Max997 Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 this rumor keeps coming up, they didnt get into details except to say they continue to talk about swapping first round picks...i just hope Marv doesnt make the trade until they are on the clock and D'Brick is gone ( or if he goes higher ), they have to wait and see if they can get lucky and have D'Brick fall to them the Eagles want a DT and it was initially thought they wanted Ngata but they actually want Bunkley who fits their style of defense better
roscoeparrishfan Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 As much as I like D'Brick I'd be happier if we trade down and get exta picks. The more picks we get the better the chances are to get lucky.

The more picks we get the better the chances are to get lucky. 673960[/snapback] I agree. We need more picks in a draft that is light on top shelf talent but fat on good to very good. More bodies=more potential to find that diamond in the rough.

BuffBills#1 Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 I wonder who we want at 14? Ngata probably will be gone, but there is a chance Justice will be there. M. Williams Bush Lienert Young D. Ferguson A. Hawk V. Davis M. Huff J. Cutler B. Bunkley Those players will all be gone by the 14th pick so that leaves a 50/50 chance that either Justice or Ngata will be there at 14th.
crackur Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Not to mention cheaper by the dozen. 673976[/snapback] yeah thats the NEW BILLS ERA lets get washed up/ cheap players I want to sit on the 8th pick and take the best available player screw extra picks

More bodies=more potential to find that diamond in the rough. 673972[/snapback] Exactly, that was JJ's philosophy in Dallas and Miami and it usually worked.

crackur Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Yeah Because we are only that one great player away 674000[/snapback] wel if your ok with mediocre then let's go with it
BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 wel if your ok with mediocre then let's go with it 674002[/snapback] Clearly, everyone outside of pick #8 is going to be a huge flop in the NFL... We need as many picks as we can get, and its not like we're even dropping that far. To go from 8 to 14 still nets you a strong starter.

Max997 Posted April 29, 2006 Author Posted April 29, 2006 wel if your ok with mediocre then let's go with it 674002[/snapback] how is dropping six spots to 14 and picking up another pick in the top 45 mediocre...and quite possibly still getting the player they want at 14

To go from 8 to 14 still nets you a strong starter. 674039[/snapback] Like any position in the draft #14 would be a crap shoot but it looks to be a 50/50 crap shoot recently. 2005: 1 14 14 Thomas Davis Panthers DB Georgia 2004: 1 14 14 Tommie Harris Bears DT Oklahoma 2003: 1 14 14 Michael Haynes Bears DE Penn State 2002: 1 14 14 Jeremy Shockey Giants TE Miami (FL) 2001: 1 14 14 Kenyatta Walker Buccaneers T Florida compared to #8 which has been a little more safer. 2005: 1 8 8 Antrel Rolle Cardinals DB Miami (FL) 2004: 1 8 8 DeAngelo Hall Falcons DB Virginia Tech 2003: 1 8 8 Jordan Gross Panthers T Utah 2002: 1 8 8 Roy Williams Cowboys DB Oklahoma 2001: 1 8 8 David Terrell Bears WR Michigan

Out of the 8th pick, Hall, Gross and Williams look to be good NFL players. Terrell is...well, I dont have to go there, guy is flop city. And Rolle, just like in college, has trouble staying healthy...only managed 5 games this season. So 3 studs for 14th and 3 studs for 8th. I'd still trade down and pick up a 2nd if given the chance.

KOKBILLS Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 WOW I still cant believe the Bears took D.Terrell 674067[/snapback] Well I know this is the Michigan Homer in me talking, but Terrell was a hell of a good College WR...I watched just about ever one of his Games in College and I was convinced he would be a productive NFL WR...He's one of my favorite Wolverines right behind Woodson, Hutch, and Braylon Edwards...

But alas...the Michigan WR curse struck him down.
