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!

This years QB class is downright horrible. If Trent were in this year's draft I'm sure he would be the number one canidate. Think about that. We are paying Trent as a 3rd rounder who could have received top 10 money this year.
I hated the pick last year and now I think it's the best one that Marv made as GM.
I still think taking Lynch despite his reported "character flaws" was his best move.
Once Poz gets healthy and plays.. the 2007 class will go down as one of, if not the best in Bills history. I think its THAT good just with those three guys.

I'm not sold on Poz but I did like the Marshawyn pick and the fact that the Bills made the right pick at the right time.
I'm amazed that everyone is so sold on Edwards. He's achieved, exactly what?
If he'd been in this years draft he'd been in the same catergory as Henne, Ainge, and Flacco. A decent college player with flaws to his game. He had a huge losing record at Stamford and at the Bills all he's been asked to do is not lose games. Only when he actually win games can we say we've got a bargain. There were reasons other QBs got drafted ahead of him.
Certainly Ryan, Brohm and Woodson would have higher grades. At the moment he is in the QB seat BUT he still has to prove himself. If he is given weapons that Losman never had (a TE, a No2 WR) and fails then QB should be high up there on the list of requirements come Draft Day 2009.
Lets not call him the saviour until he proves that he is.
Posluzny is the best pick from last year - a leader in the Chris Spielman mode. Mashawn has done well, but it doesn't seem that difficult for a starting RB to get loads of yardage (Ryan Grant?) so only after seeing this achieved year in, year out can he be properly considered.
The Bills have been so deprived of recent talent, that we over emphasise the ability of good, but not yet great players.

Great post, man! Except for the Marshawn Lynch stuff. I believe that he is the real deal and will be the back we have been missing since Thurman Thomas left.

I agree with most of this, but how can you possibly say Poz was the best pic from last year when he only played three games? You are saying it's impossible to tell how good a pick is until he does it year in year out, but Poz only played three (3) games.

You just saved me the typing.
People want to ignore the fact that as a rookie Trent played extremely well.
Is there a QB pick in this year's draft that you would honestly trade Trent for?
I would trade Trent Edwards for Brian Grohm or Andre Woodson ... both coming from winning college records (when playing) and losing is a state of mind which becomes a barrier, no matter what excuses are presented.
The Cardinals have a 10-20 record when Edwards started and personally I'd trade or draft a QB with a WINNING record any day.
Statistically Edwards had a worse record than Losman in personal performance ratings last season and if we don't want JP starting .....
This thread is a big stretch until TE gets more time in. He did play very well for a rookie with a invalid OC but the final determination as Marv's best pick is going to take many more years.
If Trent Edwads is Mavr's best pick then Marv goes down as one of theworst GM's EVER. Trent would be at best the 4th rank QB in this draft in my opinion! I would put him behind:
Matt Ryan
Brian Brohm
Chad Heeene
JD Booty
I think when all is said and done T. Edwards will be compared to AlexVan Pelt. BTW this isn't an endorsement for JP cause I like he is done in Buffalo, I just don't believe Edwards is that good!

You would take Trent Edwrads over an unproven Grian Brohm? There isn't a GM in the league that wouldn't take Edwards over any of these guys.

I see where you're coming from but let him do something on the field before you start singing his praises.
I hated the pick when it was made too, but last year it worked out much better than I expected. Yet, Edwards still has a lot to prove before saying it was Marv's best pick. Lynch and Poz look pretty good too, McCargo could go either way, etc.
