KOKBILLS

Seriously? You know the odds of finding a Tom Brady caliber QB in the 6th Round? Let's see there's Brady, then there's... The truth is the odds of finding a Franchise QB decrease with every Round that goes by...That's fact...Not saying you can't find one late...Just saying the odds are REALLY against it...

We'll see...He's going to be a Rookie...He was the #34 Overall Pick in a terrible Draft Year for DB's...I like Williams, but projecting him to start as a Rookie in the NFL is a HUGE stretch...As a 5th or 6th DB he should do very well though as he learns his craft...

Where's Rudolph?

This is EXACTLY what I believe to be the problem with a lot of Bills Fans when they evaluate Fitz...They're comparing him to JP and Trent and not to the better NFL QB's...

Agreed...And My feeling is bash away...That's what Local Sports Talk does some time...But TALK about The Bills and be pasionate about your Home Town Sports...Especially when one of the Sports is The NFL! And especially during the NFL peak times, the Draft being one of them...I figure if I can get my brain bashed in by Buffalo Bills Football year after year, and yet keep coming back every year for more, the least someone can do who is getting PAID to talk about it is ACT like they care...

Agreed... I'm not saying the Bills can't win with Fitz at QB because I can't see into the future...I am saying that winning consistently, winning 10 Games or more in a Season with the QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has been thus far in his career is almost impossible...He's going to have to get MUCH better...And it's a stretch at this point to assume a QB with a 12-23 Record as a Starter and a career 73 QB Rating is going to be able to improve that much...Even though 2010 was by far his best season so far Fitz is going to have to do MUCH better for The Bills to be a consistant winner...I'm not a gambling man, but if I was I would not bet on Fitz...Not yet anyway... Cherry picking? It could be easily be explained as how Fitz did after Teams got a few weeks of Game Film on him...I don't see how that's cherry-picking...It's reality...And the stats from those last 9 Games are MUCH closer to the QB he was before the first 4 Games...So, at this point anyway, it's actually more likely the first 4 Games were the exception...And I'm not predicting anything...Just saying it is what it is...

Wow! That's REALLY sad...I bet Schoop would be more excited if it was an Actors Draft or maybe some kind of Food Draft...Or whatever it is they do...ON AIR sometimes...They always seem to get up for that stuff...If I was their Boss and I heard them get negative about the NFL Draft I would fire them in a half-a-heartbeat...For no reason other than it's a freaking SPORTS TALK Station in an NFL Market? How does ANY On-Air personality get away with saying the NFL Draft is stupid? That is insane...

He gave the Vikes an A for Ponder at #12, yet The Bills get a B+ for Dareus...These Grades are SO stupid anyway...But come on?

I'm not up there anymore so I Stream WGR as much as I can...No matter what Sport is more popular in WNY I get the feeling most Folks are frustrated by the personalities, especially the afternoon personalities, being outwardly indifferent about The NFL and The Draft...To me it would be unacceptable as well...I'm in a bigger sports Market down here in Charlotte where College Basketball is pretty big, and the Local Sports Talk has been all about the NFL draft for over a Month now...I know the Panthers had the #1 Pick and Newton is quite the topic for conversation, but still...The fact that these guys are not REAL excited about any Draft for the NFL Team in their Town, when it's their job to discuss it...That's kind of sad...I'd kill for that job...And I'd find plenty of excitement within for both NHL and NFL talk... 'BTW I do have to say I still don't mind Howard Simon at all...Maybe it's the fact that I've been listening to the guy forever...I don't know...At least he comes across like he cares about The Bills...But the fact that WGR is SO married to the Sabres does make it a little tough to listen to at times if The Bills are your #1 Buffalo Sports priority...

Good thoughts Bill... I doubt VERY much Bowers will be the Pick...I just think with the Dareus Pick, Carrington last year, Edwards, and Spencer the Bills will look to plug holes elsewhere...Not to mention the injury situation...The Bills rarely take chances like that...If they did take a chance on an injury I would MUCH rather see them go with NC LB Bruce Carter... I'm intrigued with Nix's comment about finding another Starter at #34...If that's what they plan on then it could be RT, ILB (OLB of they move Moats inside), or TE I'm guessing...With that in mind I think Ayers, Houston, and Wilson are in play at LB...I don't see much value on the O-Line at #34...And of coarse Rudolph should be there unless someone Trades up to #33 to grab him... Ryan Mallett would sure stir up some conversation... Seriously though, I have faith in Gailey with QB's...If they take Mallett I think Gailey would have a plan in place to build an Offense around him...But I have a feeling they like Kaepernick more... I'm hoping for Rudolph at #34...I just think landing the #1 D-Lineman, and the #1 TE in this Draft would be pretty sweet!

