YoloinOhio Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I panicked and voted for Evans. His combine was flashing before my eyes. One of the 1000 reasons I am not a GM.
bisonbrigade Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Obviously Robinson is going to win, but I'm glad that at least my boy Mike Evans is running second. If Robinson is gone Evans would be next up.
3rdand12 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 also voted Greg. this thing about starting him at guard is interesting to consider , but i am not feeling it . If hairston is healthy ( big if really) then Bills can let Pears go if he wants starter money. If Bills know something about Pears big dropoff last season and feel he can play better for them again. I guess Robinson could play guard ? I voted Robinson (even though I am on record as not wanting a RT at 9). With that being said I think that the likelihood of Robinson being available at 9 is about as likely as Peyton Manning being available at 9. Careful , Kirby . I think its fairly possible he is still in the green room!
Kirby Jackson Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Careful , Kirby . I think its fairly possible he is still in the green room! He seems to be by all accounts 1 of the top 4 players in the draft and has separated himself as the best tackle. With St. Louis, Atlanta and Tampa Bay picking ahead of the Bills I just don't see it. There is a pretty good chance that Matthews is still on the board. If that's the case I would rather Evans. Edited February 28, 2014 by Kirby Jackson
bisonbrigade Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 1st round Greg Robinson OT. No Brainer. 2nd round Kelvin Benjamin WR. EJ's Favorite target at FSU. 6'5" tall. 3rd round Andre Williams RB. Fred ain't gettin any younger and BPA. 4th round. Chris Borland ILB. Move Kiko.

I hear you . He is rated The best. and rightly so.If it comes down to Matthews and Evans i would be happy with both either ! or a trade down one spot. Evans sure as heck showed up at the combine and got on my " welcome to Buffalo list "
Cash Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I voted Robinson (even though I am on record as not wanting a RT at 9).

Might be able to pick up a 2nd AND a 4th.

Evans sure as heck showed up at the combine and got on my " welcome to Buffalo list " I don't know why it is...But Matthews does very little to excite me...Yet there are some very respected scouts out there who believe he is the 2nd best player in this Draft...And it's not that I don't know he's a very good prospect...I guess he just lacks hype...And maybe that's a good thing...

Quiet type like Glenn ?The pieces i have read say he is technically sound , smart and an excellent athlete. Robinson is "dominating and has a high ceiling " If they are both consistently rated in the top 10 , we should be pleased . But thats the way i feel too ^. Edited February 28, 2014 by 3rdand12
bisonbrigade Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 If this could happen I would be all for it We know it won't though.
greenmohawk Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I would take Taylor Lewan from Michigan over Robinson. He could be the real best player in this draft.
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I went with Robinson too, but I am still hoping that Mack or Watkins falls to us. +1....1000 % !!! No love for Justin Gilbert ??
YoloinOhio Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 +1....1000 % !!! No love for Justin Gilbert ?? Is that you Dick Jauron? CB at 9?
TPS Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Does this poll mean the fans of the first 8 teams voted to bypass Robinson? Man, that is totally unrealistic.

He doesn't lack the hype in my view! Jake Matthews is the son of ex NFL Houston Oiler linemen Bruce Matthews, a 14x pro bowl selection who played in the NFL for 18 years, and is in the HoF. Bruce's father was Clay Mathews Sr who played in the NFL in the 50's, and his brother **Clay Mathews Jr played in the NFL for the Cleveland & Atlanta for 19 seasons. Bruce is also the uncle of GB Packers LBer Clay Matthews 3rd, and Eagles LBer Casey Matthews, and Kyle Matthews who plays at USC. His son Kevin played center at Texas A&M and is now playing to the Washington Redskins. Bruce was the O line coach for the Titans last year. Talk* about bloodlines...this kid is a top 5 pick and almost a lock to play in the NFL for ten years. I highly doubt either Matthews or Robinson fall to the Bills at #9. **It was LBer Clay Matthews who stepped in front of a Kelly pass intended for Thurman Thomas in the Cleveland end zone, and thus ending the 1989 Bills playoff game in Cleveland that year.

OCinBuffalo Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 How the hell wouldn't you take Robinon, when everybody else is of lesser or = value at 9? Not to be a pain, but, what is the point of the vote? What is there to vote about? If Robinson is there, you take him. The only question is: will he be there? The question aggregates 2 premises(he will be there/he won't be) as though the answer isn't 100% based on which one is true.

You can't follow the NFL and not know that Matthews is a bloodline kid...That's not the kind of sizzle/hype I was speaking about...He's known as a technician...Solid...High-floor kind of kid...There's not a ton of buzz about him because the other two OT's are freaks athletically...But Matthews may be the better player regardless...That's all I was referring to...
d_wag Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Assume the following are off the board: Bridgewater, Manziel, Clowney, Watkins, Bortles, Mack and Matthews. That's 7, who's the 8th player off the board in this scenerio? Bit pointless to choose without knowing.
