eball Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 That made my day Mine too. I'm going to start wiping again.
BuffaloBaumer Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 This is the first draft I can remember in a looong time where I won't mind a few different picks. I can't see myself getting overly excited or disappointed with whichever direction they choose: Reiff - happy LT is filled if they think he is good enough DeCastro - seems like a can't miss guy even if they are said to be fine at guard Kuechly - build up the D even more - fine with me Floyd - probably the most exciting pick and it would be fun to see him with Stevie
Dat Dude Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Reaching would be bad enough. Reaching for a position that is not a need would be worse.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Why not pick Decastro who people are saying is the best guard to come out in a while. When I hear comparisons to Steve Hutchison, I build up the line with someone like that...... He's not a reach but another thread about decastro, really?
Adam Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 I would still have no problem with Decastro as the pick if they thought highly enough of him. I will never complain about an oline addition if said person is a staple for 10 plus years.... but you have now way of knowing that when he is picked. We have solid starters at OG. We do not have a solid starter at LT. We have a mid round pick from last year who was not horrible. Which doesn't mean we get a quality player at that position, just because we want one. As Billick said the other day- Need is the worst talent evaluator.
Orton's Arm Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) A draft "reach" is largely an invented term by people like Kiper and McShay in an attempt to justify themselves when actual teams don't follow their opinions. How did reaching for Whitner, McCargo, and Lynch work out for Marv? The Bills must avoid the Scylla of reaching for need. They must also steer away from the Charybdis of using the 10th overall pick on a low value position, such as 4-3 LB, OG, or RB. At 10th overall, the pick should be a LT, WR, CB, or possibly a QB in the unlikely event Tannehill is still available. Surely, a player at one of those positions must be worthy of 10th overall!
