NewEra Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Wow. I really can't believe there are so many people that think Barron is viable at 10!!!! Considering our current safeties and Barron's lack of coverage ability, I just don't get it. He hits hard and is a sure tackler but he's not very fast. While I think he'll be a pretty good safety, he's not Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu. Considering we have Wilson, Byrd, search and Scott, I can't understand the need for taking a SS #10. Especially when we have donald jones and Kirk Morrison in the starting lineup. If we take Barron, it'll sting
NewEra Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Kuechly, Floyd, Gilmore. Tannehill Goes to the top of the list if chix believes in him.
jjmac Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 For me, Gilmore, Floyd, Kuechly in that order. Kuechly, Gilmore, Floyd, in that order.

Jones and Morrison need to be backups for top draft picks this year. My 3 would be: Kuechly, Floyd, and ..hmmm...
beerme1 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 What's with all the Gilmore and Barron picks? Where did this come from? I will pretty much write this season off if Nix doesn't fill a more pressing need like LB or WR. I'm sorry but the corners I watched at teh stadium last year sucked! First time in a long time I would be more than ok taking a corner like Gilmore or Kirkpatrick.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 I'm also a bit mystified by the amount of support for Barron. Not that i think he's a bad player. He would be a safe choice, but at a position which is already pretty secure. Now, the the chatter about Kalil dropping to six (which isnt nearly a big of a trade up situation), I would expand my original 3 with a disclaimer: getting him is feasible, but not realistic. It would take the Vikings passing on the conventional wisdom, the browns and bucs going with their expected picks and the rams being willing to trade. Feasible, but I wouldnt say realistic.
Matt in KC Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Wait a minute. Is this supposed to be a prediction thread (how I first took it) or a request to list who we'd pick out of who would realistically be available?

I believe this thread was asking who we thing the Bills WILL pick not who we WANT the Bills to pick. I would pass on Barron, but the team has showed a lot of interested, reportedly.

First time in a long time I would be more than ok taking a corner like Gilmore or Kirkpatrick. Corners usually appear to suck when there is zero pass rush. Maybe these guys are better than we know? I think Justin Rodgers and Aaron Williams look legit. Da'Norris Searcy is a great back-up for Wilson. The safeties and corners look pretty solid to me. What about linebackers? Where were they? I'm not sure our LBs have been this weak since we had Marcus Buggs starting at MLB. Barnett is the only bright spot.

Yeah, I was kind of vague so I'm not going to be a dick about it, and I think there is room enough for both

Yeah, I was kind of vague so I'm not going to be a dick about it, and I think there is room enough for both Who I predict: Gilmore, Reiff, Kirkpatrick Who I'd pick if available: Kalil, Blackmon, Gilmore, Koochie, Floyd, DeCastro, Reiff. I don't really think the first couple are realistic except for in the pre-draft nonsense we're hearing. Sorry if that and the extra names means I broke the rules.
Malazan Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Realistically, the Bills only have one move in the Draft, trading up for Andrew Luck

Chris Brown was on WGR550 today and stated the Bills feel Barron is a once in a generation safety, if they feel this way I am happy with the pick. George Wilson is a very good Strong Safety, if the Bills feel they can upgrade the position to an elite level I trust Nix to do so. Darren Moody the Bills SEC Scout said Barron can also play linebacker in the dime position thereby allowing Wilson and Barron to be on the field at the same time. Thank God the wait is almost over!!

Especially when we have donald jones and Kirk Morrison in the starting lineup. If we take Barron, it'll sting I agree. Would be extremely surprised if he is taken before 14, cause his style fits what dalas and phily as SS to do, so would be great for them. Im not sure who is going to be there at 10, is small chance Kalil would be there and would love that, of ones that will likely be available i would love Keuchly or Floyd, but think they will wait on wr.

So we are basically using top 10 draft choice to get a replacement for Scott then?
simpleman Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Realistically Gilmore, Barron, Floyd. If either Kalil, Blackmon or Claiborne should somehow drop in a miracle, of course I would jump on one of them, but I don’t see that being too realistic.
