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

We could actually be in a perfect spot in the draft
We could actually be in a perfect spot in the draft
I might be wrong but don't we have one of the top 5 picks in round to or is that 3? If so we can grab a Defensive player in the 1st and Malcolm Kelly could be sitting there early in round 1.

But I think I'm wrong
Are you trying to say round two and not something really confusing? Never mind, the whole post is pretty confusing.

We are picking 10th in round 2 and we have the 8th and 9th picks in round 3
Malcolm Kelly is going to have to do something special in the senior bowl and the combine to convince me he is a first rounder. I think what is happening here is that the WR class this year is very mediocre and Kelly is one of the best.
Bowman could be just as good or better and Sweed can be better than both,,, theres no clear cut #1 so far. IMO they should wait till the second round and see who is left. There should be a player that is not far from Kelly.
Re: We could actually be in a perfect spot in the draft
Depending on FA and I know alot of you guys will disagree with me, but I say we take a CB at #12. I really think we need a big physical CB that we can match up one on one with the opposing teams top WR. I like that kid out of Ohio St., Jenkins - he has the size and speed to match up with any WR in the NFL, plus rookie CB's seem to be able to step in from day #1 and make an impact! We dont need a WR that takes 2-3 years to fully get a grasp of the pro game, we need an impact player @ pick #12 and those are CB and LB IMO.

Assuming we take care of things in FA I wouldnt mind taking Jenkins but here is the problem with that.
McGee is our #1 corner and he is usually covering the best receiver on the field. By taking Jenkins we would essentially be saying that we are not happy with McGee. As it is right now Greer is good enough to cover most #2s in the league so I dont see the benefit in taking Jenkins and slotting him into Greer's spot. If Jenkins is taken then that means he is coming to replace McGee and bumping Greer out of the line-up.
The other thing is that in the Cover 2 you really dont need to take a corner high. Our Cbs rarely play man to man so teaching a corner to play in the C2 is wiser than wasting a 1st rounder on one.
Re: We could actually be in a perfect spot in the draft
Ideally, we trade down, grab a downfield TE in the mid-late first, then trade back up to late 1st or early 2nd and grab one of those WRs at a more appropriate position.
Re: We could actually be in a perfect spot in the draft
While I think one of Buffalo's biggest needs is a big physical receiver, I am concerned that 11 overall makes any one of the big guys (Kelly, Bowman, Hardy, Sweed) a reach, mean you end up overpaying the guy if you draft him there. If I were the Bills GM, I would at least make attempt to trade down, and if unable to do that, I might pick a player at another position who is higher on my draft board, and pick the guy that's left out of that group of 4 big receivers in the second round. I hink there's a good chance one of them will still be there in round two.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
Re: We could actually be in a perfect spot in the draft
There is always some great talent available at #11. If it is not in a position of need then I agree we trade down. #11 is a great trading spot. High enough where there is great talent and low enough to not make ask for the farm so easlier to find a dance partner.

Thats all bs! If a Tampa2 teams dont need to take a CB high then how do you explain the Colts spending a 1st and 2nd rd pick in 2005 on CB's(Marlin Jackson & Tim Jennings) and spending a 2nd on a CB in 2005? Tony Dungy is the man who invented the Tampa2 so why is it that he took a CB high 2 years in a row? You do know that teams that play the Tampa2 dont play cover2 all the time right? If a good man2man CB isn't needed in a Tampa2 then why did we franchise Clements in 2006? We could've used that 7 million dollars and signed 2-3 CBs in 2006 to play zone!
Re: We could actually be in a perfect spot in the draft
The Bills are going defense first, aware they can pick up a decent receiver in round two. I believe a quality linebacker will be available early.
As an indication of how the Bills have fooled us the last couple of years, though, it will probably be an offensive guard of some mysterious, hitherto unknown, outstanding quality.

In theory, CBs are not as needed in the Tampa 2. The safetys + OLBs are more important. In theory.
Re: We could actually be in a perfect spot in the draft
i want a wr with our first pick, whether we trade down or whatever will remain to be seen. what if one of those top 3 WRs comes to the combine and runs a 4.25 or something crazy and shoots up the boards? A lot of stuff is gonna happen before the draft.
Re: We could actually be in a perfect spot in the draft
I'd like to see a WR and DT with our first 2 picks, and TE and DE in round 3. I just don't see the need for an OLB to be taken early, with Poz coming back to the middle and DiGiorgio being a candidate to compete with Ellison on the outside.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
