The Jokeman Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Other pluses for Wright: -He's a mixture of power and quickness (something we're building to every position) -He's interested in proving the scouts wrong -He's more experienced than most of the DT's above him 658317[/snapback] Not to mention Texas has been pretty good at producing DTs the last few years as Marcus Tubbs, Casey Hampton and Shaun Rogers come to mind.

Bob in STL Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I think we could find a very good DT later on in the draft if Ngata is not the option in the first. I wouldn't mind seeing Gabe Watson, Babatunde Oshinowo, Jesse Mahelona, or John McCargo being drafted by the Bills. Too bad we don't play a 3-4, as a guy like Rodrique Wright would be a great fit as a DE in a 3-4. I wouldn't want him as a 4-3 DT, though. 657841[/snapback] All I know is that it is extremely rare for a rookie DT to step in and quickly make a postive impact.

R. Rich Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 We are very weak in a number of places. We are desperately weak in one...defensive tackle. Trade down if necessary but we need a defensive tackle who can start and that means Ngata or Bunkley. After that you are really rolling the dice. I don't see much choice at 8 or at our first trade down pick. 658154[/snapback] I believe there are more than 2 DTs in this year's draft class that can play well in the NFL.
