Sisyphean Bills Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 This kid has to walk in the door and be our pass rush because the Bills didn't get him any help in this draft. Maybe Chris Ellis will come out of nowhere??
In space no one can hear Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 An excerpt from the site: corner.bigblueinteractive.com Which aggregates various scouts comments. AARON MAYBIN Penn State 6-4 250 4.73 1 Just a third-year sophomore. Redshirted in 2006, backed up in '07 and wasn't starting in '08 until Maurice Evans was suspended after three games. "He plays hard but he's not experienced," Baltimore personnel director Eric DeCosta said. "He's raw with a lot of his techniques. He's not physically as mature strength-wise. He's undeveloped." Finished '08 with 12 sacks, giving him 16 in two seasons. "His first three steps are like Jevon Kearse," one scout said. "The closest I've seen to Kearse. He doesn't run as well as Derrick Thomas. But he's not real heavy in there and his weight gain in a short period of times scares me a little bit." Played the Rose Bowl at 226, then was 250 at the combine. Classy individual with 25 on the Wonderlic. "He's a player that will be reckoned with," Arizona scout Jerry Hardaway said. "You've got to get him stronger. Sometimes you see him all out, sometimes he isn't. Athletically, he'll fit a 3-4 or a 4-3. He could be as good as he wants to be." Vertical jump of 40 inches.

BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 This kid has to walk in the door and be our pass rush because the Bills didn't get him any help in this draft. Maybe Chris Ellis will come out of nowhere?? You hit it right on. If they could have gotten another big body to help Stroud then the opposition may be forced in to blocking with a TE RB combinationdue to double-teaming the interior. I think Chris Ellis will be given a shot and I hope he takes it. I'm rooting for both but pardon me if my confidence is wavering. By the way I am happy with ALL the other picks..... outstanding. Byrd and C. Harris are both better than R. Corner, and I'm an RC fan.
Rustado Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 I think washington is lovin the bills right now!!! I liked Orakpo BUMMER
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 I think washington is lovin the bills right now!!! I liked Orakpo BUMMER apparently the bills did not
VOR Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I finally did a little looking-into Maybin versus Orakpo, who was the guy most everyone else wanted. Forgive me if this is repeating things already stated. For starters, Maybin just finished his redshirt sophomore season, while Orakpo finished his redshirt senior season, and as you would guess, Maybin is almost 2 years younger than Orakpo. So if anything, we should be comparing Maybin's past season to Orakpo's 2006 (redshirt sophomore) season. And during that season, Orakpo was 238#, and he got up to 250# for his junior season. I don't know what he benched, but I'm sure it wasn't 31 reps and was probably closer to Maybin's 22 reps. That tells me that Maybin definitely has room to grow and get bigger and stronger. Other things that set him apart from Orakpo are work ethic, desire, and his first step/explosion off the snap. Erik Flowers had none of these things and was a parting shot by Butler to Ralph.
LynchMob23 Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Maybin will be on ESPN's First Take today (around 10a) take a look and see what he's chattin' about!
RayFinkle Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I hate that I hate the pick, but I hate it. Two years later and I still hate it.
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Good solid need pick, we had to get the best pass rusher and did so. Taylor was much thinner then this guy and and had some great years with Miami, didn';t he???? Boy, I screwed up this one real bad.
akm0404 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Funny to see who has always been a homer and who could call a spade a spade. Very insightful on some current posters...
NoSaint Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Overall Football Traits Production 2 A third-year sophomore who declared with two years of eligibility remaining. He redshirted in 2006 and played as a backup and on special teams in 2007, when he notched 12 total tackles, including four sacks. Had a breakout season in 2008, when he started all 13 games and recorded 49 tackles, including 19 TFL. He also led the Big Ten with 12 sacks. Height-Weight-Speed 3 Adequate height for a DE. Has added bulk and appears capable of adding 10-15 more pounds to his frame. Likely to settle in as a rush-LB in the NFL. Is in great physical condition (just four-percent body fat) and displays excellent straight-line speed. Durability 1 Played in all 25 games during his two seasons of eligibility at PSU. Appears to be a flexible, healthy and durable athlete. Character 1 Very mature for his young age. Had to grow up in a hurry after mother died from birth complications when Aaron was six years old. He is a natural leader both vocally and by example. Non-stop motor is infectious. Great football character. Not aware of any off-the-field issues. Defensive End specific Traits Agility/Quickness 1 Exceptionally quick, even for his type of hybrid DE/OLB. Shows excellent agility and closing burst to the quarterback. Possesses top-shelf body control, as well Strength/Toughness 3 He is lean and must add bulk to frame. Is light in the rear and shows marginal ability to stack at the line of scrimmage when teams run at him. However, don't mistake small for weak or soft in his case. He is aggressive and feisty. He displays good initial pop and adequate upper-body power. And he certainly does not back down from a one-on-one physical battle. Instincts 2 A natural playmaker with a knack for jarring the ball loose. Very good snap anticipation and awareness as a pass rusher. Should only continue to improve in this area with more experience. Pass Rusher 2 Quickest first step of all the edge rushers in the 2009 class. Fluid double moves. Bends the edge tightly. Shows quick hands and strong enough upper body to keep bigger blockers off his pads. Still developing his array of pass rush moves. Gets caught too frequently trying to spin out of double-team attention and needs work in that regard. Run Stopper 3 Spent a lot of time last season working head-up on the TE as PSU's strong-side DE. Shows discipline with backside containment. Stays low and fights to keep his positioning. Can stack versus most TE's but gets washed out too easily by bigger OT's when they get into his pads. Trait Scale 1 = Exceptional 2 = Above average 3 = Average 4 = Below average 5 = Marginal That was... Depressing.
