rocwocka Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Quentin Coples, defensive end, North Carloina. Just makes sense. He's big enough to play DE in a 4-3 and (most likely) athletic enough to be an OLB in a 3-4, thus keeping our hybrid 3-4/4-3 defense intact. I'm also hoping that we have Courtney Upshaw waitng in round 2. He's got great size and speed for a 3-4 OLB. I know there will be a call for RG3, but our D needs more help than our O, right? <edited>changed to correct pick
Maddog69 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 I think we will draft 9th. Carolina beats us in SOS.

Dr. Trooth Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 The last thing the Bills need is to select someone that they cannot plug right in as a starter from day one and play at a high level. there is no WR @ #8 that will do that there is no LT @ # 8 that will do that there is no DE @ #8 that will do that there is only one player the Bills can plug and play @ #8, and that is Courtney Upshaw. He may not have the upside of some of the others. But he will start at the ROLB position and have an immediate impact.
bills1960 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 If we're picking 10th (or some spot close to that), there's a good chance Coples is gone. Upshaw will not fall to the second round. Hey, a guy can dream though.
Kaenon Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Move down a few spot and take Tannehill in the first. Mercilus in the second. Lavonte David in the second with an extra pick from moving down. Jeff Fuller in the third to pair him back up with Tannehill. CB Josh Robinson in the fourth. Another tight end in the fourth.

thewildrabbit Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 I'm pretty certain that given the history of this franchise that they will draft a DB or RB with that #1 pick .. Seriously tho, its waaaaaaaaaay to early to tell who is going to be ranked where, so we just need to wait a bit

Jeff Fuller in the third to pair him back up with Tannehill. CB Josh Robinson in the fourth. Another tight end in the fourth. Mercilus is the top pass rushing prospect in this draft, he is more likely to go top 10 than he is to last until the second round, IMO. Not a great looking draft for pass rushers.

Thoner7 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) yea I dont like Coples. He isnt a OLB to me at all. Im hoping RG3 falls to us, or we can get an OLB in the first two rounds. Between Mercelous, Upshaw, Ingram, Perry, maybe we can us our first two picks to trade back in the 1, then up from our first, and land two of those guys. Edited January 2, 2012 by Thoner7
Ramius Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 If i had to wager right now, on our #1 pick, and what our "brain trust" will do, i'd say its going to be WR Alshon Jeffrey. Blackmon will be gone.

Mich St plays tomorrow afternoon as well. I know you like Tannehill but I think Cousins has real potential

rocwocka Posted January 2, 2012 Author Posted January 2, 2012 I'm hearing the same knock on Coples as Orakpo got a few years back when he was ours for the picking and we took Maybin. Really hoping we don' t go offense till the 4th or later. We need Defensive monsters to upgrade this miss mash unit.
