buffalo_bills Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Since he has not yet drafted a QB or OT in rounds 1-3, im sure he has a plan to somehow build this line, and find a franchise QB. There is just no way he would pick a rb, a NT and DE, without any plans to build the line or for a QB. I think we will all be pleasently surprised in the near future
cliffordhicks Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 have you seen us stop the run??? we cant. 2 picks today will go a long way to helping that. nice!
boyst Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 have you seen us stop the run??? we cant. 2 picks today will go a long way to helping that. nice! Precisely. People forget our problems on defense wanting us to score 100 points a game. Also, listening to the draft on the radio, there is a reason there have been mostly defensive players drafted - they are better prospects.

The only reason people could forget the bad defense is because the offense is even worse. AND BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hear that BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The games SUCK TO WATCH, because NOTHING HAPPENS when the Bills have the ball. NOTHING. For years now. I believe that they are choosing the best guys available. That's fine.

buffalo_bills Posted April 24, 2010 Author Posted April 24, 2010 Not sure there is a QB in the plan for this year. Jason Cambell is still on the block...i wouldnt mind trading a 5th for him.
shrader Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Not sure there is a QB in the plan for this year. Yeah, the plan for finding a franchise QB is to wait until next year's draft.
Phlegm Alley Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 The Bills have so many holes and there are only so many quality players they can find in 7 rounds. I think QB gets filled next year as well.
ax4782 Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 I fully expect that the round four pick will be an OL, most likely a tackle. If Bruce Campbell is there I'd like to get him, but he was a one year wonder at MD and Nix is not fond of one year production players. Not sure who the pick will be, but should be a tackle. However, keep this in mind. Levitre played LT for three years in college. Hangartner's natual position is G. Don't be surprised to see the Bills take a C, perhaps Ted Larson from NCSU, who won the Jim Ritcher award to play center. That would allow them to move Hangartner to G, and move Levitre over to LT. D. Bell then becomse the LT back up, and can work on getting bigger and improving his technique. Jamon Meredith and Cornell Gree can fight for the starting job at RT, and Eric Wood starts at center. Just a thought. Also, there are still good OL and skill players left. This was a very deep draft, and most of the players taken in the first four rounds have a higher percentage chance of becoming solid NFL starters.
tonyd19 Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Jason Cambell is still on the block...i wouldnt mind trading a 5th for him. Jason Campbell could not do anything with a lot of talent around him. he is not the answer.
Picnic Table F'er Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Jason Campbell could not do anything with a lot of talent around him. he is not the answer. Well... he can do something. For example, he could make our team worse. That is something.
WellDressed Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 have you seen us stop the run??? we cant. 2 picks today will go a long way to helping that. nice! Yes sir!! We can't win games if we can't stop the opposing team from scoring.
WellDressed Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Jason Cambell is still on the block...i wouldnt mind trading a 5th for him. I wholeheartedly believe that CG can make one of our three QB's into a solid starter. We just need something to line up next to our left guard.
Cash Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 100 points! how about a effing touchdown! The only reason people could forget the bad defense is because the offense is even worse. AND BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hear that BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The games SUCK TO WATCH, because NOTHING HAPPENS when the Bills have the ball. NOTHING. For years now. I believe that they are choosing the best guys available. That's fine. Thank you. I can't believe how many people are THRILLED about going heavy on D, and want more, more, more of the same. That's great, as long as you're not forced to watch the games. How about an offense that can chain together multiple first downs on a fairly consistent basis? Or one that can SCORE AN OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN MORE THAN ONCE A GAME. That's not too much to ask. If you're going to suck, which describes the Bills for the last 10 years and also next year, can't you at least be entertaining in the process? Those crappy Bledsoe teams were at least fun to watch. Watching this team the last few years, I wanted to blow my brains out in the 2nd half of almost every game. Even some of the wins were soul-draining and pure agony to watch for most of the game. I just don't get it. These people are fantasizing about rebuilding the 2000 Ravens. That's the fantasy? The best you can imagine? Not the 70s Steelers (HoF QB), 80s 49ers (HoF QB), 90s Bills or Cowboys (HoF QBs), or 2000s Patriots or Colts (Future HoF QBs)? No, let's aim for a team that's unwatchable on one side of the ball, and hope we pick up a Trent Dilfer type who can complete 1 long pass a game. Oh wait, I forgot: We've got THE PLAYMAKER now. Spiller will be good for 1-2 touchdowns a game all by himself. He's so fast that our crappy OTs will play really well! And stacking the box won't work against him, because have you seen his 40 time? I take it back, our offense will be gangbusters.

Geno Smith's Arm Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 . I can't believe how many people are THRILLED about going heavy on D It's the old "Defense wins championships" chestnut. If people prefer a team that is more known for defense, I'm fine with that. You still need to score. This team can't, and it demoralizes THE DEFENSE (as in "let's go out there and get our heads bashed, our knees twisted, and our bones crushed, to get the ball back for the offense, knowing that there is a slim to none chance of winning, or making the playoffs, or even scoring a touchdown". Not to mention that the defense spends way to much time on the field, defending poor field positions. A DECENT (meaning not insufferable) offense is needed for a defense to take over a game.
Geno Smith's Arm Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Yes sir!! We can't win games if we can't stop the opposing team from scoring. Yes we can! We can score more than they do! What you can't do, is win games if YOU don't score!
Bleed Bills Blue Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Here's what some are forgetting: On offense, Chan Gailey > Skeletor+Doughboy. The offensive plan at OBD is based partly on the conviction that the talent we have is not as bad as it looked last year, and that Chan will be able to do more with it than Dick Jauron ever could. No, it will not be a juggernaut, but it won't need to be. With an improved D, turn only a few field goals into touchdowns and our record is much better. I believe as the season progresses we will find this to have been a sound plan.
