Thursday afternoon, Andre Reed raised some eyebrows with a tweet to a certain draft prospect. Florida State QB Christian Ponder.

"@cponder7 Lookin forward to calling your name Draft Day!!!!!!!!!Bills brash like ur style"

Reed deleted the tweet shortly after typing it. So like I said, read in to it what you will.

Been saying it for months. Ponder at 34. Also wouldn't mind seeing his girlfriend at the Ralph.

Re: Bills and Ponder Linked again via Andre Reed

that's a total facepalm. now not only will the bills not get him, but the pats will make out like bandits trading out of 33

What an idiot.

Re: Bills and Ponder Linked again via Andre Reed

The provenance of a "tweet", or a "voice mail", is beyond laughable...

Re: Bills and Ponder Linked again via Andre Reed

either the bills are incredibly deceptive and can engage in grade A mind ****ery or they just can't get out of their own way.

which do you think is more believable?

I thought he was announcing our pick at 3 only, maybe I'm wrong.

I'm sure Nix has kept Reed up to date.

I would hope no Bills fan would be dumb enough to try to sleep with the Bills' quarterback of the future's wife or girlfriend... that would just be wrong - we need our QB to have a clear head and as little off the field guff as possible so he can focus on football and nothing but football.

Personally, I would fight someone if I saw them trying to hit on the Bills' starting quarterback's wife/girlfriend.

Adam Schefter seems to think that both Ponder and Dalton will be picked on Day 1 and not make it to the 2nd round.

Re: Bills and Ponder Linked again via Andre Reed

I think that Reed was just talking on his own and the tweet (and its re-tweeting) made him re-evaluate what he said.

He later wrote it as "possibly" announcing the name. Ultimately, like Jim I think Andre is just a really famous Bills fan who talks a bit.

Maybe, but I don't consider Adam Schefter to be terribly trustworthy since moving to ESPN.

I actually don't think Dalton or Ponder will get picked on Day 1. It's possible one of them might, though.

I'm sure he heard that we like Ponder, or that we're high on him, or something of that nature but who's to say we don't like another QB just as much, or maybe more. Who knows?

With regards to Dalton/Ponder going in the 1st, that means 4 QBs are going round 1, with Locker/Kaepernick/Mallett going in 2nd/3rd rounds. What if Mallett goes in the first? That's 5, pretty high number.

Pats are set up perfectly to trade down and have a team like the 49ers, Redskins, Cardinals (depending on what they do in round 1) move up and take a QB. They hold on of the last 5 picks in round 1 and the first in round 2, all ahead of the Bills.

Depending on what we do with #3, every team in the league will call up the Pats at 28 and 1 (round 2).
