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
The Bills have officially named C.J. Spiller as their starting running back. Spiller had an outstanding preseason, with a breakout, nay-sayer silencing performance against the Colts. This is a no brainer for a Buffalo offense that has struggled to find an identity since 1996. And by struggle to find an identity, I mean their last gasp for a playoff birth was the Music City Miracle. There aren’t a lot of reasons to be glad you live in Buffalo, but C.J. Spiller is definitely one of them.
