Kellyto83TD Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I would either go OT in this scenario, or trade back to get an extra pick to try and get that OT and Kelvin Benjamin later in the round. ^^This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Whatever it is, I really hope there is a run on QB before we pick. I am afraid teams are re-evaluating whether the "top three" QBs are worth a top ten pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjjr Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 If guys like Clowney, Robinson, Matthews or Watkins are gone could they look at someone like Stephon Tuitt, DE from Notre Dame? He has huge upside and can play that strongside defensive end in the base defense and then maybe provide a pass rush on the interior during passing downs.

Prickly Pete Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The Bills will always be well under the cap until they hit on a QB. Until that time there will be more than enough to go around. Once they renegotiate that QB's contract then you can worry about whether the team can afford to keep so & so. Take the best damn player who fits or trade back assuming someone is willing. I like this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Trade back. A top ten pick can be signed for 5 years. A team needing a certain position and on the successful rebuild would like to get a good player on a 5 year contract. This is a valuable benefit of being top 10. How can we trade back and stay in the value of top 10? Anyway, my choice: trade it to Pittsburgh for Rothlesburger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Rodgers isn't going anywhere. The Steelers would listen to offers on Big Ben Not for the 9th pick. Plus he is a d**k, and I wouldn't want to cheer for a creep. It's not gonna happen. Edited March 15, 2014 by Marauder'sMicro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) The pick has to be Mike Evans or Eric Ebron. I thought about Lewan and some said it perfect, you would have to plan on moving Lewan to LT at some point and thats never going to happen. Cheifs and Jags started their OT's at RT with the plan to move them to LT. I think the only other position we look at would be if Mack fell to us.

CardinalScotts Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'd go Evans if available , in not Mathews- some how both gone I'd pull the trigger on Ebron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Also, you take Ebron or Evans. Then you go RT and OG in the next 2 rounds, in any order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 They haven't really shown a big interest in the TE position, and I don't think they will start now for Ebron (who disappeared in many games). I hope there is a WR worthy of the 9th, but would prefer they traded down, and picked up another late 1st pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjt328 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 If they pick a RT at 9 they should all be fired. Least important player on either side of the ball and no team wins games due to a dominant RT. LT, ok...RT never. Top 10 picks should be impact players and difference makers, which no RT ever in NFL history has been. They can get a starter at RT in the 3rd or 4th round and be completely fine---day 1 starter. Let's stop the insanity with an RT at pick 9. They would get laughed out of the draft by other GMs and personnel people and deservedly so. This is ridiculous thinking. Last year, four tackles went in the Top 15. Eric Fisher, Luke Joekel, Lane Johnson and DJ Fluker. All played on the right side as rookies. Johnson and Fluker are expected to stay there long term. Three of those four teams made the playoffs. And one of the best teams in football - San Francisco - has a stud right tackle they drafted Top 10. Left side is marginally more important, but not as much as some make it out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 How can we trade back and stay in the value of top 10? Anyway, my choice: trade it to Pittsburgh for Rothlesburger. What is the value if he is not a need? Is BPA a need? Does that make it more or less valuable? At 10 we would most certainly be drafting BPA and filling one of our more marginal needs. We have few glaring needs and those lesser needs can be filled by many players and positions. I'd just as soon trade down and pick up an extra pick, possibly even out of the first if it gets us something very good, like a first and 2nd this year and more. A pick next year might have more value to us this year, I certainly think it will. I'm all for Big Ben coming to Buffalo. I was sitting there wondering why we didn't draft the kid the entire time, but I've been a fan of his since he was in Findlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) good point. Is there a player we can draft at 9 that we know would start for the 2014? Watkins would be 2nd/3rd WR, and still see limited playing time. The OT's/OG's would likely get playing time, but would they start all season? Would it be worth it? Does he have to start? (thinking of seifer's 9'ers...) I think Watkins balls out from week 1. No reason to keep him on the pine, he's way more polished than tj/Goodwin/hogan etc etc. prob woods and Stevie also. I would love to root for Big Ben. He's good for playoffs year one on this team one would think. Edited March 15, 2014 by Ryan L Billz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with defenses flip flopping their best pass rushers and if you want your second year QB to succeed. I have not decided who I would pick yet, but if the best player left on the Bills' board is a tackle, I have no problem with the Bills drafting a stud tackle. If the best remaining player is a difference maker WR (or insert another position), I am ok with that too. I also am ok with Bills trading back for fair return value. It is going to be a strong draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I still feel that Ebron is the right pick.....and it would be great if we could trade down a bit and get him...... - The Tight End is the young QB's comfort weapon. - We did resign Chandler.....both Chandler and Moeki are not speed mismatch tight ends...... - There is the injury concerns with Moeki....and for that matter Chandler hasnt been staying healthy lately either - Ebron while not as fast is a more athletic TE then the niners TE.......he is the kind of guy that LB's cant cover and is too big for corners - He also gives effort in the blocking game....which Chandler does not do I would like to trade down and get an additonal second.......then take a OG and a OT with those picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid teams are re-evaluating whether the "top three" QBs are worth a top ten pick. Could work both ways. If a QB or two falls maybe our pick becomes more desirable. All this Ebron talk...I'd say that there is zero chance that he's the pick unless we trade back. We've got 3 guys all signed within the past 10 months. I just don't see it in the first for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
