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!
With No41, No66 and No71, we can pick up decent TE, CB to develop and another guy who could be a WR, or a DT to start alongside Stroud, or a OL depth etc
People seem to forget that the key to this draft is its remarkable depth. There will be Day1 starters and a lot of them drafted in R4.
I like it. I'm sort of an advocate of the extreme, which is drafting 2 WRs and a TE with our first three picks.
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?
I doubt it happens but I would love the influx of WR weapons.
I'm not as high on Hardy as I am on Thomas, Kelly or Sweed, but I really like Nelson, and would take a Hardy/Nelson combo in a heartbeat.

Why waste 2 1st round picks on a horrible WR class? All I see is a bunch of #2's at best..
That is arguable, but honestly I kind of agree.. as much as I would love a 2-fer on the WR front, I know it won't happen, and probably shouldn't.. but I'm desperate for some exciting offensive football that Buffalo hasn't seen since Bledsoes 1st 1/2 of his 1st season here, and before that the SB years of Jimbo and Co.
WIth rookie WR's I believe Thomas will develope, and I believe Hardy is exactly what you want as a compliment to Evans. Any WR coming out of college who scores and average of more then 1 TD per game should be on everyones board early. Especially the Bills whose red zone pathetic has been piss poor for way too long.
With Jordy Nelsons 122 catches last year and consistent college performance and dedication should not and will not be ignored. He will climb up in to the early part of rd#2 IMO. He may only be a #2 WR in this league, but he is defintiely the kind of player you want and will have a long solid NFL career. Heck I believe Jordy will be a fan favorite where ever he goes.
but all that being said I always find positives with our draft except for the TD's last draft in which I scratched my head for a long time afterwards.

That's where I'm coming from, too. I'm sick of driving 12 hours to every home game to watch Lindell kick field goals.
I'm friggin' desperate for offense.

I'll tell you what- if Evans isn't going to resign I wish we knew that. Dallas would give us their 22nd pick for him right now I bet- they've been sniffing around for Boldin and Roy Williams and Jerry Jones won't mind opeing the checkbook to pay Evans a big extension. I'd rather keep him but if he's going to walk we'll end up with nothing.
I understand and repsect your sentiments Jan. But drafting 2 WR's is not the answer, imo.
Get a WR and TE (I love Bennett, btw) and let them do their thing especially in the redzone.
I know, but an old guy can dream, can't he?

Just a rumor floating around out there - but I have heard that the Bills will only stay at #11 if Leodis McKelvin is there, which is highly unlikely given how his stock has soared in recent weeks.
There is also a rumor that we are indeed in talks with KC to swap picks with JP Losman included in deal. So our 1st (#11) and Loserman for their 1st (#17) and a 2nd round pick - it'd be nice if we could get them to throw in Tony Gonzalez as well.
