Awesome article. Felt like I sat down with Nix. I'm also glad the goal for Williams is to be a starting corner on the squad. Still hate the Searcy pick, with the other talent on the board but it's really hard to criticize when 7/9 picks were outstanding. I hope Searcy makes me eat my words.

I hope so. I hope he can make the plays that Lil' Donte never could. Plays in, around and behind the LOS.

Marcellosaurus!!!!

Incorrect. Don't confuse me with the idiot posters that say we have "depth" or a "strength" in our secondary. We don't and we don't. We have a very underrated Safety in Wilson and then Byrd. If Aaron Williams plays FS than what do we do with Byrd? You can't put Williams, Searcy, and Byrd on the field at the same time. If Williams doesn't play Safety and can play at a position where we have a huge need, CB then the Searcy picks makes some sense as a lil' Donte replacement. Still there were better players that met a more immediate need than picking up a 3rd, 4th, or 5th Safety. Right now this looks like a bad pick.

I hate this pick. DJ Williams was the no brainer in the 5th and I was an advocate for not drafting a TE but picking one up in Free Agency but when the draft gods hand you a gift in 5th you take it. Green Bay knows how to use the TE and will have some nice two TE sets with Finely and Williams. I'll be watching DJ Williams for years thinking we could have had him for a 5th long after White is cut. I hate the Searcy pick and this pick. I also don't understand how Jason Pinkston was not BPA there. This is a major reach, you can bring a 3rd RB in through FA and DJ Williams could have played Special Teams too. Don't get me wrong overall the draft was good but making poor picks at 100 and 133 dropped turned from a Grand Slam to a triple.

I hope Searcy is the next Polamalu and can stay healthy but just for posterity sack here is a list of players the Bills could have had instead of Searcy: 5(102) Cameron, J. TE USC CLE 6(103) Acho, S. DE TEX ARI 7(104) Stocker, L. TE TENN TB(T) 9(106) Ballard, C. DT IOWA MIN 12(109) McCarthy, C. ILB MIA TEN 16(113) Chekwa, C. CB OHST OAK 19(116) Matthews, C. ILB ORE PHI(T) 20(117) Brewer, J. OT IND NYG Pick 100 and 133 I hate the rest of the draft the Bills' done good for a change. However I hated the Byrd pick too FWIW

At no point in time have I or anyone on this thread proposed need over BPA. I have proposed the 9 players listed are BPA over Searcy and also meet a need.

Interesting indeed.

4-7 round is not nobodies and never will-be's. It's the top 200 football players in college football. If you treat it like novodies and never will be's then you get to be a perennial top12 picking team.

That's NG Well that's some Beef in the Middle. This guy will clOg the middle if he makes the team. He probably would have been better suited as a UDFA but I guess we don't get those this year.

More BS. You haven't watched him 15 times after the injury. Just quit dude, you don't have to make stuff up now. He has first round talent but talent alone doesn't keep you on the field. Let's just leave at that.

Well atleast they got the top of the draft right. Rounds 1-3=A Rounds 4-7 C I like the Hariston pick. But here is a list of players I would have rather had than Searcy any of which would have made me more comfortable than I am. 5(102) Cameron, J. TE USC CLE 6(103) Acho, S. DE TEX ARI 7(104) Stocker, L. TE TENN TB(T) 9(106) Ballard, C. DT IOWA MIN 12(109) McCarthy, C. ILB MIA TEN 16(113) Chekwa, C. CB OHST OAK 19(116) Matthews, C. ILB ORE PHI(T) 20(117) Brewer, J. OT IND NYG Inparticular Ballard fits right into line behind the Williams wall. McCarthy gets a chance to be a tackling machine. Brewer is another guy, a wouldn't have minded taking two tackles in the 4th, because right now Hariston looks like a developmental LT not a Day 1 RT. Not anything against Searcy but with Byrd and Scott and maybe Williams S is probably last on the list not to mention Lil' Donte. Don't get me started on Rodgers and White. WTF? White, a smaller, slower Spiller. Genius! Then don't you just Feel that Nix and company were just taunting the fans with White, "Not another DB you say? I'll show you who's boss." Atleast Finish out with the feel good Herzlich to pull a day 3 D to a C. We got Roswell right down the road and we need LBs. Do the right thing Buddy. Edit: Okay now we got some major Beef in the middle. Holy cow that Jasper guy is huge. If he makes the team and can play, there is no question where he fits on the field. Right in-between Dareus and Williams. Ok freak out over. Day 3 gets a C. Go Bills!

He is first round talent at what point in time do you google for 30 seconds before blasting a bs pos post? He has a scary neck and back injury that appears all 32 teams think is too much To risk. Correction, the Saints, who are winning the draft, may get the steal of the century if he is healthy.

I concur. McElroy and Jessie Palmer on ESPN College Gameday. McElroy seems like a 10 year studio host vet in front of the camera guy is a natural.

I'm calling Romeaus or Herzlich with the first 7th McElroy with second 7th- The wonderlic twins will unite to form the highest QB wonderlic score in NFL history

You don't get a report card but you do receive a grade when you complete a project. The Bills get an A on Day 1 and Day 2 of this project.

Yeah but some guy somewhere with a 6 pack said he should be a 4th round pick, so he sucks. ;-)

C- or D+ when Bell looks great in 2011 it will be a solid C

I agree with Acho. He can develop behind Merriman and help our pitiful special teams in the meantime. The lack of depth at LB and TE has hurt our special teams coverage. Brewer or Ziemba should be the other 4th. If those are the 2 picks I'd be jumping for joy.

Kelvin Sheppard will not be dragged 5 yards down the field like another ILB on this team. If Sheppard pans out to his full potential he will end up being a team captain and elevate the Defense. Worse case he becomes a tacking machine, dude will clean up any ball carriers that get through.

Mike Mayock had him as the 4th best ILB. Don't be confused this is not a reach Sheppard had a 2nd round grade by most.

Picks 1-3 = A Got the best defender in the draft, 1st round CB in the 2nd and 2nd round LB in the 3rd. Dareus and Sheppard are run stuffer to the extreme and Aaron Williams isnt afraid to make tackles. If he works out at CB the draft goes A+ if he is moved to FS draft moves to a B+. All 3 players have very little bust potential. First time in awhile I can rest easy after the draft.

You realize you list the reasons why its a smart pick, Then call it moronic; right?

If you mean Bowers, how do you not understand that he has no knee and the entire NFL has based on him, and is likely to pass on him again. The only position Bowers is going to fill is IR.

+1 You people need to chill. McDainBramage doesn't get it and McGee is showing his age. Who was going to play CB in 2011? Chris Kelsay?
