BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 1st Round: Best LT 2nd Round: Best RT 3Rd Round: Best Guard 4th Round: Best OL Left 4Th Round: Best OL/TE left 5th Round: Best DB/ST left 6th Round: Best K that can drill Ball thru endzone like Redskin Kicker 7th Round: Best ST/project type Can you imagine with a solid OL and depth what this Offense with Fitz could do?
PromoTheRobot Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I would not mind a QB for 3-4 years down the road. Let Fitz tutor him a couple of seasons. It would not a be a slap at Fitz. Just look at Indy right now. Gotta be prepared. PTR
McD Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Although I agree the O-Line should have priority, I just dont see them going all out like this in the draft. Probably 2-3 O-Line taken next year tops. 1st/3rd/5th rds. Really depends on how these guys play this year. I'm still in favor of a stud ILB and/or OLB.
NewEra Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I'd say wait and see how Bell and Pears play before I draft a LT and RT in rd 1 and 2. The same can be said for fitz. We may be taking a qb in rd 1. He played great yesterday. He made me proud. But it's still one game. Let's see how he plays the next 15, hopefully more.
DrDawkinstein Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 If Bell keeps playing/improving like he has been, there is no need to draft that many OLs. Id agree with an OT in the first as our top priority, and another OL later on, but our defense is not complete either. Still need to draft LBs, CBs, and DL (in that order of priority). Obviously, we'll have a much better idea of what we really need by week 8. Go Bills!
The Senator Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 1st Round: Best LT 2nd Round: Best RT 3Rd Round: Best Guard 4th Round: Best OL Left 4Th Round: Best OL/TE left 5th Round: Best DB/ST left 6th Round: Best K that can drill Ball thru endzone like Redskin Kicker 7th Round: Best ST/project type Can you imagine with a solid OL and depth what this Offense with Fitz could do? Obviously way too early, but I'm already long on record saying the Bills will be picking late (bottom 3rd of the round) in the draft order. By then, Matt Kahil (OT, USC) will be long gone, but it IS possible that USC QB Matt Barkley could slip that far. (We'd have to be extremely lucky, but the 'Andy and Landry Show' could just steal all the attention from the 20-year-old Barkley, leaving the most promising QB of the 2012 draft for Gailey/Fitz to mentor for the next 3 seasons.) Then in round 2, since we lost Wang... Adcock
EastRochBillsfan Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Not for nothing, but who the hell cares about the 2012 draft right now? The season JUST started. Let's enjoy that for awhile and see what we need at the END of the season. jeesh

So you're drafting purely for need and not at all for value? Yeah, that's a great way to run a draft. Your post would have much more prudently posed as: "I hope we draft some linemen next year." Dumbest post I've seen in awhile.
Chandemonium Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Who is the best LT expected to be available at #32 overall?
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) I want a pass rushing OLB in the first or second round, value permitting. Merriman's health is altogether too critical to the defense right now, we need an athletic rusher on the other side. And even if Batten works out, Merriman's deal is finished after next season.

Slayers Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 4Th Round: Best OL/TE left Why would you want to draft a TE I though Chandler looked very good for someone that is his size and should be more of a blocker then a catching TE

To me it is obvious we need to draft a punter with our 1st and a kicker with our 2nd!

We're not trying to take away anything from what the Bills are doing this season. But these discussions give me names to watch on Saturdays while Im watching 15 college games. Go Bills!

Stop putting that bad western NY Beer in those Frosted Flakes dude.
KD in CA Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Dammit, if they keep winning they won't get anyone good in the draft!!
The Senator Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Dammit, if they keep winning they won't get anyone good in the draft!! I was thinking the same thing - this past Sunday just set this franchise back for years!!!
Spiderweb Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I want a pass rushing OLB in the first or second round, value permitting. Merriman's health is altogether too critical to the defense right now, we need an athletic rusher on the other side. And even if Batten works out, Merriman's deal is finished after next season. I like the way Batten plays the game, but he looks small out there and if he's engaged by an O-lineman, he's pretty much finished. He shows some quickness, and heart, but I'm not sold on his being an effective pass rusher. Looked good in preseason, but that was mostly against guys that didn't make their teams.
thr_wedge Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Whatever player is the best to draft at position #32 :-)
Saint Doug Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I love the win and Fitz is a great leader, but we will likely need to draft a franchise QB for the future at some point. Watching yesterdays game, besides depth, I saw no glaring needs. A weird feeling, I know. So, assuming we keep winning (and have a pick somewhere between 15 and 25), would anyone on here make a large enough jump to pick up a QB in the top 5 picks (like the Jets did with Dirty Sanchez? Like giving up our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks?
