BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) We are picking Reiff/DeCastro in round 1. If they are both gone that would be quite a bad thing but one or both should still be there . There are 15-20 receivers in this draft with good talent. There are not very many starting tackles. Take the lineman or you don't get one.. Simple as that. Edited April 4, 2012 by MOVALLEYRANDY
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Until I saw what happened to Bell I would have disagreed with you. Now I don't care whether or not Rieff is expected to be Elite. I'll take solid and ready to start somewhere soon.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Hmmm....drafting an OT at #10 is intriguing, and certainly fills a need, but have you heard of that kid from Notre Dame, Michael Floyd? Word on the street is that he is "the bee's knees," as the kids say these days. Edited April 4, 2012 by Johnny Hammersticks
CarolinaBill Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Just like bulaga a few yrs back, Reiff will not be the pick. Why, because you dont take Right tackles and guards in the top 10.
NickelCity Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Man this draft will be interesting. Who else is not enamored with Floyd?
CarolinaBill Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Im not on the floyd wagon. Id take Ingram/ gilmore then jeffrey @ 41.

1billsfan Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Man this draft will be interesting. Who else is not enamored with Floyd? I'm not. I know it's not scientific, but I get a really bad vibe from watching interviews with that guy. If the Bills are forced to stay at #10, then I hope they take the BPA without troubled histories in DeCastro, Ingram or Keuchly. I don't think it will be a DB since even if they are good, they're basically unaffordable after their rookie contracts are up.

Signed, JP Losman, James Hardy, and John McCargo You should add Eric Flowers & Travares Tillman to that list. Which in itself is a stupid analogy, because we can point to draft busts of the top picks, and it didn't matter whether they were taken for need or BPA. Bottom line is that if you have a good scouting department and competent guys doing the selection, you'll do a better job on draft day, no matter whether you look for need or BPA.

CarolinaBill Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Why not wait and take NaTe Potter later, he at least actually projects to be a LEFT tackle. No reiff, no decastro, and no ILB like keuchly @ 10. Take an Olb, Cb, or WR (not floyd). Remember, we only have one pick per rd for rds 1-3. The way I see it, we should go cb/olb, then wr, qb

Are we forgetting Whitner at #8?
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Are we forgetting Whitner at #8? That was probably a reach as well but he at least was a decent player for us. He also looked really good playing for the Niners last year behind a pass rush and knocking out receivers.
Lofton80 Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Aren't you concerned about Reiff's underage drinking and resisting arrest charges from 2 years ago? Floyd isn't the only draftee with a history to overcome.
GG Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Are we forgetting Whitner at #8? I was responding to reaching for need with the 2nd or 3rd available player. Technically Whitner doesn't count, since he was the No. 1 guy picked for the DB need, as Jauron made it clear he wanted to build his new defense around the next Mike Brown. Travares Tillman is the better example, since Bills panicked after the run on safeties in that draft.
