FutureBillsGM Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 I don't think this is very accurate but if this were the real draft which option do you like best? Or is there another order you'd like? I'd say #2 followed closely by #1. Trent Williams T Oklahoma Brian Bulaga T Iowa Colt McCoy QB Texas Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma Brian Bulaga T Iowa Rodderick Muckelroy LB Texas Rolando McClain LB Alabama Tony Pike QB Cincinatti Dan Williams DT Tennesee http://football.realgm.com/src_wiretap_arc...aft_version_40/
ProjectPat Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 I like option 3. McClains a monster. I don't see Golden Tate from ND on his board. I think Tate's at least a 2nd rounder, maybe even the 1st. Reminds me of Steve Smith from Carolina, same type of firery attitude aswell.
Acantha Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 It doesn't address Oline, which is a big deal, but IMO #3 gives us the most talent on the field. Our defense would be very tough, and if Maybin makes a year 2 jump it could be top 5 in the league. Even though I've been pushing Pike for the last 4 months, I think we'd be better off in the long run with McClain, Bulaga, Williams (if I'm sticking to only using the players listed here).
Max997 Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 I dont like McCoy or Bradford....I do like Pike though Im going out on a limb and saying the Bills draft the OT from Maryland that just declared for the draft today, I believe his name is Bruce Campbell and McShay has him as a first round pick
bills_red Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Dan Williams has blown up, he could go midd. 1 now. He is a 3 down NT.
Estro Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Any scenario where we end up with Rolando McLain and I'd be real happy. LB'ers are arguably our worst unit and McLain is a beast. Fast, Strong, NFL body, played against the best competition and excelled. I know our o-line stinks too, but the Bills talent evaluation regarding the offensive line has been questionable to say the least, so taking a top 10 tackle would make me nervous. If we were to clean house perhaps my perception would change, but we haven't cleaned house yet so I remain against drafting o-line high in the 1st round. We need to get tougher and stronger and McLain would be a big help to us. A true MLB, and would also allow Poz to shift outside where he would be a better fit. I'm not a fan of Poz as a MLB at all. He's much too slow to cover all the ground required so if drafting McLain improves Poz via a positional change.........all the better. I'm wondering how the draft gurus will grade out McLain. Does anyone know where they're pegging him to currently go in the 1st round? When it's all said and done I think he goes very high and I'd love to have a shot at him. BTW is he related to LaRon of the Ravens, I believe LaRon also attended Alabama?

This is a great article about the guy. If you weren't sold on him by now, I bet you will be after you read it. Lord knows I hope we do the right thing and draft this guy if he's there.
frogger Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Bradford, Bryan Bulaga, and Dan Williams might result in what people would call a great draft.
outsidethebox Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 If we still have the same clowns running the draft as we have had the past few years, it won't matter who we draft, it will be a reach at a position that is not a weakness on the team. I have ZERO faith in this management team!
Fastro Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 I am probably in the minority here but I would rather have the Bills draft the best available linemen first and worry about a QB later in the draft or even next year. It's hard to throw a ball when you are lying on the ground with a 300 lb D lineman on your chest. If the Bills can get an O line to stay healthy and develop for a whole season, then it would allow the FO and coaching staff to truly evaluate the QBs on the roster. It will also give the new coaching staff a chance to implement their system and for the team to adapt. Their is something to besaid for having the same system in place for 10 years like the Colts or Pats instead of making widespread changes every 2-3 years.
DanInUticaTampa Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Option 3 would rock if we can sign at least one good tackle in FA. We would still have to draft another tackle in the 4th though.
