Malazan Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 This sucks. I though Nix said that LT was a need.... Ruined my night listening to this! Drafting a 'name' does not necessarily fix the position. Maybe there is another Mike Williams to anchor our line for the next few years, maybe there is not. I know that Peters is pretty popular here and he was a 1st round pick. No way you can find a good LT outside the first round so why draft one in the third?
KD in CA Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 If I am a QB currently signed with the Bills, am I going to ever get some help? I would think getting on the field more than 24 minutes a game would be a big help.
John Cocktosten Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Another damn good pick for WHAT WE ARE DOING! He doesn't have great lateral quickness or agility to come off the edge as a 4-3 end but is well suited for a five-technique in 3-4 scheme. He is best at the point of attack, anchoring versus the run, and is effective pushing the pocket as a bull rusher Great 3-4 DE and the last I checked we are running a 3-4. Seems the goal right this minute is to get the Defense up to speed ASAP An Arkansas St. season ticket holder too!?!?! You must fly for free!!!!!!!!!!!
fishiewishie Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Don't like pick. Should have taken McCoy or Campbell.
Alaska Darin Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 No more smurfs on defense. Kid is huge and athletic. Nothing not to like about that. Newsflash: All 3rd round picks are projects. That's why they last into the third round.
dave mcbride Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 He's a big dude for a DE, that's for sure. The 2nd and third picks certainly qualify as "big men." Btw, maybe the stuff we've been hearing about the Bills actually liking Demetrius Bell might actually be true.
The Dean Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 For what it's worth, CBSsports.com had Alex rated as the 6th best DE and going in the 2nd round. EDIT: I would have liked Campbell, but I like this guy WAY better than McCoy, for the Bills.
thebug Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Run and stop the run. I f we can stop the run, I'm pretty sure it will be a huge lift for our pass D as well.

Alaska Darin Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Don't like pick. Should have taken McCoy or Campbell. Why? Because YOU've heard of them?
Cash Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Well, unless Spiller gets around 2,000 yards from scrimmage, it looks like another year of horrible offense and mediocre defense. Should be about as exciting as we're accustomed to.
Acantha Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Another damn good pick for WHAT WE ARE DOING! He doesn't have great lateral quickness or agility to come off the edge as a 4-3 end but is well suited for a five-technique in 3-4 scheme. He is best at the point of attack, anchoring versus the run, and is effective pushing the pocket as a bull rusher Great 3-4 DE and the last I checked we are running a 3-4. Seems the goal right this minute is to get the Defense up to speed ASAP And it's a smart move given the holes on offense. I think it's pretty simple, Nix doesn't think the offense players (specifically OL and QB) that are there are good enough to fill the holes. He does think the Defensive players can. Not picking OL or QB doesn't mean the team doesn't care about those positions, only that they don't think the ones that are there are good enough. I don't know much about O-linemen, but I am 100% in agreement about the QB.
bobcat Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 i hope they trade up and draft Campbell before he is gone.Atleast our defensive line has depth,now do something about the oline!!!!

Fingon Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Campbell might last until the Bills pick in the 4th.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 looks like another good pick for the 3 - 4 now we need those LBs

No way you can find a good LT outside the first round so why draft one in the third? I agree. The Bills' plan of only committing late-round and undrafted resources to the OT position has worked like gangbusters for the last 5 years, so why change course now? The message this draft has sent so far is that the offense was 1 "playmaker" away, but the defense needed a lot of work. Half right.
DarthICE Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 If I am a QB currently signed with the Bills, am I ever going to get some pass blocking help? Yeah its call grow a pair of balls, get a !@#$ing clue and learn to read a god damn defense and get rid of the ball on time!!!!!!!
UB Bull Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 How many D-linemen does that make? Carrington, Marcus Stroud, Kyle Williams, Spencer Johnson, Dwan Edwards, Chris Ellis, John McCargo, Chris Kelsay. That's not counting Schobel and Maybin who will likely move to OLB.
