    My only fear about Clausen falling to #9 is that Buffalo won't draft him because of the $$,$$$,$$$.

    Wow!!! It is totally amazing what 1 year in Detroit will do to a man. Perhaps that what all teams should do with players complaining about money or playing time... send them to the 313! They'll come back ready to play!

    Someone should report to the "Draft Bible" that the coin toss to decide who was picking first between the Titans and SF was made, two weeks ago.

    pssst, the Titans won.

    And maybe PFT will tell us Terry Bradshaw is dead, even if he is not.

    Buffalo should not draft a QB until they have a line that can protect one.
