John from Riverside Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Sometimes its the trade you dont make.....sometimes its the luck of the player that is there that makes themost sense
Boludo Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 gabbert sucks dunno if they report is based in truth or not just happy we actually made a good first round draft pick for once
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Miller would have been pick, all elese is BS
starrymessenger Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 And as per usual, he is correct. Actually the Bills did want to trade back into the first for a guy Denver drafted last year. But you're right, it wasn't Tebow. At the time I thought it was Demaryius Thomas, who Gailey had at Tech. Never thought it was Tebow, and Nix later denied the Tebow rumour.
auburnbillsbacker Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 I posted this during the draft and end though it would pop up again. I guess at this stage is doesn't matter but based on two articles and a Nix interview I listened to it appeared they would have taken Gabbert. Other reports made it sound like that was not the case, but I valued what I heard from Nix over what I read from other sources. I just wish there was a way to have taken Newton, Miller, and Dareus. I think all 3 will be very good and Miller and Dareus are very good now.
FistingBot Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 gabbert sucks dunno if they report is based in truth or not just happy we actually made a good first round draft pick for once Wow, so now we declare draft winners and losers before the players even play a single regular season game? WAY too early to know what Gabbert will or will not turn into... and for all we know, Dareus could turn into the next Steve Emtman... Lets revive this thread in about 3 years...

Period. Dareus is the real deal, and I see nothing short of extreme injury holding this dude back.

truth on hold Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) An at the time linebacker starved team would have passed on von miller? Have to call BS on this one Edited September 3, 2011 by Joe_the_6_pack
billsintaiwan Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 gabbert sucks dunno if they report is based in truth or not just happy we actually made a good first round draft pick for once i'm happy with dareus, but gabbert will be a top ten nfl quarterback. not this year and maybe not next year, but he has the stuff. strong, accurate, and tough. one of us will be wrong and i doubt it's me. saying "he sucks" shows little football sense.
High Mark Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I am just glad Newton went 1. Buddy admits they wanted Newton bad in the post-draft presser. Then when Denver took Miller we go so lucky. Dareus is looking like the best player in the draft.
Fan in Chicago Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/tag/_/name/2011-nfl-draft This was reported from an ESPN blog after a talk with Buddy Nix. I am pretty sure NGU had said that the FO is indifferent between the top 3. Would have been Miller if not Dareus. And seeing how Miller has been playing the preseason, that would not have been a bad choice (though I like Dareus better).
bowery4 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I think JW just upped this because he was trying to discredit NGU.
bills44 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I think JW just upped this because he was trying to discredit NGU. oh. very mature.
