Sure, why not. If we can't get Tebow then by all means drag another bad QB onto our roster.

Okay so i've done a lot of thinking. looked at a ton of mock drafts, gone mad, and think i'm ready to give a couple picks i think would be dynamite for the bills in this years draft.

My philosophies are to build a competent line so any QB can play there and be decent.

First we draft 9th overall. lets face it most of the best tackles are going to be off the table by then and there are franchise QBs next year's draft. All this is leading to me thinking we should look to trade out of the 9th spot. San Fran has two picks in the first round this year i would like to target either both of those or obtain on of them and a pair of seconds. If we land two first round picks i'm looking at CJ Spiller and Mike Iupata. Iupata is a guard but can also play tackle. Levitre was a tackle and could move to tackle if needed. Sure the line is young but it is a step in the right direction. Spiller well he's being compared to chris johnson, need i say any more. We already have a RB on the outs in lynch.

In the second round i'm looking Defensive line. In particular a real NT for our new defensive system. I'm much higher on Cam Thomas than i am on cody, as well it is unlikely Cody will make it out of the first round. Though i could consider going Linebacker here at which point i'm looking at Brandon Spikes ILB (I'm also interested in Ryan D' Imperio ILB 7th round) or Eric Norwood OLB, as their is a potential NT in Torell troup who could fall to the third or fourth round or Kade Weston in the 5th or 6th round. I'm also interested in tyson Aluala a DT, possibly a high third.

I'm looking at leaders, good football sense, some skills, and some fire in the belly. It's hard with many holes to fill, and not actually seeing these kids play. I haven't really considered CB's as we have a solid group though i'd consider trading Reggie Corner, and giving lankster a shot. though i'd consder Syd' Quan Thompson.

if one of the top OT's is available i'm going after them, especially if it is okung Miami built line first, St. Louis did that last year which is why i was looking at Iupata, but i would consider Chris Scott in the later rounds. as he has some upside or Jared Veldheer.

Tight End. I think we have a good tight end in nelson but i would not mind seeing Gronkowski, or Pitta to be the other side. Both played with terribly inaccurate Qb's but made the adjustment and can catch and block. thats the biggest hit on nelson, the blocking, outside his injured status. okay i realize i just throw prospects out there.

I'm fine with adding him to the shit list of QB's(no signing bonus). They will probably all be terds though. This kinda makes me billieve they're gonna draft a guy. I think I'd prefer a rookie. If the line is going to be ineffective, that may be a good time to train a rook who's smart. No one is going to be good behind a swiss cheese line. May as well try to meld them as one in a couple years. Wood's recovery is going to be important. When I saw his injury I was thinking maybe career. If not this guy must have had ligaments of steel which held while the bones broke. Very unlikely.

I'm not too awful impressed with any QB in this years draft, if we take anyone I'd like it to be Tebow (fan craze like Owens) or McCoy, a super efficient passer who I think would do well in our dump and run passing offense.

with the Bills likely hood to be in the bottom three next year, i would say wait on the QB, with no real QB developer on the team, and go after a Locker- washington, or Keenum-houston.

There will be no QB developer on the team. Maybe Delhomme didn't want that role. Maybe some QB's don't need to be "developed"? It is possible you just get a lucky hit. Worst case scenario? The guy is useless, and you try again next year(unlike we did with Losman/Edwards. We Billieved they COULD be 'developed'. Draft one, give him a shot. If he fails, then open competition the following year with another. By the end of that year, have your guy.

If we draft Locker next season, dibs on punching him in the face for not declaring elligible for this season.

Bills sign WR Jackson
Chris Brown, Lead Journalist
Posted 1 hour ago

Knowing their numbers were low at the receiver position, the Bills made one player signing at the position earlier this week and followed up two days later with another. Buffalo signed free agent Chad Jackson Wednesday.

"The Bills had been looking at me for a while and I had the opportunity to come up and get a workout in and they obviously liked what they saw," Jackson told Buffalobills.com.

Jackson is excited about the chance to work with head coach Chan Gailey knowing he'll be running the offense.

"I've heard a lot about coach Gailey and the things he can do on the offensive side of the ball," said Jackson. "I'm looking forward to working with him. He's the type of guy that if you can make plays he's going to get you the ball."

The wideout is a former second-round pick of the New England Patriots (2006) where he spent his first two NFL seasons. Jackson was used sparingly as a young player with New England recording 13 receptions for 152 yards and three touchdowns.

He signed with the Denver Broncos in 2008 appearing in four games. Jackson (6’1” 215) made the Broncos opening day roster last season, but was released two days later.

"I've got a lot of speed to me and a lot of size to me and I can make plays in the open field," said Jackson. "I can make a lot of things happen."

The receiver had a productive college career at the University of Florida. His last season for the Gators he set the school record for receptions in a season with 88.

Jackson becomes the sixth member of Buffalo’s receiving corps after Felton Huggins signed with the club on Monday. And though he's one of the few wideouts on the roster with three or more years of NFL experience he's taking nothing for granted.

"I've got a good opportunity ahead of me signing with this organization, but I have to prove myself to the coaches and coach Gailey," said Jackson. "Once I do that I think everything will work out real well."

deal as long as you don't injure him, as the Bills need a franchise QB.

You guys have needed a franchise quarterback since Kelly left, who says Locker would even end up being a franchise QB?

Trade Down, offer the 9th overall to Tampa for their two 2nd rounders and a 5th rounder.
Dump Lynch for a 2nd rounder as well if possible. If not, take a 3rd rounder for him.
Dump Whitner for a 2nd rounder for sure.

