Fairley, Peterson, and Green....all presumably the best draft prospects at their respective positions.
-
Jerod Mayo....1st team ILB?? Am I missing something?
-
Steve Young is black?
I never knew.
Actually...Steve Young is Octoroon....1/8 black. How else can you explain his running ability?
-
They said he was a situational player when they took him ...
Well maybe situational at first as they worked him into the offense, but.....ah screw it!! I will appeal to the masses on this message board, and stop defending the Spiller draft choice. Okay...he's a bust and a terrible waste of a draft pick. We might as well trade him for a 4th rounder while we have the chance.
-
Of course not....that's what the #11 overall pick is for.
LOL...I agree with the sentiment, but I highly doubt that Buddy & Chan's plan for Spiller was to be a situational player. They knew Lynch was not included in their rebuilding plan. I think they envisioned him as sharing the workload (rushing) with Jackson, and being more heavily involved in the passing game. It's funny how things work out sometimes.

BIG difference between Maybin and Miller.
Miller has been performing at a high level for close to 4 years...with the last two seasons in a row being considered stellar.
Maybin only had one season of decent college level play.
I'd prefer a guy like Fairley or Dareus with our #3 pick, but I wouldn't complain over Miller.
Having watched several of Miller's games, including the bowl game, I would say that my biggest concern would be his lack of size and strength to defend against the run in the NFL. Another criticism of Miller would be his inconsistency with playing to the whistle....he often looks lazy giving up on plays. IMO...he has not demonstrated the ability to be a solid run defender in college. That being said...I doubt that he could be an "every down" linebacker. No doubt, he is an exceptional pass rusher and has established a body of work. The question is...do we draft a "situational" player with the #3 overall pick? I think not.
-
Von Miller at #3?
I believe there would be mass riots at OBD. I, for one, would probably kick my cat and throw my TV remote through the window.

If the Bills let Florence and Whitner walk and then have to waste their #1 pick on a hopeful replacement, that would be a sign that the Bills are just going to dwell at the bottom of the league as usual. You don't build a winner by constantly trying to replace your few good players because they leave. You need to keep them so you can build up talent at other positions. Frankly, I'd rather see Green than Peterson, but really if the the Bills don't go DL or QB with the top pick, I'll be disappointed.
Agreed that a lot hinges on what they decide to do with Drayton Florence. If they let him walk, we are left with a huge hole in the secondary. McGee is oft-injured, surely on the down slope of his career. McLovin shows huge potential at times, but is too inconsistent and makes too many mistakes to be our "shut-down" guy. Youbody, Corner, and the rest....who knows.
Morale of the story....make sure to re-sign Florence. If not, Peterson may be a decent choice in round one (IF he makes it past Denver).
-
I don't care if the Bills could have gone back in time and brought in Buddy Ryan (in his prime) to be defensive coordinator. With the transition to the 3-4, and the lack of talent, he likely would have had similar results. Give Edwards a chance.
-
Thank you very much for the enlightment. Who cares if he gains weight, we need someone behind troup to take up space.
Could we trade down and get Upshaw and Mighty D and a first pick at Luck next year?
-
if we could trade down 3-4 spots and pickup an extra 2nd this would be a great deal to get some talent on this team. say the browns love aj green and would give us their 1st and 2nd for the 3rd pick and we still get dareus while giving us an extra 2nd to get another lb or right tackle.
Don't let the pre-draft rankings fool you, after the combine and other workouts, Dareus will likely be picked in the top five.
-
I need a Samoan!! Reminds me of a certain Family Guy episode
-
Yep, and that is why we might as well gamble and pick a QB. Or ideally. trade down before we take one of those fat bums (DLs named Bowers or Quinn or Dareus). What a year to finish with the 3rd pick.
Do you even watch college football? Dareus, Bowers, & Quinn are "fat bums?"
-
Wow. Thanks for posting. I've bever seen the opposite of a highlight reel before.
Von Miller is not what this team needs. -
They are set on McCoy, trust me
Mike Holmgren? Is that you?
-
I think in judging QBs many Bills fans judge the grass always being greener elsewhere. Tebow would have been our savior but to do this ignores the fact that with our OL and with our D keeping the O off the field and on its heels likely the same O problems Tebow had would happened here (and likely would have been worse.
I think that basically almost any vet would have done better than a rookie with our O (except maybe Bradford who I think is the real deal but he likely would have been far worse here than he was if we had him). Fitzy is likely not our answer for the future but I think he performed better here than we would have with any of the rookie QBs.

