I wish Percy Harvin would have stayed healthy two years ago. He was fun to watch

Harvin/Woods/Watkins/Hogan was a nice group of recievers

She had the potential to be a great story, but it just never came to fruition. Just like Tom Cousineau.

Can we say this, yet?

Signing Poyer, Hyde, was Whaley/McDermott. So was drafting White and trading down. Benjamin hasn't done a thing for us. Matthews was a total bust.

I don't really think he's done too much, yet

- sbroads24


I was at the game in L.A. where he got his knee smoked on his first play/reception as a Bills player. The guy can barely walk - torn meniscus I think. Guaranteed once the season is done it will be announced that he has to get surgery or something to that effect. Kudos to Benjamin for even being out there, unlike Watkins who would be out for games at a time.

I personally would cut Benjamin (and hence Beane) some slack on this until we have seen the realy Benjamin play next season. Too early to make a call on him yet.

Oh I'm not saying Benjamin is garbage, he just hasn't done anything special yet.

I like Beane. 0 complaints

I think I’m the limited time he has been here he has shown that he can be the kind of player they can design a portion of the offense around. He has great hands, is not afraid to go to the greasy parts of the ice, and has enough speed to keep up with jack. I think it was a great pickup for just a third rounder.

I'll judge him based on what he does with this draft. I'm looking at the draft order, and I could see an argument for 5 of the top 7 or 8 teams to take a QB. No draft is the same, but if it's a 2004 type scenario where Rivers, Roethlisberger and Manning go in the top 5, and the Bills pick Losman at 22, he might be better off waiting til next year to take a QB.

Obviously no one wants to hear that, but I'm thinking maybe Beane should trade both firsts this year for firsts next year and use 3 firsts next year to select whoever you want. If he can't move up and get a QB early, there no sense taking one before the 3rd or fourth round imo

if tyrod wins sunday

gets them to the final 8


not sure you can move on from him


use the 5 picks to build around him for 1 year

I doubt there's a better option, really. Could throw a ton of money at Kirk cousins but is he really that much better? Tyrod's here, he's decent and if the Bills pick in the low 20s, that guy won't be ready.

I mean Cousins is good, but he's gonna be paid perhaps the most in history. I don't think that's worth it

My idea is to build the lines/LB's with the 4 picks in the first two rounds

Tackle
Pass rusher
D-tackle
Tight End

Build the foundation, and pick a QB later. DO NOT trade up for one
