JasoninMT Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 If you were in charge of the Bills War Room, what are the top 5 needs? OT, OG, C, TE, WR, RB, QB, FB, DT, DE, OLB, ILB, CB, S For me... it starts on the Lines... We have to get better at putting pressure on the opposing QB. DE is a top 5 need... DT is not top 5 for now. OT/OG/C - really every one of these positions needs work - on the Starting line, not the backups... OT is top 5, OG is top 5, C is not top 5 TE is a top 5 need. We haven't had a strong TE in a long time. RB/FB/QB/WR we're ok for now - at least not a top 5 need imho for any of these positions. OLB/ILB/S are not top 5 - we're ok at these spots for now. CB - I think we still need another CB, not a starter, but with Greer gone I think we need a strong Backup/Dime... So... In order I'm going DE, OT, TE, OG, CB What would yours be? This isn't draft order or anything... Just importance...

LabattBlue Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 CB - I think we still need another CB, not a starter, but with Greer gone I think we need a strong Backup/Dime... How can CB be a need before OLB? You have McGee, McKelvin, Youboty & Corner. At OLB, you're starter(Ellison) probably shouldn't even be a backup and the LB depth is George Costanzo and DiGiornio Pizza.

VJ91 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 If you were in charge of the Bills War Room, what are the top 5 needs?... 5 rookies that make solid contributions this year, filling the OT, DE & OG/C weaknesses.
Beerball Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Cheerleaders, fried bologna sammies, better beer and a few players. that's only 4 things DE OT LB OG DT TE
SKOOBY Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Legalize pot for in stadium use, More parking for canadian ballet vans upfront, working emergency lights in bathroom, triple thermos size allowed with an additional mixer allowance, more 4:00 starts to afford the police time to arrest visiting teams "trouble makers" & authorize use of deadly force.
Coach55 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 It all depends how many draft day trades you can pull off. If you can pick up Scheffler and/or Henderson between now and draft day things would change, if not I would expect them to go DE, OL, TE, OLB, S, OL, WR...
NWPABillsfan Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 DE We need more presure on opp. QB OLB We need more presure on opp. QB OT Now with JP gone TE Was 3rd until the last trade C/G Sort of interchangable
Never NEVER Give-up Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 By need: DE, OT, OG/C, LB, DB/S then TE By talent available this year (there is no real sure thing in DEs in this draft, I'd rather we sign Taylor or shock the world and sign Peppers): OT, OG/C, LB/DE, TE, DB/S
JasoninMT Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 So, I broke down the responses like a basketball poll... gave 5 pts for 1st, 4 for 2nd etc... then ranked the total pts. Results were - 1. DE 2. OT 3. OG 4. OLB 5. C TE was a close 6th. If someone listed multiple positions, I split the points between them...
DasNootz Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Once we make our first pick, the entire order of need will change again. DE to me is the biggest need. Assuming that some ridiculous gift doesn't fall into our lap (Monroe, Curry, Jason Smith Crabtree or possibly Raji), I think we have to go DE. At that point, LB is no longer as glaring a need, espcecially with so many holes on the offensive side. OT is the second biggest need. Assuming that Monroe and Jason Smith are gone, and that we took a DE at 11, who's likely left at 28? If Andre Smith is still around, he's worth serious consideration. If not, you're looking at Ohr or Britton. I assume that Pettigrew is gone by that point. Second round... we need either a Center or a Guard. Our new FA pickup will play which ever we don't fill. I think Unger or Mack fit here. The top guard is Levitre, but he's a reach at this point.
JinWPB Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 DE>OLB>TE>LT>SS because we now have; No pass rush from the ends Keith Ellison 2 H-backs an average RT at LT a back-up SS taking over for a (1st rnd bust on the police sh t list.)
