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!
I saw an ex- NFL GM on ESPN last night (wish I could remember who) and he said that one of the mistakes he made was drafting for need instead of draft value- if you pick a #15 player at 9 to fill a need, you still get a 15 player (and you have to pay him #9 salary).
Translation: Do NOT draft Poz or Leon Hall without a trade down.

Anyone who think Puz is worthy of the 12 pick is crazy in my opinion. Hes not even the best OLB, much less the best LB.
I think hes a solid 2nd rounder who could slip to the 3rd as several have predicted.
Hes a player, hed be great here, Id love to have him, but not at 12.
Nothing is a guarantee, gamble, reach, tomato, tommmattto.
No, his point is on the money.
"Reach" implies a player drafted higher than there pre-draft ranking. "Gamble" implies its no sure thing that the player will live up to their pre-draft ranking.
However, the rankings are the rankings, and when carried out responsibly by professionals for NFL teams, they are completely valid.
I dont believe the Bills or many if any teams feel that Puz is worthy of the 12 pick, notice I didnt say the 12th best player, thats also different. But I dont think any team feels hes worthy of being drafted by any of the first 12 teams, yes, I think that includes us.
POS is a good, servicable player who I think will be a starter in the NFL and wont hurt the team he plays for.
That's not good enough..Not for Buffalo and especially not when you have a pick in the top dozen.
Whether its LB or somewhere else; this team needs a game-changer player. We lack that and until we get more than just Losman and Evans we are far from a playoff team.

Yes sir, THANK YOU!
I can finally agree with your post. I say that since you didnt insist it has to be Willis.
Willis or anyone else, I agree it should be a game changer type playmaker.
When you are investing millions upon millions of dollars in something you can call it whatever you want. Especially when its something that has no experience in what your paying them to do.

Dont disagree there. I hope you didnt just convince yourself that forming a draft board and sticking to it is a waste though, it isnt. Because when your paying thousands and thousands (who knows maybe millions) to have scouts, go and scout, why not actually USE them?
Its no exact science, but that doesnt mean you shoot arrows wearing a blindfold either. They do their due dilligence, get as much information possible, form a general consensus on who we should draft and where. That said, I dont think its likley at all that the name Posluzny goes to the commish at 12.

Hey to be fair I didn't think there was any way in hell Whitner or McCargo would be Bills in the first round.
