1billsfan Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 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. THIS! If that were to happen the Bills could be in a prime spot to trade out for a 2012 1st round pick! Because the Bengals would almost certainly take Cam Newton. If it were Washington that made this trade, the Bills would almost certainly be very close to have the #1 overall in 2012! Dareus and Miller going 1-2 could actually be the best thing to happen people. As long as there's a team who really wants Newton and is willing to give up next year's #1.
Thoner7 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I think a couple weeks back someone had a “your dream two picks for the first two picks” thread. Mine were Netwon and Miller (im pretty sure, or maybe Peterson and Miller, but Im pretty sure it was Newton and Miller). I could not be happier if this happened. That would leave us with Dareus or Fairley, I have wanted one of those two for a long while.
dave mcbride Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Is Dareus that good? I honestly don't know. Everything I've read suggests that he's about 70 percent of the player that Suh is (at best).
Typical TBD Guy Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 That would be an EPIC scenario. It's too good to be true so I know it won't happen! I can easily see the Bills taking either Gabbert, Green, or Peterson instead of Dareus. You don't become the worst NFL team in the 21st century by drafting intelligently.
KOKBILLS Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 If Carolina doesn't take Newton I'll be pissed. I'm here in Charlotte and still all signs are pointing to Cam at #1 overall...I think The Panthers are holding out hope someone is going to swoop in at the last moment and make them some kind of ridiculous offer...But almost all you hear in this Market is it's Cam all the way...
ReturnoftheBuffaloBeast23 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I am hoping Carolina is stupid enough to select Newton at 1 How does this turn into a bash Newton thread when it has nothing to do with him? Anyway.. I'll be happy if this happend even tho I want Newton I can't ever be mad we got Darieus when I wanted him over Miller. But I just don't believe Carolina will take Newton for some reason. I just don't see it happening...
BuffaloBill Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 That would be an EPIC scenario. It's too good to be true so I know it won't happen! Agreed .... but let's hope it happens.
jr1 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I like Dareus for being productive in his sophomore season. No 1 hit wonder there
Thoner7 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Is Dareus that good? I honestly don't know. Everything I've read suggests that he's about 70 percent of the player that Suh is (at best). 70% as good as Suh makes him an absolute stud lol. if you want to talk stats that equates to about 7 sacks and 2-3 more wins because of him alone next season haha Edited April 26, 2011 by Thoner7
CodeMonkey Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Those 3 are pretty much everyones consensus to go first. With Buffalo picking whoever is left. As long as Buddy doesn't pull another waterbug out of his ass this year and sticks to the predictions I will be satisfied. Edited April 26, 2011 by CodeMonkey
DrDawkinstein Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 This would be a dream come true. That being said, you know the draft is now going to go 1. Dareus, 2. Fairley... Leaving the Bills to choose between Peterson, Green, Miller, and Newton...
Bufcomments Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I have never been on the Miller bandwagon...I hope this turns out to be true We get Dareus that is too good. No way the Bills mess that up.
NewEra Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Would be great. I can see Carolina pulling the trigger on Dareus and Denver taking miller then we take.....
McD Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 If Dareus and Miller are gone, take Fairley. I'd be happy with the "pissed off monster" on our line. Stay the HELL away from Newton and Gabbert in the first!
JoeF Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Evil laugh.......worth another watch if you have seen it...worth a watch if you haven't. MD, the doctor of pain, on sports science... http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6402899
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 oh please let this happen. We'll pass and draft Gabbert or Peterson and screw it up....
purple haze Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 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.... Ayers isn't an ILB. And he shouldn't be put on the inside. Don't get caught up in "numbers." He can move well enough where he belongs. On the outside. He's not consistent though so beware.
ReturnoftheBuffaloBeast23 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 This would be a dream come true. That being said, you know the draft is now going to go 1. Dareus, 2. Fairley... Leaving the Bills to choose between Peterson, Green, Miller, and Newton... LOL... Thats a win-win for me cuz then we get Newton.. *shrugs*... As long as its not Gabbert with #3 im cool ... I think its gonna go 1. Dareus 2. Peterson 3. Newton...
LABills08 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Miller/Dareus, if the Bills get either, they will have done a good job. I know Bills fans love to hate on Miller for no reason, but he'd be a great addition. That being said, if the Bills go Gabbert at 3 and pass on Miller/Dareus, the reaction on this board will be priceless. Like a pile of sadness in a failure bowl.
