Dolphins Cowboys Steelers (for those games where they just took it to us on Monday night). I really don't hate the Pats and Jets all that much. I mean, I like it when they do poorly, but i focus my dislike on the Fins.

And this question for the next week:"who would you rather have?"

You make some really good points. Their only crime is being good. I just really don't want to deal with the week-long Manning- Brady lovefest.

Don't trade players within the division! Also, the jets will draft a young, power back to go with Washington ... don't think they like Houston a lot. Also, he is not a "Mangenius" guy.

Some team would pay a first rounder for him, I think. He is a instant number-one back. Here is the logic: is a player you are going to pay a first round pick for better than what is in the draft? In the case of the Giants, very possible. I would like to keep the RB postion cheap and with many different options. You do not need a stud RB from college, but a guy who can run in the league. I rather spend money on improving the O-line.

His Dad. At least he did not do the bowl games. Also, Troy is not great — every comment begins with, "Yeah ..."

Capers will go if B-Schot becomes coach, you think he wants to be under a youngster? Marty would be a good pick because he is older and can get those vets to play. I heard today Jim Mora Jr. is heading down there for interview number two. The Fins are worse off now than when Wannie left.

They moved POZ to the middle this year, but his best year was pre-knee injury and on the outside. I felt your way about Ginn for a while now because he also does not have a lot of size. A little guy who is really fast, but has had a hard time being a WR right away? We already drafted that guy a few years ago. I would like to see POZ in Bills uniform, I follow PSU, but I also know this would not be the best move for the team.

Phil, Just looked it up, and we beat the Giants in week 15 17-13 in New York. We also beat the second Cowboys team 13-10 at their place.

What luck. We went up against such great teams. I wish we could have landed some of the lesser SB teams. I have a tough time watching those SB shows, too, and I always think that kick is going to be good.

WRW, good point. I also think you have to draft an RB if a talented one is around later in the draft. They have needs beyond RB.

Willis could watch his actions more. If the Bills dropped him because of babies' daddie stuff, I can see why. He could really be a role model and embrace the city that put so much faith in him, but people here like the punter better than him.

I bet the NFL really bones the two teams by making them both go before each team's bye week. Of course, I like that for the Fins. Man, Europe wants to see the Giants? I guess they haven't seen the last 8 weeks of the season yet

I was going to say stay in school if he was going to go 3rd or 4th round, but what does he have to go back to in football at ND? Yeah, I do think all those guys should get their degrees because not everyone has a chance too, but I can see why Walker is coming out. Also, unless he goes to a big market (Chicago or NY), he will have less national pressure than he did at ND.

My question: what about the "Comeback?" And don't tell me it was trumped by the 49ers' comeback a few years ago.

Man, Amobi Okoye would be such a gusty pick, but I sort of like it. He is so young, so that means he could really be molded by precise coaching.

