Kelly the Dog Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Those who believe that NFL teams don't go by BPA are being willfully ignorant. There are multiple examples of NFL personnel stating that they go by BPA directly. Green Bay has arguably the best offense in the league. They needed defensive help across the board. Their first three picks were a pass rushing end, a strong DT and a DB. I guess they just lucked out that no offensive players were the BPA on their board. Or that at the time of their pick in the second, it wasn't another DE that was BPA. Or in the third, it wasn't a DE or DT.
3putt Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 youtube.com/watch?v=qtUajtQCLwg [/quote I remember that play and thought he got a raw deal on the penalty and expulsion. Was watching the game with two asst coaches at Northwestern and they thought it was a "technically perfect neutering." THat receiver wouldn't have the balls to reach for an overhead pass the rest of the game.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Could this guy come in and challenge Morrison for the starting position right away? Either way I like the pick. No, but he's big strong and crazy fast - he can learn from Barnett and Morrison and come in if injuries.
Art in PNS Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Thumper with speed , plays all over and decent on coverage. Look out Tight ends stretching for the ball with Nigel on watch !!!
todzilla Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Why did he get booted after that hit against the U? Led perfectly with the shoulder right as the ball was getting there! Looks like a big hitter around the ball a lot. Sam Cowart worked out pretty well from FSU, let's hope Nigel is similar.

JPS Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Kirk Morrison is back where he belongs...on the bench. If not now, soon. Seems like a good pick
OCinBuffalo Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Same thing I said in the shout: This guy kills people. He's not afraid of taking penalties.....and long as he knocks you the F out.
BuffaloBill Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 youtube.com/watch?v=qtUajtQCLwg It hurt to watch that hit and while it was brutal it looked clean to me.
BUFFALOTONE Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) 20 year FSU fan here. Got to watch every game last year. NB is extremely talented and should have been a first rounder but with a few scheme changes and his own knucklehead behavior it cost him. He's a big hitter and has a nose for the ball. Very instinctual but a little stiff. Does not sift thru the trash well, he is 1 st round talent when you combine all the positives, can be Cowart 2.0 but faster and bigger.

Billsguy Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 The Bills needed help on defense (linebackers and secondary) and on offense (offensive tackle and wide receiver). They have drafted to fill these needs so far. The remaining question is how good are these players? Nobody knows at this point. Draft grades should be broken into two parts. Part 1 answers the question, "How well did the draft fill specific needs?" Part 2 answers the question, "How well did the draft improve the team over the next several years?" The Bills seem to be doing well on part 1 so far. However, part 2 (the most important part!) remains to be seen and won't be known for years.
Sisyphean Bills Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Kirk Morrison is back where he belongs...on the bench. If not now, soon. Seems like a good pick Remind me again how many monster plays Morrison made last year...
Offside Number 76 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Good pick. And if he doesn't work out in the NFL, he can run for Parliament.
QCity Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 It's a great pick, I think we're batting .750 so far.
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Those who believe that NFL teams don't go by BPA are being willfully ignorant. There are multiple examples of NFL personnel stating that they go by BPA directly. So was the punter who went in the 3rd round the BPA?
Coach Tuesday Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 My favorite pick of the draft so far. Homerun pick.
Kelly the Dog Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 So was the punter who went in the 3rd round the BPA? The Bills are the luckiest team ever that they had four clear needs and the BPA in each round fit exactly what we needed. God loves us again!
