VABills Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Okay let me throw an idea out here. Is it possible that Parrish could be converted to CB? Maybe he is a replacement for Nate next year. He seems to have good hip motion, obvious from special teams run backs.
Clockwork Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Problem is, whether you say it is no big deal or not, the first time he gets counseling, the second a 4 game suspension, the 3rd a year long bench sitting. Do you really want a guy who doesn't know enough not to smoke right before a "known" drug test. He won't last 4 years in the league. 316265[/snapback] You have a good point. I just felt it was unfair for you to judge me, and felt like I had to justifty my point. That being said, we didnt draft Hawthorne, and we wont have to worry about him, and Ron Edwards is our starting DT.
kegtapr Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Preston summary from PFW: "Should get drafted late and could develop into a fine backup at the next level." I know, I know...McNally's judgement has to be trusted. But I just don't see this kid as being better than Justin Brown. 316266[/snapback] My only question would be would this kid have been available in round 5 or 6?
Brandon Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I'll take McNally's word over "the draft guy who gave him a 31." JMO.... 316268[/snapback] I'm pretty sure that I've read that the Bills brought him in for a visit a couple of weeks ago, so they probably know what they're doing with this pick. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Brandon Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 My only question would be would this kid have been available in round 5 or 6? 316274[/snapback] That's the one thing that bugs me about the pick. Then again, maybe the Bills felt that he was a good enough prospect that they didn't want to take a chance that he might sneak through another round or two?
brihs2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Any chance we are spotting the rest of the NFL draft because we are so good? Not a bad pick in Preston but i would have gone with a different center if i were a GM, which i am not. For those of you who watched the entire draft yesterday... as pick 55 approached and you saw names that had been targeted on this board get picked, did you believe there was anyone the bills would draft this year that would be in the starting lineup come opening day? I didn't, so i can't say i am that disappointed.
Arkady Renko Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 If ESPN comments on this pick, please let us know.
Arkady Renko Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 33 on the Woderlic apparently. Remember C is one of the most important positions to have smart people.
drhockey Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Kiper just mentioned that he was surprised that Jason Brown wasn't picked first and basically thought that he was a better prospect than Duke Preston.
drhockey Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Plus, Denny Green just took a little swipe at TD and the Bills for not making the trade
bartshan-83 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Plus, Denny Green just took a little swipe at TD and the Bills for not making the trade 316316[/snapback] rrrrrrreally? pray tell, what did he say? I'd love to know but have no TV right now.
VABills Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Plus, Denny Green just took a little swipe at TD and the Bills for not making the trade 316316[/snapback] He said the Bills backed off the Shelton part of the deal and only wanted a pick.
bartshan-83 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 He said the Bills backed off the Shelton part of the deal and only wanted a pick. 316321[/snapback] Assumes LJ will be cut huh? Or doesn't like him at all. I'd bet on the 6/1 cut.
drhockey Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Yeah, it wasn't much, but he just said that it was such a shame to put so much time into talking about the trade and then to not actually pull it off. He also said that they were looking at player for player only no matter what Buffalo was saying (although, i thought that's exactly what we were saying all along?)
BillsFanForever19 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Darren Sproles is gone What do you guys think of T.A. McLendon?
AJ1 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Assumes LJ will be cut huh? Or doesn't like him at all. I'd bet on the 6/1 cut. 316324[/snapback] Yeah, real stupid move by TD. Trade even up a player TD has no intention of cutting vs one Denny hates and probably will cut. Very stupid move (according to Denny).
VABills Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Yeah, real stupid move by TD. Trade even up a player TD has no intention of cutting vs one Denny hates and probably will cut. Very stupid move (according to Denny). 316340[/snapback] I believe Travis will be cut if he isn't moved before camp. Therefore if you look at it that way, it was one cut posibility for another.
djfarr00 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 My only question would be would this kid have been available in round 5 or 6? 316274[/snapback] ne picked macklin? i htink at og yesterday w/ the 31st pick. Baas whom most of the people around here wanted was still on the board. sometimes our ratings are different the kipers. and here's the kicker.... sometimes we're right BAckoff
Pac_Man Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Finally a decent pick! I'm tired of us neglecting our offensive line, and even a 4th rounder like Preston is a LOT better than ignoring the line! I'm sure McNally had a lot to say about this pick, so I'll trust his judgement. Now we need a LT, but what kind of LT can we get with a 5th - 7th round pick?
