Prediction: Five years from now...

[BillsWin]

We'll look back on this draft and be extremely happy.

This is the draft that will help us establish a dominant run stuffing defense that can get after the quarterback.

Spiller is going to be an absolute star in this league as well.

Of course there are going to be skeptics, but if we have a draft like this next year, except with an emphasis on offense, then this is going to be a very good football team.

Let's hope we have the coaching, because hallelujah we have a front office!

P.S. We are still going to be a brutal to average team this year. Growing pains. But there will be improvement from last year. I promise you. If Gailey is even an average coach, we will have flashes of things to come.

I still think 4-8 wins is a good assessment.

I hope your right. Don't know much about any of the guys that were picked today, but I love that Spiller is a Bill.

I'm just glad we didn't draft a Defensive Back.

I like most all of us have never watched the majority of these players play. I will reserve judgement for two years on this draft. I hope to God it is as good as you think BW.

I have watched Spiller, Troup, Moats and Brown Hammer. I REALLY like this draft.

It is my opinion that we will have a dominant defense within two years.

I really haven't had anything to be excited about Bills-wise for a while, but this draft makes me feel like I'm a kid at Christmas.

Because we will be dead, and that means we wont have to think about it.

Prediction: 5 years from now, no one on this board will give a **** about how this draft turned out because the team won't be in Buffalo anymore.

It's not negative, it's realistic.

We're one of the smallest markets in the NFL and we're one of the teams that benefits from revenue sharing (meaning we're subsidized by the higher revenue teams and they see Buffalo as a burden).

We have an owner who is over 90 and not in the greatest health. When he dies, his family has no interest in owning the team. Ralph has done nothing in terms of finding a way to keep the team in Buffalo after his death.

The stadium lease ends after the 2012 season. The Toronto deal ends after the 2012 season.

The Bills have curiously few financial obligations to coaches or players past 2012.

Toronto wants a team. LA wants a team and will soon have a vacant state-of-the-art stadium awaiting an occupant.

The Buffalo fan base is one the best- if not the very best- in the NFL. But that's all this team has going for it. It's a small city with a struggling economy and it simply can't keep up with the big dogs in terms of revenue. The economics of the game have changed and our owner was either unable or unwilling to change with them.

I don't like it- I'm sure none of us do. But that's the simple reality of the situation.

We'll have fun if the team ever figures out how to win. Until then, it's just people getting excited about nothing.
