The Bills Have a lot of Hills to Climb: Let us begin with tonight’s draft

The Buffalo Bills’ fans are a loyal bunch. The last time the team made the NFL playoffs was the 1999 season. This was the end of a promising decade for the team, in which they made 4 Super Bowls. It was also the end of the team showing any promise at quarterback. The team featured the likes of Jim Kelly and Doug Flutie for most of the decade, but since then have not been able to show any promise at the position. This brings us to tonight’s NFL Draft. Should the Bills use their pick on one of the many promising quarterbacks featured in the draft? Trent Edwards is not a quarterback who can lead the team to the playoffs. Also of note is that the Pittsburgh Steelers have made mention that they are willing to part ways with recently suspended Ben Roethlisberger for the right price. This could be Buffalo’s highly coveted 9th pick in the draft. Given the fact that Roethlisberger will be suspended for up to 6 games this season, this may not be the way for the Bills to have a chance at getting into the playoffs this season.

Alternatively, this year’s draft has several young promising quarterbacks the Bills could select at tonight’s draft. They include: Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, Tim Tebow, Tony Pike, and Colt McCoy.

Bradford is likely to be taken 1st by the Rams, however Clausen is a very promising young gun who played in a pro style offence at Notre Dame. There are scepticisms about his size, which may lead the Bills to look to scooping up a pick at another position. The Bills have many gaping holes in their roster, so we all might be surprised with who they decide to go with. The draft is deep at many positions, so no doubt whoever they pick will fulfill a need on the team.

Having said this, we are in for a very interesting season for the Bills, and what better way to show your support then to come watch them in Toronto when they play the Chicago Bears at the Rogers Centre on November 7. The Bears will be an exciting team to watch that boasts Jake ‘The Snake” Cutler at QB and a powerhouse defence led by Julius Peppers.
