MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Who is the best DT prospect? If he's worthy of close to the #4 pick, I'd take him. I think that Peters plays LT, Gandy slides over to LG, and Preston plays OC, leaving the Bills to fill RG and RT. But I don't think they use the 4th overall, or even a high 1st rounder, on those positions (and in the case of RT, again).
Rico Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 If Quinn is smart, he stays with Weis for another year.
Clockwork Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Trade down, get a DT AND Hawk. 531556[/snapback] Down to where? Do you really think that Hawk will last past 5 or 6?
MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 The Bills need a dominant DT before they need another LB'er. I'd say they also need an OL before a LB'er.
thisiskeith12 Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 The Bills have much more needed areas than LB. With Spikes back next year, the LB spot MAY be something to address after next season. If anything, they need to trade for more picks, select nothing but offensive linemen, and have an offensive linemen camp before mini-camps.
MDH Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Why on earth would the Bills consider taking a QB or a RB? After all this time if they STILL haven't figured out what the real problems with this team are I'll end up having a heart attack on draft day.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 I think this is the year the Bills could very well trade down for more picks. unlike in 2002, there are more high-profile guys who should be available at pick #4, like Leinart or Young.
Adam Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 I'd grab Hawk in a heartbeat! He won't play to his potential until we fix the DL situation, but it would be hard to get a defensive player of his caliber later on- he's a true playmaker
booya2 Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 D'BRICKSHAW FERGUSON! MAIN MAN!... HOME TEAM... ALRIGHT!
JDG Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Haloti Ngata - The Tongan Terror.... although I highly doubt that the Bills will be picking 4th.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Haloti Ngata - The Tongan Terror.... although I highly doubt that the Bills will be picking 4th. Yeah, I see his name being mentioned as the best DT. As for picking 4th, I don't think he's rated in the top 5 anyway.
JDG Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Yeah, I see his name being mentioned as the best DT. As for picking 4th, I don't think he's rated in the top 5 anyway. 531651[/snapback] After all... those December draft ratings are made in stone. O.k., so we all know that Reggie Bush should be #1.... but personally, I'd hate to draft the next Levi Jones this year and be skewered by Mel Kiper on draft day for "reaching"! ;-) JDG
Rayzer32 Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Brady Quinn, QB from Notre Dame. Moments later TD and staff are notified that Quinn passed on the NFL and that several months earlier he announced that he is staying at ND for his senior year, thus forfeiting their 1st round pick. .
sfladave Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 I will be shocked and be ready to go on a murderous rampage at OBD if we were to select a QB, RB or LB in the 1st 3 rounds much less the 4th pick. OL, DL, OL, DL, OL, DL, then maybe a S. The exception would be if we were somehow able to get Bush, but that is a nearly impossible scenario that is not worth worrying about.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 After all... those December draft ratings are made in stone. O.k., so we all know that Reggie Bush should be #1.... but personally, I'd hate to draft the next Levi Jones this year and be skewered by Mel Kiper on draft day for "reaching"! ;-) Settle down. I'm just saying that with guys like Bush, Leinart, Young, Ferguson, Hawk, etc., a guy like Ngata probably won't go in the top 5 and the Bills could have a shot at him if they pick lower than 4th.
Kultarr Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Ah, there are a lot of QBs on that list... QB? Why do we want to pay big cap percentages to and train a QB for some other team? Assuming the guy becomes an NFL QB at all? (Most QB picks are nothing but wasted 1st round picks.) Besides, we already have a green-as-fresh-mown-grass QB on the roster. Just say "No!" to another rookie QB!
