Rockinon Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 I agree that he looks good, but if the Bills go offense and Mack is available we should grab him. We have not had a stud center since Hull left us and that kid is the definition of stud who plays with a nasty streak to the whistle. If we had Mack we could move Hangartner to guard where he has played before and where I think he is better suited with his size 6-5, 301. I was also watching the highlights of Urbik I thought he looked horrible, who would put a reel like that out? It was like watching a T-Rex on skates. Looked way too easy to shed those short stubby arms and he seemed to be off balance a lot. Michael Oher at LT though looks really good, if the Peters situation continues to degenerate, LT will become more of a need in this draft than Center where Hangartner can (hopefully) do no worse than Preston. Now this is a good idea.

Rockinon Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Don't sleep on Antoine Caldwell. Why is he rated only the 5-6th best college center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I was very much for drafting Duke Robinson in the second round, but recently I've changed my view. I've been reading from sources that refer to him as a player who doesn't give it his all during practices and lazy. I've also read that he is more of a mauler, and wouldn't fit too well in our zone blocking scheme, sort of like Dockery. I'm backing off Robinson and leaning more on Levitre for a thrid round selection. Agree. Kugler went to his Pro Day, though, I know that. Maybe we take TE and DE first, and look at Levitre and Urbik in RD3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Why is he rated only the 5-6th best college center. He projects as a Guard. But has played all 3 line positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
