Schefer was on Mike and Mike and said Carolina wants to take Newton, but they're still trying to convince themselves he's the right pick. Said they're leaning to him, but still haven't sold themselves on him.

 

Said he thinks Denver would take Von Miller

 

Then Buffalo would take Dareus.

 

 

He said Newton, Miller and Dareus will be the top 3, and Buffalo will just take whoever is left...basically.

oh please let this happen.

For what it's worth, Schefter spent years in Denver covering the broncos prior to starting with the NFL Network, so if he says they're taking Miller, I think it's pretty much a lock.

 

I would be a little disappointed. I wanted Miller in our LB core

Awesome! Miller going at 2 and newton at 1 is a dream scenario as almost everyone on this board would be appeased. Miller and newton fans couldn't be upset, those that want run d help would be happy, those that want size (quinn over miller crowd) would be happy, those that want multiple years of production (mvp national champ game)... could not think how anyone could be upset (except for the op of the fairley thread... sorry). Can I dust of get er done for this?

Wow! After thinking Miller was a lock at #3 for weeks now this is pretty interesting...I'd still try to Trade back, but I'm AOK with Dareus...Boy oh boy could The Bills do worse than that Kid... B-)

what about Elvis Dumervil? I would think Denver would bolster their D line first. No doubt they are going D with that pick though. Dareus, Miller, or trade down

There are other "sources" from the official nfl war room twitter that claim Dereus is 2 and Miller is 3. It's a Miller/Dareus either/or for us.

As I look at all the Bills needs--priority one is stopping the run. If the Bills can't do that--it opens up so much for the opposition. Play action is more effective, the pass rush is mitigated. A defense can do a lot more scheming and blitzing if the run D is consistent. Dareus is so disruptive. He excels at fighting through the double team. He has the burst to kick out to DE in passing situations and we will have the talent to rotate in waves of lineman with Dareus. Spence Johnson, Dwan Edwards, Carrington, Troup and our all pro Williams plus Dareus would give the Bills two waves with seemingly no drop off.

 

The Bills need help all over the front seven but adding two potential studs in the first two picks cures a lot of ills. Moats can't help but improve on the Outside and if you add a healthy Merriman we are okay for another year at OL. We need an inside backer to pair with Poz--I am hoping Akeem Ayers drops to us in the second round -- he has slow straight line speed but is a thumper against the run and always seems to be in the right place in coverage. Danny Batten is going to be a good one -- and can probably be effective inside or outside as a utility linebacker...Dareus and Ayers or Martez Wilson in the first two rounds would likely make us a formidable D for the next few years....

Eggsaktly. If Carolina can't convince themselves Newton is worth the gamble, they pick Dareus. Denver has a choice between Miller and Peterson (they pick Miller) and Buffalo settles for the consolation prize: A choice between Newton and Gabbert.

 

Fairley's stock is falling. Buffalo's not sold on Quinn. #3 is too high for Jordan. We don't really need Peterson. Bowers is a medical risk we can't afford. A quarterback pick 'em is our lot in this scenario. MAYBE that scenario attracts suitors for the trade-down, but who knows.

I am hoping Carolina is stupid enough to select Newton at 1

 

Like him or not, can we all at least agree that The Bills interest in Cam Newton goes WAY beyond what he can do at QB? When was the last time The Buffalo Bills Drafted a Player that will bring the type of attention/hype Newton will? They'll make him the face of the Franchise in a half-a-heartbeat...And they'll make a ton of cash off him while everyone is trying to figure out if he'll be any good over the next few years...That Kid is bigger than life right now...It's more than just football with him... B-)
