Virgil Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I am so burned out thinking about the draft I just want to sleep The one thing that I just can't get past is, what guy out there is a can't miss pick? Outside the top 2 OT's, which will be gone, if we "reach" or trade back, what are we missing out on? This is the first draft I can remember in a while where it seems that every single player has a knock on him. I've seen mocks where the same guys going 5-10 also go 20-25. No matter who they take, I can't see myself getting too upset because I don't have anyone that I feel like they are passing up on. The only thing that would make me angry would be if they pass on someone and hope he's there later, and miss on him. That's why I think I'm on the bandwagon of take your guy and don't care if it's a reach.
ProbablyWrong Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 The closest thing is the Notre Dame TE Eifert. No team had a personal workout with him because he was such a sure thing. That is saying something. Also, who my idea pick would be.
section122 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I wouldn't even say the top 2 tackles are bust proof. Mike Williams and Bryant McKinnie anyone? 1 of them made it, the other? We all know...
Alphadawg7 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Eifert and Warmack. And I think the Bills are more likely to take either guy over strongly rumored Nassib or Tavon if we stay at 8. My gut feeling: Eifert will be the pick and will be a dangerous weapon for years to come.
Nanker Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 There are a bunch of guys that will be in the League for many years. Trouble with the mindset here is two form: 1st we need a QB desperately (or so the conventional wisdom goes), and 2nd the solid players don't have the "value" of an Eight pick in The Draft. Warmack, Eifert, and Jon Cooper, are in that group. I'd put Ansah in as well, but he's off-the-charts potential high-end, and off-the-charts raw at the same time.
papazoid Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 these are your can't miss guys: #1- Luke Joeckel #2- Chance Womack #3- Eric Fisher #4- Dee Milliner #5- Jonathan Cooper #6- Lane Johnson
NoSaint Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I wouldn't even say the top 2 tackles are bust proof. Mike Williams and Bryant McKinnie anyone? 1 of them made it, the other? We all know... It's amazing how often the can't miss guys actually are misses....
Virgil Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 these are your can't miss guys: #1- Luke Joeckel (Will be gone) #2- Chance Womack (Same as Cooper) #3- Eric Fisher (Will be gone) #4- Dee Milliner (5 surgeries) #5- Jonathan Cooper (We said we won't take a guard) #6- Lane Johnson (Will probably be gone, or trade bait if there) I agree with where your heads at, but doesn't help us in my opinion
Brainiac21 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 these are your can't miss guys: #1- Luke Joeckel #2- Chance Womack #3- Eric Fisher #4- Dee Milliner #5- Jonathan Cooper #6- Lane Johnson Miliner could be injury prone... Warmack could be like Mike Williams... Dion Jordan may never put on enough weight and be a combo of maybin/curry.. (though i doubt it) tough to say Floyd or Lotulelie won't at least be solid.. and Cooper. There's probably some "guaranteed" starters if not pro-bowlers.
section122 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 It's amazing how often the can't miss guys actually are misses.... especially at the tackle position. Mike Mamula and Robert Gallery are just 2 more examples off the top of my head.
Virgil Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 I'm hearing more and more that people aren't as high on Floyd as being projected. All about who his competition was. Just saying
947 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Eifert really has the highest floor among the top-20 IMO. At worst, he's just a really good TE.
Lurker Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 these are your can't miss guys: #1- Luke Joeckel #2- Chance Womack #3- Eric Fisher #4- Dee Milliner #5- Jonathan Cooper #6- Lane Johnson I like that list, but waver a bit on Johnson. For all the hype about his athleticism, I worry about about a guy with such limited experience at the position.
Maddog69 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 There is no such thing as a safe pick. Remember when Rolando McClain and Aaron Curry were safe picks? How'd that work out?
Malazan Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 There are 5 can't miss players and the Bills should definitely take one of them: 1) Eddie Lacy 2) Giovani Bernard 3) Jonathan Franklin 4) Spencer Ware 5) Le’Veon Bell
KD in CA Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) It's amazing how often the can't miss guys actually are misses.... Here's a 'can't miss' thread from the 2010 draft....lol http://forums.twobil...can't miss" Now, if there was a true can't miss prospect like Tony Mandarich..... Edited April 25, 2013 by KD in CT
Kelly the Dog Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I think Eifert is the can't miss guy as far as bust proof.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Outside the top 2 OT's, which will be gone, if we "reach" or trade back, what are we missing out on? What top 2 tackles? especially at the tackle position. Mike Mamula and Robert Gallery are just 2 more examples off the top of my head. FWIW, Mike Mamula was a defensive end.
