"What matters is two years and three years down the road, if we have this thing turned around in the right direction and we're winning," Nix said. "I know before I'm asked this, you're going to think I'm crazy, but we're not that far away."
“Russ and I scanned a list of possible candidates,” Wilson said. “We didn’t know them. I didn’t know them. I don’t think Russ did. We narrowed it down to two candidates for the job of general manager of football, two in-house candidates.”
Watch out AFC.. The Beast of the East is merely napping
saved for future reference...in regards to 2013 QB's.

All that needs to be said about the QBs is that they're all flawed and mediocre and shouldn't be taken anywhere in the first round. None of them.
Why would you draft a WR at 8th overall when he isnt even the top rated WR in the draft. I doubt anyone before us drafts a WR. Then you draft Manuel in the 2nd round when im sure there will be better options at QB still on the board. Other then that pretty good mock draft
Round 1) Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
Round 2) Keenan Allen, WR, California
Round 3) EJ Manuel, QB, Florida State
Round 4) Eric Reid, S, LSU
Round 5) Nickell Robey, CB, USC
Round 6) Michael Williams, TE, Alabama

Actually, the Armstrong kid has skillz. He would have been ranked much higher if he wasn't a knucklehead.
As for the mock, I have a feeling we will try to get a WR in free agency and draft one in the 3rd...N.Johnson is sliding down many draft boards because he did very poorly at the senior bowl, couldn't shed blockers and was horrid in pass protection. 2 down LB' are later round draft choices now a days. Since everyone throws so often, a LB that can cover is more coveted than a 2 down thumper. I doubt N.Johnson will be drafted until the 4th or 5th round at best. I think the #8 pick has to be either OLB or QB, that's about it. I know this will sound crazy but I wouldn't be disappointed if we drafted C.Warmack with the #8 overall. This kid dominates. He would instantly improve our OL, and we could let Levitre walk and use that money on a FA WR or LB, possibly both.
Mock draft Post-combine
1) (8) E.Ansah/D.Jordan/J.Jones OLB
2) (41) R.Nassib/E.J Manuel QB
3) (71) M.Harrison/C.Vernon WR
4) (102) V.McDonald TE
5) (136) B.Winters G/T
6) (167) M.Davis WR
we have WRs that can spread the field, just no QB that can throw the ball down field....WR is not a 1st rd need
I agree we have no QB that can throw down the field and that WR isn't a 1st round need this year but we have no WR's to spread the field. Other than Stevie there is no WR on this team that makes another team. TJ doesn't count either. I don't care how fast he is he is tiny and he can't catch a football to save his life.
Really don't like the idea of Patterson at #6. I understand he's got a really high ceiling. He also has a really low floor.
I do think he's going to be a very good return guy. But IMHO there are major doubts about whether he'll ever become an excellent WR.
He wasn't even the #1 guy on his own team in receptions, total reception yardage or reception TDs.
