BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Yeah, they've brought in 157 o linemen now, a 6th on a CB isn't that big a deal
Brandon Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I realize its only a 6th round pick, but good grief. The Bills have: Terrence McGee Ashton Youboty Reggie Corner Leodis McKelvin Drayton Florence And now...Cary Harris. So...who gets cut?
Steely Dan Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 The first pick I hate. This guy has a history of injuries. The guy pulled a hamstring while running the 40 at the combine for cryin out loud! They already drafted a ST guy. I'll be surprised if he replaces Wendling. IMO, this is a totally wasted pick. I understand the best available player thing but at some point need should take a slight edge over best available. I also find it hard to believe that this was the best dude left on the draft board.
gus2378 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 NFL.com scouts profile says: Good zone defender. Reads the quarterback's eyes and is quick to close. (Fits the defense, I guess) Tough player. ... Aggressive in run support. ... Evades blockers well, but isn't afraid to take them on if it means getting to the ballcarrier. ... Reliable open-field tackler. ... Breaks down in space well and delivers a solid blow. (all good stuff) BUT Seems content making the secure stop rather than going for the interception. (So he should fit right in, since this is the one trait just about every Bills corner has shared for about 10 years) I know you have to draft guys that fit your system but .... It's 50-50 at best that this will still be the system a year from now. If they do not get better, the rebuilding will be all that much harder with all these zone corners/small safeties/small LBs/DEs that can't play the run ... just sayin' ...
Sisyphean Bills Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Who'd they really lose in the secondary? McKelvin, McGee, Simpson, Corner, Whitner, Wilson, Florence, Fox, Scott, Youboty, and Wendling are still under contract. Now they added 3 more guys.
Christopher Capolupo Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I realize its only a 6th round pick, but good grief. The Bills have: Terrence McGee Ashton Youboty Reggie Corner Leodis McKelvin Drayton Florence And now...Cary Harris. So...who gets cut? I don't think they cut any of them to be honest. We seem to find an injury somewhere in there (and earlier in the season at that). Harris might be a PS player this year??
BillsFan74 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Our late round picks suck. RJ Francois was on the board, in rd 5 Freeman was on the board. every year it's the same BS with the front office idiots.
d_wag Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 It's the 6th round. This pick is probalbly just for depth and special teams. Why get so worked up over it?? or cut completely - he's going to have to earn a roster spot, and it will be an uphill battle judging by the numbers at the CB position now
lets_go_bills Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Oh c'mon. Enough with the DBs. Seriously. What the hell. This looks like a ST/Bobby April pick. Ugh, I hate it. Stupid pick, IMO.
Thoner7 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I know it's the 6th round, but what the hell? We took 3 cb's last year. What's the freakin' point? Why not take a DT or an oline player? Yuck. The Bills have had very good luck with OL and DL in late rounds in the recent history, stick too it IMO. Where does he fit into the roster though? We have 5 very good CBs already. Maybe playing safety? We already added one of them, so Im not too sure what the plan is, may be this years K.Kox
Bill from NYC Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Who'd they really lose in the secondary? McKelvin, McGee, Simpson, Corner, Whitner, Wilson, Florence, Fox, Scott, and Wendling are still under contract. Now they added 3 more guys. Just absolute insanity. Why not take a chance on a DT? It won't stop either until we get rid of Jauron.
BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Our late round picks suck. RJ Francois was on the board, in rd 5 Freeman was on the board. every year it's the same BS with the front office idiots. Francois is a nightmare waiting to happen. Given the Bills recent off field crap, they weren't going anywhere near him
Lurker Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 every year it's the same BS with the front office idiots. And TSW GMs...
Fingon Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Oh c'mon. Enough with the DBs. Seriously. What the hell. This looks like a ST/Bobby April pick. Ugh, I hate it. Stupid pick, IMO. Why? Cary Harris was graded as a 3rd rounder by many scouts, so why not take him in the 6th? The worst thing that could happen is that we waste a late round pick.
Steely Dan Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I don't think they cut any of them to be honest. We seem to find an injury somewhere in there (and earlier in the season at that). Harris might be a PS player this year?? That's a good point but IMO PS players should be UFA's. JMO
Brandon Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I don't think they cut any of them to be honest. We seem to find an injury somewhere in there (and earlier in the season at that). Harris might be a PS player this year?? If he's a practice squad player, then he's going to have to be cut first. They're not a part of the active roster. If he's any good, someone will just sign him off the practice squad and this pick will have been flushed down the toilet.
Bill from NYC Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Why? Cary Harris was graded as a 3rd rounder by many scouts, so why not take him in the 6th? The worst thing that could happen is that we waste a late round pick. Let's grab another one in the 7th!
CatInJax Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I don't understand how they feel that was the best value for us right now, I mean I know they want to stay true to their draft board, but at some point you also have to stay true to your roster and who has the best shot at making it and then staying on it.
BillsZubaz Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 He is a 3rd round value, so i can see why they took him in the 6th. So do I. Its not that he wasn't a good value. It's how many DB's do we need going into camp? We now have: 1. Terrence McGee 2. Leodis McKelvin 3. Ashton Youboty 4. Drayton Florence 5. Reggie Corner 6. Dustin Fox 7. Cary Harris AT CB 1. Donte Whitner 2. Brian Scott 3. Ko Simpson 4. George Wilson 5. John Wendling 6. Jairus Byrd At Safety Then we have two former safeties who are trying to be made into smaller linebackers/Special Teamers in Jon Corto and Nic Harris. Am I the only one thinking this is excessive?