That's not what I said...I'm not extrapolating anything...What the problem with some people around here? All I commented on was what was said in the Presser...That's it...No reading into anything...I could care less what anyone assumes from the comments...Some of Y'all are so busy being defensive and kissing butt about this QB stuff you can't even be civil...It makes me sick and is exactly what is wrong with this Board nowadays...The quality of individual Poster has dropped so dramatically around here over the past 10 years it's not even funny anymore...

Well to be fair Simon I'm sure you and NGU have better inside info than the rest of us, but they asked Buddy straight out had Dareus gone at #2 would QB have been a bigger part of the conversation at #3...Buddy said "yes"...Gabbert? Again Buddy says "yes." So that's all we have to go by from the outside looking in...

I'm REALLY hoping for Rudolph at #34...I think getting the #1 Overall Player (on a lot of Boards) in this Draft in Dareus, then following it up with the #1 TE in the Draft would be an absolute best case scenario in Rounds 1 and 2...But if they took one of the QB's I would not be overly disappointed...I wonder how much Chan is intrigued by Kaepernick's upside...I'd be MUCH more comfortable Drafting him in the 3rd Rd...But lets face it, the way the QB's came off the Board in Rd #1, the chance of CK being there at the top of the 3rd is slim and none... So anyway...I'm hoping for Rudolph...

Talk about oxymoron...

I was SO close to getting what I wanted... Seriously though I'm SO thrilled with the Dareus Pick...I just never imagined he would fall to #3...

Honestly I can't believe they're likely going to end up with Dareus...I never thought this would happen, and even though I'm a Gabbert Guy I would be THRILLED with Dareus...Is The Bills luck finally turning around for this guy to fall to #3 Overall?

Agreed...

Right because it will be easy to get Luck...Or Landry and Barkley IF they come out... I can promise you there is no such thing as an NFL GM or HC who think that way at all...They're not worried about next years Draft...

Could not possibly agree more!

I completely disagree with that statement...It's really ridiculous seeing as though everyone and their Mother knows there is only one, and can be only one, Peyton Manning...Anyone who compares a College QB coming out to Manning is pretty dumb...Secondly it's the Ryan Leaf's and Jamarcus Russell's of the world that keep Teams like the Bills hoping a QB with career 12-23 record as a Starter and 73 Career QB Rating can be something more than servicable so they don't HAVE to take a kid like Gabbert who has every single box checked when your looking purely (and admittedly) at potential for the QB position in the NFL...If it were not for the Leaf's, Russell's, Harringtons, etc I can promise you 100% that Gabbert would be the pick tonight...Everyone knows the bust rate is great...It's not about conventional wisdom or wishful thinking...It's about the fact that every Team knows it's a QB's league and if you find the right one to build around you're going to be good for a long time...There is no question about that fact, and THAT is why Teams continue to reach...The risk may be great, but if you get it right, the reward is FAR greater...

As what? A WR (not that I would Draft him as a WR either)? Because any Team that takes him as a QB in the 2nd Round is insane...He's 6-1 and a 56% Passer in The ACC...I'd projectile vomit if the Bills Drafted him at #34 Overall...It would be like the Bills version of Pat White...

I watched that whole sequence twice...Here's how it went... The Reporter (who I've never seen before on NFL Network and BELIEVE me when I tell you that means something because My TV is on NFL Network 90% of the time it is on and I NEVER, ever, ever, miss Total Access) said it looked like Miller could be gone, and IF so The Bills would be looking at Dareus and Peterson...Then he went on to speculate that Peterson would be the Pick because of what he could do for the Defense...It was complete speculation...Then they throw it back to the the Studio and I think Lombardi even says something like "I did not have Peterson on The Bills radar but sure that would be a good Pick" and so on...There was ZERO inside information behind that conversation...Not that Peterson won't be considered by The Bills because I'm sure he will...But there was not even really a rumor from what I could tell...I could be wrong though...But it seemed like it was a reporters speculation based on what HE thought the Bills Defensive Needs were...

Totally agree... Should the Bills take Green it would be Spiller 2.0...Green has incredible potential...He's a heck of a good Prospect...But...And Folks this is a MASSIVE but...Johnson, Evans, Parrish, Nelson, Jones, Roosevelt, Easley, etc. at WR...At QB it's Fitz and enter crickets sound effect...At DL it's Kyle Williams, Troupe and Carrington are 2nd year Players who made almost zero impact as Rookies, and enter cricket sound effects...At LB you have Poz (maybe), Merriman coming off another injury, Maybin , Moats, and enter crickets sound effect...And PLEASE don't tell me it's OK to Draft Green because you're going to get rid of Lee Evans...It would be the same old garbage...Draft a Player high where you at least have some depth and get rid of a serviceable Player...In the meantime you STILL don't have a QB of the future, you STILL can't stop the Run, you STILL need a RT, you STILL need more Pass Rush, you still need another LB...Etc, etc, etc... It would be the same old-same old for The Bills to be honest...I would not be surprised at all...Draft the flash and forget about the rest...
