I never ever ever post rumors or anything on this board so I know I'm going to get some slack for this BUT my roommates father works for the Bills and had an opportunity to sneak a peak at the Bills current draft board. He said that Tim Tebow was the #4 ranked QB on the board and that Colt McCoy was not one of those top 4 QB's.

Take what you'd like from that but I really don't have any motivation to make that up.

So when our second round pick comes around there could be a good chance that Tebow would be the our top ranked QB remaining...

If Tebow is #4, I'm assuming Bradford and Clausen are 1 and 2. So who's #3 if it's not McCoy? Skelton?

Makes sense, but it doesnt mean anything without a big board ranking to reference. Tell him to get his ass back in there snap some photos and send them to us!

Doesn't mean they like him over a DT, DE, OT etc. when the time comes around.

Didn't he see some of the names at the top of the board? All he saw was Tebow was the #4 qb?

It sounded to me that it was a situation where he got in somewhere where he wasn't exactly suppose to be. I'm sorry but that is all the info that got passed on. But for everyone worrying about Tebow at #9 you can rest a little easier.

LeFevour, Pike, Crompton, Levi Brown. Maybe?

I'm sure as hell not going to call you a liar. But I'm also going to stick by my source and information that Nix really likes McCoy.

Maybe Nix really likes McCoy, but Modrak, Gailey, and the other scouts aren't as high on him so they have him 5th?? I'm assuming that when boards are put together it's a collaborative effort.

I was just having that thought myself Ed.

Remember last year, Modrak didn't have Maybin rated that high (allegedly) and yet we drafted him because Dickie J wanted him.

Oh yeah, I'm sure they have their big board posted right in the middle of the hallway. Unless your roommate's father is in the FO, a coach, or a scout, I doubt he'd ever "sneak a peak" at the big board.

#3 could be Zac Robinson or Jevan Snead. Personally, I like Zac a lot. Nice release, adequate arm strength and very mobile.

It was the infamous janitor, going in to empty the trash cans.

Your source sounds better. Colt is extacly what Brees and Rivers were minus the arm strength (not by much).

I don't want to say what he does because I don't want to get anyone in trouble. But no he's not the janitor.

I'm not calling you a liar DrG. I just find it hard to believe. Unless of course the guy does indeed have the proper access to the board, in which case I doubt he'll tell anyone about it. He probably had to sign his soul away.

Well if we believe Pat Moran's reporting skills we were enamored with Jevan Snead weeks ago and can't see how things could change much since then.

it would have to be Snead or Lefavour (if true).. my guess is it would be Lefavour. He really quieted a LOT of my doubts with what he showed in the senior bowl.

I doubt the Bills FO empty their own trash cans, maintain the computer network, or participates in working with facilities.

In other words, there is plenty of opportunity to sneak a quick peak and I buy into DrGraves claim.

Bingo. I've worked a number of IT jobs. A couple were in major investment corporations. When the bigwigs want a projector setup, they don't do it themselves. I've been the proverbial "fly on the wall" a few times. Tends to be very awkward. I just kept my head down and tried to be invisible while working as quickly a possible. But they didn't put blinders and earplugs on me...

Someone had to setup the War Room for draft day. That would bring at least one IT support guy, probably a couple to get the communications up and well tested.

Even if he is, doesn't mean they'll take a QB in the first or second. They could have him as their #4 QB, but if they don't like the idea of spending #41 on a project and their top 3 are gone, they'll probably move to the next need if they don't see the value.

I knew we should have fired him after that New England finale.

I would be really disappointed if the Bills were stupid enough to leave their war room unsecure enough so that someone could take a peak at their board....

and if your friends dad does work for the Bills in a position where he's able to sneak a peak at the draft board.... then i'm sorry he's dumb enough to be telling his kid what's on it.

I don't think it works that way. Nix is the GM and he is the "football man" in the organization...if he likes McCoy, then McCoy is going to be higher on that board.

I remember hearing days before the draft that the Bills loved Maybin... so much that me and my best friend were praying on draft day that they didn't pick him... and then we shut the tv off and went out drinking when they picked him.

IF true it wouldn't be Lefevour, people are starting to say he might go in round 5 or 6, I think their 3rd projected QB would have to be Snead. The guy has all the potential in the world, and was talked about as a future top 5 pick after his sophmore season. I think it would have to be him. The only other guy I can see if Zac Robinson

He's not on the football side of operations it is someone on the side of operations at the stadium itself.

DB remember I said a few weeks ago that SKELTON may be the guy the Bills are looking at.....
Especially after your nice interview you gave him this week.....
SKELTON will go sooner then 95% of this board thinks.....

Only thing that would surprise me is Round 1 or 2.

That being said I dont think he's worth a third round pick, he has a lot of work to do in developing his game and he's not quite the gunslinger he likes to say he is. He makes a lot more safe throws, part of that was his teammates lack of talent but I just dont see the mentality on tape.

Id take him in the 4th but not before.
