marck Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Usually I am an advocate of drafting the best player available. However in this draft for the Bills, we must get in any order the following: DT - 2 OT - 1 OG - 1 FS - 1 SS - 1 CB - 1 DE - 1 RB - 1 There are 9 areas of need and we have 10 picks. If we were also to take this in relation to areas of need, I would go as follows; DT - Highest Priority OG/OT - Equal need at high priority SS/FS - Equal need at medium priority CB - Need 4th corner RB - Need inside presence DE - Pass rush end would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I don't see us even trying to fill all those holes in the one draft. That being said, surely it would be wiser to draft the best available(bound to fit into one of those areas of need). Then fix up the rest in 2007.

nick in* england Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I disagree we need an inside presence at RB. Similarly - I think we could fill 2 to 3 positions of need in this draft, the remainder of our picks being backup/project material for some time to come.

Dibs Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Ah, but yet another "best player available" may present... 668742[/snapback] True, but the opposite could happen... It makes sense drafting 'best possible' when you have lots of areas which need help. The following year, if we are closer, we can then draft for need. Drafting 'best possible' obviously increases the chance of getting superstar/playmakers. Drafting for need increases the chance of becoming competitive quicker. Personally, I want us to be able to win a Superbowl, not just make the playoffs. It will be interesting to see which way Marv goes. Hopefully we won't be able to tell which way he's gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how it analogizes with fancy windows. I also don't advocate strict BPA selection. I'm suggesting that if there was a no-brainer talented LB available, we should take him over a position of 'high need'. It won't be long till our LBs are old(or unable to recover from injury).