Here, by request, is Espn's McShay's mock Draft: Much will change in the coming months, as underclassmen officially declare and players take part in postseason all-star games, individual workouts and the scouting combine, but here is our initial first-round mock for the 2007 NFL draft: x -- Still to be determined by coin flip y -- Still to be determined by playoffs + -- Underclassman 1. Oakland Raiders (2-14) Projected pick: +JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU Russell vs. Brady Quinn? Let the great debate begin. Most teams have Quinn ahead of Russell, but Raiders owner Al Davis could fall in love with Russell's size and deep arm. 2. Detroit (3-13) Projected pick: Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame The Lions will be stoked if Quinn falls to them at No. 2. Wouldn't it be great, though, if Matt Millen takes another wide receiver (Calvin Johnson) with this pick? 3t. x-Cleveland (4-12) Projected pick: +Alan Branch, DT, Michigan The Browns want Russell with this pick, but they'll settle for a 330-pound playmaker to help solidify Romeo Crennel's three-man defensive front. 3t. x-Tampa Bay (4-12) Projected pick: +Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech The Bucs have other more pressing needs, but coach Jon Gruden can't pass on the draft's most dynamic offensive weapon. 5. Arizona (5-11) Projected pick: Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin As usual, the Cardinals are a prime candidate to trade down. They should get lots of bidders if Thomas -- the only elite offensive lineman in this class -- is still available. 6. Washington (5-11) Projected pick: Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson Adams is a no-brainer for a Redskins defense that set a team record for the fewest sacks in a season (19) in 2006. 7. Minnesota (6-10) Projected pick: +Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas It's hard to believe the Vikings still need defensive end help, but Erasmus James suffered a season-ending injury in the opener and Kenechi Udeze failed to notch a sack. Anderson is the complete package physically and he should capitalize on 13.5 sacks as a junior in 2006. 8. Houston (6-10) Projected pick: +Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma Peterson is expected to make his decision to bolt for the NFL in the next few days. Drafting Peterson here would help to overshadow the Texans' colossal mistake of passing on Reggie Bush with the top overall pick last year. 9. Miami (6-10) Projected pick: Leon Hall, CB, Michigan The Dolphins could consider QB Brian Brohm with this pick, but they also could go the free-agency route in order to get short-term relief. Hall would be a good value here and would help upgrade a patchwork secondary. 10. Atlanta (7-9) Projected pick: LaRon Landry, S, LSU Landry is a ball-hawk free safety who would instantly upgrade the athleticism of the Falcons secondary. 11. San Francisco (7-9) Projected pick: +Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU Dorsey might not fall this far, but the 49ers certainly wouldn't protest such a scenario. Dorsey is a disruptive force as a one-gap penetrating interior lineman. 12. Buffalo (7-9) Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville Projected pick: The Bills have more pressing needs, including cornerback and middle linebacker. However, Okoye is a fast-rising 19-year-old with great potential. 13. St. Louis (8-8) Projected pick: Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska Carriker, a quick and powerful 290-pound defensive end, could be a good complement opposite DE Leonard Little. 14. Carolina (8-8) Projected pick: +Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville The Panthers need help at middle linebacker, left tackle, safety and tight end, but it also might be time to address life after QB Jake Delhomme. If Brohm elects to leave school early, he should be taken somewhere between picks No. 10 and 20. 15. Pittsburgh (8-8) Projected pick: Quentin Moses, DE/OLB, Georgia Moses' stock is dropping after a subpar senior year, but it will spike once he works out at the combine next month. 16. Green Bay (8-8) Projected pick: +Marshawn Lynch, RB, Cal QB Brett Favre could help maximize Lynch's explosiveness and versatility if they're working in the same backfield in 2007. 17. Jacksonville (8-8) Projected pick: +Ted Ginn Jr., WR/RS, Ohio State Ginn Jr. has a tough decision to make after injuring his ankle in the first quarter of the BCS title game. Assuming he turns pro, the Jaguars could use his speed. Despite spending first-round picks on the position in 2004 (Reggie Williams) and 2005 (Matt Jones), no Jaguar finished in the NFL's top 50 in catches. 18. Cincinnati (8-8) Projected pick: Tank Tyler, DT, N.C. State Tyler had a monster season as a senior, and his combination of power and quickness would help upgrade the Bengals' ailing defensive front. 19. Tennessee (8-8) Projected pick: +Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC Jarrett is a dynamic playmaker with extraordinary hand-eye coordination, but he might not run well enough to land a spot in the top 15. However, the former Trojans receiver could make quite a team with the former Longhorns quarterback (Vince Young) in Tennessee. 20. N.Y. Giants (8-8) Projected pick: +Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsburgh The Giants must upgrade their cover-corner situation, and Revis displays the athleticism and ball skills to fit their needs. Revis will compete for the second cornerback taken behind Hall in this year's class. 21. Denver (9-7) Projected pick: Daymeion Hughes, CB, Cal The tragic passing of Darrent Williams will force the Broncos to re-evaluate their personnel needs this offseason. 22. Dallas (9-7) Projected pick: +Reggie Nelson, S, Florida Nelson, a speedy center fielder with excellent ball skills, would provide an ideal complement next to hard-hitting S Roy Williams. 23. Kansas City (9-7) Projected pick: +Sidney Rice, WR, South Carolina Rice's draft stock could fluctuate greatly depending on his postseason workouts. Assuming he grades out as a late first-round prospect, the Chiefs would welcome his pass-catching services on the perimeter. 24. y-New England (from Seattle) Projected pick: +Jarvis Moss, DE/OLB, Florida Moss is an undersized pass-rushing end who would fit well as an outside linebacker in the Patriots' 3-4 defensive scheme. Plus, Bill Belichick obviously has a thing for Gators players. 25. y-N.Y. Jets (10-6) Projected pick: Kenny Irons, RB, Auburn Irons' draft stock is plummeting after a disappointing senior campaign. However, don't be surprised if he works his way back into the first round by running well and checking out physically at next month's combine. The Jets might be desperate enough to take a gamble. 26. y-New Orleans (10-6) Projected pick: Marcus McCauley, CB, Fresno State The Saints need lots of help on defense, and selecting McCauley would be a step in the right direction. McCauley is raw but he's also a 6-foot-1 cornerback with 4.3-second speed in the 40-yard dash. 27. y-Philadelphia (10-6) Projected pick: +Lawrence Timmons, OLB, Florida State Timmons is unpolished, but he's a big hitter with great speed for his size. 28. y-New England (12-4) Projected pick: Jeff Samardzija, WR, Notre Dame Samardzija could easily slip out of the first round due to his desire to play both baseball (Cubs) and football professionally. The Patriots should be "in the know" thanks to their old buddy Charlie Weis. 29. y-Indianapolis (12-4) Projected pick: Patrick Willis, ILB, Ole Miss The Colts' run defense was abysmal during the regular season, so drafting a one-man wrecking crew like Willis makes a lot of sense with this pick. Willis notched 265 tackles during his final three seasons at Ole Miss. 30. y-Chicago (13-3) Projected pick: Levi Brown, OT, Penn State Brown could slip after a disappointing senior season, but it's still tough to find a tackle with his combination of size and agility. 31. y-Baltimore (13-3) Projected pick: LaMarr Woodley, DE/OLB, Michigan The Ravens could use a youth influx at linebacker, and Woodley would be a good fit thanks to his experience playing in a similar hybrid 3-4/4-3 defensive scheme at Michigan. 32. y-San Diego (14-2) Projected pick: Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU A young weapon like Bowe at wide receiver could take an already-potent Chargers offense to the next level.

