Buddy Nix has FINAL say for this draft....

 

I honestly believe Nix has NO say -- and has had no say -- in anything the Bills have done/will do since Chan was fired. Publicly, maybe. Privately, I'm not seeing it.

did you not see his last performance?

this. It was the same as Manti Teo. Overhyped and ridiculously over rated all year for no reason. Neither will have a good pro career. Mark it down in stone and put it over their graves. It's a done deal.

Buddy Nix has FINAL say for this draft......if and when whaley becomes GM remains to be played out....

 

having said that, its very possible that Russ Brandon wants a QB and has steared the "team" consensus in that direction. buddy has already tipped their hand....they are drafting a QB early.

 

I'm not saying you are wrong with respect to Nix having the final say on draft selections. But I have some "suspicions" that Whaley now has more authority. The Marrone hire seems more like a Brandon/Whaley hire and not a Nix type of hire. This is merely my own guess.

 

Whether Nix tipped his hand about an early qb selection is moot. The need is so blatantly obvious that this is a poker game in which all the cards are showing to everyone in and out of the game. At this point there is no need to be coy.

My money is on the Bills taking their QB at 8 (if they don't move up to get one). If another team takes their coveted QB before our turn, consider the draft a failure.

Marrone will have the first crack at the draft picks this draft. If he thinks they need a QB, then he will get whoever he wants. If he feels he can wait until later rounds and draft an early WR or LB and draft a QB later on then it will be so.

 

Just like Cjan had his "Waterbug" pick, Marrone will have any position or player he wants.

I hope they do not take any of these QBs with the 8th pick. I would rather see them use the 8th pick based on their board (presuming no QB in the top 8 of their board) and use the second pick on a QB (either with the pick itself or packaging it to trade up) or trading the 8th pick for a later pick in the 1st round plus other picks.

 

At this point in time, I do not think there is a QB worth the 8th pick. We can use that pick for an impact player without having to reach. Let's not be this year's version of the Titans (who reached with the 8th and took Locker).

Milner, do not be surprised......

 

 

this is a real possibility at #8.....Pettine's defense relies on one on one coverage by the corners.....

I agree. My main point is that Bills cannot afford to be passive even if it means taking the guy they want way ahead of "projections". I would be fine with taking QB at 8 if that is they guy they think they need, Mel Kiper and Todd McShay be damned. They need to get the guy they want.

 

After the last two drafts, I don't think moving up 1 round to get a QB you like is going to be viewed as a big deal even by the draftniks.

 

Noone saw Ponder going when he did, and Tannehill was considered somewhat reachy. There are a few more that I am forgetting.

 

My point is - the word is out there that you have to "reach" a bit to get the QB you want - which by my defintion isn't really reaching at all. It really just means the positional value of QB's has gone up even higher than it has been. All the success of recent youngsters only reinforces that.

If it's Nassib......take the best defender available at 8 then trade back into the last position in Rd 1

Hehe - 'tis true.

 

Pettine's defense is closest in style to Greggo Williams' scheme - modified old Bears "46".

 

Remember how the Bills had to go out and get Nate Clements and Antoine Winfield to play in his scheme? The defense leaves them out on an island a lot.

 

Gilmore's fine, but they need another.

 

 

Haivng said that, they are SO desperate at LB I'd rather hold off a year at CB and see if Brooks can step up.

best available player in 1st round......

 

use your 2nd & 3rd round picks to trade back into the late first round to get ahead of all those early teams who will use their 2nd round pick on a QB.

How good is Barrett Jones? Has his stock fallen because of his injury?

 

Its just one of those positions. The Pounceys, Mack and Wood were all highly regarded coming out of college, but none of them went higher than what, 17th or 18th? Just shooting from the hip with that #. I know Mack and Wood both went in the 20s. I cant remember where the Pounceys went off hand, but I had to guess the Steelers pick was likely in the mid20s and the Dolphins in the mid teens...
