Bill from NYC Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Sounds like you wish to squeeze Ngata. Not that there's anything... Ourlads, an actual scounting service with ex NFL scouts, calls Ngata the classic boom or bust type. ( Some coach will try to make a silk purse out of a sows ear ). A ringing endorsement if I ever heard one for giving someone a huge contract. Same goes for Bunkley ( a 2nd round talent, small ) and Gabe Watson (Inconsistent, questionable effort and weight issues ) . If you reach for a need at #8, you get Mike Williams more often than not. Gabe Watson would be a nice gamble if around in Round 2, because he has a big upside. But with that top pick, you might be smart to accept a trade down and gather extra picks. If you are stuck, you draft the best athlete available and NEVER reach. 643794[/snapback] Perfect post Mark, but why would one expect less from you? Because of these 3 qbs (and Croyle who will almost certainly sneak into the first round), there should be many opportunities for a trade down. I am all for this, providing the Bills get what the #8 is worth, which is a ton.
John from Riverside Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Actually I forgot about Jason Jefferson.... He actually did a good job as a run blocker when he played....and he is a wide body to......
EC-Bills Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Do let's see...Bannan gone....edwards gone....adams gone....That leaves Triplett and Anderson as our only two DT's on the roster before the draft.... Let's hope they address it or else this team will be easy to run on......even easier than last year..... 643495[/snapback] Brown and Jefferson
ans4e64 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 2 things: 1. it is clear that ngata is a gamble and has issues, but we want him because he is a need. 2. why dont we just take michael huff, he would be the best player available, and you cant say he isnt a need like ngata, our starting SS as of now is freaking coy wire, if thats not a need i dont know what is.

justnzane Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 is anyone thinking about the Bills switching back to the 3-4, cuz that could be possible as Ryan Denney is the classic 3-4 Strong side DE, and schobel would be the weak side DE. This would allow for Crowell to start at WILB and Fletcher at SILB, this would leave TKO at WOLB and Posey at SOLB. This may be a better option than using 2 DT's with poor depth at the position.
dave mcbride Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 There will probably be a good DT or 2 who will be cut after 6/1. We will be able to sign him with the money we save by dumping Moulds and his entourage, and hopefully we will get at least 1 DT in the draft. Additionally, the return of TKO will be an instant upgrade to the defense. 07 will be the year to rebuild the foundation of the Buffalo Bills Football Team. 643773[/snapback] june 1 doesn't matter anymore. no good players last till then -- agents ensure that players have march roster bonuses so that they can get cut while the getting is still good on the FA market.
Rico Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I can see taking one on day 1 and a second on day 2 but to me two on day 1 is overkill. 643787[/snapback] I would've agreed if Pickett or a decent FA signed... but Tripplett is the only true talent on the roster at DT right now IMO, and even he's not all that.

I think that it could work w/ Tripplett As well as Fletch And Crowell up the middle, but who knows what grampa simpson is actually thinkin?
SnakeOiler Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Or they could just go to a 2-4-5 defensive scheme...some colleges run that pretty effectively. Would be hard to scheme against us, and keep lots of speed on the field. (JUST KIDDING!! -- sort of....could it be any worse)
