I think the guy's a great football player. Aside from the combine numbers and less than ideal measurables,he simply makes plays. I am guessing he will be devalued because Michigan's defense was so horrible, might be a good depth/special teams guy. Would not be upset at all burning a later pick on him.

Chan being an offensive coach makes drafting a QB a possibility. His comments about the spread being the coming trend and his past success with Kordell Stewart makes me think he would take Cam Newton and groom him. If Ralph spends some money on two starter type FA's I say go for it. History says Ralph and Littman spend peanuts on B level FA's instead. Drafting one of the DL and a Martez Wilson in round 2 would not upset me at all.

Jonathon Scott did ok as a run blocker for Pittsburgh. They run a lot so it did not expose his off balance pass blocking. He was hardly horrible in the games I saw. Certainly better than Cornell Green.

I would have a hard time giing him a lot of money. Then again,if he only played 3 games he would be more productive than Maybin and McCargo.

Like it a lot. Picks 2 and 3 are solid players. Like Quan a lot. Newton is growing on me as well.

I am wide awake. Rex Ryan is known for his blitz packages which are there to pressure the passer. Passes come out faster, timing is thrown off. Sacks are not the only measure of defense. The Bills need to "pressure the passer" and stop the run with a better talent level up front before they add DB's.

Every cornerback Revis included can be exposed when there is no pass rush. And he better be a good run defender because teams run all day on this defense. We have other needs that are more immediate. If Ralph spent some of his Toronto profits on some Free Agents, I am all for luxury picks.

Well I thought we drafted last year on the premise that we were converting to a 3-4. Merriman was signed and his background is 3-4. On the flip we extended Kelsay who can only contribute in a 4-3. Poz cannot play middle in a 4-3 so he must be out if we go that way. It appears much like our hybrid defense we have a hybrid front office that picks up players that fit both systems yet never has enough good players to be good at either.

Well they seem behind the wave on having a front seven in place to play run defense to compete with the Jets and Patriots. Behind the wave on having a competent OLine. Behind the wave on having a TE who can run block and exploit the middle of the field. The wave I would pay attention to is the two physical teams playing next Sunday. The physical football wave has produced champions for 40+ years.

Oz nailed it. Pack drafts very well and grabs an occassional FA, not the street free agents or the Cornell Green level.

Urlacher is one of the best linebackers in the game and has been for years. Poz should never be in the same conversation.

Go with size and strength early, worry about speed later. A mean attitude works as well. Fairley, Bowers or Dareus have to be the selection unless we trade back. Enough with the speed guys and the projections.

I was very impressed with the Steeler Tight ends yesterday and their efforts in the run game. I thought Heath Miller was tremendous and showed great strength standing up Calvin Pace on the goal line for a Steeler score. Miller and Speath were blocking the second level all afternoon and led to some good runs. My favorite play of the day was watching Miller knock David Harris back into the endzone on another score. I hope Buddy and Chan realize the importance the position plays in the run game and have plans to add a real one to the Bills roster.

Best one yet! A lot of Big guys. Sign Chad Greenway and add this bunch and we might be heading in right direction. Might throw a RB in the later rounds. Draftek picks 1. Marcell Dareus DE 6'3" 306 2. Demarcus Love ROT 6'5" 315 3. Jerrell Powe NT 6'2" 328 4. Luke Stocker TE 6'5" 255 4. Wayne Daniels OLB 6'2" 250 5. Casey Matthews SILB 6'2" 235 6. Scott Tolzien QB 6'3" 208 7. Alex Linnenkohl OC 6'2" 303 Not bad but Love got abused by Cameron Heyward so not sure there. And can we please stop with the late round QB bums Tolzien wont make it in the league and we got Brown so lets get guys who can play. I would pick Stephen Paea NT at 2, Sam Acho OLB at 3,Lee Ziemba ROT at 4.2 and Ciff Matthews OLB at 6.

We have so many holes and I have to think the run defense will be the first priority. To draft the top TE's Rudolph, it is likely a second pick. I would rather they go OT or LB there. Now if Ralph could be generous and spend some of money he made on the Toronto deal on a Chad Greenway or David Harris, I could live with Rudolph in the second.

Mallett will go in the top 10 if not top 5. That arm will blow away scouts on the workouts. As for the interception at the end, go check the college records of Marino and Kelly etc. They all threw plenty of ints. His skills absolutely translate to the NFL. The question for the Bills is whether he helps the team more than Bowers, Fairly or Dareus. Sounds like Chan is committed to Fitz.

If Luck comes out, Carolina will trade back. A team will make the move. He looked so good, I am sorta hoping one of those teams is Buffalo.

I found it embarrassing to watch the Jets never throw a pass and go right down the field with a ton of backups playing for them. Was it my imagination or did the blitz packages of the last few weeks disappear today? I am thinking Chan and Buddy were not upset with the loss today. OMG, did you see McKelvin get shoved off the field on the 3rd and 17 play?

Quan Sturdivant was one of the better players I saw over the last few days. Love to see him in the fold. I agree about Chan going 4 wide rather than using a TE.

Yesterday's performance showed the need for upgraded LB play. Pass rushing, getting off blocks and coverage were all horrible yesterday. I knew Pos was slow but watching the 36 year old 300 TE Crumpler easily outrun him was alarming. DaQuan Bowers, DE, Clemson Robert Quinn OLB UNC Cameron Jordan DE Cal Quan Sturdivant, ILB, North Carolina Greg Jones, ILB, Michigan State Bruce Carter OLB, North Carolina Kenny Tate S Maryland Casey Matthews, ILB, Oregon Pierre Allen DE Nebraska Scott Lutrus OLB UCONN So that means the list currently looks like this: 1. Andrew Luck 2. Cam Newton 3. Ryan Mallett 4. Nick Fairley 5. Da'Quan Bowers 6. Gabe Carimi 7. Marcell Dareus 8. Anthony Castonzo 9. Robert Quinn 10.DeMarcus Love

The Patriots have built their teams multiple ways. They won their first Super Bowl of the Brady era with a collection of free agents. They trade for veterans like Corey Dillon, Randy Moss and Deion Branch where needed. They draft big people and TE's consistently. Recently, they started drafting LB's when Vrabel and Bruschi got older. It all starts with Belechek being a great coach and having the QB that has you scoring on every possession.

Bill: Any thoughts on #76 Rhinehardt. He was moving the pile pretty well at the end of the game. I was impressed with his snapshot appearence.

Great take Red ! Enough is enough with this guy. No other team makes this spin argument to support a dud. Bottom line no playoffs during his tenure.

Run defense in the first half was nonexistant. Sometimes the runner was surrounded and still gained 5 yards. Need 2 linebackers and a DE at least in offseason.

I agree completely on Stroud. He is easily blocked and no comparison to his first year here. Carrington, Troup and Moats are all contributing. Looking forward to another Buddy draft.
