hondo in seattle Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 LOL. He went to Los Gatos High School. Los Gatos is in your neighborhood. What's the scouting report?
RuntheDamnBall Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Los Gatos is in your neighborhood. What's the scouting report? Cue Crayonz!
gumby Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Keiko Alonzo yet other higher rated guys on the board looks like a panic and a reach. Hope we get a TEin the third Higher rated by whom exactly?
John Cocktosten Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Kiko is rock solid. He played in a super aggressive scheme at Oregon which should translate well here. He stood out during the Rose Bowl game vs Wisky as one of the best players on the field which was loaded with talent (Just don't watch his interview after). He's always around the ball. Very good pick.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Well....I really don't know. I'm willing to look some problems from early in his life due to alcohol, and if he's mocked as a 3 down LB I really think he could be worth it. I still would like to see Dansby brought in at a reasonable price. Our front seven would be monstrous.
Jkgobills Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Not worried about the drinking....Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith all drank heavily...that was the last time we were good
KOKBILLS Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I am and I love the pic! He can cover, he's tough as hell, and his earlier off field issues kept him from not being a first/second round grade. This kid is a great prospect in Pettines defense. Exactly! I think Pettine is going to love this pick big time...You want an attacking Defense? Alonso fits that mold perfectly...
NoSaint Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 It was neither panic nor reach... I like Alonso more, I mean a lot more than Te'o... Alonso is a legit player with excellent size for his position, and I think he's going to be a force for Pettine on the inside..If anything Alonso needs to dial it back a bit...He's an animal... Also, Oregon players had to be in GREAT shape
KeisterHollow Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 He looks perfect for Pettine's "hybrid" defense. Man, Lawson, Bradham, Alonso - they're virtually interchangeable - sure, Bradham is a little shorter, but they're all fast, good coverage LB'ers who can tackle. If Alonso is capable of lining up on either the inside or outside, it'll make it that much more easy for Pettine to mix things up. As far as I'm concerned, we're a nice TE and CB away from having talent lined up everywhere - some of it young, no doubt, but I couldn't be more pleased with the picks they've made. Granted - I was really, really high on Tank Carradine and Ertz in the second, but when they were off the board, considering who was available, I think Buffalo has done an outstanding job of filling holes.
Bronc24 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Absolutely love guys who say, "I've never heard of him". The Bills have and you'll excuse me if I defer to their board over yours.
BRAWNDO Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Hackett got some new toys with the first two picks. Now it was Pettine turn.
Jim in Anchorage Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I bet they told Pettine he was allowed one pick on the second day. I love the speed kiko plays at. Does anyone know if he's completely sober now? Right now.? Probably. Tomorrow? Who knows.
FLFan Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 OK, am I the only one who will be joining the chorus of "Who the !@#$ is this?" Never heard of him, never saw him mocked. I mean, I want some people at ILB, but I really haven't even considered this guy. Which is why you are a poster on a fan message board and not an NFL scout.

IDBillzFan Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Breaking into and sleeping in someone else's place? Nice. You know who else broke into someone's house and passed out on their bed? Robert Downy Jr. And look at him now!!!
DrDawkinstein Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Absolutely love guys who say, "I've never heard of him". The Bills have and you'll excuse me if I defer to their board over yours. And this kid was a star player on a major program that is consistently ranked high.
nobody Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 At least Marshawn Lynch isn't around anymore for him to hang out with.
TPS Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1631825/kiko-alonso This from the analysis sounds like he was meant for Pettine:"Versatile defender who could prove to be a moveable "chess piece" for a creative defensive coordinator. Just starting to scratch the surface of his potential..."
