BillsFan74 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000d5d...mp;confirm=true highlights: #11- OHER #28- PETTIGREW Add DE m. Johnson in the 2nd and C Caldwell in the 3rd, day one is looking good.
KOKBILLS Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000d5d...mp;confirm=true highlights: #11- OHER #28- PETTIGREW Why would Bills Fans like this? Neither one of them can Rush the Passer...I would be pissed off if We Draft Oher at #11...I'd MUCH rather have Orakpo, Ayers, Brown or Maybin...I know none of them are a sure thing, but The Bills need Pass Rusher in the worst possible way...It's still the #1 Need even with Peters gone...They need to take a shot at one of those DE's...Spending our 1st two picks on offense would be a complete joke...Then again this is the Bills so...
dave mcbride Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I love the NFL network, but anything that has Marshall Faulk listed as an expert has no credibility! He is so dumb it is painfull to listen to him speak. When he was playing, he was generally regarded as the smartest running back in the league and one of the smartest players on the field. He could read and diagnose plays better than any other back, and ran perfect routes.

He could read and diagnose plays better than any other back, and ran perfect routes. I recall hearing that he was a top-notch student of the game that incessantly studied game film to understand other clubs' tendencies and their players.
billsfreak Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 There is no way Pettigrew is around at 28. JMO I think there is a good chance that he is still around at 28. A lot of mock drafts, in fact almost all of them had him going just a couple picks before that to Atlanta. They don't need him now with Gonzalez there.
Haven Moses Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I would much rather have an LB at 28 than Pettigrew. If Clay Matthews is there and they pass on him, my head will explode.
thebandit27 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I found it particularly interesting that Mayock calls out Everette Brown as a second-round pick that goes in the first. Many of you know that I haven't been high on any of the "top" DEs, so it sort of validates the idea that pass rusher can be neglected at the 11 pick if Buffalo's board stacks up right.
damj Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Jets or Eagles will take him dependign on further trades. Second coming of Kyle Brady, let them have him! Jets have too many other needs ... if he gets by Philly at 21 (barring a team like Cleveland trading back into the first round), I think he's ours.

Why wouldn't Atlanta take him? I know they traded for Gonzalez, but how can adding a younger, more athletic TE that can learn from one of the greatest TEs of all time be a bad thing? Also, I'd expect Miami, Indianapolis, and/or Baltimore to take a long look at him as well. I really doubt he'll be there at 28. Just my 1 cent.
The Rev.Mattb74 ESQ. Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 This is what I hate about the day before the draft. With all these guys falling and climbing I am getting my hopes up we could get Orakpo and Malleluga. However we will end up with Maybin and Britton, Oh I am overwhelmed with joy.
OrangeJuiceSimpson Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Best receiving core in football??? We have pass rushers??? This lost credibility when those two things were said. That and the fact that Marshall Faulk is making selections.
Billsguy Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Forgett Pettigrew in Rd 1 ... go w/ T. Jackson or BJ at 11 (I know BJ not likely to be available but Tackson probably will be) then best OLB available at 28 (I thinking Matthews/Cushing here?). OT can be addressed at 42 (Beatty/Britton/Duke Robinson). TE in later rounds .... My philosophy is speed/skills in early rounds; bulk/power in later rounds ..... I agree with the order DE Tyson Jackson, then LB (USC) , then OT , then TE (Cook). (I would be willing to flip OT to 1st ,2nd or 3rd pick depending upon who's available at the time) However, my philosophy is build the lines first (bulk/power) and take the non-lineman later (after round 3).
