    We don't need much to improve...check this!

    Some of the Zoners have been crying the blues about Ralph needing to pony up and tap into the Federal Reserve to pick up big name FA's. Between the draft and a few solid FA's we can do some damage as far as improving enough to get up to playoff caliber ball.

    A few scenarios....

    FA pickups- Ian Scott DT, Nick Harper CB, Derrick Dockery G, Daniel Graham TE & Jordan Black OT.

    Draft- Patrick Willis ILB Round 1, Jason Hill WR Round 2, Aaron Ross CB Round 3, Doug Free OT Round 4, Samson Satele G Round 5, Jason Snelling FB Round 6.

    Of course a few things have to fall into place for this to happen, but you can see that we don't have to be the Washington Deadskins of the league to make some waves. This would be a solid off season.

    Defense
    LE-Kelsay/Denney
    DT-Triplett/McCargo
    DT-Scott/Williams
    RE-Schoebel/Hargrove
    WLB-TKO/Ellison
    ILB-Willis/DiGiorgio
    SLB-Crowell/Stamer
    CB-McGee/Greer/Ross
    CB-Harper/Youboty
    SS-Whitner/Bowen
    FS-Simpson/Leonard

    KR-McGee
    PR-Ross (Solid special teamer in college)

    Offense
    QB-JP/KH
    RB-Willis/A-Train
    FB-Shelton/Snelling
    WR-Evans/Hill
    WR-Price/Reed
    TE-Royal/Graham
    C-Fowler/Preston
    G-Gandy/Merz
    LT-Peters/Black
    G-Dockery/Preston
    RT-Pennington/Free

    So throw a wrench into the works and Willis is a dink and the Bills buonce him for a draft pick...

    FA- Scott, Harper, Dockery, Graham, Black & Kevin Curtis WR Rams.

    Draft-Marshawn Lynch RB Round 1, David Harris ILB Round 2, A. Ross CB Round 3, Doug Free OT Round 4, Samson Satele OG Round 5, Jason Snelling FB Round 6.

    Either way I don't see Ralph and Marv spending big bucks on Briggs, June, Steinbach, whomever. I think that we can get it done and still be somewhat conservative.

    Any thoughts?
    Where else would you rather be than right here right now?

    I can agree fro the most part. I'd go about drafting a little differently, aned I think the Bills will step in a different direction as far as signing free agents. As I've said before, the Bills are just not in the hunt for top tier FAs. They will continue to court 2nd tier players and fill in using the draft.

      That could work, but I would love to have Lance Briggs on the outside and move Crowell inside. Draft eslewhere.
