ndirish1978 Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 If we traded down to the bottom of the first rd (Denver), we could pick both these people up. What do you think? Not possible?
JimBob2232 Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 You're absolutley crazy. Which one of those guys will be available at 29? Let alone 17 or wherever their first pick is.
Tortured Soul Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 The picks are 15 and 22. Kiper has them ranked 17 and 22. Maybe...
Coach Tuesday Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Looks like Justice has vaulted into the top ten after his pro day workout: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft06/news/story?id=2394532
JimBob2232 Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Yeah, there are legitimate mocks out there that have us taking both of these guys at #8. We would be lucky to pick one of them up at #15, but 22..not a chance
BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 I've heard a lot of bad things about Winston Justice. The one thing that keeps popping up is questionable maturity and poor decision making (both on and off the field). He's got all the physical talent in the world (maybe even more than D'Brick) but his brain leaves a lot to be desired. I dont know, I'd pass on him...we can still land a starting OT in the 2nd round with our high pick.
Ramius Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 I'd love the trade down, but i'm nto sure either will be there at #15, denver's first pick. possibly justice, but bunkley will be off the board before denvers first choice.
Pyrite Gal Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 My sense is: 1. There will be no definite gamebreaker picks avaiable to the Bills at #8 (ie OL players at even possible Boselli levels or DL players at possible Bruce Smith level). The only even seemingly poassible best ever at his position he might (but proabably won't fall is Vernon Davis at TE. 2. Fortunately, though this draft is quite unlikely to gove is a gamebrealer at #8 it appears to be a deep draft where reasonable potential first year starters may even be available in the third round. Unless there is such a clear drop-off between the best player available at the time of our pick and the players available next time we pick, I think we can comfortably let need drive us a bit more than it usually does in a draft where choosing one or the other approach is simply a false dichotomy. Any NFL team which does not weigh both factors and take them into account appropriately is simply stupid/ In the case of this question, unless the BAP is so head and shoulders above the second choice or above other players, the draft is such a crap shoot that almost every time I think you take two potential bood players over 1 potentially very good playetr. D'Brick seems to be head and shoulders above the other LTs in this draft so the Bills would be happy to have him. but as one scout apparently said they think he is Levi Jones good rather than Tony Boseeli good. Particulary given our many needs I think you yake a Buncjley and Justice over getting a D;Brick alone. Even if D'Brick plays well you lose badly anyway and next year is a rebuilding year rather than building off the substantial progress we are more likely to make if both D and D holes are improved.
Marv's Neighbor Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 None of the above! Trade down as far as possible, get as many picks as possible, and fill the OL/DL holes now! We can't afford any more expensive first round busts.
Ramius Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 None of the above! Trade down as far as possible, get as many picks as possible, and fill the OL/DL holes now! We can't afford any more expensive first round busts. 650536[/snapback] Exactly! By trading down, we can acquire most of the league's picks in the 6th and 7th round! Then we wont have to worry about drafting a possible first round bust!
superbowl Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Yeah, there are legitimate mocks out there that have us taking both of these guys at #8. We would be lucky to pick one of them up at #15, but 22..not a chance 650264[/snapback] I totally agree here.
colin Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 we are enamoured with the ppl who we are familiar with, but no matter who it is i like the idea of trading down and getting the best bigman available with each pick in the 1st round. we could grap Safety/LB as well as more big men in the 2nd and 3rd too.
ndirish1978 Posted April 3, 2006 Author Posted April 3, 2006 While we're talking about other players and where they'll go, I really like Bing from USC at S. His pri day numbers were good and I saw him play when they played us here and he is one hell of a player. When do you see him going? We need at least 2 OL in the first 4 rds, 1 DT and 1 S in my opinion
colin Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 i'd be happy with a solid OT and OG in round 1, or perhaps DT and OG, or whatever (assuming a trade down) there are about 4 Gs, 2 Cs, 3-5 OTs, 6 DEs, and 2-5 DTs worth taking at some point in the first 50 picks or so. if we trade down and get more picks i'll be happy. we don't have to get bunkley and whoever, but if we get a quality guy with each i'd be thrilled
