H2o Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Monroe could be Bills' target...I'm not buying the recent report that the Bills may make an attempt to move up for Alabama OT Andre Smith. Smith is being viewed as a right tackle in the scouting community, but the Bills are looking for a left tackle to replace Jason Peters. I wrote back on 04/19 and 04/21 that the Bills could make an attempt to move up to the Jaguars pick at No. 8 for left tackle Michael Oher, but a league source told me he didn't think the Bills would be willing to pay Top 10 money for a prospect that could possibly be available at the Bills pick at No. 11. Virginia OT Eugene Monroe is a whole different story, there's no chance that Monroe will slip to the Bills pick at No. 11, but he could be available at the Browns pick No. 5, depending on what happens in the first four picks of the draft. Moving up for a left tackle like Monroe, and paying Top 5 money, would make much more sense, than moving up for Smith, who is viewed as a right tackle candidate.-Al Fronczak http://www.eastcoastsportsnews.com/als09scoop.html I'd much rather have Monroe than Andre Smith.

lets_go_bills Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 The cost of moving up plus the contract given would be far too great for the Bills. They wouldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidas Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I still wouldn't. You might as well have signed Peters - the cost will be about the same and Monroe is an unproven and will cost draft picks that Peters didn't. But I wouldn't take my life over this like Andre Smith.

Dawgg Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 The cost of moving up plus the contract given would be far too great for the Bills. They wouldn't do it. The scary thing is, they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 That's a little better, though not by much. Hope that left knee holds up if they trade up for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky finger Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 After all we went thru with JP, this would really, really piss me off. Love the player, but not the road and cost it would take to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 This is ridiculous. We've got all these needs and we're begging people to take our draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
