Orton's Arm Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 As good a value as he may be, something tells me the Bills wouldn't have taken Youboty if Nate had been locked up to a long-term contract. The uncertainty about Clements' contract is too bad, because this team really could have used a good offensive lineman or two on the first day of the draft.
Greybeard Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Shake. Shake. Shake.......Shake. Shake. Shake.......Shake Youboty......Shake Youboty. 676554[/snapback] I thought this was funny. Now that I see you posted it, its real funny.
cåblelady Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I thought this was funny. Now that I see you posted it, its real funny. 676620[/snapback] Sign material.
BuffOrange Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 This pick should shut up all the people bitchin about jabari greer... 676540[/snapback] Yeah, Jabari cost us at least 4 games last year
EC-Bills Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 This pick should shut up all the people bitchin about jabari greer... 676540[/snapback] Yeah right. Some people here aren't happy unless they are miserable.
BoondckCL Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I LOVE the pick 676761[/snapback] Agreed. He looks very athletic, and by having the defensive backs to cover receivers for extended periods of time, that allows the linemen to get pressure and sack opposing qb's. If the opposing QB is impatient, a lot of picks could be seen in Buffalo this year. Marv is just trying to compose a power house defense.
true_blue_bill Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 nm 676432[/snapback] Over the years the Bills have used a lot of picks on DBs. And it has worked at that position. The secondary has not been so bad. But if I was running a team I think I would pick o-line at least once every year from second or third round. The Bills don't, and it shows
Fan in San Diego Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Another small guy with a high motor ! Can we please draft a guy that weighs more than 310 lbs on defense ?
fishmonger Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Good riddance to NC. After seeing Chambers eat him for lunch with fava beans and a nice Chianti, I hope Marv calls him and says: "7 mil not good enough for you? Well we just drafted your replacement." Click
EC-Bills Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Another small guy with a high motor ! Can we please draft a guy that weighs more than 310 lbs on defense ? 676789[/snapback] Kinda defeats the purpose of a Tampa Cover 2 defense...
John Adams Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Another small guy with a high motor ! Can we please draft a guy that weighs more than 310 lbs on defense ? 676789[/snapback] Small? He's pretty tall for a corner. You should talk to JSP.
Ghost of BiB Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Small? He's pretty tall for a corner. You should talk to JSP. 677041[/snapback] I don't think he's upright anymore. Too much gravity at the JSP homestead.
Chicken Wing '73 Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Good player, but I'm bummed that we didn't get Jean-Gilles 676494[/snapback] Don't worry, there's always tomorrow and he is still there.
Orton's Arm Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Don't worry, there's always tomorrow and he is still there. 677087[/snapback] Don't worry? Don't worry!! The Bills haven't had an offensive line since the Super Bowl years. This staff acquired some depth players for the line in free agency, but nobody you'd really say would be above average for a starter, or probably even average. The first day of the draft is over, and the Bills did nothing whatsoever today to address the offensive line. Yes, there's always tomorrow, and the Bills could meaningfully address the offensive line if they wanted to. I just hope they've placed it at the top of their priority list. Thus far, I've seen little indication that they have.
gobillsinytown Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 If they're going to play a "Tampa cover 2" defense, they're going to need: A fast, tough safety, and athletic corners who can tackle. I think if Huff had been there in the first round, they would have taken him instead of Whitier (sp?). This pick is in line with that defensive philosophy. This draft is starting to make a little more sense to me from that standpoint, but there were still enough talented D-linemen in the first round that would fit the new scheme. I think they're going to regret not taking a DL in round one, unless Marv and the defensive staff can work some magic in the lower rounds. During the previous Marv era, they always managed to find starting talent on the O and D lines in the lower rounds, so let's hope they can do so again. As far as what the "draft experts" say, they're not any more accurate with their predictions than we are. Guys like Mel are good at selling themselves, but the truth is his picks aren't any better than ours. The national media may be roasting the Bills on their picks, but that's happened before and the Bills have proved them wrong, and the senility remarks are getting irritating.
/dev/null Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I think they're going to regret not taking a DL in round one 677137[/snapback] Ever hear of John McCargo? http://www.buffalobills.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=122669 If you look around this message board you may find some info on him, like how the Bills traded up and drafted a DT at #26
jarthur31 Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Wow, we sure like Ohio State DBs......is this guy good? Anyone? 676440[/snapback] Are you kidding! Both Antoine and Nate helped build the #2 defense in the NFL. Winfield actually played in that was ranked #1 overall! You can't go wrong with Buckeye defensive backs.
ajzepp Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Are you kidding! Both Antoine and Nate helped build the #2 defense in the NFL. Winfield actually played in that was ranked #1 overall! You can't go wrong with Buckeye defensive backs. 677166[/snapback] I know, I know!!! I'm just asking about the new guy!!! lol I think we should take an OSU DB every year based on how they've worked out over the past several years, I just hadn't ever herad of this Youboty guy.....but thankfully many of you have, and now I know that he's a pretty solid pick
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 So we pretty much traded Travis Henry for the rights to Ashton Youboty I'll take it. Honestly in an ideal situation we'd re-sign nate and let Youboty develop and then challenge Mcgee for a starting spot. I still think Terrence would be best served as a nickle back.
