Lurker Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 How many of these websites are there? And how do 'team sources' have enough time in the day to tip all of them off?
papazoid Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 do NOT trade UP.....the Bills are in excellant position at #11(great value of talent + pay).....just let it come to you.....trade down, yes....but NOT up......they are going to wing up with three outstanding players at 11,28 & 42. btw...that burger is bigger than H2o's head.....lol
H2o Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 what are you doing with my old avatar, bud Sorry Didn't know bro'. I'll look for something new
Steely Dan Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Talented? Yes. I hope we don't trade up for this guy though. He seems to be making alot of bad choices that could be seen as "omens" to stay away from the guy. VERY RISKY, IMO. http://www.eastcoastsportsnews.com/als09scoop.html God I hope Buffalo passes on him if he's still there at #11
billybob Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 If he falls I'd consider him at 11 -(Raji>A. Smith > T Jackson) but as a high level guard who can in a pinch play RT not as a LT, no way I move up for him
Band of Merriman Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 IMO no way we move up in this draft. By itself the guarenteed $ associated with moving up are prohibative. Buffalo's not going to invest long term guarenteed $ into a possible unproven head case. For the cost in picks to move up we'd have been better off keeping a proven young talented LT, than an unproven possible head case.
mjohns85 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 the only smith i would want to trade up for is jason smith
The Dean Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Per BuffaloFootballReport.com, Bills may be going after Andre Smith. Ehhh....I don't know about this. Huge talent, but between the Combine and manzere (or bro?) pro day, I'm queasy. I'm a Pettigrew guy, though. For you OT guys, do you like Andre? I also hear the Bills are high on Smith, but have heard nothing of a trade up. They are hoping Smith, Oher or Maybin is there at #11. Orakpo's name hasn't come up recently (as it did a few weeks ago), so I can't say if they are down on him, or no longer have hopes he will be there at #11. They would also like to get Pettigrew somewhere later in the 1st round. I honestly do not expect the Bills to trade up from #11, but wouldn't be surprised if they try to improve the #28 pick.
Leonidas Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 FWIW, from McShay: No OT for Bengals? We've heard a lot in recent weeks about the Cincinnati Bengals and their need for a franchise offensive tackle, but rumblings are starting to surface that coach Marvin Lewis could talk the organization into drafting Orakpo if he is available at No. 6, and assuming both OTs Jason Smith and Eugene Monroe are off the board. The Bengals have been looking for years for an impact edge rusher, and while we believe Orakpo fits best at end in a 4-3, he does have experience dropping into coverage and could give Cincinnati a lot of versatility and flexibility in its hybrid 3-4/4-3 system.
Armchair GM Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Per BuffaloFootballReport.com, Bills may be going after Andre Smith. Ehhh....I don't know about this. Huge talent, but between the Combine and manzere (or bro?) pro day, I'm queasy. I'm a Pettigrew guy, though. For you OT guys, do you like Andre? NOOOOOOO! Waste of money and the additional pick it would take! IF we go OT in the first @ 11, I'd like to see Oher, @ 28, Britton.
