    Who is the Bills Best Safe Pick?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    I think McClain would be the safest pick. Clausen could be a bust. Bulaga could be a bust, see Gailery. Spiller could be a bust, see Lynch.

     

    Trade down, stock-pile picks. That way the busts won't hurt as much, unless you are Dallas and all your picks are busts.

     

    Agreed. I would really like McClain and Poz as the heart of our D for years to come.

    Players for the everyday fan to get excited about

    There are a lot of players who I think can be good or even great players (Bulaga, Derrick Morgan, Clausen). But, there are some other players who'd create a real buzz here. Although they might not be proven or the most highly touted as NFL ready, there are a few players who would get people going. My list is:

     

    Tim Tebow

    Colt McCoy

    Dez Bryant

    Mt. Cody

     

    I have a feeling Mr. Brandon is going to put on the full court press for one of these guys. Gotta fill the seats!

    Nix's top nine players

    Out of that list, the two that will most likely fall to us that I like are morgan and trent williams. And they weren't exactly the ones I liked a lot in the begining. I say take trent williams if he is there, because we seem to need him more. But I wouldn't complain if we took morgan. The guy looks pretty close to a sure thing.

     

    Also, I don't think Braford, okung, Suh, and Mcoy would be on his list since there it is just expected they won't be there.

     

    For what it's worth, I had a dream that we drafted Derrick Morgan last night. I really need to start thinking about something other than the draft!

    So much for a second for Lynch

    Per ESPN Insider:

     

    Update: Bills GM Buddy Nix threw some cold water on these allegedly hot rumors. "All this trade talk isn't coming from us," he said, per Sal Maiorana of the Democrat and Chronicle. Not a straight-up denial, but it does cast a little doubt.

     

    Back in March, there was a rumor that a "former Pro Bowl RB" was going to be traded this offseason. Some people pegged Marion Barber in that spot, but we always stuck with either Marshawn Lynch, Willis McGahee or Clinton Portis as the mystery man. On Tuesday, we speculated that with the signing of two other RBs within the past week, the Buffalo Bills were now even more likely to trade Lynch.

     

    Now the rumor has become somewhat official, as Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Bills will be "entertaining offers" for Lynch heading into next week's draft. Furthermore, Robinson's sources indicate that the team is ready to pull the trigger on a deal if the return package involves a second-round pick. The team mentioned in the report as possibly being interested is the Seattle Seahawks.

     

    On the surface, a Lynch for a second-rounder deal wouldn't seem to make sense given Lynch's declining play and bad behavior off the field. On the other hand, Robinson notes that Lynch does have a relationship with current Seahawks RB Justin Forsett (they were teammates at Cal), so perhaps Forsett could help rein him in. If he could, they'd be getting a first-round talent in exchange for the 60th overall pick. It's also possible that the Bills would send a lower pick out to Seattle in Lynch's carry-on luggage.

     

    He's 23 for god sakes. How can you judge a 3 year body of work like that!? The guy isnt 33, he's 23.

    A Few Thoughts About Drafting A Left Tackle.....

    I'm not convinced any of the Top Talent OT's, will be great LT's in the NFL. Are you? The past drafts have had guys that are "Can't miss" type guys, everything I've read shows that Okung will be good not great, and the two that have the potential to be great, lack the work ethic. I want a player who has the work ethic to be great, and studies hard, and appreciates what the game will give him. I don't see that in the top OT's. I see it in round two.

     

    some guy named big mike aka Michael Oher was considered a late 1st or early 2nd rounder and he's emerged as the best tackle prospect from 09. Let's not drink the kiper mcshay kool aid just yet

    Starting CB

    I have heard a lot of praise for Drayton Florence's play while Leodis was out last year, but I wasn't all that impressed. With that being said, is there a chance Leodis loses his job to Florence? Leodis seems to lack in the awareness category but he's an athletic freak. Drayton is a little slower but seems to know where he needs to be. Who do you guys think/want starting at CB and nickel?
