Levitre, and Dareus were our only contenders once Jackson went down.
Byrd was our best defender by far, definitely the most consistent.
-
The Bills used their 4th and 3rd round picks to move up in the 2nd to take Levitre, if it wasn't for the extra 4th gained in the Peters trade they may have never made the move. So yes, Levitre is here in part because of the Peters trade.
Peters has been great this year, but so has Levitre and Wood was playing really well until the injury shut him down.
We don't have to wait on the results of this trade, Evans was overrated and we got something for basically nothing. Willing to bet that Evans is cut in the offseason.
-
Tannehill will be gone way before the 3rd.
-
Trent Richardson to Buffalo.
-
Burfict is terrible.
-
I say there's no way KC passes on a QB and if they do and we don't move ahead of the Skins I'd be pretty damn pissed. Still too early to start the mock game however, but theres nothing else to discuss so why not.
-
He was not brought in to stop the run. He was brought in as a DE, who has now shifted to NT. And you're right: not his fault.
He's 3-4 D, who weighs 340lbs. Dareus played 3 tech DT and even NT at Bama. He's not a traditional DE, he can give you some pass rush and help collapse the pocket, but run D was his specialty at Bama, he says so himself.
-
He's been okay, some great games, but the average ones outnumber the really good ones. Everyone points at sacks numbers, but he was brought here to stop the run and so far the run d is still terrible, not Dareus' fault though. He still has a lot of room to grow as a player, wasn't kept fresh either with all the injuries we've had on the DL. Need a legit pass rusher rusher this draft.
-
Rogers may be a find, reminds me of McGee, not as athletic though. McGee had a great vertical.
-
First time he's touched the ball 20 times and only 12 were rushes.
He's been underutilized, he's a good player, but you can't do much when you're sitting on the sideline. Give him the ball and he'll create.
-
Did they really bench Stevie?
Guy is so gone.
-
CJ is finally looking OK, we should trade him for a fourth.
I'll be happy with a fifth, get it done Buddy!
-
Oh well, we'll have a better pick, not that it'll matter, waiting months so they pick another Dareus.
Yup, another bust am I right?
CJ looks ok I guess, am I right?
-
not watching. How does spiller look? thx
Looked good when he touched the ball, too bad hoe won't see more than a couple of carries the rest of the game.
-
Offense is doing nothing, this D can't last much longer.
-
IDK why you're laughing at my picks... My picks aren't to say that I would have picked them then, it means if I knew the outcome of the players now which we do and could go back in time that's what I would pick retard....
Take it easy it was in jest, some of you need to relax.
-
1. Pierre-Paul
2. Sean Lee
3. Jimmy Graham
4. Toss up between (Aaron Hernandez and Joe McKnight)
Hahahaha
The perfect draft, we should make you GM, I'm sure you would've made all those selections. Lol
-
Those first two were my picks on draft day
Thankfully you're not GM, Tebow is putrid.
-
I'd take Pierre-Paul, Anthony Davis, Iupati, Brian Bulaga, Maurkice Pouncey, all ahead of Spiller...
BUT...
I'd take Dez Bryant over all of them...Period...He's a HUGE play-maker...Remember, there was at least a few people who believed Bryant was a Top 5 talent...His Game transferred over from College and then some...He's a stud...
Pass on Tebow for now...Maybe if he develops a bit of a Passing Game by this time next year he could enter the discussion...I would still rather have Bryant though...
Just out of curiosity, have you watched A.Davis play? He's terrible. Bulaga's ok but there were much better impact players at that slot. At the time I would have drafted a DE/WR or Iupati/Pouncey, didn't like any of the tackles at our slot.
Veldheer was selected before the Bills 3rd round selection.

Easterbrook makes a claim a year ago that hasn't proven accurate and suddenly he's a hack unworthy of forming an opinion? Typical TBD response in the face of someone criticizing an organization going on 12 season without a playoff appearance.
Easterbrook isn't the problem, Buffalo's spendthrift ways, inept ownership, poor coaching, and inferior talent is. The big picture is that Buffalo recycles lower management all the while being run from Detroit by individuals concerned with maximizing the bottom line at the roster's expense.
No, Easterbrook has always been a ****ty football writer.
Maybin wouldn't have made a difference on this team, that's a fact and anyone with some semblance of objectivity would know that. My beef is with his "saving their jobs" statement, it's horseshit. With or without Maybin they're fine, they have bigger issues than that scrub.
We got 10 sacks against the Redskins, they have the worst line in the league. And Maybin's other 3 sacks have come against ****ty tackles as well, including our beloved Pears, also Scott Chandler who can't block a thing.
Cutting Maybin wasn't a move to maximize the bottom line, they wanted to go with players that showed more than he did and no one could argue with that. The guy was, and stil is trash, and that block by Barber in the exhibition game summed up Maybin's career as a Bill, on the ground laying flat on his back.
Heck, the Jets cut him again after camp and didn't bring him back until injuries surfaced, they took a shot because they had no one else. If Thomas stays healthy Maybin's not a Jet.

