Coach Tuesday Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/04/23/t...in-bills-plans/ Wondering who they were targeting? Dan Williams?
nodnarb Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 That would be my guess. I thought we'd take him at 9. Either him or D Thomas maybe.

Brandon Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 I think it may have been Demaryius Thomas, hoping to add even more playmaking ability to the offense. And I don't think that will be their last major attempt at it in this draft, either.

And I don't think that will be their last major attempt at it in this draft, either. I am thinking it was Thomas also. It's possible it could have been Buluga too but I would put money on it that it was either Thomas or Williams.
Deep2Moulds46 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 The fact that they tried to move up but their player was gone tells me they had/have no intention of taking a QB that high.
26CornerBlitz Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/04/23/t...in-bills-plans/ Wondering who they were targeting? Dan Williams? Good guess, he'd have been a great late 1st round pick for the Bills.

And I don't think that will be their last major attempt at it in this draft, either. God I hope not. We have a plethora of young, unproven talent at the WR position and really need to address the offensive and defensive line before there's a serious drop-off in talent.
Dan Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Sounds like Nix trying to save face to me. Either that or he's the best smokescreen blower in the league. It was widely reported yesterday that the Bills were going to get a QB in round 1. It twas widely reported that they were very high on Tebow. The moment Tebow was picked, you had all the inside sources saying Buffalo was heartbroken, crestfallen even. I'm thinking they got into a bidding war to move up and lost. Denver gave up A LOT to get Tebow. I'm glad they didn't mortgage the draft for one player. But, if you were in his shoes, you'd be trying to save a little face as well.

Maybe they did get into a bidding war at that position, but who says for sure that it was for Tebow? That may have been inferred by the press.

You think Nix of full of it but accept everyone's reports as gospel? If Nix isn't telling reproters what he's doing then where do they get it from? I'll tell you: from each other. It goes around enough times it becomes a "fact". Just because everyone thinks the Bills want a QB doesn't make it a fact. PTR

It's certainly a well known fact that the national "insiders" have little knowledge of the Bills franchise. So, I don't take what they say at face value. But, I'd suggest you can't take a GM's comments at face value either; especially in the middle of the draft with moves and picks still to be made.
HansLanda Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Tebow was one name Nevergiveup had NEVER mentioned as being on the radar.
The Avenger Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Good Lord he sounds like Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove when he talks.........

There's a difference b/w saving face, and telling a bold-faced lie. If that is what happened, I would think Nix would be coy about it, not flat out lie about it.
symbiant Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Sounds like Nix trying to save face to me. Or maybe the draft isn't over yet and he doesn't want to tip his hand on what he wants
truth on hold Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 I think it may have been Demaryius Thomas, hoping to add even more playmaking ability to the offense. And I don't think that will be their last major attempt at it in this draft, either. I dont think there was any chance it was Thomas. Spiller is a high impact offensive player, they wont go for 2 in Rd 1. And Spiller is also an effective WR. I think they want to see what they have with Evans, Hardy and others this year before adding a high profile WR. Had to have been Williams ... NT is the one gigantic glaring hole if they want to play 3-4
LABills08 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 I found it interesting too re: trying to move up. I imagine they were thinking of moving up for Williams too. Thomas wouldn't have surprised me either and he went earlier than expected you know? Bulaga I don't think was an option. I don't think he was highly valued by the Bills.
DarthICE Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Guys, Never give up said we would try to possibly move back up to get Thomas. He flat told us about Spiller so I have to presume he is right on Thomas. Too bad, we would actually have TWO weapons on offense that teams would have to respect.
