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?

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...
-
Yes, I fully understand that you would like anybody that criticizes the Bills to leave this board. Good luck with that.
The people that have formed up the circle jerk session to suggest that Jairus Byrd is "strictly a FS" need to pull their heads out of their buttocks. “We’re looking at trying him at free safety,” said Catavolos. “He can play a number of positions for us. I think that he can be a productive free safety. He’s got excellent ball skills, he reads the quarterback well, he plays the ball well in the air. So this is a flexible athlete for us.”
No one is a lock at any position until they prove it on the field, but its already been said by Byrd and the FO that he was drafted to play safety...

Miami used their 5 picks in the first year of the Parcells era on lineman: OT Jake Long, DE Philip Merling, DE Kendall Langford, OG Shawn Murphy, and OG Donald Thomas. They'd previously signed OG Justin Smiley, and this season inked Jake Grove while re-signing RT Vernon Carey.
He builds from the lines out. As does Andy Reid. Any team without a DL and OL in a rebuild project that doesn't take big guys first is handling it all wrong.
Have you even watched the draft or offseason? We brought in guys on the O Line, one which I think was a great FA signing, and then drafted arguably the best pass rusher, C and G in the draft...\
WE ARE BUILDING our lines...
-
Or we could stick to the legitimate distinction the guy you quoted made, which is that CBs and Safeties have significantly different responsibilities in an NFL defensive backfield. Suggesting that drafting a FS is the same as if we had drafted a CB shows a clear lack of understanding about how and NFL defense functions, particularly that played by the Bills. The fact is, Buffalo has had a phenomenal draft, focusing on positions where our needs were desperate. Why do some fans here have to find ways to be negative no matter what? Why even put yourself through the ups and downs of being a fan if you never see an up?
-
I could be wrong but I'd say the top 10 D (and 3rd rushing D) went out the window when we started playing decent teams more so than JUST because of injuries. I'd also expect Stroud to be doubled almost every play regardless of Schobel...until we get another legit tackle.
Three of the first 4 teams we faced were some of the best rushing teams in the league...and we didnt allow a 100 yard rusher in any of those games...people underestimate how good Schobel is against the run...losing him made a big difference...

Why stop there? Why not break it down into press corners and zone corners? And guys that can play the slot vs. those that can't? It's different skills and responsibilities, right? How about guys that can blitz off the corner vs. those that can't? Or guys that are good tacklers vs. guys that have ball skills? I'm sure if we make enough categories, we can make it look like the Bills still have a shitload of major holes in the defensive backfield!
You must not know football if you want to discount that there is a major difference from safety to corner back...make all the jokes you want, but they are LISTED as different positions on an NFL roster, or any football roster for that matter, for a reason...

Bells a 7th round draft choice who has never played a down in a NFL regular season game. Levitre and Butler are better as gaurds. After that a collection of junk.
And for the last time, you are talking about BACKUPS! You are all freaked out about maybe 2 or 3 of our LT's being hurt then we are screwed...guess what, there isnt a team in this league that wouldnt have a problem in that case...

OMG, come on...Peters was a FREE AGENT TE...so who the hell cares where Bell was drafted...either he can play or he cant, and right now, all the talk is that the kid is a player by both the staff and players on this team, who I assure you are better suited to asses his talent than any of us on this board...
-
I enjoy your posts, but you are nuts.
Why is he nuts? Our D Line looks pretty good right now...you know we were a top 10 ranked D and 3rd ranked rush D before injuries killed us last year...
Our interior line was hurt more by the lack of push on the outside once Schobel went down. They just doubled Stroud on every play.
Why the late round glut of CBs may be a good thing

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?
