Cardinals in Hot Pursuit of Gabbert

The Cardinals have stepped up their efforts in their pursuit of Blaine Gabbert to be their next franchise quarterback. It has been reported by multiple sources that Cardinals ownership took Gabbert to dinner Tuesday night, and were on hand as the Cardinals coaching staff held a private workout for him Wednesday afternoon. There has been a good amount of speculation this off-season that the Cardinals would pursue a veteran quarterback such as Ravens backup and former Rams quarterback Marc Bulger, but with the lockout and subsequent postponement of free agency, the Cardinals appear to be pursuing different angles. The Cardinals could still sign Bulger once free agency begins, as he could re-establish his career as a starting quarterback for a season while Gabbert develops with Gabbert ultimately taking the reigns. Of course, this could all be moot, as Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey has spoken very highly of Gabbert and could be eying him with the 3rd overall pick as they already have the veteran stop gap quarterback already in place. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next month as things appear to be heating up.

Inside The War Room: Buffalo Bills

I guess I'll kick off the festivities...With the 3rd pick, the Buffalo Bills select Cam Newton, QB, Auburn. I don't think that Newton's skill set translates well to the pro game and there are the well-chronicled red flags, but his raw talent will prove too tantalizing for the QB-hungry teams in the top 10 to ignore. BUF might be a good situation for him, as his mobility and arm strength make him a good fit in Gailey's scheme. Newton would have the ideal mentor in Harvard-grad Ryan Fitzpatrick, who could hold down the fort for a season or two while Newton learns the ropes. In a division with NE and NYJ clearly ahead of the pack and with a frustrated fanbase in need of some hope , the Bills should take a chance on greatness. Newton's presence in Western NY would also be a financial boon for their depressed BUF economy.

Here i think the buffalo bills do the usual and takes somebody that shocks everyone. I think they will take A.j Green, and even though there not a specific need at WR, He could be one of the most dangerous players in the draft and allow the bills to look at ryan mallet in the 2nd. this would give the bills a chance of have a prolific passing game in the very near future and have a explosive offense which fits the bills head coaches schemes.

If he's still available its gunna be patrick peterson. He's the best player in the draft by far and the bills would be lucky to have him roaming the secondary.

Von Miller. The 3-4 defense needs a great pass rusher and the Bills don't have one. Maybin sucks
