Alphadawg7 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I think he could wind up being a real special player at FS...seriously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep2evans Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm !@#$ing pumped. This may be my favorite pick. Kid is picking balls out of the air with one hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I was initially upset before I thought of him at safety...honestly, I am starting to really like this pick, and I think with him at Safety we are in for a big surprise here... For me, Maybin is the big question mark, but if he pans out I think 3 years from now the Bills will have the best draft of this year because I think both our OL players will do very well for us and this kid Byrd is a serious gamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost chucked my beer through the window when I saw "CB" on this screen. My first thought was "he better be our !@#$ing safety," and now that I see how ridiculously well he projects there, I'm very excited. People need to man up and stop being so ignorant about a DB pick. OMFG!!!1!!1!!! another cornerbackz!!!!! He's our SAFETY and could be a special player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 byrd could be the next ed reed. i'm happy with our picks right now, i agree that maybin is the big question mark Maybin has huge upside, but is the least proven...if he pans out, this draft will have been huge. I agree...Byrd has the potential to become special at Safety, he's a ball hawk and he can tackle...sounds a lot like Ed Reed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rackemrack Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Same. I almost chucked my beer through the window when I saw "CB" on this screen. My first thought was "he better be our !@#$ing safety," and now that I see how ridiculously well he projects there, I'm very excited. yup, when i saw CB in the second, i almost threw a full can of beer at the TV until i realized he was a better FS than CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ax4782 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I admit I was fuming mad when I saw that the Bills had drafted a CB instead of taking Everette Brown at 42. Then after taking a deep breath and actually looking into the pick, I realized that he was very much suited to the FS position in our D and was a solid playmaker. Certainly an upgrade from the million dollar man Ko Simpson. Right now, three of our four picks are day one starters, and Maybin is going to see more and more playing time over the course of the season as he gets better. I think he and Chris Ellis are going to surprise some people this year when they get their opportunities. Those two may be our future at the DE position, especially if Ellis shows solid improvement over his limited playing time from last season.

Alphadawg7 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 bye roscoe! and most likely bye mcgee next year! I actually think we will extend McGee this year, maybe even before the season starts which is why I think they let Greer go... Because of McGee's age, he wont break the bank like a Clements or Winfield did when they hit FA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 The scouts says he has great instincts, extremely fluid hips, solid tackler and fantastic ball skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el Tigre Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I've watched Oregon play several times over the last few years and it seemed like Byrd was making plays every time. I remember him as a stout looking CB that seemed to be always in the middle of the action. He hadn't even crossed my mind until we drafted him. And then I was like, Yeah that Byrd dude,he can play!

Astrobot Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I think we'll see another reason for this pick tomorrow when we hear about a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Not only did we get a prospect that may be a great future FS for us but our STs are still lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 My guess is that opening day starters at the safety positions will be Whitner and Scott. I would imagine that they will bring in Byrd initially on any 3 safety/nickel formations, with the idea of Byrd supplanting Scott by the end of the year or the following one.
