afcfan1 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 How do the Bills justify taking Maybin over Orakbo or Oher? Have you seen the pictures of this guy? He looks like a beefed up WR, not a DE. Even his highlights are not impressive. He's had 1 year of success in a mediocre - sub-mediocre conference. He is going to be physically abused by NFL OLmen. Love the Wood pick, but our OL is in sad, sad shape. Who is going to play LT...L Walker? He is a well below avg RT. There is no way he can play LT. Why do the Bills not seem to get what most other NFL teams already know? You build successful teams with the DL and OL. You can't get by with nobodys and other teams' castoffs playing on the line. I truly feel sorry for Trent this year. He is going to get killed.

FYI: Maybin was rated by most as the best pass rusher in this draft...so go take your beef up with them too because I am sure you are better suited to evaluate these players than professional scouts and NFL front offices...lmao

iinii Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Finally, four days after the draft SOMEBODY brings these points to TSW. I said it immediately. I said when we picked him there was no way he could stand up to the game New England brings (and others), like that little off tackle thing they do. Please. I also pointed out that U.S.C. had their way with him. The Trojans rolled all over them. Sanchez looked like he was having fun back there. Maybin didn't apply pressure on him then and won't now. I hope I am wrong but he ain't no end, maybe an outside linebacker but I doubt that with his speed. I said before the draft and I'll say it again, we need big boi lineman on both sides of the ball. Mean nasty types that take folks lunch money.
DrDawkinstein Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I said before the draft and I'll say it again, we need big boi lineman on both sides of the ball. Mean nasty types that take folks lunch money. we had the largest offensive line in the league for 2 years in a row and were ok at pass blocking and horrible at run blocking... agreed that we need mean, motivated players. but that has nothing to do with their size.

Let him pretend like Maybin still weighs less than 230. That at least makes for conversation.

beastly23 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Id rather have speed coming off the edge than a fat guy or a nodody like we have in Kelsay and an injured Schobel
Rock'em Sock'em Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 You build successful teams with the DL and OL. It would be great if the Bills would realize this and draft some OL and DL with early picks.

jester43 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 i have no idea if maybin can play, but walker didn't do any worse than peters last year so i am not as worried about lt as i am every other position on the line.
Thoner7 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Call him a troll but he makes valid points. Saying McShay and Kiper rated the kid as the best pass rushing end doesnt make him the consensus best rushing end. There is a reason all of those guys dont have jobs for real NFL teams. I take Mayocks word over those twos and Mayock was scared of him the same way I am. I will eat crow if he is better than Orakpo, but what will the Bills excuse be if he is not? I am concerned because we passed on having Orakpo, then passed on having Maybin and Brown. This seems to happen every year (the Bills take one position, but the wrong guy IMO). History has shown that I have been a better scout than the Bills. Evidence 2002: Bills pick- M.Williams My pick- B. McKinnie 2003: Bills pick- Willi McGahee My pick- Not Willis McGahee 2004: Bills pick- Losman My pick- Who is Losman? (I REALLY wanted Roethelisburger but he didnt fall, shoulda traded up from 13 to get him instead of trading to get Losman.) 2005: Bills pick- No pick 2006: Bills pick- Whitner/McCargo My pick- Ngata 2007: Bills pick- Lynch/Poz My pick- I would have traded up to get P.Willis, not Poz, but did want Lynch once Willis was gone. 2008: Bills pick- McKelvin My pick- DRC 2009: Bills pick- Maybin My pick- Orakpo I am not tooting my own horn here, most viewers on this board share/shared similar opinions on these players at that time. I think I must have more confidence in Chambers than any other member on this board. I think he will be our starter at LT for the whole year. He wont be great but he will be solid. I do wish we got Oher but I cannot complain with wood or levitre as they may be better picks when you take our whole roster into account.

LMAO at you are better at those picks than the Bills...you didnt offer an alternative pick in most cases, that means a pick available at our draft slot, not your fairy tale world where we traded up because it takes TWO to trade, you dont just rade up because you decided to trade up...not to mention, one trade up would have changed every single pick there after in every season...lol... You only had someone else on your Williams pick, McKelvin pick, Whitner and Maybin pick...and you are wrong on McKelvin, I would rather have him than DRC, and no one knows about the Maybin pick yet...so congrats on being right on two picks in 7 years...nice job. lmao...you should create a scouting resume of that and see if you can get scouting job... Is it me, or are the posts on this board getting worse now that we are heading in the right direction? Its so easy to critique picks after the fact, but at the time they were all made, the only questionable ones were McGahee and Whitner. Losman was hot and rising fast up the draft boards and because of how good Bledsoe was the previous year, it looked like it would be a while before we had a high enough pick to get such a prospect. McGahee was a luxury pick viewed by most as we werent seen as a team with a tremendous amount of holes and considering he would have been the 2nd or 3rd pick in the draft pre injury, they took a chance.
