Brandon Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 You wouldn't be talking about "Great" Dayne by any chance...would you? The biggest thing that scares me about Bush is his reported inability or lack of desire to block. I've never been a fan of them at all, but yes, the ridiculous pre-draft hyping of Ron Dayne is where I jumped off the bandwagon, never to return.
BuffBills#1 Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 One of those guys will probably drop to the 3rd round so I'de take which ever one dropped to the 3rd as long as it isn't Walker.
Fewell733 Posted March 12, 2007 Author Posted March 12, 2007 as you can see im high on lynch.. dont think we are high enough in the draft to get peterson.. i guess if bills go willis in rd one i would be very happy to see tony hunt in the second or maybe pittman in the 3rd?? i think a lot of these guys will drop farther then you might think being that there are so many.. you also left out brian leonard from rutgers btw... Brian Leonard - best video I could find of him, the highlights start at about the 50 second mark Is he a RB? is he a FB? Doesn't matter, he's pretty good at whatever it is that he does.
Squeally Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 I've never been a fan of them at all, but yes, the ridiculous pre-draft hyping of Ron Dayne is where I jumped off the bandwagon, never to return. That hype was unbelievable, wasn't it! What made it worse was an obnoxious friend who is a Wisconsin alum. He wouldn't stop talking about how great Dayne was going to be...at least I got the last laugh!!
makbeer Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I forgot about Jackson...I think he could be real strong. Pittman, Irons, Jackson are my 3 picks. Don't like Hunt...he lacks that "burst" to me. He can move fast consistently, but doesn't seem to be able to instantly explode out of a gap like the others.
TDRupp Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 The board is suffering from too much Lynch tunnel vision. Let's take a look at some of our other options that will be around in rounds 2 through 4Brandon Jackson, Nebraska - Tony Hunt, PSU - Antonio Pittman, OSU - http://youtube.com/watch?v=fMhonqcbXv8 Kenny Irons - Auburn (at the 1:48 mark) - http://youtube.com/watch?v=rzOQOOMId0c Michael Bush - Louisville (at 4:29 of same video as above) - http://youtube.com/watch?v=rzOQOOMId0c Darius Walker - ND (extremely lame tribute video) - http://youtube.com/watch?v=6h32lYOUksw of these guys I'm most impressed with Jackson, Hunt and Pittman They did not break it for me. Peterson is 1A and Lynch is 1b. They head and shoulders above what I just saw on the guys you have listed. A Pittman is the next best b/c of his threat to go all the way. needs to be better blocker and receiver but can learn and get better in pros. I'd take him with our second. B Jackson: very nice player butno home run threat. I'd take him in the top of the third. M Bush: Seems good but I don;t like his style. He will go much higher but for me, a 4th rounder... T Hunt is an anthony Thomas clone. Nice player but I thunk we should do better. D Walker: Not bad but not mt starting RB in the NFl and that is what we need. I'd take Pittman, Jackson, AP, or ML. That is who I like and want. I trust Marv and I am betting he'll take someone else... he loves to surprise!
Dwight Drane Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I forgot about Jackson...I think he could be real strong. Pittman, Irons, Jackson are my 3 picks. Don't like Hunt...he lacks that "burst" to me. He can move fast consistently, but doesn't seem to be able to instantly explode out of a gap like the others. I don't think the Bills have had a RB with burst since OJ. If the Bills have any interest at all in Chris Brown....save the money and take Hunt. I don't know where he would go as it looks like people say 2nd or 3rd. After comparing him to the others...I don't know how a cold weather team like GB,CHI,DEN,BUF,etc...doesn't try him in the 1st. Hunt and A-Train could pound teams and set up our play action. I hate seeing that video....I am convinced he's an All-Pro!
Nanker Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I agree on Irons and Pittman. I also like Brandon Jackson and Lorenzo Booker, but I don't think any of them are worth more than a 3rd. In fact, I wouldn't draft a RB after Lynch before R3. Not at all interested in seeing the Bills pick Michael Bush. The injury scares me, but in general, I do not like oversized RBs. They usually just end up being big targets for the defense to tackle. Agreed. He has a thick waist, can't block and tumbles too easily.
Flbillsfan#1 Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I don't like how Walker runs...he goes out of bounds a lot to avoid hits and I 'm scared about Bush's leg - not to mention for a big guy, Bush seems to go down pretty easy and tries to dance around tacklers he could easily plow over. Irons or Pittman would make me a happy camper. Living in Fla, being a SEC fan I would love to see Irons in a Bills uniform.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Hunt is the answer. Not that I'm saying that because I'm a PSU homer. I think he's a good kid, is both a power and speed back. He's the real deal, and I hope to see him in red, white and blue this upcoming season.
