More on the Bills

Just thinking about it, here is some more on those wagon-circling Buffalo Bills:

- Honestly, trade for Jared Gaither or accept that your backup QBs (by which I mean every one on your roster) will be toast by week 8. He is still unhappy in Baltimore, and they might feel desperate. A 2nd rounder will get him, but I would offer a 3rd at first, or maybe a 3rd and conditional pick in 2012.

- Start paying attention to the NCAA game a lot more, Bills fans. Get to know names like Anthony Castonzo from BC, or Gabe Carimi from Wisconsin, cause one of those guys could be your new left tackle in the 2011 Draft. Also, since you need a QB, follow Stanford, Washington and Arkansas closely. That is where quarterbacks Andrew Luck, Jake Locker and Ryan Mallet play. Many thought that, if Locker had come out this year, he would have been the number 1 pick. One scout even dared to call him a more athletic, left-handed John Elway. Personally, I think I would take Mallet, but you will have options drafting towards the top of the 1st round.

- Yes, I think you will be drafting towards the top of the first round. Sorry. But even if you make it to around 10, those QBs will still be there. There aren't many bad teams that need them right now. Detroit, St. Louis and Cleveland all have their QBs of the future. The real place to look is teams with aging vets or draft picks that haven't quite panned out. I could see Buffalo, Washington, Jacksonville, Arizona, San Francisco, Minnesota and Seattle as the only teams that would pick a signal caller in the first two rounds. I think even Oakland will stay away from them this year, depending on how many come out. So, pay attention to the college game so you can know who you are getting.

    My thanks to the Wizards for taking Yi Jianlian off the Nets hands. More money to spend on free agents and maybe LBJ.
    See you Sunday!
