bills1960 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 6'6, 320 lbs. sounds good to me. I don't care if he's ever played center or not, just put him there come OTAs. Snapping can be taught as long as the guy is willing to learn.
eball Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Great - a 27 years old practice squad player. Why not just invite Kyle Calloway back and then cut him again. I think it's time for the old "what do you expect out of a 6th round pick?" response...not picking on you, but at this point it's just getting guys you think have a "flash" of something and are giving them a look-see. Â Unless, of course, you fall blind-ass lucky into Tom Brady or Terrell Davis.
Malazan Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 If you're complaining about them not drafting someone in the eight round...I think you need to re-evaluate your life.
Nanker Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 We're coming out of this draft looking less like a block of Jarlsberg Swiss Cheese and more like a rough spackled wall. Far fewer weak spots now. Wow!
Brandon Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 There's nothing wrong with adding some depth along the offensive line. I like it, its a solid late pick and my guess is that he probably would've went a little higher if not for his age.
bananathumb Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Huge, super smart, saved a guy's life already...how can you not like him? Backup center for a few years, I hope.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Streeter may be udfa???? We should at least use our last pick on him
QCity Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Curious pick, some writeups say he fits best into a zone blocking scheme. I never heard of the guy, but this late, I'll take the word of our scouts. Â I'd still love to get a big WR, hoping McNutt or Streeter is still there in the 7th (but Nix said he is going to draft a QB at sometime so hmmmm)
Kiwi Bills fan Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 I just heard his post draft interview. He sounds like a very intelligent and even keeled young man. Â Go Bills!

Dan Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 1335644117[/url]' post='2451753']We're coming out of this draft looking less like a block of Jarlsberg Swiss Cheese and more like a rough spackled wall. Far fewer weak spots now. Wow! That's exactly how I see it! We have pretty well addressed every area of need in this off season (although, WR a little less so). But, if these picks pan out to be starters (in some cases) and decent depth (in others), this team going forward is completely rebuilt in 3 years. Â Obviously, it depends upon how these guys play, so I'm not calling it job complete. But what I like is Buddy is addressing the areas of need and doing it in a way that should work. In some respects, I would argue that that's all the GM can do. Now its up to the players and coaches to do their jobs. Â I am absolutely loving this draft and off season as a whole. Â Â
Florida Gator 14 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 We drafted a Guard in Round Two...at least according to the "experts". Would rather have had McNutt. Â Chan: "Use that term 'experts' loosely"
Beerball Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Token bone thrown to the west coast parttime scout... fixed
machine gun kelly Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 We looked better at O-Line b/c we threw in 2.5 seconds. The coaching and mgmt just won't say it, but they want that extra second so maybe god forbid we get SJ, Easley, Spiller, Fast Freddy, Chandler, etc. open by a half second.
nucci Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 We drafted a Guard in Round Two...at least according to the "experts". Would rather have had McNutt. The player in round 2 will be our starting LT. That's what he was drafted for.
Cash Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 We looked better at O-Line b/c we threw in 2.5 seconds. The coaching and mgmt just won't say it, but they want that extra second so maybe god forbid we get SJ, Easley, Spiller, Fast Freddy, Chandler, etc. open by a half second. Yeah, seriously. You can read between the lines in all of Nix & Gailey's O-line quotes. They're smart enough and classy enough not to throw their current guys under the bus, but they saw the same thing we all did last year -- the O-line was made to look good b/c of the quick-release offense. And we struggled mightily against teams who realized that you only have to cover our receivers for 2.5-3 seconds.
