MattF2000 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 If we don't make the playoffs, which we're not supposed to (Altho I am still hoping and in no way giving up on the season), we need to draft...... Calvin Johnson of Georgia Tech. Now I know this is premature being it's only week 4 but I've been watching this guy play and he's exactly what our offense is lacking. 6'5" 235lbs WR that runs a 4.35 40 yard dash. It's apparent we have no red zone threat whatsoever and Evans is still learning to be a #1. This guy is exactly what we need. And everyone here seems to think risking a first round pick on an OLineman would be a big mistake (see MW), then I couldn't think of a better guy to hope we get next spring. Like I said I know this is way premature but I was watching more highlights of him today and had to post. Then again he'll probably be a top 5 pick if he opts for the draft (he's only a junior) but damn he'd fit so well in our offense.. well probably anyones offense.

billsfaningeneseo Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Just wait for the "we need to draft offensive linemen early" and "no more skill players in the first round" comments.....not saying I personally disagree with you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that he'll most be likely gone in the top 5, if not top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 That guy is a stud, he reminds me a lot of Larry Fitzgerald coming out of college. No chance he lasts until #32 ( )let alone #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I'll hold out on saying qb giving losman the season. I'll say right now our biggest needs are de, lb, te, lt,rg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Good post! What this team needs is more early round wideouts and defensive backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 de, lb, te, lt,rg I thought the DE (#49) from Purdue made it a game yesterday against Notre Dame. Anyone catch that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 The only way I don't draft a DE or Olineman is IF Johnson was there. He is a can't pass type of pick no matter what your needs are. For the record though my top needs are DE, LT, RG and yes, another DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Yeah, clearly the best WR in the college game today. Too bad Reggie Ball is throwing to him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 This would make Rich pretty happy. But I think WR is the last position we will need next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Depends on how the season goes. If Jp struggles like last year near the end of the season then we should pick up another Qb, but not from the draft if possible. However I strongly think that we would need to pick an offensive lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been having random dreams like that and they keep coming true. I'd say BOOK IT. I'm actually serious, I've had weird dreams that keep coming true. Clairvoyant?

Astrobot Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 DE, LT, RG and yes, another DT. I like these. I think JP could use one more lineman now and one more backup. Whether they come from the draft is another question entirely, as I think your starter LT ought to have experience. Witness the Robert Gallery learning curve.

He will most likely be the first pick in the draft next year, he is T.O. without the problems drafting an O-lineman in the first round isnt a mistake if your front office knows what they are doing and they pick the right guy. You dont draft a RT with the 4th pick and you def dont take a RT over a LT who was clearly ther better player. TD made the mistke picking Williams, if he drafted McKinnie we wouldnt be talking about a mistake. Not to mention O-lineman from Texas never seem to work out in the NFL anyway, kind of like D-lineman from Penn St McKinnie is Pace or Ogden by any means but he is a good LT and they are hard to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattF2000 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 I still can't believe some people think we need to spend a first round pick on a quarterback. I'm not saying Losman is amazing but he has definitely held his own this year. I definitely do think we need some OLine help I suppose I am just weary of the first round pick on one. It looks like we won't be in a position to pick up Calvin cuz I think most of you are right he's a top 3 pick probably. Kiper has some OT's on his big board although i don't trust his word for anything. He was definitely bashing Marv over the Whitner pick. But even after today I still feel we need some red zone help, I suppose a solid big TE would be nice too. But OLine help I think is a must, we still seem to really struggle running the ball around the goal line. Finally got one in today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinandjokin Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 As long as we pick white defensive linemen in rounds 2-4, I don't care who we get in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP has done sh-- in the league. He hasn't even led us to a Super Bowl like Brady and Roethlisberger did in their first and second years as starters. Why wait to replace JP just cut him and his 71 of 111 for a 64% completion 4 TDs (one rushing) only 1 INT and Qb rating of 90.6 right now! He's a loser. He hasn't shown any improvement and this team will be lucky to win 2 games with him starting at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