From ESPN Insider. If this is the order (it likely won't be), the Bills will have a lot of talented options. Those wanting a WR will like this list. 10. Leon Hall, CB, Michigan (5-11, 193) | previous: 3 Tough customer who also shows very good anticipation and awareness in coverage. Hall leads the Wolverines with three interceptions. 11. LaRon Landry, DB, LSU (6-1½, 205) | previous: 6 Four-year starter who has proven to be Mr. Reliable throughout his career. Landry lead LSU with 42 solo tackles. 12. Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville (6-1½, 298) | previous: 5 A four-year veteran, and he is only 19 years old. Okoye is quick and explosive and goes all-out on every play. He is not only good at eating up space but also gets good penetration into the backfield. He's second on the Cardinals in both sacks and tackles for loss. 13. Jeff Samardzija, WR, Notre Dame (6-4½, 215) | previous: 10 Super hands and concentration with outstanding speed-to-size ratio. He caught a touchdown pass in the final five games of the season. *14. Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC (6-4, 210) | previous: UR Has the size and natural pass receiving skills to create mismatches against smaller CB's. Also has better quickness out of his break than people give him credit for. *15. Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee (6-2½, 210) | previous: UR Came through with a number of highlight film type "wow" plays this season. If he runs well at the Combine, Meachem could elevate his draft position in the weeks leading up to the draft. 16. Tony Ugoh, OT, Arkansas (6-5, 308) | previous: 9 Ugoh's stock has been rising all year to the point where he's one of the more intriguing senior prospects in the nation. *17. Charles Johnson, DE, Georgia (6-2, 280) | previous: UR Shows natural pass rush skills and his workout numbers should be eye catching.

Also, this year does not have the talent of last year's draft, which makes the chances of a miss higher.

At first, I was mad about our picks because we passed on superstars, or what seemed to be, but they picked well in hindsight. Is it possible Marv, like NE's people, found guys who just want to play? He selected guys with who want to work hard, and guys with major chips on their shoulders because they were selected later than they thought they would be (Ashton and Ko). A whole team of those type guys could go far.

Bush could very easily drop to the second. If he does, the Bills should look long and hard at him. He would be great, young backup on Willis. I just don't think that many teams need RBs in the first round to have him go then.

I like it. I am not sure of how Johnson has any authority to do the "Man Laws" I mean, Howie Long I can see, but Johnson? Sorry

Would Dan Morgan come cheap, though? I know he is hurt a lot, but a short deal would be great for a mil or two might be worth it.

Jim has become the face of those teams, along with many QBs on great teams. Also, Frank does not seem to one to blow his own horn. Maybe why he remains a very beloved Bill by fans.

It was a taylor love-fest today. In the minds of that cast, the only DE in the AFC East are Taylor and Seymour, and even he gets overlooked from time-to-time. Taylor gets a lot of credit for his work against Brady because the QB has so many Dolphins-related issues.
