    NFL.com - Tavon Austin High On Bills Radar

    True.. or trying to trigger trades ?

    Tavon Austin is gaining steam as the 2013 NFL Draft approaches. The West Virginia wide receiver apparently is drawing interest from the Buffalo Bills, who have the No. 8 overall pick.

            Pick #16 and pick #78 and pick #184 are pretty tempting for pick #8. If I'm the Bills I go for it.

              ****, I'd draft him outright if there aren't quality offers.

                  Even Buddy Nix and the Bills front office wouldn't be stupid enough to come out and announce who they were honestly looking to draft.

                    Seems like just about every club is being linked with Austin...

                        He's so high on our radar that we didn't bother to work him out or bring him in for a visit.

                        Most obvious smoke screen ever. We're probably the joke of the league for even pretending like we like Austin.

                        Ugh I'm so done with this team. Ralph is cheap. Buddy is a fool. Brandon needs to go back to the MLB.

                        did I cover everything?

                          No, you pretty much have it covered. Unless they're actually going to throw us all off and draft a guy who didn't actually visit.

                          To be fair, after listening to that predraft press conference, the whole thing seemed like one giants smoke screen. Yeah, Whaley said very good things about Austin, but he saw him obliterate a team in person, it's expected. You've got Nix announcing to the world that he's basically taking a QB, said there are at least three big time franchise QBs in this draft. If that's not blowing smoke up are asses then I don't know what is, or they really do think Matt Barkley is the next big thing. Heck, Nix had no issues with Barkley's arm strength, I mean really? How the **** can anyone believe that?

                            Tavon Austin is an incredible playmaker, and I doubt the Bills are "lying" about liking him. But just because they like him doesn't mean he's one of their options at #8.

                            Watching the entire press conference, it's pretty obvious they are targeting someone with size at WR.

                              The sad part is that he thinks there are at least THREE franchise QB's in this draft. Not many drafts period turn out three franchise QB's let alone this crop of QB's. It probably doesn't take much for Buddy to consider someone a franchise QB though.

                              This is the same guy who thought Fitzpatrick was the answer and basically paid him 20 million dollars for 2012 and drafted Aaron Williams over Dalton and Kapernick. Then in the 3rd while still needing a QB he took Sheppard instead of taking a chance on Mallett. This was even before they thought Fitzpatrick was the answer after he had a good month of football in 2011 and we had a need at QB.
