They're in the recycling business. They had a perfectly fine little running back, Travis Henry, and they recycled him for Willis McGahee. McGahee was doing well, and then they recycled him for the current top draft, Marshawn Lynch. Who knows? Maybe somewhere in some high school in West Virginia there's this big kid just waiting to ... you know. You can keep drafting this way. It's called marking time, and if this were all there was to the Bills' roster, their grade would be down somewhere in half moon land. But the trade-up for LB Paul Posluszny makes some kind of sense, and the third-round choice, strong-armed QB Trent Edwards, is intriguing, although I can't understand what kind of competition they're trying to set up between he and J.P. Losman. And here's the pick that really gets me excited. Seventh round -- TE Derek Schouman, whose workout numbers absolutely blew away the competition at the combine. I just have a feeling about this guy.


Highest was Cleveland with an A, then the rest ranged from B+ to D- (Titans and Broncos)

Fine. We recycled running backs. But that was Tom Donahoe's fault in the first place. He kicked out a good running back in Travis Henry for a worse guy, Willis McGahee, so we trade him away and get a better prospect, Marshawn Lynch.

I hate when "experts" don't bother to use their brains. Was Marv Levy supposed to retain McGahee, whose attitude was even worse than his performance?

You can't blame Tom Donahoe's **** up on Marv Levy. Cleveland is getting way too much praise for what they gave up for Brady Quinn. If he was rated as high as every claims he is, some team would have moved up before the Browns and taken him. Heck, the Dolphins would have taken him. The funny thing is, our third round QB might be rated higher on some teams boards than Brady Quinn.

Not putting Quinn down but I think we did get the better QB.

As do I. Can't figure out how he made it to the end of the third, though.
