Super Bowl 25
Music City "Miracle"

you do understand that this is year 3 of a complete rebuild from the Donahoe era? right?
for the past 2 drafts EVERY position was a need. and now we're finally starting to be able to focus that down. and next draft will be even better and more precise.
we have a plan, but we're just 2 years into it. we'll improve this year, and then the next.
-
I'm talking about on the team's actual board, in both cases.
ok, then i really like it
-
2) You choose a player at a need position with a significantly lower grade than a second player at the same or another need position.
i could agree with something along those lines... but that definition has nothing to do with actual draft position. its a strict comparison of talent. and i like that.
but its still being judged by guidelines made up by some media guys.
-
If the team can wait to the next pick then I'd say anything else is a reach. While Tom Brady wouldn't have been a bad choice in the first round based on production the Patriots would have passed up guys that would easily be there by the time Brady would have gone off the board.
but no one really knows when anyone will or wont be on the board. its IMPOSSIBLE to ever say "we wont pick that guy now, we KNOW he'll be there in 2 rounds".
i think you guys are trying to quantify something that isnt there.
-
there is no such thing as a reach. it was a term made up by draft experts (nerds, losers) to cover their ego when teams take players they werent able to predict since, as it turns out, theyre just guessing too.
now if you want to argue the extreme and say a team taking the 10th ranked Guard with the 15th pick of the draft is a reach, ill say this:
it can work out 2 ways. 1) the player goes on to a great career and therefore its not a reach since the PROS obviously knew something we didnt. or 2) he stinks and the GM is fired and its remembered as a bad draft.
but the whole "reach" concept is just a little too much.

Currently I think the following teams require a good #1 WR.
Buffalo
Baltimore
Washington
Philadelphia
San Francisco
NY Jets
Miami
Pittsburgh
Denver
Tennessee
Atlanta
Tampa Bay
Seattle
Chicago
If we do trade down from the #11 pick, we will lose out on the top 3 WRs as I think there is going to be a run on WR from the 17th spot onwards.
I can also see the Dolphins and Jets take a WR with their 2nd round pick ahead of us. I don't think the Bills are going to get that tall #1 legit WR in the draft in the 2nd round.
i agree with your entire assessment. but i dont think we'll trade out of #11 as much as choose a Defensive player. maybe we follow tradition and trade back into the first? it IS sorta our thing...
i think the run will start around 17 as well, there will probably be 5 gone by the time we pick again in the second.
-
Ravens could draft 2, Tennessee could draft 2... who else? i know there are other teams that could pick a WR early and late.
even though this draft is supposed to be deep in WRs, when the run starts, i hope we are in a position to still get our guy.

For anyone just starting out in life and wanting some financial basics, i think Robert T. Kiyosaki and the Rich Dad series are good places to start.
He doesnt have any big secrets, or gimmicks, or anything like that. Just a good breakdown of definitions and relationships between the financial stuff we deal with everyday.
Looks lke he'll be in the Buffalo/Rochester area in the next couple of weeks too
The workshops are free...

Does not Schmitt have concussion problems?. If so I would look at another option.
ive never heard this.
PLUS, i dont think someone with a concussion problem could/would do... SOMETHING LIKE THIS!!

Alan Frampton?!?!?! who the...?

Not a fan of drafting fullbacks, but otherwise that would solve our biggest needs right off the bat. If it went down that way. I wouldn't complain one bit. Cottam although he didnt start much. Is a good athlete who could develop into a good pro player.
getting owen schmitt in the 4th would be a steal. the kid is a beast.
that would be a killer draft for us.

i have no comment for this garbage, just building the ol post count back from the crash...

wish me luck. after 1 year and 8 months of daily abuse (travelling a lot, using it about 15 hours a day), my MacBook Pro took a crap today.
they think its the logic board, i had to hand over my laptop to the geniuses for up to 5-7 business days.
im dying right now. my entire life's on it. most of it (maybe 80-90%) is backed up, but i know its not all there...

The word reach is retarded, because it simply means that the so-called "experts" misjudged what the league thought of a particular player.
"Experts" use the word reach because it places blame for being incorrect on the pick and analysis on the football team and not the "expert."
^^^^^
exactly!

April 3 is indeed the date.
so then where is it?
-

personally? probably Bryan Cox
who did i hate most on the playing field?
I think i enjoyed playing/defeating Dan Marino the most. that big, whiney crybaby. I loved when the Bills would get to him early and take him completely off of his game, and he'd be yelling at his own line... However, I have a few off-field experiences with him where I can say he was one of the nicest, classiest guys out there. So I dont "hate" him, just him as a player.
-
ah, thanks Lori.
i had read the April 3rd date a few times around here. didnt know it came from PFT...

they do that to free up bandwidth for your internet service and your phone since theyre forcing all this data through networks that arent exactly ready for it. same reason why no one is broadcasting in 1080p yet.
My Comcast HD package costs me $15 a month. As far as luxury expenses go, its worth it. Compression or no.

since when did josh reed go on talk show after national talk show, for NO OTHER REASON than to try to make himself more money?
Chad said it today, its not about winning or losing for him. he wants the cash he THINKS he deserves.
dont compare anything that any Bill has done in the press to what Chad Johnson is doing right now.
