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

What if we moved down and our first three picks were...
Re: What if we moved down and our first three picks were...
Why are we drafting in the low first round? I thought we were drafting at 11? Barwin would be nice in the 2nd but if we were going to reach for a player in the 1st round, I would rather that it be a guy like Percy Harvin outta Florida instead of taking a TE.

Walter football doesn't have any more credibility than anybody else, but I do like this morning's mock. They have us taking Brian Orakpo, Alex Unger and Jared Cook.
Re: What if we moved down and our first three picks were...
Our number 1 priority is to get some pressure on the opposing QB. There will be an impact DE or OLB available at 11. We should concentrate on fixing our pass rush, and the higher we draft, the better our chance of doing that.
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?
Re: What if we moved down and our first three picks were...
Pettigrew caught no TD's this year in a pass happy O and thats a concern plus his off the field concerns from last year. His stock is down and taking him in the 1st or even 2nd round at this point may be too early. He needs some good workouts.
Barwin isn't a bad pick, but he's another high motor guy. But he is more athletic than a Schobel or Kelsay.
Caldwell isnt bad but again I think taking him before Round 4 is a reach.
COMING SOON...

That would be a great draft, particularly if we used free agency on a veteran DE and OLB.

May not be one available at 11, or at least one who can come in year 1 and really help us. Does that change the mindset any?
Of course. Move up (if you can get a team to bite). I like multiple draft picks as much as the next guy, but this team can't afford another mediocre, run-of-the-mill, fill your Special Teams roster draft.
They have a slew of middle rung and bottom rung talent. Time to jump a little higher on the ladder.

Decent idea but you've got to think of not just cost of moving up but also contractually. Do we have an owner willing to pay a top 7 pick?? I dont think Ralph's cheap but if we are active in FA (which I think we will be) when does he say enough is enough?

I guess that's a question that begs to be answered.
I know the Bills use a draft by commitee approach, so the likely hood of them moving up is highly unlikely as those holding revenue will unfortunetly have a more formidable opinion then those that actually know the game.
But, in the event the Bills were able to look passed the monetary excuses for just a moment... and score a top 10 player, would negotiations stall late into the off season keeping the bruting talent off the field and out of training camps?
History says yes.
And really, how can Ralph fight the NFL powers that be then turn around and fork over the cash that he claims not to be able to spend?
So, I guess while it is a good idea...it should probably better be described as an average pipe dream wrapped tightly in another .500 season.
