..Will be the first to complain when the Bills are getting run over in games, down by 10-14 points in the 2nd quarter. You're conclusion will be " Told you, we need better skill players " 
Not saying Peterson, Green, Gabbert, Newton etc. are not worthy of high selections or void of top talent... But when your team is the absolute worst at stopping the run and rushing the passer, you have no chance of competing unless you have All-Pro players at multiple other positions with a HOF QB playing out of his mind. Peyton Manning overcame those odds one year but they still had some players on on an overall bad D. That's still the EXCEPTION. SB participants GB & Pittsburgh both have top QB's but their D's were the 2 best in football last year. Hardly a coincidence. That's what wins you close games and allows you to advance in the playoffs 98 % of the time. You cannot win constantly playing from behind.
The Bills lack star power to a level of an expansion team and Gailey was left an absolute mess. Expansion teams go for D first to stay in games, while the O comes around in 2-3 years. With Gailey running our O, I think it will come around far quicker. He's the best HC we've had in years.
This is still a 2 year minimum rebuild job and you load up on D Front 7 additions until it changes. Then you can focus on other areas. This draft seems to have an above average number of Front 7 talent, so it's a great opportunity to finally change the direction of this team.
I could care less what Peter King, Todd McShay or any other talking head who doesn't follow our team thinks. The Front 7 on D is priority #1. Those mock drafts mean nothing.
Hopefully our stubborn 92 year old owner, who is more concerned with marketing ploys over wins, will finally listen and contain his desire to meddle.
