All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Yes it's possible but will it happen for the 3rd time in 4 years?

Will the Bills use two first round picks in the 2007 draft?
If so, it would take a 2nd and 3rd round pick to move back up to the 1st. Does anyone know if the point totals from our second and third equal a late first round pick?
Who should they take? Patrick Willis at #12 and a stud DT with the second first round pick would be nice. Maybe Marcus Thomas DT from Florida.
Where else would you rather be than right here right now?

It would take more then that. Look at the vaule chart. I think the Pats are the only team with two first round picks, you'd have to give up a player aswell.

Not necessarily if they trade their pick for two 1st round picks with a playoff team who loses a tagged player and gets pick in compensation. Remember the year the Jets had 4 1st round picks?

Like I said, the Pats are the only team (I believe) with 2 first round picks. You could trade a futre pick, but it's unlikely. The Pats pick from Seattle will probably be in the 24 to 26 range and their own pick could be near the same or lower depending on how far they go in the playoffs, I think Seattle loses this week, so I think they're draft position is set. The Pats won't win the SB this year...IMO so they will probably finish 27 or 28th. I don't have the value Chart but the value drops quickly, especailly once you step out of the first round. You also have to consider the strength of the Draft year and what will be avalible in the 2nd and 3rd rounds to determine the value of those picks, plus the fact of where the Bills are drafting (12) if the Bills were in the 3 or 4 range your 2nd and 3rd round pick become much more valuable...obviously. You also have to find a team that's good enough to be willing to trade away their first round pick. I honestly don't think the Pats will want to help make the Bills get better. IMO you'll need to add a player to pull that trade.

Obviously we don't need a RB, besides Willis is a very good back he wasn't the Bills problem this year, you need an Oline.
Well after our bye week, our O-line played pretty damn well, and as the offense as a whole got better, JP got better, the receiver's got better, but Willis, nope. He didn't get better at all. we averaged over 23 points per game after the bye and he didn't have a whole lot to do with that.

Ya know I keep hearing you Bill fasns talk about this improvement, but it isn't reflected in your stats, If your Oline was "pretty damn good" why didn't Willis have better numbers?? Are gonna say Willis lost his ability the second half of the season?? I don't think Willis was the Bills problem. The Bills were 3-5 the first half of the season and 4-4 the second half of the season and losing your last two, thats a one game improvement, not exactly a big difference,

Isn't that what we did last year to get back into the first round? Trade our 2 and 3 for a late first round pick?

If someone has the point totals according to draft position they will be able to answer this question...
What could Buffalo get in return if we just switched positions with Denver in the draft? Would it be worth just a third round pick from Denver to us to give them our 12th spot for their 21st or would it be more like a second round pick for the swap?

Oh, so you watched all of our games this year? Willis never had any "ability" this year at all. While he wasn't the only problem, he certainly didn't help our team very much this year.

Last years draft was very deep, this years draft looks more like 2005, except there is more talent at the QB position coming out. It's gonna be tough to find equal value in the mid 2nd and 3rd round that will equal a late first. I just don't see it this year. It's always possible the teams drafting late may not see a player on the board that excites them and they may be willing to give up their spot, I just don't see much better in the 3nd and 3rd round worthy of the trade. JMO.
