RD 6, Pick # : G Mark Asper - Oregon

fixed

No wonder they made these guys available to WGR.

 

Not like they were doing anything at the time...

[Cash]

By the way, no discussion of Asper vs. James Brown, whom ESPN lists as a guard, and whom the Bills had in for a pre-draft visit? I really don't know anything about either one, but some of you hardcore draftniks must have an opinion.

Asper was very solid for the Ducks paving the way for LaMike and one of college football's most prolific offenses. Smart guy, solid character, could be a future starter on the o-line... from a Duck fan living in Oregon I love the pick!

I'd still love to get a big WR, hoping McNutt or Streeter is still there in the 7th

Welp, so much for that...

Guys- I'm happy with this draft. We can maybe increase depth at o-line, d-back, which you can look at it that we had no rush so that is a compounding factor, but also we had a weakness. This means we get a rush, i think a stud at LB with Nigel (love that name), some depth at tank, and and who knows if Chan can get our new WR toy to break out. You can only do so much with what is on the board at each pick.

 

I'm just so happy we have football people picking players. I really believe in Chixley. If Ralph will stay out of the way, keep the pocketbook open, we can create a winning team in 2012, and really make a push in 13, and 14. I'm just sick of telling my boys who play the game how we were in the playoffs for 11 out of 14 years from the late 80's to late 90's. This is not the team i grew up watching. Have a long view and watch them start winning.

 

BILLS MAKE ME WANT TO SHOUT!

We drafted a Guard in Round Two...at least according to the "experts". Would rather have had McNutt.

+1

Paulson would be a good pick ... but not sure Buddy will stay in the head that long nor if the Bills place more value on a guy to clean the stadium or a tight-end.

McNutt. McNutt. McNutt? You mean the guy that Iggles took with the 24th pick in ROUND 6?

You wanted him in the 2nd?

 

Wow man. Just Wow. You know how to rank a Draft board.

On where they see Mark Asper fitting:

 

We needed a center. We’ve got Colin Brown playing there, we’d like not to wear him out and we wanted to get another center. This old boy is as big as a house, too. He plays center and guard. He’s 6’6 ¼” and 330 or whatever and really a better player than people think. He’s a smart guy. He should give us some help.

 

On if Asper played center prior to the All Star game he participated in:

 

He’s worked there. How much he’s played there, I don’t really know, but I know he worked there in practice.

 

Glad to hear this (esp his practice experience at C) from Nix.

 

On another note: Nanker, I think you misinterpreted 3putt's statement...(even if I disagree with him - Glenn has been, and will be, a LT)

Reaction?

 

Barring injury, I see him on the PS. If develops like Buddy seems to think he will, he'll be the fist one called up if and when somebody goes on IR.

He'll get his shot to show what he's got. That's all one can really ask for.
