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!

I don't like the Spiller pick one bit. The Bills have far more holes to fill than wasting a first round pick on an RB. Especially after they did not trade up to get someone else in the first round.
This is a typical move the Bills made and I for one am disappointed.

I'm on the fence. So I guess I'm half with you. He's too good to pass up on but there were definitely bigger holes to fill.

This is the deepest draft in years. People need to seriously stop whining. We get the clear cut, absolute best RB in the draft. Yea sure, we have holes on the lines. However, we have 2 more days of drafting, and a running back to trade. I trust in what Nix is doing.

Is he though? If Best didn't have an extensive injury history, would it still be so lopsided?

Yes he is. And yes it would still be lopsided. Did anybody not watch videos on this kid? Or listen to every and any analyst on ESPN and NFLNET praise this pick?

I've watched Best play more than I've watched Spiller play, that's the truth. I know that Best is a home run threat every time he touches the ball, he is a solid receiver too.
Re: I'm disappointed: Sign in if you don't like the pick
My God. You guys can listen to analyst all day. I watched CJ Spiller plenty since he turned down his childhood favorite for Clemson. Guy would absolutely kill my Seminoles. STILL, I will contend that he's a poor man's Reggie Bush. He's not going to carry the Bills offense. I don't know what it is about the Bills, but they make these moronic picks all the time, and you guys always try to justify it. Roscoe Parrish was going to be an amazing deep threat. Yeah ok. One after the other busts for the Bills.

I actually think Miami would have taken Spiller if he dropped down to you.

Reggie Bush was a home run threat every time he touched the ball in college too. He hasn't exactly lived up to the hype.

I would hope not. There's more pressing needs. He'd have been able to replace Ronnie Brown, but I'd much rather wait and draft McCluster in the 3rd. His talent was not top 10 to me, and all this "he's too talented to pass up" is garbage. He should've been drafted 20th to some playoff team that needed a playmaker. Not to rebuild a team.

That's exactly what scares me if I'm a Bills fan about Spiller. Look at his numbers between the tackles. Not that impressive. Clemson does mighty fine with recruiting, so don't try to attribute that to the OL.
