Rob's House Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Last year the Bills solidified the interior w/ Wood and Levitre. This year, take 2 OTs early. You would go into the decade w/ 4 young studs up front who can gel and play together. Then you can feel free to draft "skill" position players til your hearts content and watch the fireworks for the next 10 years. Whatdya Think?

Doc Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Two rookie OT's protecting the QB? No thanks. A LT and a NT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Two rookie OT's protecting the QB? No thanks. A LT and a NT. Do we have a better option for protecting the QB? I'm ok w/ taking a DT in the second (esp if Cody is available) and another OT in the 3rd, or trading up to get 2 2nd rd picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Do we have a better option for protecting the QB? Cornell Green was signed to play RT, and they have Meredith and Bell to compete for that job as well. Putting 2 rooks at OT just begs to get your QB killed.

seadog Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 One will do. With the addition of Green and Bell and Merideth on the roster one of the top 5 rated tackles would do. Question is whom and when. If they wait until the second the top rated guys will be gone, but the tackle position is deep and they could find a starter as late as the third round, but should'nt wait that long to pick one. I'm wondering if they should pick up another guard for insurance of Wood or if they move Wood to center and guard does'nt have much depth on our roster now. I'm still baffeled by the Incognito move as he would have been the starter for the next 5 years and would have made the Wood transition to center easier. Now the dolphins have their steam roller to open holes in our suspect DL. Is Seth Mcinney still on our roster? Not that it much matters just wondering?

Red Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Two rookie OT's protecting the QB? No thanks. A LT and a NT. YES! LT at #9, and either trade up again into the late 1st or pick the best NT available at pick #41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 The Simulator at DraftTek now has this, which already takes this week's 2 signings into account.

Bill from NYC Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Again, they already have Meredith and Bell. Neither is a credible NFL OT, and I am being extremely kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazed and Amuzed Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I like where you're going with this rob but since we're switching to a 3-4 we have priorities on the other side of the ball as well. One can just as easily(and I like this idea better) say Draft a DT, OLB and a DE in the first 3 rounds and our defense would be solid for years to come.

Bob in STL Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Cornell Green was signed to play RT, and they have Meredith and Bell to compete for that job as well. Putting 2 rooks at OT just begs to get your QB killed. It does .. just like last year with Bell, Chambers, Scott, Meredith and Ramsey all "trying" to play tackle. We will most likely draft a LT in round one, and a RT in the middle rounds. The RT sits on the bench, Green and Meredith battle it out for starting RT. Bell backs up at LT. We have a long way to go ... why get a new QB killed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 You get an OT early, let Green start, and see if Green and Meredith can develop. Remember, Meredith was a rook last season. Players tend to make a big jump between years 1 and 2. Both of those guys are young and are perfectly ok manning the backup OT spots. Ideally, the Bills need to grab an OT early, then grab an OG and a G/C prospect in the mid to late rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is going to be Dan Williams and the best available OT left in round 2. If Berry, Spiller, Bryant, and a bunch of other defenders go in the middle rounds the Bills might be enticed to trade back up into the first round for a falling OT if there is one.

sharper802 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Neither is a credible NFL OT, and I am being extremely kind. You don't know that. Bell played well against NE before he got hurt. He played hurt most of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 You don't know that. Bell played well against NE before he got hurt. He played hurt most of the year. But I do know that he is small, relatively weak, and heavily penalized. He probably doesn't belong in the NFL, but I guess we will find out in camp.

Hate to be negative, I appreciate your enthusiasm during the offseason, but I hate this mock draft, hate it. We're drafting a DT who's a late 1st round prospect, and than following it up with an OT in the early second that is a 3rd round prospect. We've reached on players enough in the past, please no more.
