FWG: Let me start first by saying, I am an unabashed Bills fan. Yes, my beloved Bill-ski’s, THE premiere team of the early ’90’s. Well 11 seasons and not a playoff birth to speak of, here I am, predicting the draft, when that’s really the last thing on my mind. I should be predicting that the team ends up in Toronto or in L.A. once old man Wilson dies, and his legacy is sold to the highest bidder. The bottom line is, this off season, the Bills need O-line, and with the recent departure (ehem, retirement) of Brad Butler, their case is almost desperate. But in keeping with the theme of giving up, and with the Bills moving to a 3-4 defense next year, I say screw the “needs” (like, um, a playoff game) and take a nose tackle. With the smart money saying there are no premiere DT/NT’s left, I’m gonna go out on a limb, and say take THE fat black guy. Terrence Cody, my 2010 NFL Draft pick for the Buffalo Bills. God save me.
Jay: Oh FWG, it pains me to listen to Bills fans. You are correct on the idea that they need an OT. Last year they lost Jason Peters to Philly and now the retirement of Butler. If somehow Clausen or Bradford fall to them, I think they will jump at that but by no means is THE FBG going to be picked here. It is clear to me that he ate his way out of the first round. He weighed in at 370 lbs. at the SR Bowl. I know he got down to 356 lbs. at the combine but you and me both know that one weekend in Buffalo with 15 buckets of chicken wings and BOOM! 380 lb. T-Cody is back. I think the Bills should draft OT Bruce Campbell from Maryland. He is an athletic freak (At 317 lbs. he ran a 4.78 40). He should be able to help out the Bills instantly. They need to rebuild the OL because I don’t care if Jim Kelly is behind center, with no time, no QB will be successful.
UPDATE!!!
Jay: check it out… With the 9th pick in the 2010 NFL draft, The future LA Bills select… (http://fwgnfl.com/?p=557)
Chris: I almost threw up in my mouth
Jay: haha
Chris: On the other hand, Cody could stimulate the Buffalo fast food economy

Love the post. However, I disagree with both of you. I think Cody is good but this is a huge reach for him even though he is the FBG who could potentially be competing with Rob in the future and who also has much more F than Rob. Secondly, if you have seen some tape on Campbell I think he could be very good but he plays upright and he lets people get inside his frame. I say you go with Trent Williams with this pick who had almost as good a workout as Campbell and plays the position better on the field!
Listen, if your a team who is in a situation like the Buffalo Bills are (no playoff appearances, nothing going for you, no future outlook), there is only one move to make…
TIM TEBOW
Boom
*Disclaimer: I am a die hard Bills fan and if the Bills actually draft Tim Tebow with the 9th overall pick I am going to personaly pull Ralph Wilson’s life support cord.
Remember, training camp is in Rochester – Home of the Garbage Plate, 380 would just be a pit stop.
