Oh Lordy have mercy, child. Tankie McTank has reported for duty at One Bills Drive.

Just underlines the idiocy of giving up an extra 1st rounder for a WR - who does this? - to try to save his job. Never mind that you've got trash throwing to him, and could have had Beckham without trading up.

This front office is signaling that the rebuild will be done properly, instead of limping to 7 or 8 win seasons each year with a roster full of never-ending mediocrity. Bold, but now they HAVE to hit on most of those picks next year.

Also, thanks for the money, season ticket holders!

Trading up for Watkins goes back to another idiot pick, EJ Manuel. Management (whoever that was back then, I've lost track) thought a great WR would make a reach pick into a good pick. Jerry Rice, Randy Moss AND Michael Irwin couldn't have helped EJ. When they traded up, everyone thought, for a minute, it was for University of Buffalo's Khalil Mack. Yeah, they could have stayed put and taken Odell. Would he have prospered out of the NYC limelight? And working with EJ instead of Eli?

No the fans aren't happy here. Bills can't compete with NE, but with Miami scuffling for a QB and the Jets wondering if they can win a game, a WC was possible. The first team defense looked real good last night.

Bills have so many bad draft picks in recent memory (eg John McCargo) but the one that sticks out for me is taking TJ Graham when Russell Wilson was still on the board.
