Brandon Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Not a clue wtf reggie corner is, but we did have really sh------- depth in the secondary, if he can help improve that, so a team like ne doesn't whip us like dogs next year, and in the future. I'm all for it. They've taken 6 defensive backs in the first four rounds since 2006. If their secondary depth stinks, its their own fault for drafting poorly.
Lurker Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 The guy has talent to be a first round pick, he is as talented as any first rounder, and still hasn't been picked... you tell me what the issue is. I did.
ndirish1978 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I would suggest that we forget about the past and just look at this draft for what it is
Sisyphean Bills Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Personally, moving guys with no instincts out and getting some kids with some skills in the secondary is not a bad thing. One can spray it with the cover 2 bs all day long; it still stunk.
ans4e64 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I did. So... you were agreeing with me, but felt the need to feel big and insult me, good job
BillsVet Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Or Courtney Anderson, Robert Royal, Matt Murphy, Teyo Johnson and 164 Passing Yards Per Game and 15.8 Points Per Game Because those guys were solid in Oakland, and the latter in Atlanta and Oakland. So where's the pixie dust for us to sprinkle on these guys to make them "good." They've taken 6 defensive backs in the first four rounds since 2006. If their secondary depth stinks, its their own fault for drafting poorly. Absolutely. DJ's probably asking how they can play more 5 or 6 CB type defenses.
truth on hold Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 They've taken 6 defensive backs in the first four rounds since 2006. If their secondary depth stinks, its their own fault for drafting poorly. yeah really, this has become defensive-back finishing school or something
stewy23 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 From looking at the scouting reports on Reggie Corner, I can only guess that the team is looking for him to be our "starting" nickel corner. He's not big or fast, but he has good coverage skills and is considered a ballhawk. I envision him to be a slower version of Aaron Glenn (in his later years.) Not a bad pick. Let's not overreact because they didn't pick ALL the guys we wanted.
ndirish1978 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 we had NO depth at CB, so this seems ok to me. McGee, McKelvin (Mac Attack Corners), Greer, James, Youboty, Corner- our secondary is addressed. If you'd never seen our corners, you would think they were Irish
In space no one can hear Posted April 27, 2008 Author Posted April 27, 2008 So far our draft is: 1. CB 2. WR 3. DT (Stroud) 3. DE 4. CB 4. ? 5. DT (Stroud)

Fewell733 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 They've taken 6 defensive backs in the first four rounds since 2006. If their secondary depth stinks, its their own fault for drafting poorly. not sure how you came up with that number (unless you're counting this year, and then it's still only 5). Also our safety depth isn't really the problem, it's corner depth. But even including safeties we still have only picked 3 since 2006 not counting this current draft, in the first 4 rounds 2006 - Whitner, Simpson, Youboty 2007 - no one and by the way, 2005 in the first 4 rounds? No one; 2004? No one; 2003? Terrance McGee, starter

jayc63 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Is anyone else thinking Bills can use a "Change of pace/3rd Down Back"...bigger than and better than the Alabama guy who was here recently (forgot his name already)??
Fewell733 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Fixed Wendling wasn't taken in the first 4 rounds
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Interesting pick by the Raiders to get WR Shields.
nucci Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Fixed What does that mean? All NFL teams make a profit. Is that what you were referring to?
