OCinBuffalo Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 This article describes just how messy this draft already is, and clearly points out the amount of flat out LYING going on. Agents, lying. GMs, lying. Everybody, lying. Now, this is a member of an actual news organization, who gets paid for doing that job, not by banner ads, telling you they are lying. Hopefully this will curtail the "But..but..but...I heard it on twitter" people = No. BAD. Read the article again, then remember how many times Mario Williams "left Buffalo", before you argue/post. You take this, along with the mass chaos that Barron is causing in terms of screwing up everybody's board.... ....and this is more than enough evidence to show that anything less than a direct quote from another GM, confirmed by Buddy Nix/Doug Whaley, regarding what the Bills could do/did/could have done, is most likely utter horseshit.

Lurker Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 How about these gems, since they involve players that the Bills are known to like: Posted April 22, 2012 @ 10:16 a.m. ET By Nolan Nawrocki The following quotes are from NFL executives, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on the condition of anonymity. • “(South Carolina CB Stephon) Gilmore is a second-round corner who is going to go a lot higher than he should because he has what everyone is looking for in the way of height-weight-speed and his character is clean.” • “If (Stanford OLT) Jonathan Martin goes in the top 20, it is a crime. He is (very soft). He should go in the third (round).” • “(Stanford OG David) DeCastro is overrated. On tape, he is a good guard, but he is not special by any means. You love the kid, you love the work ethic, you love the makeup. But in a normal draft, you’d like to get him in the second.” • “I wish (LSU CB) Morris Claiborne tested better athletically. He needs to get stronger. His body is still really young. He timed better at his pro day than he did at the Combine, but his jumps were average. I thought he would be more explosive.” • “(Arizona CB Trevin) Wade has been heating up, but I still don’t know why. It’s a big ‘wow.’ He’s just a guy to me.” • “I think the issues (he has) should keep (Amini) Silatolu out of the first, but I know a lot of offensive line coaches that are really jacked about getting him in the first. It takes some balls to take him in the first, but he will be a very hot guy if he makes it into the second (round).” • “If the Vikings do not take (Matt Kalil), I think they are nuts. He will play 10 years in the league and be very good. I don’t think everyone is on the same page in the building yet. If you trade back, you run the risk of missing out on the guy you want.” • “I would be scared more by Morris Claiborne’s low test score if he were a receiver. Cornerback is such an instinctive, read-and-react position. There are a lot of defenses where it’s basically going to be — you got (No.) 82 — go cover him. The test score does not matter. I think the league is getting smarter. To be elite, you need to be smart, but I’m not sure that has not always been the case.” • “It seems everyone wants to beat up on (Alabama CB Dre) Kirkpatrick, but he can play. So, too, though could the other 10 guys (on Alabama's defense). What Nick Saban is doing there is not fair for college football. There is some serious talent on that defense.” • “When was the last time (Georgia OT) Cordy Glenn hit anyone? He has to get a lot tougher. I thought he was a finesse guy, and it’s (difficult) to cut it as a finesse guy in the league anymore.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week or 2 ago I posted his info in another thread. Of all the info out there, I do trust what he has to say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
