But I just don't see how Gabbert is going to last until the second round. Maybe Locker might be there? When picking a qb prospect I give great value to a qb's accuracy. From what has been reported Gabbert has it over Locker. As far as taking a qb with a low round pick I don't see the point of it. As far as my view on Ponder he is a competent qb with little upside. He reminds me of the Orton caliber of qb.
Rob's House Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I prefer draft B because I'm not crazy about the team being led by a guy named Blaine.
FutureBillsGM Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Draft A but I think Gabbertt, Beal and Matthews will be gone long before those slots.

If the switch to the 34 is permanent, they're going to need more at linebacker. DL is important but as Pittsburgh has shown, having versatile linebackers who can shoot gaps, scrape at the line of scrimmage and still rush from a three point stance is how the "prototypical" 34 alignment should be run. At some point though, they're going to have to draft a QB.
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) I'd like a little of each, 1 Dareus 2 Wilson 3 Beal 4 Stocker 4 Matthews 5 Ziemba 6 Clay 7 Blanc If Florence isn't resigned or a comparable CB isn't signed in free agency it's my opinion that they're going to need to take a CB somewhere in the first 4 rounds. Edited January 19, 2011 by Ghost of Rob Johnson
Bangarang Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Draft A, except replace Gabbert with Locker. Then replace Virgil Green with Charlie Gantt.
Philo Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Substitute Dareus for Bowers in draft B along with possibly a DB in the later rounds and it looks good to me.

Would you throw a brick at the TV if it were Peterson in RD#1?
jumbalaya Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I bet that only one of all of these players actual make our roster. Seems with every draft none of the pre draft players ever make our roster.

A TE in round number 4. That has really worked out in last few years
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Would you throw a brick at the TV if it were Peterson in RD#1? No, I actually think that is the most likely scenario. Esp with them using 2 of their top 3 picks on DL last year, having Kyle Williams there, and signing Dwan Edwards. Ideally, with their top 3 picks, I'd like to see them come away with a CB to compete for one of the top 3 spots with McKelvin and McGee, an ILB to compete/beat out Davis, and an OLB to compete/beat out Kelsay.

Draft A for me, please.
San-O Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Is it possible to get a difference maker at TE in the 4th round? Haven't they done this before?
vincec Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Would you throw a brick at the TV if it were Peterson in RD#1? If the Bills let Florence and Whitner walk and then have to waste their #1 pick on a hopeful replacement, that would be a sign that the Bills are just going to dwell at the bottom of the league as usual. You don't build a winner by constantly trying to replace your few good players because they leave. You need to keep them so you can build up talent at other positions. Frankly, I'd rather see Green than Peterson, but really if the the Bills don't go DL or QB with the top pick, I'll be disappointed.

1B4IDie Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 What if they use the free resources to sign a D-lineman (Solai? Mebane?) and draft Peterson at #3? Peterson is OVER-RATED! Taking a DB in the top 10 is stoopid. The Redskins do it every other year. Let's not be like the Redskins.

Frankly, I'd rather see Green than Peterson, but really if the the Bills don't go DL or QB with the top pick, I'll be disappointed. Agreed that a lot hinges on what they decide to do with Drayton Florence. If they let him walk, we are left with a huge hole in the secondary. McGee is oft-injured, surely on the down slope of his career. McLovin shows huge potential at times, but is too inconsistent and makes too many mistakes to be our "shut-down" guy. Youbody, Corner, and the rest....who knows. Morale of the story....make sure to re-sign Florence. If not, Peterson may be a decent choice in round one (IF he makes it past Denver).
aristocrat Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Would you throw a brick at the TV if it were Peterson in RD#1? i would be ok with him only if we get an ILB and legit def tackle in free agency.
