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!

Who had been picked when the 1st round came by? Winston Justice seems like a reach at #8...he should probably be more of a late 1st rounder...as for choosing Bobby Carpenter at #2...are you drafting with us going to a 3-4 ?
Stovall would be great for us- he's tall and strong in contrast to our undersized guys like Evans and Parrish. He's got great hands and catches anything that comes within 15 feet of him.
But there are other positions that are priorty over WR.
I wanted Claude Wroten in rd 3, but he was taken late 2nd
Besides, rookie DT's rarely make an impact anyhoo.....
I hafta go with my draft board LOL
I like the idea of getting a run stuffing DT in free agency (Ryan Pickett would be ideal; Grady Jackson might be a bit more realistic). Gabe Watson would be nice in the 2nd, as he's more of a 2 gap tackle. Claude Wroten? A good interior rusher, but @ 6-3 and 290, not quite the massive 2 gap tackle we need, nor is he exceptionally strong for his size to make you think he could be a 2 gap tackle @ his size. Other than Ngata or Watson, I'd look to Stanford's Babatunde Oshiowo as a better fit for DT.
Id love to see us grab Pickett in FA but I wonder if Marv will do it....As for the picks I like them Clump, I dont see us addressing the G or S posistion but we could do that in FA. Overall good picks.
COMING SOON...

There is a misconception about the NFL draft: rookies can come in and be the answer at a position of need. Why didn't you take a run-stuffing DT? We did in 2004, his name is Tim Anderson and he's not the long term answer....yet. He could still develop with more experience.
My draft strategy takes into account need, free agency, salary cap, age, and now that the coaching is basically gone....new players that fit the philosophy of the new staff/FO
1) OT Justice: protected Leinhart's blind side and I read that he's had experience at LT. The mock had a few admin problems early because unclassmen were not eligible until they declared. Vince Young became eligible after my pick and the team at #9 grabbed him. This is why the mock should have started after the deadline to declare. I did not want Vince Young at #8 anyhoo....I would have traded down. At the time of my pick, I was told Justice had declared....admin of the mock said keep him.
2) SOLB Bobby Carpenter: who presently on the Bills roster can play SOLB other than Posey? No one...you are not gonna move Spikes there...Crowell is WOLB/MLB...thus the need to find a player who can back up Posey, contribute on special teams, and be the future at that position
3a) DE Ray Edwards: Come draft day, if Edwards is still sitting there....you take him. I've rec'd many offers for his rights bu other team owners. He's a value pick.
3b) WR Maurice Stovall: His size alone makes him potentially valuable in the red zone. We will eventually need a WR with his size.
BTW: I restructured Moulds & franchised Nate.
I just offered Losman and my 5th for Schaub. The guy offered Schaub to me for the rights to Edwards and my 4th & 5th rd picks.....his proposal was ridiculous, so was mine LOL
