I'm convinced Rivers is the man.

INDIANAPOLIS - The Buffalo Bills have the 13th pick in the NFL draft, and taking a quarterback is definitely a consideration.
North Carolina State star Philip Rivers is no politician, but he did a pretty good job Friday of lobbying to be the Bills' choice.

"It would be great," Rivers said at the NFL Scouting Combine. "Jim Ritcher was a great center up there, his son was my teammate at N.C. State, so I've heard some good things about the place. There's really not a team that I don't want to go to. But certainly Buffalo would be a great place, and you've got a great franchise and a great bunch of guys surrounding you."

Oke, I'm official sold on this guy! Rite now, i'm for one of these 3 senarios:[list=1][*]Trade up to spot 6, and grab Taylor!
1st round: Taylor
2nd round: traded (or mebe our 2005 2nd round pick?)[*]Trade down to 19 and grab Rivers! Use the extra second round on Lee Evans, or the C, Jeff sumthing, if he's still around. (is it Drake?)
1st round: Rivers
2nd round: Jeff (sumthing)[*]Trade down to 25, grab Carrey, and grab Evans and Jeff w/ our pair of seconds.
1st round: Carrey
2nd round: Evans, and Jeff. (Or rivers if he's still there?)[/list=1]

Howz that for a draft?

You became convinced over that quote? First of all Jim Ritcher was a guard. That just sounds like the same song and dance you hear from every player.

That's funny. I was going to say the same thing about Ritcher. And I also agree that all players heading into the draft play the politics. It is the "standard" thing to do. However, I will also say that the players who don't do this (i.e., who say I'm Da Man, etc.) come off my list immediately.

So in that case, what I get out of this is that he passes the first test of being smart enough to know what to say and what not to say, which is a positive (albeit a small one).
