bills_fan Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Can't argue with the 1st LT off the board.
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Can't argue with the 1st LT off the board. Agreed, and leaves a guy like Mallet or Snead on the board for them in the 2nd.
aristocrat Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 we draft left tackle, solidify our line. pick up a linebacker in the 2nd
mob16151 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Agreed, and leaves a guy like Mallet or Snead on the board for them in the 2nd. Just say no to that guy.
GrudginglyPessimistic Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Interesting mock in that like the draft which saw the Bills take Whitner at #8 this draft has two safeties going in the first ten picks. Though a loud conventional wisdom expressed on TSW was that you never spend a top 10 on a safety, this draft has the first LT dropping to the Bills at #6 because two safties go in the top 5 (since they state DB Berry is am Ed Reed type I assume they have him pegged at safety. Even a fan like me who realizes this ain't your Grandma's NFL anymore after safeties Sanders and Polamalu played a central role in leading their teams to SB victories I think that the NFL has clearly demonstrated that a top 10 safety pick is actually the norm these days. However, 1 safety picks in the top 5 is a bit rich for my blood and I doubt the Bills get a shot at the first LT off the board.
Mickey Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 i want locker or tebow. justy no to tebow now locker, thats a guy i'd trade up for
Bill from NYC Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Mays is going to be a beast... Not unless he plays on a team with a decent front 7 in front of him.
High Mark Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 i want locker or tebow. 14 JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: TIM TEBOW, QB, FLORIDA Scouting Report Surprised? Crazier things have happened on Draft Day and I am really starting to believe that someone will select Florida’s Tim Tebow much earlier than they should. Remember, it only takes one team. That quote just screamed Maybin to me. Okung is the best pass protector by far in college. Reminds me of Joe Thomas without the height. He leaves much to be desireded as a run blocker though.
thebandit27 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 justy no to tebow now locker, thats a guy i'd trade up for I know a lot of people feel that way, but I would never bet against that guy...I think he'll surprise people once he gets to the NFL.
thebandit27 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Agreed, and leaves a guy like Mallet or Snead on the board for them in the 2nd. I do like that he rebounded from back-to-back poor performances against Florida and Ole Miss (ranked #2 and #23 in the nation in pass defense, respectively) with dynamite performances against Eastern Michigan (3rd in nation in pass defense) and S. Carolina (7th in pass defense). My question is: will he come out as a third-year sophomore, and will this team be patient enough to let him develop as he needs to?
Red Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Man, all of this drafting a QB talk is way too premature. It will do no good to have Tom Brady or one of the Manning's under center if he is always on his arse. The Bills need an offensive line. I like Wood, Hangartner, Levitre, and Butler. McKinney is good depth. I hope that Meredith and Bell do mature into starting offensive tackles for the Bills, but neither should be starting right now. Chambers is horrible. I'm not too fond of Scott. Right now, with losing Chambers and Scott and having both MEredith and Bell on the #2 roles at the tackle positions, the depth would be ok. This would also give a project like Bell time to mature and grow into the position. But a real LT (I would draft #1 this year on a LT), and perhaps a later round RT and/or free agent would help round out the line. Any other focus other than the line would be a colossal mistake (that includes picks for the secondary).
tomc702 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 great post.....but it's gotten so bad that, after 8 weeks of one season we're already discussing next season's draft......the NFL needs to step in and do something about the bills' ownership situation - waiting until this one is dead is NOT a good strategy for the fan base....

They also need big players on the front 7 or teams will continue to run at will.

I agree with just about everything you said except I think Butler could be our RT (he woudl have been this year if not for injury) and play well enough to be decent to good. Draft the best OL'men in the draft with your 1st pick, possibly a QB if there is a decent one there with your 2nd pick, or a starting caliber LB (Poz, Mitchell, Ellison just arent cutting it). But all this means absolutely nothing if we still have the same FO, Coachs, Scouts making the picks.

You voted for Obama didn't you. Wilson paid for the team that's why he owns it hence he calls the shots I didn't know Blue was a communists color.
