Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Alualu has apparently been vetted as the #10 pick for the Jags. Started every game, 3 1/2 sacks, 30 tackles. Strong motor and big heart > small size evidently. Gosselin's redraft has the Bills spurning Spiller for.....a CB? Joe Haden? If we're holding an imaginary "do-over" can't we take an OT, a TE, or even Alualu?

Hadden has played very well yeah the problem with Alualu is does he fit our system who knows, until Spiller start producing they are going to be open to the second guess
Got_Wood Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 If I were to re-draft today, I would say that it would probably go something like this: 1. Tim Tebow 2. Rob Gronkowski Although, I really like Spiller. I can't wait to see what this guy does for us next year after a full offseason of training (AND a new OT next year, hopefully).

Throw is a Bulaga or Iupati in there and that is eerily similar to my pre-draft rankings. Stupid Bills.
billsintaiwan Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 you would take tim tebow in a redraft? wow. bulaga at 9? wow. iupati at 9? wow. glad you're confined to a message board.
Sisyphean Bills Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 What's sad about that is that 2 UDFA RBs are on the re-draft by production list and, of course, Spiller is not.

bills_red Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Hadden has played very well yeah the problem with Alualu is does he fit our system who knows, until Spiller start producing they are going to be open to the second guess he was a 34 DE at CAL.
Sisyphean Bills Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 he was a 34 DE at CAL. Yes, he was. But the Jaguars weren't looking for measurables; they were looking for ability. They were looking for leadership. They were looking for work ethic. Alualu led the Golden Bears in sacks (7½) and tackles for loss (10) in 2009. That gave him a check mark for ability. He was a team captain. That gave him a check for leadership. He also was named the team's weightlifter of the year and won the program's Joe Roth Award for courage and sportsmanship. Another check mark. http://www.txcn.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/football/cowboys/stories/120910dnsponflnewsletterintro.162b02a2.html No worries though. There are still some that say Haloti Ngata wasn't athletic enough to play in the Tampa-2.

Ramius Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Found this interesting... Alualu has proven to be worthy of the 10th overall pick. And that's what the draft should be about – finding the best players. Buffalo was criticized in 2006 for "reaching" for Ohio State safety Donte Whitner. The Bills made him the eighth overall pick, at least a half a round higher than he was projected to go. But Whitner is now in his fifth season as a starter and he's the only defensive back in the league with 100 tackles. The Bills viewed Whitner as a good pick then. The rest of the NFL certainly views him as a good pick now.
ganesh Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 What's sad about that is that 2 UDFA RBs are on the re-draft by production list and, of course, Spiller is not. Every team gets their Gems in the UDFA market. The Bills got theirs at the WR position in Nelson and Jones.
Sisyphean Bills Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Every team gets their Gems in the UDFA market. The Bills got theirs at the WR position in Nelson and Jones. Really? That list seems to have more drafted players on it, actually. Though WR and RB do appear to be positions where productive players can be found anywhere.
Billsguy Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 you would take tim tebow in a redraft? wow. bulaga at 9? wow. iupati at 9? wow. glad you're confined to a message board. I couldn't agree more. Tebow? Are you serious? What's with all the man love for this guy? The Bills need lineman and linebackers. Does anybody even watch how bad the linebackers are anymore?
yungmack Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 I want to redo the 2009 draft and make amends for the worst pick in Bills history, Aaron Maybin. And not just because he's useless but because of who the Bills could have had: Clay Matthews.
aristocrat Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 we trade down...take saffold, spikes and jermaine cunningham
