I admire you as a poster, and I will leave it at that!

We will all stop the talk when we actually get a real center in here. Fowler & Preston are stop gap centers. If Mack is drafted by Buffalo he would start over either one!

Watching that Monday night game you'd never think Cleveland needs DB help.....

Before I put a reply. Nice post, you pointed some things out to me I didnt see before. The Nate Clemets thing, you are correct....I totally looked over the fact that he was offered that much from San Fran, went right over my head. And I do agree with that. Im on the same boat as you with the Winfield thing, I would have loved to keep that guy. As for Fletcher and the speed and explosiveness, I look at our LB's and they didnt show any of that speed or explosiveness. I think Fletcher would have played well with the team. As for Spikes, I only brought him up cause of the leadership skills he had, the motivational stuff he brings with his name. Id have no issues having Spikes behind Poz, Mitchell & Fletcher.....Spikes for depth is better then Ellison & Digorgio. I think we both can see some major issues with this team. I think we both can agree that keeping some key players that are with the team is a must! And one thing is for sure, neither one of us can change what happens with this team......

Buffalo Bills are 27 million under the cap, trust me they can keep Greer if they choose. Letting him walk creates another hold in the secondary. Yeah McKelvin played good, but after him & McGee you dont have much!

Top 10 thats might be pushing it. Maybe if he has another good season....but id say top 15-18.....but not top 10, not yet at least.

Hey man you have every right to think whatever you please about the Bills. I respect it. But trading away McGee opens another hole or shall i say Depth issues on the defense. Not saying im against Winslow, Id love to have him. I think he can be had without trading away some players.....The one thing I will say though, McGee will see more of the playing field than the injury prone Winslow.

You would be really surprised how much our defensive players would shine if our DL was good. Look at the Giants from last year, they didnt have big name players in the secondary, but up front they were nasty and the guys behind them played really well. McGee, Greer are 2 guys you cant let walk...... And dont get me wrong, im not saying we have superior talent like other teams, but we certainly have talent to be good in this league. McGee & Greer are both really good CB's. With the lack of a defensive pass rush you have to admit both guys played really well. Now, insert a pass rush on this team, both guys become lock down CB's. They are only good as the guys in front of them.....I will say that on DL, we lack talent all the way across with Stroud being the only decent player on that DL. But I do think fixing the DL only helps the guys behind them. I think we see different players with Poz, Mitchell, Whitner.......with a really good DL.

The problem sits with the owner of the Buffalo Bills, Ralph Wilson. This game of let him walk cause we dont want to pay for the players services is getting old like our owner. This is not directed at you in general, but the attitude of let him walk cause in another year he will cost too much is killing the Buffalo Bills. Imagine where the defense would be if we kept Pat Williams, Antoine Winfield, London Fletcher, & even Nate Clements for that matter or even Spikes. The Buffalo Bills have had the finances to keep these guys, but no the players knew the organization wouldnt pay them so they left for better opportunities elsewhere. All Ralph Wilson had to do is give them respectable contracts and they would have stayed. But no, the front office instead chooses the "let them go routine cause we cant afford them when we have 27 plus million in FREE cap space". And you say we have decent depth behind McGee, well I agree with that, however, letting McGee go creates less Depth then we have now. Yeah McKelvin & Corner & even Youboty showed some skills, but when it comes down to it, the logical and smart thing to do is keep your best talent, not let them walk cause they will cost money. I mean HELLO....talent costs money, you only win games when you have the talent to do so. Im not trying to be a negative nancy here and nor do I know the in's and out's of football. But I do know, that when you have talent on the team, you dont find ways to get rid of them cause they will cost money, you find ways to keep the talent despite them costing money. This has been the loser mentality of this franchise the past decade and you seen first hand what it got us....10 years of NOT making the playoffs. I get so sick of people thinking of ways to trade our best impact players cause they will cost money. This attitude has to go, but with the current owner of the Bills, Ralph Wilson this is the attitude the fans and the organization will have. But when it boils down to it, you dont find ways to trade away talent cause you are affraid to lose them, you need to find ways to keep that talent that makes your team good. And with the cap space we have, these players can be kept, and we also have the ability to add some players to make the team good.

Keep McGee get a TE in FA or draft...... PLEASE STOP TRYING TO TRADE AWAY OUR BEST TALENT ON DEFENSE. Before you know it, we will have huge holes at CB cause we traded all of them away.

I think the Jets team needs to figure out what Favre is doing. If he retires again, I think the QB position for the Jets is really poor......that could set them back.

so you want to trade away good productive CB talent for a disgruntled Winslow? Why trade away our best CB's? I mean, lets just keep digging that hole we are currently in.....

If Buffalo takes a TE with its first pick its only cause they got some DE in free agency.

With seeing all the mocks that have Buffalo taking a TE with its first pick, tells me one thing.....they didnt pay attention to our season, and they didnt see the lack of pass rush our team had. TE is a needed in Buffalo, but everything is 2nd to DE. And to be honest, I think the center position is more important than TE. But hopefully thats taken care of in FA. And if it is, I do see a TE being taken with the 2nd round pick. But on the other hand, I can see Buffalo keeping who they have at TE......

I'm really curious, but......what other DT's were in the boards when Buffalo traded back into the first to grab McCargo? I dont like calling players a bust, but I find myself doing it regardless, but....I think in this case, it might be called a blunder by the front office! but I am curious what DT's were on the boards after he was picked.

I watched the entire practice yesterday on NFL Network and I watched Raji & Mack go at it and 95% of the time Mack was getting beat by him. There was one play where Mack did dominate Raji. But most of the time, Mack was getting beat left and right. He didnt look any better then Duke Preston! Caldwell's stock has gone up this week. Might even go up further with a nice showing in the bowl..... If Mack cant hang with Raji, he wont be able to hang with the DT's we face within our own division!

I might take heat for this.......but here goes.......I agree with Raji pick, id take him in an instant. With him and Stroud together, I honestly think our DE's would make more plays......fire away!

True, he did have a back problem when we tried to trade him. I think its a combination of things really. I really dont see him with the Bills next season. But, I wish the kid the best and I hope he can turn it around if not here in Buffalo then somewhere else.....

There is talk about him being moved to LB cause his man to man coverage skills were really exposed during the Senior Bowl practices. I mean.....really bad!

I agree!

Stop and think........ Look at what Leonard had in front of him while he was in Buffalo......NOT MUCH Look at what he had in front of him in Baltimore. I mean the players on Baltimore's D are better ALL THE WAY AROUND then ANY Bills player on defense. Buffalo dont even compare. Honestly Baltimore's backups are better then some of our starters.... So the supporting cast is what made Jimmy Leonard a better player. Bring him back to Buffalo and he would be the same player he was before he left. A NON FACTOR PLAYER! Kinda how Donte Whitner is starting to become.

It was DESIRE that he lacked! Maybe the right coach can turn him around, but if there is no Desire, there is no hope. B.J. Raji!

Somewhat my plan as well. If not Crowell, then im not sure who. But Thats a decent plan. My fear is that Coffman might not be there when we pick round 2. But who knows. Free Agency really dictates what a team will do come draft day.

Would keeping Crowell help that position?
