Can't be april 22nd. By then the WHOLE schedule should be out. And that is the draft?

He is on this team.

i don't get this thread. but yeah, poor guy.

They are probably going to sign a lot more, but they are all going to be backups for depth purposes. As far as signing starters, i think they are done in that department unless there is a surprise cut (like davis) and we go after them.

That is how I feel. It depends on who is available when we pick. I really want one of those OTs, but a lot of mocks have most of them gone when we pick. If by some chance the top OTs are gone and spillar is still there, I wouldn't call it a bad pick at all. And personally, I would like spillar over clausen. And apparently the bills front office feels the same way. I think that the bills won't draft spillar unless they can trade lynch before the draft. If they can't trade lynch in time, they won't pick spillar. So if all the top OTs are gone and we still have lynch, I think we might actually trade down. Which would be nice with a draft so deep with linemen.

As far as wood and levitre goes, they are great. They had great rookie performances, and they will probably only get better. So if you want to draft a Guard to replace them with the 9th pick, then you are silly. As far as hangartner goes, he is average. but he is tough, he is versitile, and he can play through injury. if you want to replace him with the 9th pick at center, you are silly. If you want to replace our RT with the 9th pick, you are silly there too. The only position as far the the 9th overall pick goes that is worth picking, it is LT. But we can also draft an LT in the 2nd round. You are making it seem like they can only draft LTs in the 1st round. wtf.

That would be awesome. Trading down might be a great thing to do. A lot of my friends who are browns fans are thinking they might be drafting spiller with their first pick..... though i haven't seen any mocks like that. But there are a lot of talks among the fans though that they think they are picking him.

Well, there are other rounds in the draft..... As for QB, the only one I would want is Bradford. And I wouldn't want him that bad. So I think QB is out of the question, especially as the first round goes. As for the line, we have a great interior line (needs depth, which we get from later rounds). But the only start we need is an LT. Which we can draft in the 2nd round. The real killer is we need a NT badly.

spiller seems like a chris johnson type player. If Buddy truly believes that, then it wouldn't be a bad pick at all. It depends on who is still there. I really want one of those top OTs.

I don't think Poz is known for his speed at all. He is mostly known for his football intelligence. He should play inside with Davis. Mitchell should be outside. That is where he played in his one year with the giants and that was a good year for him. So OLB in the 3-4 seems ideal for him. The only reason Mitchell was slated to be an ILB earlier is because ILB is the 2nd most important position in the 3-4, right after NT. And mitchell and Poz were the only LBs that were worth a damn on this team. But now that we have davis to play inside, mitchell can move to the outside. But the bills could do something different. Never know what these coaches are thinking.

sticking with the same QBs is one thing. But that Oline needs some more insurance than a 3rd round pick. That oline needs a lot more depth, and a starter for LT. Forget our passing game, our run game won't do crap either. And then injuries is another worry. The QBs.... I wouldn't mind sticking with them. 1) I am not sure I would want clausen and 2) there aren't any FA that really strike my fancy. Edwards would probably be improved with gailey, but i doubt he throws down the field. Brohm has some upside, and he was a well respected project. And unlike edwards, he hasn't really had a chance yet. But he is still unproven. And I like Fitz as a backup, and I won't get pissed that much if he has to come in and play. But Gailey's offense has ALWAYS been heavy on the run. Our RBs can't do crap if if the oline is that much of a mess. They are def going to make a big effort to improve the oline. I think most of us believe they are taking a tackle with the 1st or 2nd picks.

This is how I feel as well. Using 2nd tier guys to plug holes. They are affordable and usually perform well. The first tier guys are usually over-rated and never play as well as people want.

That and stroud kinda sucking in the front.

Yeah, that too.

Stroud was good for us, with the exception of last season. Last season he wasn't good at all.

haha Welll, Yeah, duh. the key phrase is "decent qb." We don't have one. When you don't have a decent QB, you wait till training camp to decide who to start. Coaches don't pick a starting QB when none of them are worth it and we could be either drafting one or signing a new one. That is how it is in any position. If you don't have a bonifide starter, it is open competition in training camp.

The Ravens reporters are saying he signed at midnight.

It is ok to get excited. but I would refrain from calling people "dumbass, tool, and someone with a 1st grade reading." Your excitement was seen as angry frustration.

Wow. Shefter was the one that filed it at ESPN. Everyone that says he signed is citing ESPN. Don't be so silly. and then there is wgrz that is citing PFT, and PFT is citing espn/shefter. This whole thing is a mess. But yeah, Shefter is the one that broke the story and all the people saying Edwards agreed are all getting their info from shefter, just like us.

i wouldn't mind him as a DB coach. HC coach, or anything higher than a DB coach seems like a nightmare.

Yeah. Watch, the first time (ok, maybe not the first) but one of the rare times shefter is wrong about a FA signing, it has to fall out of our favor.

Yeah, I started following him about 4 months ago. Haven't really seen too much of his stuff. He isn't usually groundbreaking, but he doesn't seem to make things up either.

I don't know how reliable this site is (i am thinking very little), but it might offer some insight into the shefter report. http://www.buffalosportsdaily.com/2010/03/...or-edwards-yet/

He reported on his twitter about an hour ago: http://twitter.com/RavensInsider

It has already been mentioned, but Aaron Wilson, the ones from the balt sun, and buff's own John Wawrow
