Owen Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 You are setting the War Room Draft Board Who are the top three picks for the Bills? No trades in the first round..... You have to be right... In what order would you pick and why......
1billsfan Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 You are setting the War Room Draft Board Who are the top three picks for the Bills? No trades in the first round..... You have to be right... In what order would you pick and why...... 1. Cam Newton - Let me preface this by saying that this pick is coming from not knowing much about his personality. If he's a jerk then I don't want him, if he's not and he's a dedicated and super-competitive guy wanting to be the Michael Jordan of football then it's go big or go home. IMO, we'll never be back in this position for another decade or so. The guy would learn professionalism and smart play under Fitzpatrick for a year. As much as I like Fitzpatrick a lot and think he can actually win us a Superbowl in two or three years when the team takes shape, I have to go with a potential franchise dynasty move for our team. It will suck not drafting for that defense though, ouch!!!! 2. Robert Quinn - I have a gut feeling he and Peterson will be neck and neck for who's the best defensive player from this draft. I've got to get pressure on the QB (and stop the run) and this is the all-purpose superstar guy for me. A bit risky, but there have been a rotation of about 10 guys mentioned in the top three positions. That means they all have question marks. 3. Patrick Peterson - Well except maybe for this guy, if Newton and Quinn are off the board (very doubtful Quinn is taken top two), then I would take Peterson the lock down solid pick of the draft. McKlevin is stupid and McGee is starting to get dinged up.

You have to be right... In what order would you pick and why...... 1. Dareus - He has the best track record of all DL rated in the top 5 2. Fairley - Alot of potential here to become a dominating force - Immaturity is an issue though 3. Peterson -Potential to become an elite CB for years and years to come. BPA and wouldn't hurt to have a top 5 CB in a pass happy NFL
Talley56 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) 1. Bowers - This is more of a risk then before with the knee surgery but I still think with that aside he's the best front 7 player in the draft 2. Quinn - Has doesn't take plays off and he has good size and strength with more explosiveness most of the other d-linemen IMO. Last year's suspension doesn't bother me. 3. Peterson - DB is not one of our greatest needs but when a guy is being compared to Champ Bailey I would not have a problem if we drafted him Edited March 28, 2011 by Talley56
CodeMonkey Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) While I don't think taking a CB at #3 is a wise move for the Bills right now (BPA or not) it sure would make this board light up like a xmas tree with the posts to fire Nix and Gailey for pulling a Jauron. That could be entertaining anyway First pick last year a "scatback" that barely contributed when the team had 2 viable RBs already. And follow that up this year with a CB. Man, peoples heads would absolutely explode Edited March 28, 2011 by CodeMonkey
tennesseeboy Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Dareus, Quinn, Peterson. I am not in love with picking another cornerback given our needs in the front seven and offensive line,but I am hearing this guy is really special. I'm stil leaning toward one of the two or three truly outstanding defensive linemen, but I'd live with it if we picked Peterson instead.
1B4IDie Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 If you follow Buddy Nix' 2010 Drafting strategy of 4 year players, that were team Captains. I expect Buddy Nix' board to look like this: Cameron Jordan Von Miller Patrick Peterson If you're just talking my Personal Draft Board Marcel Dareus Nick Fairely Cam Jordan
bg17 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 1. Gerbe - insane mojo. 2. Newton - future star at most important position. 3. Gabbert - see #2.
Thoner7 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Fairley Dareus Watt *I left out Quinn and Cam Jordan because I really haven’t seen them play with my own two eyes, however I do firmly believe they should be considered on reputation alone.
The Buffalo Irishman Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 1. Fairley 2. Dareus 3. Quinn or Miller Just my opinion... I really don't want a QB at the #3 slot. We really need to beef up the D, regardless of 34 or 43 or hybrid whatever you want to call our ridiculous defense.

Man, peoples heads would absolutely explode Since last year's "scatback" statement turned into Spiller, I think this offseason's "quarterback" statements will turn into a QB in 1st round. Newton Gabbert Dareus
VirginiaMike Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I'd have to go as follows: 1. Fairley 2. Dareus 3. Miller -- Not real sold on this pick as I'm not sure he's Matthews like, but LB is a huge need for the Bills -- maybe bigger than D-Line
1B4IDie Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Since last year's "scatback" statement turned into Spiller, I think this offseason's "quarterback" statements will turn into a QB in 1st round. Newton Gabbert Dareus I think Ponder at #34 is more likely to meet the QB statement. That gives you the Nix 4 year player, Team Captain criteria to align with the straight shooter statements.

That gives you the Nix 4 year player, Team Captain criteria to align with the straight shooter statements. I'd be incredibly discouraged if we take a QB outside of round 1. To me it almost like a wasted draft pick because chances are , the qb you pick in rounds 2-7 will not become a true franchise qb. Brees and Plummer (to a lesser extent) are the exception not the rule.

Brees and Plummer (to a lesser extent) are the exception not the rule. There's that, and theres also about a 95% chance that none of these 2-7th round guys will ever be as good as Ryan Fitzpatrick is right now. So it would be a wasted pick. If they want to take that 5% lottery ticket chance on Taylor in the 4th or 5th, then I wouldn't get crazy upset over something like that.

If they take Peterson, he'd better be the next Revis or it'll be a major waste given the current roster. I'm not sure the Bills can afford to risk this.
Pete Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) 1-Von Miller 2-Martez Wilson 3-Lance Kendricks oops misread question. ^that is my prediction first 3 rounds 1-Von Miller 2-Bowers 3-Dareous Edited March 28, 2011 by Pete
