Beerball Posted March 11, 2010 Author Posted March 11, 2010 "Quarterback Zac Robinson, who by most accounts had a solid outing at the NFL combine, threw again for scouts Wednesday. Robinson said a shoulder injury that he suffered on Nov. 14 against Texas Tech has healed. Robinson was overshadowed during his career by other standout Big 12 Conference quarterbacks including Oklahoma's Sam Bradford and Texas' Colt McCoy but is hopeful an NFL team will take a chance on him. "It was just a matter of getting my strength back in my ... shoulder and just letting it rip like I used to," Robinson said. "They said they saw everything they needed and I feel really good about it. I've just got to keep working." So, Zac in the 6th round?? Aaaaaaak, the world will come to an end! Robinson, who by the end of the 2009 season was hampered by shoulder and ankle injuries, spent several weeks working in California with former Buffalo Bills quarterback Rob Johnson.
Fingon Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 According to "the chart" The Bills 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at least. No one uses the chart anymore. It doesn't take into account player salaries in the value of picks.
mob16151 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Aaaaaaak, the world will come to an end! Meh Mark Sanchez did the same thing last year as well.
Delete This Account Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Want. Hearing that the Lions really, REALLY like him, though. but he's not a receiver. how can that be? jw
Lori Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 but he's not a receiver. how can that be? jw Hahaha. Because my Nittany Lion homeboy Matt Millen isn't there any more, of course.
Steely Dan Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Aaaaaaak, the world will come to an end! I think Johnson could be a very good coach. I don't recall mechanics being a problem for him, it had more to do with his lack of size and intangibles. JMO
spartacus Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 his character issues are troublesome, I dont think nix would risk a 1st rd pick on a guy like that. yeah- we usually take our gun-toting WRs in the 2nd round the 1st round is reserved for gun-toting thug RBs
Thurman#1 Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Okung won't fall. Sure hope we aren't trading up. Would rather take Bulaga or trade down. 95% chance you're right that he won't fall, but weird things happen occasionally. I'd rather Buddy was prepared in case he somehow does manage to fall.
Thurman#1 Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 No one uses the chart anymore. It doesn't take into account player salaries in the value of picks. They still use it. They just have a very legitimate argument to raise/lower their demands based on salaries. But the other team has just as legit an argument saying "Hey, the chart is about percentage chance of success. If you want your guy, you have to pay the salary."
Thurman#1 Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 In the world of possibilities, if the Bills traded up with the Lions, how many picks would they have to give up to do so? Google "nfl draft pick value chart" or just go here: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft06/news/story?id=2410670 Our pick, #9, is worth 1350, and the Lions pick, #2, is worth 2600. We would (theoretically) have to make up 1250 points. And that's not possible, even using all of our draft picks this year: #41 = 490 #73 = 225 #105 = 84 #137 = 37.5 #169 = 24.8 #201 = 12 #233 = 2.1 All of our remaining picks would only 875.4. And no way are we stupid enough to trade away all our picks. The bottom line is that only if the Lions are highly motivated would they take any offer we made. The deals start to be mathematically possible according to the chart when it gets to pick #5 (1700 points) or even maybe pick #4 (1800 points). If we do trade up, that would be where it starts to be realistic to do so.
tennesseeboy Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 The ONLY guy worth giving up draft picks for buffalo to draft is Suh...and I can't even imagine how many first or second round picks it would take to get him. I think we stay where we are and get the best OT that falls to us of the five blue chippers in the pool this year.
