we drafted 3 corners...rd 2,6, 7.
NO, BYRD IS A SAFETY! Been said by Byrd, FO, Media, etc etc...how is this so hard for some to understand?
-
you guys don't no football or the nfl in specific. I am going to remember everyone who bitches about the CBs, just to know to never read anything you type here.
-
The Bills paid him 6.6 million for two years with another 700K in incentives to be a back-up and slot CB in nickel and dime formations, which he is very good at. They obviously think highly of him.
We will see come season time...I hope he turns it around as I want the Bills to do well...but he was terrible last year and is a big question mark...I think he has potential as he was not too bad in SD, but he was awful last year so I am not sold on him. We got a guy in the SIXTH round that was very good value where we got him.
So, we have a 3rd DB in Florence with question marks, and two guys behind him with quesiton marks...and all 3 of them have had trouble with injuries...so why exactly do you have a problem with a great value pick in the 6th? Nothing is certain about Youboty, Corner or Florence...
-
Cary Harris is a potential star in the return game? You mean the slow guy who averaged 15 yards per kickoff return for his career and was benched?
I meant that about Lankster...I will fix it...not Carey
-
You can't be serious...You think a guy who is proven to be a very reliable nickel corner sucks? Meanwhile you're supporting a WVU DB, who will blatantly never even get the chance to play in any of the spots that FLorence has and will...
BINGO. I enjoy the draft, I just don't understand why we need to endure them wasting late round picks. There is no reason to consider this draft a HUGE success. If our DE fails we really ignored our front 7, which is something I thought we would have invested a lot more of our picks in.
LOL...you clearly dont know much about Florence who was torched all year last year...in fact, just about every news source reporting it hoped he would not be starting for us or we would be in trouble...
Maybe he turns it around, but until he does his most recent body of work is what I am going on...he is good depth, but I think Carey, Youboty or maybe even Corner (or probably all of them) will beat him out...
-
I'm OK with the draft as a whole, but I still think it's valid to B word about about taking TWO corners late.
It's not about them refusing to fill holes, it's that they just resign themselves to the fact that they'll have problems at corner next offseason. They could have signed Greer. They could extend McGee and or Youboty. Instead, they just seem content to let good players walk away and replace them with draft picks that are a crapshoot.
Let me see if I got this straight...you think we chose a 6th round DB and a 7th round DB to let McGee walk? Really? You really think we plan to replace McGee (who the FO already has said is a priority to resign) with late round DB's?
That is not why we took them...we took them because Corner and Youboty have proven nothing thus far other than that they have promise but also get hurt. Florence stunk bad last year...so how exactly are we just SET at DB like everyone wants to scream...
Was it our biggest need, no, but its the 6th and 7th round...and the guy in the 7th was almost certainly drafted to play ST or backup at the S position...
-
The entire TBD loves you so much.
Yup...
-
You do realize that we have an abundance of CBs, making it possibly our most depthed position (thanks to the addition of Florence), right?
You do realize Florence sucks...you do realize Florence, Corner and Youboty are frequently hurt? You do realize we only drafted 2 CB's, one of which is to play ST most likely and not CB...
So you are really whining over one DB, thats whats so absurd and funny about all the whiners...one CB who could very well beat our Corner and Florence and UPGRADE us in division and confernce that has to contend with the Pats and Indy...and it was in the SIXTH ROUND!!!!!!!
-
Cause heaven forbid we let a CB walk without using a 1st round pick to replace him. The Universe might just fall apart.
Hmmm...we let 2 guys walk who got contracts that were way more than those players were worth...so how was that a bad thing? How has SF fared since making Clements the highest paid player on D in history at that point?
-
We just plugged major holes in our team...look at our draft:
Maybin - best pass rushing prospect in draft
Wood - arguably top 1 or 2 C/G in draft
Byrd - one of the top S prospects in our draft
Levitre - Top G prospect in this draft
Nelson - one of top 2 or 3 TE prospects in draft (and we got him in 4th round)
Nic Harris - a very promising LB prospect
Cary Harris - Great value at DB (where we are not as deep as you all want to believe with the injury problem we have at DB every year) who was projected as a 3rd round prospect that we got in the 6th
Ellis Lankster - ST star in college and a 7th round pick...
So, because you want to whine about 2 DB's in 6th and 7th, you want to completely discredit the rest of the draft? That is the dumbest thing I have seen on this board...
We got TREMENDOUS value in this draft and potentially 5 starters...only time will tell how it all works out, but we did very well in the draft based on what is known about the players right now and the fact we chose 2 DB's too end the day does NOT change that...
We got FOOTBALL PLAYERS today...guys who are gamers...on paper, this is the best draft we have had in a very long time and one of the best of any team this year...
-
Hey, you will respect his opinion. Or else you're an idiot.
No, he isnt an idiot, you are one often though with your child like antics and rediculous posts you frequently post...
-
There is no way to know we had a great draft until next year at best..How anyone can say we had "the best draftin years" until they have played is hoping at best....I like the year we drafted lynch over any in the past 8 so far....I will chime in on what I think about this draft next year at the earliest.......I will say drafting 4 db's in a 7 rd draft is a little excessive IMO
I cant even express how frustrated I am with the stupid 4 corners drafted comment...we did not draft four corners, we drafted a Safety, LB, and 2 corners...HUGE difference...
And yes, no way to know for a bit how good a draft will be, but on Draft Day, which is where we are right now, we did very well...
-
Dawg I'm not arguing the entire draft. I'm arguing Dick the dick screwing around with DB's and the brass letting him. Or at least what I believe is happening. Would have not this guy been available after the draft?
No he wouldnt, Pittsburgh was bumbed we took him as they were going to draft him...
-
Tell me that wouldn't have been better than a camp fodder DB?
http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/26/...on-jarvis-moss/
Yeah, and there are rumors that Scheffler could be had for a fourth which werent true as they asked for a first...Henderson was rumored to be had for a 4th but it wasnt true, they wanted more...Boldin was rumored to be had for a 2nd, again thus far not true...
So, that rumor you posted isnt worth much IMO
-
Thank GOD your not
Youre an idiot...We just had an awesome draft...
-
Hey dumbass we care about a 7th rounder when there are still needs out there. Foe example: An OT could have been brought in to push or for depth, the same can be said for OLB, as well as FB. Out kicker and punter are in their almost mid 30's and on the back side of their careers and Pat McAfee who can do both was the next palyer taken off the board. Good thing your not the GM but at the end of the draft it doesn't matter now does it.
OMG, all those players will STILL be there as UFA...relax...my gawd, it takes so little to get the posters panites in a wad on this board...we just had the BEST draft in years, and arguably the best draft of any team this year...
Is everyones life so miserable that they have to constantly just complain to feel better?
-
I believe the answer is they have no idea what they are doing.
Are you kidding? We just had the best draft we have had in years, and you want to knock it based on a 6th rd and 7th rd selection...thank god you are not in the FO
-
i was just kidding to myself telling my buddy watch them take a corner with the 7th pick too, and what happens they take Lankster, who comes from WVU and there DB's always got torched.. damnit a real crappy draft after our nelson pick
Man the ingnorance on this board is astonishing sometimes...we did NOT draft 4 corners...we drafted 2 corners, one in the 6th (who was great value) and the guy in the 7th who is more likely headed to special teams where he excelled at in college...
Byrd and Harris are being moved to S and LB respectively...
And has anyone noticed that we have one of the best ST units in the league every year? So do you think the FO may know a lil about something when it comes to finding some late round players for it...
This was a great draft...
-
Its the 7th round, he was drafted as a ST player where he starred at in College...relax, this draft was a huge success...

