened.

Rick Trickett had a thing about lineman not moving after they believed the other team jumped offside. I never really liked it because it could have gotten them killed.

I really dislike LSU Wide Receivers. I can't remember one that has panned out. Josh Reed, Brandon LaFell, Buster Davis, Devery Henderson, Early Doucet. None of them have lived up to expectations. Oh wait Dwayne Bowe forgot about him.

Please don't mention Datko and Zebrie Sanders as possible Left Tackle selections. I am a huge Florida State fan and while Datko and Sanders are really athletic kids(which is why they are thought highly of)these two are sooooooo overrated its not even funny. The offensive line was the weak link of FSU's team this year by far and I know Datko was injured all year but it was still bad the year before when he played. Sanders measures and looks like a prototypical Left Tackle in the NFL but he can't run block to save his life and neither can Datko. Sanders is also a holding machine and constantly gets beat by speed rushers and it shows on tape and he didn't nothing to remedy that when he participated at the Senior Bowl. Datko has been injured pretty much his whole career and if you want an underachieving injury prone left tackle then by all means take him. Like I said, huge Florida State fan and have seen these guys for quite awhile and even I with all my bias wouldn't touch Sanders until the 4th round and Datko until the 5th.

The comp pick could still happen. In comp formulas minimum contract players aren't added into the formula. If Morrison is a minimum player he wont count towards it. Also I thought that players signed after the season started didn't count either. This I could be completely wrong about but if that is true Morrison wouldn't count either

Its the same way every single year. People ask what the formula is. I dont know it exactly but after seeing it for years if you haven't lost more then you gained in number of players your most likely not going to get more then a 7th round draft pick. For instance if we signed 2 FA's and lost 4 we are more then likely going to get a compensatory pick or two but if we signed 2 and only lost one no matter who that one is were not getting anything. I know that people you waived or signed off of waivers do not count towards the formula. For instance we signed Nick Barnett but he will not count towards the formula because he was released by Green Bay. The same can be said for Aaron Maybin. The Bills 2011 Free Agents were: Donte Whitner(S) signed with San Francisco(FA lost) Paul Pozluszny(LB)signed with Jacksonville(FA lost) John McCargo(DT) ???? (Wont Qualify) Keith Ellison(LB) ??? (Most likely wont qualify) Drayton Florence(CB) Resigned by the Bills Ashton Youboty(CB) Signed by Jacksonville late in the season(Wont Qualify) So in essence we have lost two FA's this year Bills signed: Tyler Thigpen(QB) Brad Smith (WR) Nick Barnett(LB) doesn't qualify Kirk Morrison (LB) most likely wont qualify So in essence, while my numbers aren't correct most likely we lost the same # of FA's as we lost which means I would not suspect we are going to get more then 1 draft pick in compensatory and it will most likely be a 6th or 7th rounder. Plus, like last year there has to be 32 Comp picks so if there are not 32 teams worthy of comp picks 7th rounders are handed out to teams starting with the 1st pick until there have been 32 given out. That means that Buffalo could get an additional 7th rounder because of that but I wouldn't bank on it because we are going to be drafting somewhere between 9-11.

I'll bet you 100 dollars that Kaepernick doesn't sniff the 1st round ever. He plays in a gimmicky offense, he's rail thin, has never taken a snap under center. He has a funny throwing motion. He is an athlete playing Quarterback. He will be drafted at another position not named Quarterback in my opinion just like Matt Jones, Brad Smith, Antwaan Randel El etc. Kaepernick is not a future NFL Quarterback.

It depends who comes out to be honest with you. If all the top players come out I am taking Andrew Luck QB from Stanford with the first pick. If Luck and Mallett stay in school then I am willing to consider from a Large Group of Candidates including WR's A.J. Green and Julio Jones , OT Gabe Carimi, DE/OLB Adrian Clayborn, Robert Quinn, Cameron Hayward

I was thinking that if the Bills did receive another CB in the trade that maybe it was because they do not plan on resigning Terrence McGee next year and dont want to replace him via the draft. Maybe they think that McKelvin, Florence could be the starters and Lee could be a nickle or dime guy. Or maybe they want to trade McGee but dont have a guy to replace him for this year.

35-10

The play is bad don't get me wrong but no one knows the situation. For all we know it was towards the end of the game and he was throwing the ball up out of desperation. I know highly unlikely but it is possible. There have been way worse plays including a game in Vermont football. Here is the link http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Vermont-football-team-wins-after-crazy-fumble-re?urn=nfl-193475

I never really liked Wes Welker much after I heard him screaming out during a Pats/Miami game. It was when the Dolphins were terrible and had the # 1 pick the next year and you could hear him clear as day on CBS go WOW you guys f'in suck right in on field mics to dolphins players. I wouldn't say he was wrong just thought it was unsportmanlike and not necessary. This also might be the case that I hate him because during this was the time when the media kept constantly talking about how the Patriots are these great professionals.

He wasn't very good at night practice last night dropping 3 Balls that should have been caught. The QB's didn't do him any favors but still catches pro WR's should make. I mean maybe he just had a bad day yesterday but I thought he was the worst of the WR's in watching them yesterday

I have seen Pike play before a couple of times. The big game against I believe Pitt that was on TV ...it was against one of the upper echelon Big East teams where it might have been their last game to go undefeated and while his stats were impressive in the game his ball did flutter a ton.

Pike is going to fall a lot further than the 3rd round. He has been passed by guys like Jarrett Brown, John Skelton, and Johnathan Crompton. I could also see Jevan Snead being picked up before him because he has more raw potential than Pike. Pike has prototypical size but doesn't have great arm strength, and his ball does not come out tight on his release as it tends to wobble. He would best fit in a West Coast system in my opinion

So because Tebow had the highest rating of QB's in college last year, I guess that means that Timmy Chang, Cliff Kinsbury, and other QB's who had astronomical numbers in college can play in the NFL. Man someone needs to pick these guys off the streets they are gems waiting to happen.

Their not going to get anything more than a 7th rounder or nothing at all
