This Draft was the culmination of the ineptitude of team Tomlin/Colbert.

    to them he may be... Buffalo is cold as hell and a big, fast, strong WR is exactly what they need for a young QB.

      I'm not sure I like your draft scenario better than what we actually got. In your scenario we get a better WR on paper, a weaker LB, the same DE, and the exact same CB prospect. In your scenario we lose our 1st round pick next year plus picks this year or next year to move up for Desir or Borland.
      It would have been too expensive to move up for Evans. You can't mortgage your future that much. It isn't prudent at that juncture.

        Buffalo did it for Watkins..... this was about us giving up 2 1's or more for Evan's. I thinks highly of Evans but 2 1's plus a sweetener is a bit egregious.

            no one will, thats how this board operates.
            the 'real' fans have zero independent thought. once a player is cut or walks in FA, then they will proclaim he is no good or knew he was a bust all along

              If this board is so horrible, why torture yourself by continuing to participate?

              I'm sure that plenty of other boards would love to have an "independent thinker" like you...
              Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                            i laugh at every one your responses because you cant just man up and stand by a statement. you talk in circles trying to cover up your lies, innuendos and presumptions. you ask for others to supply you with examples when debating them but you run away when you get asked to do the same. you are a classic lemming.

                              Umm...I stand by that statement...you were complaining...It's not very circular at all...

                              Now, I did presume that you must find it to be horrible on this board, or else you wouldn't complain so much...now, if my presumption was incorrect, I will certainly "man up" and admit it...

                              But, with the general contempt you show towards other posters, I don't think I was incorrect...

                              As far as lies, innuendo and presumptions...well, you got me there...except for the lying part...and you totally left out "conjecture"...
