  1. Yeah we dont need a TE, the Dereks will be awesome like all our other 4th round TEs we drafted. Well run lynch two downs, then try and get it to Evans then punt. Im sure Peyton hates having Dallas Clark, Romo hates having Witten. Luckily we have 2 serviceable, journeymen at TE that wont do anything, who wants more weapons. The defense benefits so much from the offense going 3 and out.

  2. Im with a lot of ya. Im sick of the Bills always putting off the TE position. Its not like we have the scariest offense in the league last year. The running game seems solid, TO and Evans should be good, why not add the final piece with a Blue Chip TE instead of our usual disposable 4th round, journey man type TE selection. The best case IMHO is to hopefully someone is there at 11 that someone wants to move up and grab and we can move down a few spots. And get an extra pick. Draft could go like this.....

     

    Bills trade pick 11 for pick pick say 17 and pick up a third.

    At 17 Bills take TE Pettigrew

    At 28 Bills take OT either Britton or Beatty who's ever left

    2rd Bills take DE Connor Barwin or Larry English

    Bills trade a third and a fourth to move back into the 2nd round

    Bills second 2rd Bills take OC Eric Wood or Jonathan Luigis

    Remaining 3rd Best available OLB

  3. The sky isnt falling because we traded Peters. A lot of these same people said the same thing when Jonas Jennings was lost to San Fran................................... and went on to become a bust. Jason Peters wasnt playing at Walter Jones level but yet wanted to be paid like it.

  4. Im starting to like Pettigrew more and more. The Bills in their history have never had a great TE. All this talk about how TO can prevent opposing defenses from doubling evans, imagine giving opposing defenses another thing to think about by adding Pettigrew. It would give Trent a safe option when he needs it. A big plus is Pettigrew is a stud blocker beside being a receiving threat. Should help Lynch in the running game. One of the best ways to help the defense is for the offense to stay on the field more and score more points.

  5. I totally agree with you, Penn State players rarely translate to the NFL besides the ones you named Going back to 87. That year they had 2 picks go in the first round Conlan who was good and DJ Dozier who wasnt. They didnt have a single player go in the first round again till 1990 when the Jets took Blair Thomas 2nd overall and he is an all time flop. In 93 the Dollphins took OJ McDuffie in the first to continue the Flop streak. In 95 they had three players go in the top ten of the draft, Kyle Brady, Kerry Collins, and KiJana Carter while Brady and Collins have had long careers they are both flops especially to the teams that took them, and Carter I am not sure he ever even played(due to injury so flop, flop, flop). In 96 they had two go in the first Jeff Hartings hit and Andre Johnson flop(also noteably that year Bobby Engram went in the second round so that could be a hit I guess). In 98 the Bears took Curtis Enis in the first (big Flop). Then in 2000 as you pointed out Courtney Brown and Lavar Arrington both Flops. In 2003 they had 4 players go in the first round. Jimmy Kennedy (flop), Bryant Johnson (flop),Michael Haynes(Flop), and Larry Johnson hit, in 2006 Tambi Hali still is a question mark good first year not so hot since, and Levi Brown who is looking better.

     

     

    Man their all just about a roster of disasters. Ive seen the Everette Brown youtube reel and he looks good to me but then again you have all those FSU DE busts. Arakpo got manhandled by Pettigrew and I saw his youtube reel and a lot of his sacks looked like missed blocking assignments by weaker competition. Pettigrew has speed issues and for the most part 11 is too high for him. Cushing has injury concerns, Malalauga has questions about his coverage. Dont get a great vibe on all these guys mock drafts have us taking.

  6. 11 is too early for pettigrew IMO. Cook, Beckum, Coffman will all be available in rounds 2 and 3 and I think any of them can be just as effective.

     

    For people who like Arakpo, didnt Pettigrew own him blocking in this years game? Seems like Pettigrew is strong in blocking and receiving.

  7. Everett Brown intrgues me....go to youtube and check out his highlight reel. The guy has some quick moves and seems relentless. I know FSU DE bust history in the past, but this guy I think is different. Maybin worries me because hes either too small for DE or hes moves to LB where he doesnt have a lot of experience.
