Magox Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Andrew Luck, Daquan Bowers and Nick Fairley All three of these guys by my estimations are sure fire blue chip players who will all make a positive impact for their teams. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9ye6OoWA4g 67 tackles and 16 sacks in 2010 DE Fairley 55 tackles and 11 sacks in 2010 as a DT and Luck, well he doesn't need a highlight video, we know he's solid We can't lose with either one of them, if we don't pick any of these three, I will
Max997 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 and whichever of the three is left should be a Bill Id be happy with either Daquan Bowers or Nick Fairley assuming Luck goes first overall
Pete Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Bowers, Williams, Moats and Carrington has potential to be dominant. Add a couple capable LBers and defense could be a strength
buffalohotwings Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I agree I would be happy with them too. However, if nix is serious about getting someone with a long track record of success, neither bowers or fairley would be that guy. I think Dareus has had success for longer. Maybe he's the one?
2003Contenders Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Sounds like smart conventional wisdom. When was the last time the Bills did the obviously smart thing with a first round pick?

akm0404 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Take a good look at Cameron Newton in the national championship game and watch how he throws the ball. Try not to compare him with other "scrambling" quarterbacks, and just watch. I'm going to. I'm not saying that I'm on crusade to draft him, but I'm keeping an open mind because I truly feel that having an elite-level quarterback is almost exclusively what makes the perennial championship contenders true contenders. And sadly, I think Luck is off limits.

BoozeCruise Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 If Buffalo isn't interested in Newton, I think they'll be a team willing to trade up for him. Arizona, San Francisco, and Minnesota all come to mind. With Merriman on board, I think the first pick looks to be an End. Dareus is the guy I'm looking at. The Patriots have had pretty good luck with going D-line early (Wilfork and Seymour).
Dr. Trooth Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 There are a some assumptions that are being made that may or may not hold up. 1) Will Luck declare? 2) If luck declares, who is to say that Carolina will or will not pass on him? They drafted Claussen in round two. Also, Richardson is a cheapo. 3) If Carolina does pass on Luck, who's to say Denver won't jump on him? Hey, Elway supposedly has some input and he is a Stanford guy. Does anyone really believe Tebow is an NFL QB? No matter who the Bills select at #3, what are reasonable expectations of that player? Hey, the last 3 1st pick of the Bills only get on the field if someone gets injured, if then. If you plug the Bills 1st pick in as a starter right away, who gets moved to the curb?
tombstone56 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 FAIRLEY -YES..DAREUS...YES..... BOWERS I'M NOT TOO SURE ? SORRY BUT WHY WOULD WE WANT ANOTHER WEST COAST CANDYASS ,SO HE CAN REPLACE THE LAST THREE WEST COAST CANDYASS'S? NO LUCK!!!!!! OVEREHYPED BY THE MEDIA ! LIKE THEY HAVENT DONE THAT BEFORE !
Webster Guy Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Antoine Winfield and Rueben Brown are two of the rare first round obvious picks which worked out for us Lee Evans was a solid first round choice.
Wooderson Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I agree I would be happy with them too. However, if nix is serious about getting someone with a long track record of success, neither bowers or fairley would be that guy. I think Dareus has had success for longer. Maybe he's the one? I'm not big on Bowers, I think I'd definitely rather have Dareus over Bowers.
Bangarang Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Bowers is going to be a special kind of bust with all of the hype he's getting. The kid was the #1 player coming out of high school. Went through the motions for his first couple of years at Clemson. Had 1 breakout year and now everyone thinks he's going to be some elite pass rusher in the NFL. He doesn't look overly explosive. Doesn't look to have an arsenal of pass rushing moves. Am I missing something here? This kid looks very raw still.
Bob in STL Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Bowers, Williams, Moats and Carrington has potential to be dominant. Add a couple capable LBers and defense could be a strength Just what did you see in Moats and Carrington to predict dominance? Even Kyle Williams, while a very good player, is not dominant.
John from Riverside Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 any particular reason why you are leaving Darious off your list? Beast of a player that has actually played in a 3-4 defense
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 any particular reason why you are leaving Darious off your list? Beast of a player that has actually played in a 3-4 defense Agreed....Dareus seems to be the best prospect of the three players. I was sold after watching the bowl game against Michigan State. I suspect, if he declares for the draft, that he will be the Bill's pick at #3. That is of course if we don't trade down a few spots. I would be in favor of this as well. We could stockpile some early draft picks, and still draft an impact defensive player.
John from Riverside Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I am wondering if we can get Darius in a trade down of a few spots....that would actually be ideal.
Magox Posted January 3, 2011 Author Posted January 3, 2011 any particular reason why you are leaving Darious off your list? Beast of a player that has actually played in a 3-4 defense Because I don't consider him to be one of the top three prospects that the Bills need.
