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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

It's a sound investment in the future. The Bills have four of the top 100 picks in this draft and two of the top 32 picks next year. New coach, (probably) new GM, and out of cap hell after 2018 it looks like thanks to the Clay and Dareus contracts. The White pick wasn't flashy at all but he will probably be solid in this defensive scheme, not to mention is about as high character of a guy that there is in this draft.
I like it. They were probably taking a DB at 10 anyway which would of still had people *****ing. White has as good a chance as making it as whoever that would of been. If we had to draft a DB I'll take the two extra picks. Good move!
The player they got would have been there for their 2nd round pick. Stupid are all the people calling that a solid pick. Yes. It would be a solid round #2 pick. Not a solid 1st round pick.
The 2018 KC first will be at the tail end of the draft and therefore be more like a 2nd round pick. All the posters "hoping for a KC tank" are making me laugh.
Bills fans spend more time hoping for the draft than they do hoping to win football games. If McDermott can change that ridiculousness, then he should be crowned king of WNY.

White was projected mid 1st to early 2nd. Neither a steal nor a reach. He very well could've gone 40. We'll pick another good player around then.
I would have liked to get another pick in this year's draft, and yes, White most likely would have been there at 44 so I'll be watching who comes off the board early tonight.

That's my thinking. They were going CB and that pool of talent was very deep. So once the phone rang, they took the deal.
I also believe the sheer amount of guys at the top with medical concerns played big in this.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
I have to say if we got Rueben Foster or one of the OL, everyone here would be ecstatic that we got a 1st and 3rd along with an elite LB. But since we didn't, I think a lot of people are going to question the move. But we now have 2 picks in what everyone is saying will be one of the best QB drafts in a long time
Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions
I can't wait for next year and the year after that, maybe the following year will be even better. Our scouting staff mailed it in here and knew well before the draft they're gone, it shows. Good riddance to them
and enjoy the money you didn't deserve, please take Whaley with you.
First thought was I hated it... Hooker and Lattimore still on the board!
But time will tell.
If Hooker turns into the next Ed Reed or Eric Berry, or Lattimore becomes a shut down corner, or Mahommes works out then this is an obvious fail.
Sure we have 2 picks next year which is great. But dont think for a second that this is enough ammo to move the #1 spot for that QB from USC. If you held that pick, and had a kid that you thought was the next Luck, Manning, Newton, etc... a true ELITE and franchise QB, you wouldnt trade it for all the picks in the draft.
