Malazan Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Low completion rate, Super fast, and sure tackler...apparently lacks balls skills. I don't understand the hate...because we didn't take a TE that can't block?
YoloinOhio Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I have no opinion, mostly confusion. Did ANYONE see that coming?i did. Wanted OL but cb was the next biggest need imo
dayman Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I object to this pick on grounds of position/need. Nobody here knows anything about Darby so stop pretending he sucks. Could be a very good CB for us.
NoSaint Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 @BuffaloBillsPR: During Florida States national championship run in 2013, #Bills second round pick CB Ronald Darby allowed just nine completions and no TDs. Paired with being a good tackler according to pff -- let's not act like this guys a total bum. Unexpected but to rally against him seems silly. Especially since I'd bet most of us have seen very little of him.

26CornerBlitz Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 ESPN on Darby: What he brings: He's something of a risk due to some off-field issues and his questionable awareness in zone coverage and habit for guessing too much in man coverage. But he has the fluidity and top-end speed to turn and run with the fastest receivers -- his movement skills remind us of Janoris Jenkins. How he fits: Darby has one of best pure cover skills in this year's cornerback class and is a strong fit within Dennis Thurman's press-man scheme. Darby has the mirror skills to hold up on an island, which is exactly what Rex Ryan wants in order to execute the heavy amount of blitz packages he traditionally dials up.
dave mcbride Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I honestly think that this is one of those situations where no one on the board knows anything about the player (myself included). My suggestion is not to pontificate unless you have a remotely educated opinion.
Ontario51 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Darby looks like a Football player, I like the pick. Fast w/ good size welcome to Buffalo
MRW Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 If we were gonna take a smaller DB I would have taken senquez Golson from ole miss. He can track the ball well From what I see online he's 2 inches shorter and 15 pounds lighter than Darby, so I'm not sure how comparable they are.
symbiant Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 QB's avoided him. That's a good sign for how Rex likes to play.
Deranged Rhino Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I honestly think that this is one of those situations where no one on the board knows anything about the player (myself included). My suggestion is not to pontificate unless you have a remotely educated opinion. But that would eliminate the funniest posts!
NoSaint Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 i did. Wanted OL but cb was the next biggest need imo I thought dl would be the pick and get a similar reaction. Frankly we have a very good defense but to maintain that we have to cycle in young guys constantly and be ready for some of those middle class guys to be let walk. It's simply building a team in free agency. If you hit on them, you look great. If you miss....
Kirby Jackson Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I don't like the pick. IF, as KTD has suggested, the Bills can deal Leodis now for a starting OL (Mathis) I would be really happy. You are extremely deep at CB IMO.

4BillsintheBurgh Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) I have no opinion, mostly confusion. Did ANYONE see that coming? As mentioned above Leroi warned us. Multiple times. Feel free to search for Ronald Darby on this site. Edited May 2, 2015 by 4BillsintheBurgh
YoloinOhio Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 But that would eliminate the funniest posts! I have a few favorites. Bookmarking this thread.
