    Tory James would make a good candidate to play a year or two while we develop younger CB's and shouldn't be too expensive.

    Can we grab Steinbach?

    How about this line next year?

    Peters-Steinbach-Fowler-Gandy-Levi Jones

    That would be an extremely athletic O-line!

      Thanks for the info. On Brady Quinn: is he really that good? I don't watch much college football, so I don't know if he's just another overrated good ol' boy, or a QB with a load of talent.

          I think the Irish as a whole are overrated, but Quinn looks like the real deal to me. Having Weis tutor him has helped him enormously, especially with decision-making. Their defense gets shredded every week, yet he keeps them in games and wins more often than not. I see him as the definite #1 pick, unless JaMarcus Russell performs amazing in pre-draft workouts.

            I can't see Quinn making it past both Oakland and Detroit.

              Away: Browns, Dolphins, Eagles, Jets, Patriots, Redskins, Steelers, Jaguars
              Two points:

              1) If Ralph is really aopolgetic about the product that he has put on the field than there is no reason that Steinback doesn't end up in a Bills uni. If he doesn't than I'm over Ralph as an owner of the Bills.

              2) Nice schedule. With the exception of the Skins and Browns every team is either in the playoffs or missed them by a game. GEEZ.

                  Steinbach's going to command bigger dollars than the Bills are going to be willing to spend, IMO. We may bid for appearance sake, but we'll lose out because of a lower number.

                      Wow, that's the best OL setup I've seen yet. That would rock.

                          Levi Jones?? He's a FA?

                          Tory James is my top candidate to replace Nate if he leaves.
