KRT88 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 If Luck comes out the Bills should break the bank and try to get him. It's been since '96 since this team had a franchise QB. Long overdue!! I know there are plenty of needs but I say a QB should be numero UNO! Carolina is NOT gonna trade this pick! move on!
Stl Bills Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) we trade our first, second and first next year if Luck comes out and draft: 3. Luke Stocker Tennessee 6'6" 255 TE dude can catch and block, looks like Gronkowski 4. Reily Rieff Iowa 6'6" 300 LOT 4. Don'ta Hightower Alabama 6'5" 250 ILB 5. Phil Taylor Baylor 6'4" 355 NT 6. John Moffitt Wisconsin 6'5" 323 OG 7. Vince Browne North Western 6'5" 265 OLB I don't know man, its just my opionion but I'm not a huge fan of that draft nor do I think it would even be possible. 3. Luke Stocker will be around in the 5th if not the 7th 4. If Reif declares (he's a redshirt So) he might be the most talented lineman in a really crappy class. He wouldn't make it past Rd 2 if not Rd 1. 4. Don'ta Hightower is not a bad pick in that spot. 5. Phil Taylor is just fat. Terrence Cody v2.0. 6. John Moffit will be long gone by the end of Rd4 if not Rd 2 or 3. I love the pick just don't think he'll be there. 7. Vince Brown isn't going to declare a year early if he's being told he's a day 3 pick, especially if he's going in Rd 7. He'll go back for his senior year. Edited January 6, 2011 by Stl Bills

1B4IDie Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) newton has a 4th quarter college QB rating of 216: http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/sports/25740953-41/newton-auburn-game-bcs-championship.csp I'm glad you brought that up. I saw that before and I saw that Pat Devlin from Delaware averages a 160 QB rating. I thought the Max QB rating was 155, Is this a new QB rating system? I've been telling everyone I know that my gut is telling me The Bills are going to take Newton...The good news for you anti-Newtonite's is that my gut is almost always wrong where Bills Draft Picks are concerned... Also Cam Newton > Tim Tebow. He is Tim Tebow + NFL throwing motion - going on missionary trips to the Philippines. So many of the Tim Tebow-ites should be jumping on the Cam bandwagon.

aristocrat Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 my favorite draft scenario is where we trade down twice and end up around the 20th pick...take akeem ayers there, 34=donta hightower, 44 marvin austin, 52 greg jones or casey matthews...this is assuming we don't re-sign poz and no stud ilb free agents come to us. marvin austin, williams troupe moats, hightower jones ayers with merriman trying to get playing time and kelsay as well. i would also sub nate potter in for one of the 2nd round picks if we don't address the rt spot in free agency.
The Senator Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Now that we know we're picking 3rd, my dream draft changes a bit if Mallett's in the picture (probably reverts back to my September dream draft of Mallett, Carimi, Moch, Marecic, Romeus - and I'd add Sione Fua and Alex Henery into the mix). Without Mallett (he may not declare), I'm interested in seeing how Oregon QB Darron Thomas looks in the BCS title game Monday nite - part of any dream draft scenario could involve getting him in 2012 - and who else decides to stay in school of come out by the Jan 15 deadline.

Brad Smith? I had to google him just to find out who he is.
Erik Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Brad Smith? I had to google him just to find out who he is. Is that serious? If so how did you miss the 40 yard option run on 3rd and 17 against us just 4 days ago?

bbb Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Is that serious? If so how did you miss the 40 yard option run on 3rd and 17 against us just 4 days ago? I didn't watch the game very close. I was too busy and it was ridiculous. I did see that guy then, but I just didn't even care enough to note his name.
Adam Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I wouldn't mind if we got Heyward and Sturdivant. A line of Williams, Troup and Heyward with Sturdivant and Davis in the middle could really improve our defense.

RuntheDamnBall Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 The good news is that if the Bills don't see a lot of talent differential between a guy at #3 and a guy at, say #10 - but some other team does - they might be able to pick up some picks. I see this as more of a possibility now that Luck is apparently not coming out. Everything shifts up a spot and some team will probably panic because of this. That used to be the Bills doing the panicking, but at #3 they are sitting pretty.
BoBills20 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 There are 4 players that could all be recognized as great picks for our first round (Quinn, Dareus, Fairley, Bowers). Trade down pick up more picks.. maybe to Cleveland at 6 because of their thirst for AJ Green and he wont be there at 6.
papazoid Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 denver could go in multiple directions.....the WR Green or one of the DB's......so bowers or fairley could still be there.
Stl Bills Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) denver could go in multiple directions.....the WR Green or one of the DB's......so bowers or fairley could still be there. I don't think they'll draft Green, the drafted Demaryus Thomas last year in Rd 1 and Brandon Lloyd played lights out last year. Edited January 6, 2011 by Stl Bills