I can't wait for Brady and the Pats to destroy the Jets tomorrow. Mind you...I hate both of these teams with a passion, but I just can't stand the Jets. Loud mouth fat azz coach, douchebag "my **** don't stink" QB. I just despise them.
Cromartie is going to get owned all day long.
-
I don't know about Cleveland, they seem set on McCoy, I see them getting a veteran QB in FA before drafting another one early
I don't think they're set on McCoy, I just think he was better than Jake Delhomme (which isn't saying much). Let's be honest here...McCoy played okay, but he didn't exactly "light up the stat sheet." I wouldn't be shocked if Holmgren pulled the trigger on a QB at the #6 spot...especially if AJ Green is off the board.
8 games...74.5 QB rating, 60.8 completion% 6 TD's 9 INT's

They will ALL be on offensive cooridinator #2 for next season.
Tebow, Clausen, and McCoy all lost their HCs and Bradfords OC left town to take over in Cleveland. This always seems to be a "scape goat" excuse as to why a certain QB never developed - like Jason Campbell and our own Losman and Edwards.
It may be interesting to see how each improves/regresses from this year to next.
Tebow and McCoy both showed promise toward the end of the season. Clausen just never had a chance to succeed, playing in that putrid offense. It will be interesting to see what happens with them. I suspect that Carolina will draft a QB early to compete with Clausen. Same with Cleveland.

Love, Cannon and Sherrod are guys that have good value 34th pick. I also don’t think Soldier is very good at all, and neither is Coztanza really. Carimi is the cream of this crop and should be gone in the top half of the draft I should think.
I seem to have very different opinions of these tackles than most. I personally don’t think any one of them is a NFL LT. I think Soldier and Coztansa are the clear-cut worst of the group yet they tend to be ranked 1 or 2. I also don’t really like Sherrod and he is another getting a lot of talk as a top T too. Cannon I think if pretty darn good but a lot of people think he has to shift inside to G. One guy I haven’t heard anyone else talk about it James Carpenter from Alabama. I think he would start at RT or G for us next year and may be the best T altogether honestly. I haven’t heard anyone thinking of him as a 3rd rounder so we could even land him in the 4th.
I just hope we have a chance at some quality guys and we actually take some quality guys unlike other years
Judging by the CBS sports list we could land Love in the 2nd and Carpetender in the late 3rd. Those two paired next to each other on the right side would be an extremely promising sight
That's funny...I have been incredibly impressed with Nate Solder. Granted, I have only seen a couple of Colorado games this season, but he seems to have a great combination of size, speed, and athleticism. He looked pretty technically sound as well. Although, I think his skill set will translate best to LT in the NFL. If we are satisfied with Bell at LT, then a guy like Cannon might be a better pick for us.

Newton will not be our pick. He won't even be the BPA nor is it necessarily a position of need with Fitz's performance this year.
At this time, I am more intrigued by Gabbert than Newton. If our talent evaluators really think that he has the tools to be a special QB in this league, then he may be the pick at #3. I usually don't put much stock into pre-draft player comparisons, but I heard one draft analyst who compared Gabbert's skill set to Matt Ryan's.
-
I would like to see the Bills address the tackle position in either round 2 or 3. I also wouldn't mind adding a beastly guard like Moffit from Wisconsin if he were to slide to the 4th or 5th round. The rest of the draft should be focused on the defensive front 7...IMO. I think we also need to address TE this off season, but I am hoping that we can land one in free agency (Zach Miller, Kevin Boss, Bo Scaife).
-
There's no team insane and dumb enough to trade up for Gabbert. He's not worth it. Not even by a long shot.
I wouldn't be so quick to make that assertion. Gabbert's performance at the combine and other post-season workouts could potentially boost his stock immensely. He's a smart, tough quarterback who possesses great arm strength, has proven to be able to make all the thrown in the NFL, and he is quite mobile. Remember, there are potentially 5-6 teams picking in the top 10 that are in desperate need of a Quarterback. If Gabbert really impresses teams before the draft, it is not inconceivable that one of those teams might want to "leap frog" Arizona at the 5 position. Arizona is very likely to take the best available QB on the board at #5. Also, with a new coach in Cleveland, and Colt McCoy as their starter, it is not ridiculous to think that they would consider drafting a QB that they covet at the #4 spot. All of these scenarios make Buffalo's #3 pick very desirable to these other teams.

Oh yeah, and his history of elbow and shoulder injuries coupled with his recent concussion concerns me.
Actual heights and weights...

Maybe we should try him at WR
