billsfan89 Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Good move to get Dareus. I don't like Newton or Peterson so getting those two out of the way and the Bills getting the cream of the crop as far as the D-line goes sounds good to me. Get a MLB and a RT in the 2nd and 3rd round and this team just fixed a lot of holes in the draft. Still a ways to go but DE, MLB, OLB, TE, and RT are the biggest holes this team has. If you can fill 3 of them in the draft its a good start towards further building this team (Also you still have free agency to possibly add to the roster).
OCinBuffalo Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I like this pick, a lot. We need more players that were playing the position we want them to play here in college. I am done with converting players from one position to another(see: Maybin), doubly so with our #1 pick in the draft. This point is made even finer by the fact that we are talking defensive line here. We need run stopping 3-4 ends who can hold the edge of the line and let the LBs make plays, or better, tackle the back themselves. This guy does that. We need a 3-4 end, then let's draft a 3-4 end. Not a 4-3 tackle that doesn't have the feet or the hands to play end, and try to "coach him up in the off-season". I don't care about this kid being suspended for 2 games. You can't expect a 20 year old kid to understand who he can talk to, and who he can't, when nobody seems to be able to define that rule consistently, and, nobody seems willing to follow it, or follow it the same as everybody else. Besides, talking to an agent means this kid wants to play this game, not drink beers, chase tail, etc. I would be very happy with this pick, as it directly addresses problem #1 for the Bills: stopping the run.
Glory Bound Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 he can barely speak coherently. I think Nix could quite possibly be attracted to this quality
DrDawkinstein Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) There isnt a lot of film floating around on Dareus, but here is an awesome breakdown of his Capitol One Bowl performance. Everyone take note that he plays the LDE in the 3-4 for Alabama. Exactly the spot I see him playing for the Bills. Individual clips for individual plays.
