An idea to consider

I am not sure how this will turn out, but, I have an idea.

There are many people who feel that they are smarter then our current GM and could do a better job. I am not one of those people. We have the benefit of hindsight and lots of second guessing. Running a team is 2 things they do not have, at all. I don't understand what so many expect them to achieve in 2 short years. I think everyone agrees that we can not get free agents to come here that are top tier game changers. This has been a losing team for over a decade and before a player wants to spend time here (unless he is motivated by cash, and in that case, we don't want him), they want a chance at the playoffs and everyone's goal, the Super Bowl. That means that the draft and rookie free agents are the only way we can build a team.

Here is what I propose for those who really believe they can do better. Fantasy draft. When Buffalo is on the clock, those who think they can do better will list their players for the draft. You can only choose guys who haven't been chosen yet. This is an ongoing fantasy, so, you would keep track of how good you do. You can sign free agent rookies too, but, before real games are played, in the preseason. You would keep track of them, like you would in any fantasy football league you belong to. A moderator would keep secondary track and post the results. Lets see how good you really are.

I know for those who wanted a QB last year, all but Dalton are currently sitting on the pine (not including first round QB's because we took Dareus), so, your draft would be judged as ineffective because he can't beat out a starter in front of him. If this keeps going for a few years, perhaps we all could gain some insight insofar as how hard it really is to draft kids and see how well they do. So, what say you? Fantasy draft for the next 3 or 4 years? Rules would have to be worked out.
