Yes to jenkins Definitely a big yes to Lucas --> he would be a step up from "playmaker"

Seyour wasn't overlooked the day Cris Carter did his little sob story about how his crazed father stalked his hysterical girlfriend down the street, shot her in the back several times, killing her, then blew his own brains onto the asphalt. Cut to Seymour: "uhh, its weird cuz i know he did it, but i can't believe he did it" Cut to Carter praising Seymour for...i really couldn't figure out what. Being on the patriots? yeah thats got to be it. I give berman his props for actually being a vet who carved out a distinctive niche for himself which all later SC analysts have subsequently aped, quite unseuccessfully. And I will bet Berman knew Jackson dead wrong about the record, but didn't want to correct the dunce and embarass him on the air. JACKED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really? The lacrosse case ruined Duke's rep? You who are so quick to demand proof and statistics from those you disagree with -- you got any "facts" to back that statement up, besides some quote from sean hannity? Show me numbers. Or shut your hypocritical ass up.

leave it to that jerkoff tom jackson to get his facts wrong AGAIN. Espn has devolved into a sorry state full of cartoon characters and meathead ex-players who have no business getting on tv and actually talking. Im sick of the bills (even its individual players) getting no goddamn love ever (except from berman, the network's only saving grace).

I like taylor too but there's no way in hell this deal would go down. I agree taylor's injury prone reputation is undeserved. But look at it from Jax point of view. Yes they do have a good rookie back in jones-drew. I think they keep taylor around however out of concern for jones-drew getting hurt, not taylor. jones-drew is listed at 5'7"-5'8", which means he's is probably around 5'6". Being so tiny, i don't think jax is ready for their little guy to run 35 times a game --> someone that small is bound to get banged up soon or later. taylor gives them the option to limit jones-drew's carries and cut the chance of injury. They hang on to taylor, probably one of most beloved jaguars in that city.

Hey I hate to sound contrary to my tag but most of the London defenders are right: he has been pretty outstanding on otherwise bad teams the past 4 years or so. He has also shown to be consistently classy and patient with our braindead local media after every stunning loss the bills have managed to shat out recently. Bottom line is though he IS 32 and headed for the downslope soon. He also has never been a fiery "do-everything" type of LB. So to put this one down: Is LF-B a great LB and will it hurt to lose him? Sure. But is he irreplaceable? Not by a long shot.

Actually I agree with 888 no more DT rookies either...but I do think MArv takes a hard look at the FA DTs out there.

Agree 100%. What the BD&D on this board fail to realize is Clements, based on his comments, just doesn't seem to want to stay here in Buffalo, regardless of cap space and the ability of the bills to pay him. He is THE PLAYMAKER remember, he wants to go to a big market, make his chips, and "playmake" in prime time. I don't care if the bills can pay him more than Champ is making, let his B word-ass go play for greggo. Fanboys also seem to forget that clements was invisible the first half of the season and was burned repeatedly last season by the likes of Chambers, etc.

Like the picks, 2 things: I would still go for P. Willis (LB) if available; and I am not sure but I don't think hunt will be there 3rd round -- i think he'll go mid-late 2nd.

A college junior drafted in round 3 is not a long term "project." Calm down about playing time -- like others have said, we had better guys higher up on the CB depth chart this year. Sorry you wanted a "look at" him, but guess what? the bills don't give a sh*t about what you want. The coaching staff (i.e. the ones that matter, unlike you) got plenty of "looks" at Youboty in practice this year, and they felt he wasn't as prepared or ready as the other guys in the unit, PERIOD. Remember we were in the playoff picture up until week 16, I think Coach J was a little more interested in winning games than giving expert talent evaluators like yourself a chance to "look at" all of our rookies.

1st round wide outs are busts

So you're "officially sold" on losman huh? Hey I know he'll be our QB next year, that doesn't mean I'm getting on my knees for him just yet. He reverted back to old sh*t for brains self today, and i'm not even really talking about the picks. He was back to pathetically underthrowing guys, throwing behind receivers, or way ahead of them. Usually when he actually had decent protection. But hey he can sure deliver the ball to evans 50 yrds downfield after Evans burns his man with a double move! Big f'in deal. Hopefully the coaching staff lets him run a little more next year, because he delivers the ball like a handicapped girl. As for Gandy and Preston, I don't think you'll run into too many homers brave enough to defend those stiffs.

