1billsfan Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Very interesting take on the talent in this year's draft. I actually agree with this list… http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/NFL-prospect-tier-rankings.html Hopefully the Bills won't reach for anything beyond Tier 2.
Rubes Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 All three of the Tier 2 players would work for me, so we should be set. I think Dareus could be a Tier 2 myself. I'm just hoping we don't pick a QB. I'll gladly eat my words if we do and he works out, but it's not my preference at all.

I guess I don't really care if the guy they get starts day 1 or a month in, as long as he's real good in 2012.
DrDawkinstein Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Whole lotta random guessing and assigning going on here. but I guess we do still have 5 WEEKS until the draft... Why does it seem like this year's draft is taking forever to get to? Is it the lack of FA distracting us? Edited March 22, 2011 by DrDankenstein
The Buffalo Irishman Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Whole lotta random guessing and assigning going on here. but I guess we do still have 5 WEEKS until the draft still... Why does it seem like this year's draft is taking forever to get to? Is it the lack of FA distracting us? Yep. It seems that there hasn't been a lot of signings at all.

The Buffalo Irishman Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Yeah, I wonder... why IS that? I'm an A$$ for that statement...
VADC Bills Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I like the list, I don't agree with every evaluation but I don't strongly disagree with any. I would imagine this is how the coaches pretty much rate the players. It seems as though this opinion was influenced by the football that was played on the field and not how fast they run 40's or can run around cones. The best indicator of what these players can do is on film. I would take Fairley, or Cam Jordan any day.
DrDawkinstein Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I'm an A$$ for that statement... haha, i wasnt sure if you were joking, or had a brain fart, so I left it alone
FightClub Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Still supporting Von Miller in the first. Based on this list, the players I am looking at in the second are Derrick Sherrod, Akeem Ayers and perhaps Kyle Rudolph, though I'm not a big fan of picking TE in the early rounds after seeing the offense Gailey wants to run.
Wiz Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 List loses all credibility when it claims TWO wide receivers will become "one of the premier players at his position" as a rookie. Rookie WR's rarely are that great their first year.
frogger Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 anyone notice the website had Ponder as the number one QB?
Zulu Cthulhu Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Who is this guy? I notice that Fairley is still his #1 pick overall; that doesn't seem very likely to happen anymore.
NoSaint Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 anyone notice the website had Ponder as the number one QB? Notice that for a lot of these that the term categorization fits better than ranking? Why is "expected to be a starter at some point" higher than "Gifted talent with inconsistency." seems to me those terms might be radically different in ranking based on position for example. Or dynamic sub package player over boom or bust?
Chas56 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 This article link is by a guy named Wes Bunting. Bleacher Report has a short profile on him, which lists Sports Management Worldwide as his school/training. Google that organization and what you find is a scam report. Apparently, it is a fly-by-night diploma mill. So, all-in-all, this Wes Bunting guy knows about as much as . . . well, us.
1B4IDie Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I'm putting this list in my list of lists as "Plainly one man's opinions presented as an authoritative opinion using completely unmeasurable categories however seems to be on to so something" list

Guy is an idiot Dareus is clearly a tier 2 if not one.
billsfan89 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I wounder if you look back at their year in and year out how many corners and receivers are tier one. This year only those positions were tier one. Just wondering because its a weird designation.

Just wondering because its a weird designation. i urge you to click this link, and then tell me you really care. http://bleacherreport.com/users/126626-wes-bunting although he does have a half dozen bleacher report medals and has been monitoring the college football scene since 2002, im just not that impressed. also, i would assume yes that WR and CB get the pro ready grade, the guys that are really hard to get film on because they are out of the screen are probably the most "pro ready" as most of these experts mid to low level experts are just watching broadcast film and dont get to see sloppy routes, and missteps unless it causes a TD/INT.... the only film they have on these guys is essentially highlights.
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I don't get this. According to their system, a QB could go first overall and spend a year on the bench (a la Carson Palmer), but he wouldn't be a very good tier player because he won't make an immediate impact?
