benderbender Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Wasn't Janikowski a first round pick. I think Ray Guy might have also been a first round pick. So its not an impossible option. In our case I suspect we have some 24 other positions in worse need than punter or kicker...well..maybe not one of our defensive ends and one of our wide receivers... Yep we need to emulate the Raiders. They are a blueprint to success.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Brian Moorman has had zero competition for years! How do we let this continue? We need to get the best franchise punter out there and control field position for the next ten years. Just kidding, I just wanted to get in on all the GM threads popping up.
Mr_Blizzard Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 We don't just need a punter who can kick, he needs to be able to tackle too.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Bad news. The Rams draft ahead of us and… they need a punter. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/football/professional/draft-preview-rams-need-a-punter-in-draft/article_d9234bbf-fbda-5745-ba3c-7576224387de.html

Maybe do a Ditka and give them all this years picks.
VirginiaMike Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Do you realize what we would have to give up? And you want to do all that for along snapper? Crazy! While we would be giving up some things, one bad snap can ruin your season. Your 1st round draft choice punter might have to get hit or make a tackle and if we lose the punter it could mean a winless season. Edited April 12, 2012 by VirginiaMike
jimmy10 Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 We should draft a punter in the 2nd as well. What if the 1st round punter is a bust? Pretty much this. Depth and talent, guys. Depth and talent.
Captain Hindsight Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 The Bills should work out a trade with the Colts then. Maybe do a Ditka and give them all this years picks. We better not miss on that pick tho and take a guy that doesn't have the leg to change field position
Wayne Cubed Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 We better not miss on that pick tho and take a guy that doesn't have the leg to change field position I'm tellin ya, Bryan Anger out of Cal is that pick. I know Buddy doesn't really like Pac-10 players, but this is as much a can't miss punter as ever. If the Bills have to they should trade up with the Vikings to secure that we get him.
ndirish1978 Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Anger reportedly has athlete's foot. I dunno, sounds like an IR down the road just waiting to happen.

If the Bills have to they should trade up with the Vikings to secure that we get him. I can't tell you how upset I would be with that pick. Furious. It would be maddening. I'd be beside myself. Just burning up. I can't think of the right word.
Just Jack Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 They should look at Rob Long from Syracuse. It would be a nice feel good story of an average college punter who got brain cancer coming back and living the dream of playing in the NFL, until his head explodes on a nasty tackle.

Im sure we could move back to 15 and pick up an extra third ad still secure Anger
Pilsner Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 If there's a punter out there with the name of Punter...well then...do what needs to be done to trade up and get him before any other team has some bright ideas.

You guys make me laugh. That's some corny ****. It was a seriously long day and long week. Needed a good chuckle.