This team should be adding size and depth to its front seven. It also needs a starting LT. Until those issues are addressed, WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUCK. Jauron, Alpha and Co. fail to realize this.
What? We had one of the biggest O LInes in football, in fact, I think it was the biggest...and it wasnt good enough despite the size and money we spent on it...
A couple years ago our O line was terrible, they go out and spend on two of the top OL in FA in Dockery and Walker that year hoping to have shored it up for a long time...it looked good then, but unfortunately Dockery didnt pan out. Now we shed the dead weight, sign Hangrove, and draft 2 stud OL players.
We also went out and drafted Maybin, plus in recent past we traded for Stroud, resigned Schobel, signed Spencer, drafterd McCargo, etc, etc...
They have CLEARLY been trying to build our lines...some moves have been very good, and some didnt work out, but none the less, we have clearly been actively trying to shore up both lines the last few years...
-
Drew Willy is on Kiper's BPA at #7. What are the odds that the bills take him at 7?? Just for the marketing play, etc.???
I think they go Follet who would be a great value in 7th as many wanted him in the 4th
-
Draft grade (regardless of 7th round).
B+ IMHO. Could be an A- depending on how things play out.
Could we have done better, yes and no. Did we get most of what we needed, yes. Are 4 of 5 going to be starters, yes. Will they make an impact, yes.
On paper, its an A+ for me...its not very often you can add arguably one of the top 2 prospects at many positions in a draft:
Maybin = best pass rush prospect
Wood = 1st or 2nd best C/G prospect
Levitre = Best G prospect
Byrd = One of best S prospects
Nelson = Top 2 or 3 TE propsect
Nic Harris = Potential steal as a LB prospect
Thats a dam good draft...now time will tell how it pans out, but on Draft Day, the Bills GOT IT RIGHT.

Watch the documentary "Bigger, Stronger, Faster"...its actually pretty good and he has a good size piece in it. Its available on Netflix as a "watch instantly" selection if you have it...and if you have an Xbox 360 you can watch your Netflix watch instantly movies right on it when connected to Xbox Live...
-
Like I said, I amazed we were even in negotiations with Peters, offering him 8-9 million a year, if they were this comfortable with what we have.
I will take this NEW O Line over last years O Line all day long...so who the hell cares about Peters, its about what our O Line can be now, which is better than last year by far IMO...
I cant believe the negativity of this board

Dude, he is projected as the THIRD DB meaning he would more than likely see some time at corner...
What has Corner proved? Nothing...he is promising, but he hasnt proved anything yet...
What has Youboty proved? That he cant stay healthy...thats it. I actually like him and his potential, but there is nothing certain about him or that he can even stay healthy...
What has Florenced proved? Nothing other than he gets badly torched lined up as a corner...you have no idea how he will be as a nickel, you are assuming he wont get torched...so dont act like you have some profound knowledge of what he will be...no one knows how the switch will be, but we do know he wasnt very good at corner.
So, I ask you again, how is taking a steal in the SIXTH round to compete with 3 guys who cant stay healthy and are MOSTLY unproven?
You are a fool if you think our DB's have no question marks...
