I want something else, but I've got to say I think we grab an OT in the first. We are looking at future issues at OT on both sides of the line after this season (and that's IF there are no further injuries). If Icky can come back, he's going to be somewhat expensive. Moton is winding down his career (and I hate to see him go, but his cost vs value curve is tightening up about as fast as his sciatica is on Monday mornings). In a perfect world, we grab the best OT available and let him learn behind Rasheed Walker, Moton and the rest of our experienced linemen. If Icky comes back next year or late this season, that's great. If not, and Walker proves to be too expensive, we have our guy in place. If Icky does come back, we slide the guy to OT and move ahead, with five years of reasonable costs for OT. If I had my drothers, though, I want a TE or MLB right off the bat, the best one available. Just not another WR. We need to let our current trio cook a bit more. I'm not completely given up on XL. Third season tells the tale on WRs and he deserves at least that. Plus, on first rounders, grab someone who is involved in either every offensive or defensive play. Get the mileage guys here.

While I'm optimistic about Dave, I'm still of the "gotta earn a crown" crowd more than the "bestow a crown" type.

Hey folks? Can we swing some more support his way?

This is one of those drafts where the first two off the board are pretty much known, but there's a metric eff-ton of speculation from there. It could be a whirlwind of trades or every team pretty gets the draft to fall in some accordance with their boards. At this point, I know who I'd like for us to move with, or at least the position, but I have no earthly idea how it will work out. I do know for sure that I'm ready for this to be over and done with. The wait is far too long for the draft.

Seems the least likely projections I've seen so far.

I kinda remember differently. But hey, we may be able to see it again.

Also, I'm not sure that what Puka Nakua says should always be considered as the most nuanced and well-thought position one can take.

Grab the smartest of the bunch and lock down your o-line for the next decade. Slaughter would be my choice since he has the most experience at the highest level in the position. Schrauth has leadership experience, though, and that sure could be a help.

If you think the refs we have are bad, you probably don't remember just how bad it got the last time they used replacement refs... including an incident of a Packers fan ref massively influencing a game. The NFL, when you consider all the other things tied to it like TV rights, betting, stadiums (construction, ticket prices, heck even parking and concessions), plus merchandizing, is probably a trillion dollar industry. Give the refs what they want, pay them and let's get back to having games.

Wow, best of the world to you folks! Wish I could give more, but I'll send prayers, too.

I bet! It's like catching re-runs of your favorite show I guess. Except somehow they've gotten better with time like Gilligan's Island or Firefly.

Good luck to him and to them, unless we're on the same field together. Guy gave us everything while he was here, nothing but best wishes to him. And we move on... we're just building our playoff window. The Bills are right in theirs. We need younger, they need veterans.

We need to make LB our biggest position of strength. Again. We aren't the Panthers we should be when we don't have the best linebacking corps in the league.

Best of luck to him and I hope he finds great success in his second act. On the flip side, I am glad we aren't on the receiving end of his first act anymore. That guy could play!