I was a big willis fan, but posters are right he has underachieved this year. He doesn't have the greatest attitude, but that can be forgiven as long as he produces. He hasn't. I know our line is mediocre at best, i have trashed them all season myself. however, really good backs can still strive behind bad O-lines. i assume willis is frustrated with the line situation as well, and it has worn on him over time. i know it may be too much to ask for a RB to excited about playing here in Buffalo, in the weather, behind such shaky line play, but the bottom line is Willis, like every other back in the league is a professional and gets paid a sh*t-ton of money. If he ain't hungry anymore after only a couple of years in the league then he needs to be gone yesterday. I'm not saying that is so, but the front office needs to take a close look at willis this off-season. I have been saying that the bills NEED a legit 3rd down back like a K. Faulk with good receiving and pass blocking ability. Maybe that would light a fire under willis's ass, maybe not.

I wouldn't mind picking up archuleta from moneybags since he is gone anyway. Kid is a great safety agaisnt the run and hits hard. Wash can have Nate.

AND cut and print! you're a f'in moron troll.

Uhh am i missing something or didn't 21 run for 95 yards against TEN? I do agree we need a tailback but not one that would challenge Willis. What the bills really need is a change of pace 3rd down tailback with excellent pass blocking and a good receiver out of the backfield a la K. Faulk or Reggie Bush. That would take much pressure off 21 and let him do his thing as an (almost) every down back. And goddamn, sure the guy is going to stuggle a little bit when he is playing hurt (cracked ribs, etc. etc.) half a f'in season and is relegated to only running to one side of the field because only one end of the OL can open up holes.

I think the sabres have a better shot at playing a prime time game on nbc or espn next year.

Really? Yeah no corner in the league NEVER gets beat, but you can't put Nate "contract year" clements in the same class as some one like Bailey, who is just a goddamn ballhawk in every sense of the word. Sure Nate looks great and seems to be the best tackler on a run defense with more leaks in it than one would care to count. But despite he recent surge in play (his eyes surely on the $$$), Nate has coverage liabilites that guys like Champ simply do not suffer from.

He is saying IF D-bag! stop posting after drinking all night you f'ing troll

Many analysts this week have brought up again the infamous 4 game test for new qb's in the NFL. This week they are referring to Romo and his recent decent after coming out blazing. Basically the theory is that new quarterbacks usually get off to a good start in their first couple of starts before defensive coordinators and the defenses they command catch up to the qb's tendencies and weaknesses and bring them back down to earth. So how do you(my fellow humble posters) evaluate the QBs we have seen this season and about the validity of this theory in general???

I have got another new rule: you're dumb. Posluszny has proved his caliber of play already...despite coming off injury this past year. Oh, you know who also is coming of two injuries, and is about 10 years older? Spikes. Seriously how much longer do you mooks think Spikes and Fletcher can play up to their previous levels? What would you rather happen...lose these old accomplished players in a year or to and THEN address the linebackers in the draft? Why not draft a top young prospect this year if he is there now and have him learn behind these guys, who are both far past their prime? Reading your pompous post makes my head hurt...ever play football in your life?

I agree all great replies guys. my only concern about getting a FA offensive guard is that im not sure how deep that pool is going to be. Despite his porno first name, i really think the boys (grampas?) upstairs need to make a hard push for Briggs if we don't land a big name college LB like Posluszny in the draft cuz I still am not convinced about Ellison or Crowell in our present D scheme. Nate is going to command mucho $$$ though so if we reisgn him Briggs may be out of our reach.

Jesse Jackson and the others like him left their actual concern for civil rights back in the 60's. He is a politician now, the same as any number of crooked white politicos you see on a given day. And if there is one thing politicians love, its a photo opportunity. Sheeit, Jesse is in the news pretty much every time there is a legal action involving black person(s) against white person(s). Don't be surprised, its all about the $$$ baby.

It is always good to hear from soldiers themselves but what i don't get is if they're sick of the media and politicians, why do they seem so down with Hannity, who is just a twisted amalgamation of the worst elements of both? He is on radio and TV hours everyday spewing tired ass talking points that he gets from...politicians! Instead of speaking about the war on a regular basis on his show, there are umpteen features on Natalie Holloway and the poor lacrosse boys from Duke. I'm glad he actually went over there but come on Hannity is a giant toolbox

Is it just the voices in my head or haven't all the recent super bowl champions had above average to great TEs? Pitt has a great young TE in Miller last year, even though his production is off this year. And the Pats have had at least one, sometimes two good TEs on their championship teams. The bills in their heyday had a borderline HOF TE in Pete Metzelaars. Royal isn't even in the same league as any of these guys. Compound that with the facts that we: 1) have a young QB who could really use a mobile, sure-handed TE as an outlet, and 2) we don't have a true 3rd down Reggie Bush/Kevin Faulk type of receiving tailback as a subsistute, and it really doesn't suprise me we are going to lose 9 games this year.
