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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I like this guy, however it seems that all of the guys from "smaller" schools that the Bills have taken lately (despite the round) have been below average or complete garbage.
Carrington = average at best
Troup = borderline bust as of now
McKelvin = terrible
Batten = worthless
Moats = decent role player
Levi Brown = CFL
Shawn Nelson = awful
"Ace" Bowen = laughable
Xavier Omon = everyone knows my thoughts on him lol
John Wendling = good ST player that's about it
Kind of generalizing, and there are some good small school players in the league, but I'd rather see them take someone who was productive in the SEC or any other competitive conference.
The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.
So they are looking at top end OT prospects to come in and provide depth? Not great value if you're drafting to pick backups.
depth or competition, I said. but should of said depth and comeptition
and Nix said they want 2 - OT's in this draft.
if we draft Glenn or Martin and either starts at RT for a year or 2 because Hairston improved and plays well then how is that a bad move. this team need upgrades to their existing T's but that doesn't mean Hairston can't still win that job, or won't be allowed to compete for it.

Boy, I hear you there. It is so frustrating when every other team gets a Pro-Bowler in every round, every year.
You have feelings on Xavier Omon?
Batten played alright last year, and I would think that a little PT for Carrington and Moats would probably help them out...at least if they played it would probably allow you to make a more accurate assesment of their ability.
McKelvin must be pretty good, becuase it seems that people didn't think he needed replaces...despite calling for him to be replaced after every play last season. I don't know if that was because they liked McKelvin, or it screwed up their mock draft, setting them back a year, on the quest for a GM position...
Maybe...still nowhere near sold on Hairston at LT, great RT potential, little interest in him at LT.
Which is why we draft competition.
I agree Hairston was no stud, but he will get his shot to stay at LT, but even our RT options aren't that wonderful.
As long as whoever we draft early starts we should be better off
