Yea, your right 37 sacks in 2 seasons playing both in a 34 and a 43 and being injured his first few games of this season. That sounds like it sucks to me too.

I can't help but laugh at the negative comments on this guy. After Maybin, everyone around here is seriously gun shy. This kid is waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy better than Maybin. When ever anyone mentions OLB for a draft prospect, everyone around here cringes. That doesn't mean we don't still need one.

Both you and the OP make some valid points. The thing is, a lot of people on this board tend to zero in on one thing and just can't seem to see past that. (A. We need a franchise QB. B. We need a big DT. etc...) Thing is, both FA and the Draft are a crap shoot at best. Your competing against all the other teams in the NFL to improve your team. The thing that impresses me about the OP is that he is looking at other options that many here are not. The thing that I don't agree with is that this team really does need to find impact players. I'm hoping that we go after some hard hitting LBs myself(first over all pick? maybe....maybe not). I just want to see the run stopped because I think it is the #1 glaring weakness of this team. How we get there does not really matter, because the variables are always changing. There is no such thing as fixed formula that will work. I think Nix is not one to allow himself to be fixated on one player. He wants impact players and is willing to find them wherever they may be available and that's a good thing. His pickup of Chan Gaily and now Dave W. are good moves. His pickup of Dwan Edwards and Shawne Merriman on the open market are good moves. His pick up of Carrington, Moats and Troupe in the draft are good moves. The thing is, he seems to be looking for ways to improve at every corner. We'll just have to wait to see what he has up his sleeve next.

Excellent! Williams and Soliai next to each other would be awesome. Darius....might be great.

Except there isn't a franchise QB anywhere in this draft.

That's funny. I read the entire article and can't find the spot where Nix revealed who he was going after in the draft..............Nope, still don't see it.

The whole reason for starting this post was not to get comments about her promotion so much as wondering if folks think Ralph is hoping that she will eventually prove herself sufficiently to take over when he dies. Could it be that the organization will not be sold when he dies? If the Buffalo Bills are in fact a corporate organization, rather than a sole proprietorship, the company can continue on with or without Ralph Wilson. There may simply be a stipulation that his family continues to be taken care of rather than the common belief that the organization will flat out be sold to a new owner.

A new heir? I can't believe no one is commenting on this.

This guy is not just a speed OLB. He really likes to hit people. That's pretty much how I look at it too. Our trench guys on D really need to be upgraded. But if Von Miller is the guy I would not complain. The reason is that a 3-4 really needs outstanding LBs and he is the best in this class.

I can't say I'd be too upset over this pick. The guy is a game changer. Looking at his highlight reels, he really plays with fire and intensity.

The problem with this logic is that the team who wants to trade up is the one that will be seeking a partner to trade with, not the other way around. A team that is interested in trading down can only hope that another team is foolish enough to consider it and if they are(not freakin' likely) great!

It would be great if he slipped to our second round pick and we were able to get someone like Fairley or Darius in the 1st. I really think this is the direction the Bills should be thinking to improve. Maybe pick up some linebackers in the later rounds. I can't help thinking that the offense is on the right track with Gailey calling the shots and Fitzy behind center. Beefing up the defense would really go a long way to improving this team.

Agreed.

I tend to agree with this approach and Fairley is the one. JMO.

Not young. Probably older than you. Just bad memory.

yep yer right, was #1 in 1985. Still, it's the highest Buffalo has picked since.

last time the Bills picked 3rd they grabbed someone by the name of Bruce Smith. I might be crazy, but I think we should follow a similar road map.

Right on the money. It seems no one around here understands the difference between FS & SS.

Shoot, the season ain't even over yet. My Christmas wish list includes beating the Cheatriots and the Jests.

Boo who?

Because sooner or later he's bound to be right. He's pretty close to being due.

Well welcome aboard, plyngby.

I like the way you think.

Whew!!! I'm glad that's over with.

Oh my. I can't believe this kicker.
