gonzo1105 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 I guess my question would be why isn't he actually posting this? Why is some 2nd hander doing it? No offense. If this is our top 5 board then yuck lol
BuffaloRebound Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Not buying any of this. Seems like McDermott alone is making selection and Bills have pretty much been leak proof since he took over.

BillsFan17 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Ok cool lets see what happensI'm not trying to discredit anyone, but we are picking in the top ten. Not overly hard to make a list based on the specs rankings and potential landing spots. Fill in who we might need and you got it covered. From what I understand Leroi has a lot of clout. Again, I have asked about Leroi in the past and got conformation, but to say a list of five players can't be thought up of by anyone else isn't really logical.
gonzo1105 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 He posted it in the draft prospects thread Ah got ya. I can see Thomas, I can see Howard, I can't see Davis or Ross at 10. Maybe after a trade down but no way at 10. Lattimore wont be there so no worries

I like what you did- a little skin in the game is good. He has been wrong too, like EJ is going to be cut tomorrow about 2 years ago. 1 Howard 1A Davis 1B Williams 4 Foster 5 Reddick I don't think the others fall to us
Kirby Jackson Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Now all the other GMs know our board! Good going!I think that it's strange that he shares this stuff but I'm glad that he does. There are some other good insiders on here but rarely is the intel exchanged on the main board for fear of getting their sources in trouble. There are people on this board that are WAY more plugged in than the national media. The local guys get some info (specifically JW and TG) but they don't necessarily get it before people here. They are also required to confirm and verify before printing. They have to protect that info as well in many cases. Leroi gets the draft board, gives the position and a few days later releases the names. The information isn't nearly as secretive as people think either. There are A LOT of people in that building (at least 50) that know the board. Anyone that they mention it to can mention to someone else and so on. To knock like the board is one thing but to not believe it off base. Edited April 27, 2017 by Kirby Jackson
leonbus23 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Who the !@#$ is Leroi? Leroi Jones aka Amiri Baraka. Poet and all around genius. Edited April 27, 2017 by leonbus23
jeffismagic Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 That is one horrible top 5 What did you expect, excellence?
BuffaloRebound Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 If I'm McDermott, I draft off Mayocks top 100 list and adjust it for medical info. Why would you listen to a bunch of people you're gonna fire and have a horrible track record?
BillnutinHouston Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Not doubting Leroi's past contributions but it's hard to believe the new and improved, more leak resistant Bills org lets Leroi divulge the board, or doesn't know he's doing so. And that Leroi is close enough to know, but disloyal enough to share publicly. Sorry L. but I'm not buying it.
wilcoam Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 We'll know in about 24 hrs if Leroi is right or wrong I still think we are taking one of Foster or Reddick at #10 if we stay there And then the best WR or CB in the 2nd round jc
CommonCents Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 you can doubt Leroi at your own peril, if you look at that board isn't that Billsy enough to make you believe? Not even a QB in sight
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Solomon Thomas sounds about right. It would be a cute and stupid Bills type draft pick.
Coach Tuesday Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Solomon Thomas sounds about right. It would be a cute and stupid Bills type draft pick. Aaron Donald 2.0. Nothing "stupid" about it.
BillsFan17 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Solomon Thomas sounds about right. It would be a cute and stupid Bills type draft pick.What exactly is stupid and or cute about adding a player of Thomas caliber?
jeffismagic Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 you can doubt Leroi at your own peril, if you look at that board isn't that Billsy enough to make you believe? Not even a QB in sight Bills avoid QB's as if they might have leprosy. It's how they roll. Got to get to 20 years with no playoffs!
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Solomon Thomas sounds about right. It would be a cute and stupid Bills type draft pick. Have you ever even seen Thomas play? He can wreck an offense!
