bkc Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Mel kipers latest big board has Fairley at number one ? That is all and for what it is worth
BillsObserver Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Dammit. I've been tracking this guy all year and figured he'd be a top 10 guy but never guessed he could go #1 overall! I wanted him on the Bills the most but Bowers wouldnt disappoint me either. The question is - will Bowers be available when its our pick?

bobobonators Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) I obviously want Fairley, but we're GUARANTEED of getting one of the big 3 DL in Bowers, Dareus, and of course, Fairley. For the longest time earlier in the year I was pretty resolute on the idea of trading down from our top 10 pick...but I've since changed my mind and feel that we're in a prime position to snage one of those three and shouldn't pass it up. For me, my liking is Fairley, Dareus, and Bowers..in that order. As much as i'm in love with Fairley, a part of me pictures Dareus the better pro at the next level. Can't wait!

Thoner7 Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 can bowers play a 3/4 or would they be better off with darues Yes he can and no I dont think so.
Bangarang Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 can bowers play a 3/4 or would they be better off with darues I like Bowers much better in a 4-3 than I do in a 3-4. Not saying he couldn't play in a 3-4 but that he looks best suited for a 4-3.
bobobonators Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 can bowers play a 3/4 or would they be better off with darues dareus is an ideal 5 tech guy, but can literally play ANY position on the DL...I personally think Bowers is best suited for a 4-3 defense where his only concerns is to use his freakish size/speed to get to the QB as an edge rusher. I like Bowers much better in a 4-3 than I do in a 3-4. Not saying he couldn't play in a 3-4 but that he looks best suited for a 4-3. didn't see your post. i agree completely on the 4-3 for bowers.
JPS Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 It shows the true colors of a guy like Kiper. They react. You watch what 4.29 does to AJ Green's stock in Kiper's eyes.(if he were capable) I'd be more impressed if he had Fairley there on Sunday. I miss Joel Buchsbaum.
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) I'm still amazed that a guy who only went to community college and doesn't have an ounce of actual football in his background is a draft expert. Good for him I guess. Edited January 12, 2011 by C.Biscuit97

aristocrat Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 kiper isnt carolina's gm or denver's...it is possible for fairley to fall to us and he would look real good rushing next to kyle williams
bobobonators Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 kiper isnt carolina's gm or denver's...it is possible for fairley to fall to us and he would look real good rushing next to kyle williams indeed...the draft is absolutely wide open..the only sure thing would've been Luck at #1, but now who knows..only the combine will help make things clearer. Fairley could EASILY be there at 3 when we pick.
bills1960 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 That's the big board, not the mock draft. Carolina's offense is so bad that it is not certain that they'll take him and Denver may decided that a CB is a more important need. Hope is not yet lost.
K-9 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Awesome news! Making Kiper's #1 overall ranking virtually ensures that Fairley will drop out of the top 10. Keep 'em comin', Mel. GO BILLS!!!

I wanted him on the Bills the most but Bowers wouldnt disappoint me either. The question is - will Bowers be available when its our pick? the question is, can Bowers be effective in a 3-4? or will we be playing mostly 4-3? I don't think he'd be worth it if we plan on playing mostly 3-4, he's NOT an OLB

How much do you want to bet Fairley won't drop out of the top ten? Are you joking or totally clueless?