Clear the crap off of this roster and draft for depth on the O-line, D-Line and LB core.
Should go 3-13 to 5-10 with a pick in the top 6 or so. Combine that with another trade (Mitchel, if he performs well enough, or Kelsay or Dennis).

Grag as many picks for this and next draft as possible, 2011 Draft pick your franchise QB, class should have better choices than this years crop. Also dig in with a WR, Add more depth to the D.

If all goes well, you have a young, contending team by 2013-2014.

locker college stats

Washington is not exactly one of those teams that screams football school. Not quite a USC, or Ohio State.

The Same could be said of Houston with Keenum
http://www.uhcougars.com/sports/m-footb ... ase00.html

but both players can boast changing the status quo at these two schools. I believe houston built around Keenum.

i will say it is possible that his senior year could go that of Bradford's though bradford is still a potentials number one pick.

They are saying the QB class is very thin. they say Bradford is the only one worth a first round pick but there is a enough of a need for QB's that Tebow (leadership, winning record), Clausen, and McCoy will all fall before the third.

Hall of Famer Kelly impressed with Tebow
Posted: April 3rd, 2010 | Vic Carucci | Tags: Buffalo Bills, Jim Kelly, Tim Tebow

After a recent dinner with Tim Tebow, former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly said he’d be comfortable recommending to the Bills’ decision-makers that they take the ex-Florida Gator with their second-round pick (41st overall).

However, Kelly, who is under contract with the Bills as an official ambassador, said he could not advise them to use their first-round choice (No. 9 overall) until after he has had an opportunity to watch Tebow go through a workout in person. He added that, so far, the club has no plans to ask him to do so.

“Just because I’m a former quarterback, people think I can just tell from being around a guy (if he has what it takes to be a successful NFL quarterback),” Kelly said. “But I need to watch him go through a drill and make all the throws. I need to really study him before I could say whether he should be a first-round pick. Now, a second-rounder, I’d be OK with that, but I don’t have enough information on (Tebow) to say they should use the No. 9 pick on him.

“Maybe they could also trade down, if someone wants that No. 9 pick, and get him with a lower pick in the first round.”

Kelly came away from the dinner impressed with Tebow as a person, describing him as a respectful, “yes-sir-no-sir kind of guy.” He also took note of the fact that Tebow had good size and “looks like he can take a hit.”

okay so i've had some more time to look stuff up and think.

I'm now a proponent of trading back from 9 if we are unable to land a quality OT. I'd say trade back to pick up C.J. Spiller. first round. i don't think clausen will fall to buffalo, and i doubt the OT's will. Davis is not a top ten pick, a top ten talent yes but not a top ten pick. Okung or trent Williams if one falls to us take him.

Second round i'm assuming we now have two picks. Roger Saffold OT indiana and Tyson Aluala D. we are going to have to hope Saffold falls. if not we will have potentially two of one round that we could trade up.

third round: Here is where i land my Quarter back Dan Lefevour Central Michigan (a sleeper in this years draft), and if we have two picks here. I'm taking a NT. Torrell Troupe. if not i'm hoping to take troup in the 4th round.

http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000 ... nfirm=true

watch the video yourself. Jimmy Johnson said once you don't always need to find a QB in the first round. As much as i hate him he's right.

Draft tonight. All the mocks are in, tonight is the night. Please God no tebow first round. Will they be a trade up will they trade down. will the pick another bust at 9, tonight all will be revealed.

KC is rumoured to be looking to trade out of #5
Eagles looking to trade up
Pitt looking to trade up.
Dolphin's considering trading out.

MY Board.

First round:
Dan Williams NT, Rolando McClain ILB, Sergio Kindle OLB, OT - Bulaga, Williams, Okung (trade up), mike iupati, Sean Weatherspoon OLB, Derek Morgan DE. C.J. Spiller RB, Jermaine Gresham TE

second round:
Tony Pike QB, Cam thomas DT, Tyson Aluala DT, Eric Decker WR, Rodger Saffold - OT
Jerry Hughes OLB, Rob Gronkowski TE. Terrance Cody DT. Koa Misi OLB.

Third round:

John Crompton QB, Dan Lefevour QB, Jordan Shipley WR. Toby Gerhart RB, Dennis Pitta TE. Torrell Troup DT, Brandon LaFell WR.

Who know's what will happen. I could be wrong on Tebow but i can't see him developing correctly here in buffalo, and i think we need a now guy not down the line, and i am high on Jake Locker next year, but it's hard to predict a year away.

Bills draft C.J. Spiller (RB) in the first round.

What the fuck

Tags: 2010 NFL Draft, C.J. Spiller
Here are some notes on C.J. Spiller courtesy of NFLDraftScout.com.

A dynamic athlete with blazing speed. Has drawn praise, often being compared to New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush for his big play ability.

He returned eight kicks (seven kickoffs and one punt) for touchdowns, tying an NCAA all-time record.

Was one of just two players in Clemson to account for a score in five different ways (touchdown pass, rush, reception, punt and kickoff returns) His scoring ability in 2009 was second to none, as he was the only NCAA Division I player to register a touchdown in every single game.

He is the ACC’s active scoring leader (with 308 points). The milestone made him the 16th player in conference history to do so. In his career, he had 21 touchdowns of 50 yards or more.

Along with Reggie Bush (USC), Spiller amassed 3,000 rushing yards, 1,500 kick return yards, 1,000 receiving yards and 500 punt return yards. The two are the only in college football history to do so.

with bulaga on the board i was surprised. but i'm guessing lynch will be traded. cause this kid is not a 3rd back.

but fear strikes me. will the bills look to trade back up and land a QB. or OT.
