Kelly the Dog Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 If we were smart we would. But we're not. So we won't. Unless it's a fluke. Which is possible. So in that case we might. But it's not likely that this is a fluke year. So we probably won't. But we havent had a fluke year in several years. So this could be one of them. But percentages say no. So I personally don't see it happening. But I have been wrong before. So this has a distinct possibility of happening. But I'm usually right. So it would be unusual if this were one of those times. So history says we don't. But history doesn't always repeat. Although sometimes it does. So we might.

The Bills are so bad at drafting O-linemen, and they realize this, that they simply don't do it. That's why every year they try to pick up someone elses leftovers, this year being no exception with 2 already on the roster, or overpay for someone the think is good and really isn't. They rarely draft anything higher than # 7, seemingly like a child who's had their hand slapped one too many times for reaching into the cookie jar. The F.O./Ralph should can the whole lot of them just for the annual display of ineptitude re: building an O-line alone. IMHO. YEAR # Taken Round(s) =============================== 2008 1 round 7 2007 none 2006 2 round 7 2005 2 round 4 (Preston) round 7 2004 1 round 7 2003 1 round 5 2002 2 round 1 (Mike Williams) round 7
The Dean Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I'm guessing the Bills pick at least two OL this draft. At least one of them is day #1.
extrahammer Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 If he stays, which I hope he does, I say we stay with a defensive man our first pick. If not, then I'm scared.
billybob Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Bills Board might look like this 1.Raji, 2.Andre Smith, 3.Michael Oher, 4. Tyson Jackson/ Brian Cushing Still undecided.
SKOOBY Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 Bills Board might look like this 1.Raji, 2.Andre Smith, 3.Michael Oher, 4. Tyson Jackson/ Brian Cushing Still undecided. This is obviously a straight forward draft, that I like.
The Dean Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Bills Board might look like this 1.Raji, 2.Andre Smith, 3.Michael Oher, 4. Tyson Jackson/ Brian Cushing Still undecided. I'm guessing Orakpo is high on their board, if he is available.
extrahammer Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I'm guessing Orakpo is high on their board, if he is available. I've heard Orakpo isn't high on their boards as he's more just a pass rushing type DE, not an all-downs DE. Orakpo isn't as strong against the rush. edit: I don't claim to have inside connections, but tomorrow night on Bills Fan Radio, we have 2 insiders well-credited and respected that do have inside connections. This is based on what they've discussed with me prepping for show. And I drive a Toyota. =)
billybob Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I'm guessing Orakpo is high on their board, if he is available. Chances of Orakpo being avalible is about 1%, Raji about 10%, Andre Smith 40%, Michael Oher 50% Tyson Jackson 50% and Cushing 99%

One of my inside (sorta) sources claims he is on the top of their board. But, that was a couple of weeks ago.
Dawgg Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 that's possible, as things certainly changed. One of my inside (sorta) sources claims he is on the top of their board. But, that was a couple of weeks ago. I'm very weary of "dominant" players from Texas translating to the NFL. Here's hoping they avoid Orapko. I think this draft is very simple. If they decide to stay put at 11, take the best D-Lineman/O-Lineman/LB available not named Orapko. If for some reason Sanchez is available at 11, work the phones, find a desperate team, trade down for additional picks.
billybob Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I think the most interesting think to watch in first ten picks is how many offensive skill players get picked - root for QBs and WRs to be picked and if Beenie Wells get in considered yourself blessed.
KOKBILLS Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 I'm guessing Orakpo is high on their board, if he is available. I'm guessing Orakpo, Maybin and Ayers are all high on The Bills Board... I just hope one of the 3 lands in Buffalo...

Nanker Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 All this fuss about nothing. Everyone knows The Bills will be taking Malcolm Jenkins.
Lofton80 Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Bottom line is it takes a good football man to realize a Northeastern team needs strong lines. A smart decision like this is too big for Russ Brandon. Belichek and Parcells would see it not a marketing guy.