You guys up for a good laugh.
In the 2008 draft, Jersey/B used the sixth selection on Vernon Gholston; in the 2009 draft, Buffalo used the 11th choice on Aaron Maybin, and Denver used the 14th selection on Robert Ayers. All are hybrid defensive end/linebacker types who specialize in rushing the passer, and the three have combined for zero career sacks in the NFL. This year, Jersey/A used the 15th choice of the draft on hybrid defensive end/linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul, who specializes in rushing the passer. Pierre-Paul had just six sacks in his sole season as a major college player, finishing a distant 69th in Division I sacks. Yet in April, no team drafted Antonio Coleman of Auburn, a three-year starter who compiled 22 solo sacks in the SEC, college football's toughest conference.Drafts can be judged three years later. TMQ has a sawbuck that says in three years, the undrafted Coleman will be a more accomplished NFL player than Pierre-Paul, Gholston, Maybin or Ayers. Also undrafted in 2010 was Blue Cooper, who bested Terrell Owens' receiving records at Tennessee-Chattanooga. I would have drafted him for his name alone.
Easterbrook is a ****ty evaluator of talent. Someone remind him what JPP is doing. He thought all these guys, including Maybin, would get outplayed by Buffalo's Antonio Coleman. How's that working out for us?
LOL
Edit: What a hack? I'm sure he was writing about Nix/Gailey making excuses and mailing in the season when the team was 5-2. Does he mention any other injuries, no just Maybin, MVPaybin.
-
We should probably cut him, or maybe we can try to trade him for a 4th.

It's hard/rare for a DT to come into the league and set the world on fire. The only guys to really dominate in their first year is Suh and Kevin Williams, and you can make the case that Suh is having himself a sophmore slump if you look at his stats and inability to anchor in the run game, not to mention the penalties/suspension.
Ngata, Sapp, Jenkins, Wilfork, didn't see much time year 1 and took time to develop. Also have to factor in that Dareus would be a Senior this year, so I'm giving him until next season to real come into his own. Patience, DT is a difficult position to play. You can dominate with pure athleticism in college, different ball game in the pros, you best learn to use your hands violently or you're in for a rough career.
I don't understand how so many people can have opinions on interior linemen. If I'm watching the game on TV, I'm really not seeing that much of that play. And, when I'm at the game, I'm following the ball.
I would think you'd either have to watch film or be at the game and key on the play in the trenches (and miss the play) to really know.
Sometimes a player like Suh or Sapp or Sam Adams can really show up with huge plays. But, most of the time I think it's going to be something like Ted Washington. I never really saw him make a lot of plays, but I just knew when he was in there, he was said to be taking up two blockers and nobody could run on us.
I'm so stupid in this regard that in the late 80s, I thought Jeff Wright was better than Fred Smerlas, because you could see Wright make sacks. You couldn't see Fred tying up the blockers - but now I'm sure that if Fred in his prime played on the Super Bowl teams, that we would have won at least one.
The same goes for O-line men for me. I just have to take the word of those who watch film as to who is really playing well.
You make a good point, it's hard to take everything in on one play. I do make an effort to just stare at the front 4 from time to time, easier to do in the run game.
Yesterday I felt Dareus struggled in the 1st half, but stepped it up and had a good second half. Heard looked good in his limited time. It was easy to follow the DL yesterday because the Titans really didn't want to pass the ball.

Normally we have a Safety (Scott, Wilson/Searcy) or ILB (Sheppard) on the TEs. I dont remember seeing Kelsay, Batten, Carrington, etc dropping with a TE often or ever. Maybe out in a flat, but not downfield. Please correct me if Im wrong.
Finley torched Kelsay last year, when they asked him to cover, Edwards learned from that failed experiment.
If we're seriously considering playing a legit 3-4, we need our OLB to cover from time to time. Matthews/Ware/Harrison/Woodley all do it.

He may be overrating Pears, but it's true that they do a good job running to the right, though we had no choice given the injuries to our LTs. Solid player, can't really complain.
