  1. Carolina also drafted 2 QB's last year, pulled Keith Null in from STL and still have Matt Moore on the roster, I'm not sure they go with a QB. If they go with Green, that would leave Miller/Newton on our board per NGU assuming DEN goes Dareus. Pass on Newton and take Miller! Possible QB (Ponder/Dalton/Kapernick) in the 2nd and Mark Herzlich, SILB, Boston College in the 3rd.

    Sincerely,

     

    SoggyHog, "insert name here"

     

     

    P.S. Please don't screw-up this draft!

  3. Just wondering when the teams can sign their draft picks. Can they have them in for rookie camp/meetings? Any OTA's? When can they sign Undrafted Free Agents? Does there have to be a new CBA before anything can be done? Sorry if this has already been posted.

  4. Ralph will probably live another 25 years. The guy still plays tennis.

    So STFU about the unknowable already.

    Anybody on this board could take a dirt nap tomorrow.

    Grow the F up..............

     

     

    Wow. Slow down Sista. Just asked a question. No reason to get your panties caught in your crack.

  5. Access to medical care, even top-notch, can only do so much.

    At that age, when things start going downhill, they go downhill fast.

     

     

    Exactly what I am seeing! I mean, 92! I can't imagine anyone at that age making sound decisions. Maybe some can, but no one I've met.

  6. Does anyone know the condition Ralph is in lately? I take-care of my 92 year old Grandfather (WWII vet) and I have seen his health rapidly deteriorate in the last few months. I cannot imagine that Ralph is in any position to make a sound decision concerning his business if he is "close" to the shape of my Granddad. Just wondering if anyone has any updates.

  7. You ever think maybe he wanted to "throw" the year to get cut and go to a team that has a chance to win on? I mean, since he's been here, he's had 4 Head Coaches (Mularkey, Jauron, Fewell, Gailey), 5 QB's (Bledsoe, Losman, Holcomb, Edwards, Fitz), 4 GM's (Dohahoe, Levy, Brandon, Nix), at least 4 OC's (one of which was on the team the year before he got drafted), a team that averages 6 years a win, an owner that publicly stated he wants ANOTHER QB, a stadium that is outdated and rundown, the weather sucks, small market, a city where more and more people leave each year, having T.O. whisper in your ear for a year and the taxes suck. ALL IN 7 YEARS! Why would you not "throw" a season to go somewhere else? Honestly, would you rather work for Disney World or Darien Lake? I mean....c'mon.

     

    GO BILLS!

  8. This is a special draft, definitley not the right draft to trade away picks to get more picks for NEXT years draft. There are more juniors declaring for this draft than ever before because of the CBA situation. To trade away picks, and receive picks for next years draft would really be foolish.

     

    This is a VERY strong draft, and for that reason I wouldn't mind if they traded down in return for more pick in THIS years draft. The Bills need to get a game changing talent from this draft. How they do it, I don't care. But DO it.

     

     

    Well, that's what I have. They move back 9 spots and pick-up 2 picks THIS year and maybe one next year. IMO, no team is giving a 2nd, 3rd and 4th pick this year to move up 9 spots. That's why, typically, teams give a pick in the next years draft as well.

  9. J.J. Watt (6'5"-290)is a prime candidate to play the five-technique position in the 3-4 base defense. Relentless rushing the passer yet active against the run, he flashes quickness off the snap and willingness to pop and knock back blockers. He has the strength to shed blocks and bull through double teams. A high-effort tackler with long arms combined with excellent character and work ethic, he's a perfect fit for a team that loves "Lunch-pail" blue-collar types. After a STRONG combine, he has secured himself in the middle of the first round, however not worthy of a number 3 pick, there is a way to draft him in the first round and secure more picks in this years draft. Here is a scenario:

     

    Bills/Vikings trade:

    Vikings receive #3(Cam Newton?)

    Bills receive #12-#43-#105 and a 2nd/3rd in 2012

     

    #12 - J.J Watt, DE34, Wisconsin (start from day 1, play for 10 years)

    #34 - Brooks Reed, OLB34, Arizona (powerful bull rush and a quality speed rush, nice one-two punch in rounds 1 and 2!)

    #43 - Marcus Cannon, ROT, TCU (ready to step-in to the weakest position on the team)

    #68 - Ben Ijalana, OG, Villanova (Wood slides to Center, nice interior line-up)

    #99 - Mark Herzlich, SILB, Boston College (Cancer survivor falls to this pick. See character/work ethic for Watt 2.0)

    #105 - Orlando Franklin, LOT, Miami(FL) (Competition for undersized Bell)

    #121 - DeJon Gomes, SS, Nebraska (bye bye Whitner, hello Gomes)

    #130 - Julius Thomas, TE, Portland St. (nice hands, big target, needs work on blocking)

    #164 - Chris Rucker, CB, Michigan St. (bpa, need)

    #195 - Anthony Gray, DT34, Southern Miss (bpa, need depth)

     

    Does not address the QB situation (franchise/depth), however other than Ponder or Mallet, I don't see a QB worthy of a pick, IMO.

     

    Thoughts.......

  10. I like getting the trade, but not to take Ponder at #38 - I think he'll be there for us at #68.

     

    (The other thing to consider is Nix and Gailey might want Gabbert themselves at #3.)

     

     

    Who would you take at 38? Lot's of people aren't sold on Ponder either. Injuries are keeping some from him.

  11. I LOVE Fairley-Ayers 1-2! I like Ponder in the 3rd, however, I don't think he will last. I just started a thread on a possible trade with AZ to get Ponder with the 38th. pick. Chekwa in round 4 is a MUST if he is there. Love the work you do on Draft Tek! :thumbsup:

  12. Would you be up for this scenario:

     

    Bills/Arizona trade

     

    Arizona gets 3rd overall, Bills get 5th and 38th. (value 2200 vs. 2220)

     

     

    #3 AZ- Newton/Gabbert

    #5 BUF - Von Miller OLB Texas A&M (perfect olb for hybrid D)

    #34 BUF - Akeem Ayers ILB UCLA (great speed rush ilb)

    #38 Buf- Christian Ponder QB Florida St. (all the qualities of a franchise qb, history of throwing shoulder injuries)

     

    Might be a reach for Ponder with 38th pick, but I don't think he will last until the 3rd. Great 1-2 punch on Defense and Ponder can sit a year or two behind Fitz and learn.

  13. And you don't think that winning super bowls had something to do with them being named to the Hall of Fame???

     

    Aikman, for example, though he was a #1 overall pick - didn't have such great numbers during the regular season. Without the SB wins, there is no way he makes the HoF. His career stats: http://www.nfl.com/players/profile?id=AIK553722 are nothing special - Boomer Esiason, for example had better, and you don't even hear his name come up for the Hall. Aikman was never the NFL MVP.

     

    Elway is one of the most bogus examples. The Broncos were humiliated in the Super Bowl when Elway was the key to their offense. Later, when he was long past his prime and his job was to hand the ball to Terrell Davis - the 1998 regular season MVP - they won the Super Bowl over Brett Favre.

     

    Terry Bradshaw's career stats would get him cut even from the Bills today. 212/210 TD/INT; <28000yds, QB rating of 70.9!! He did win four Super Bowls "leading" one of the best teams ever. Does that make him why the Steelers won??

     

    In fact, it's almost impossible for a QB to make the Hall of Fame w/o a ring.

     

    Your consideration of the regular season team ranks has merit.

     

    Claiming indivdual QB's being "Hall of Famers" as the reason the team got to/won Super Bowls is a circular argument with no merit.

     

    Actually, I never stated that "as the reason" those teams got to/won. I simply made a comparison of those teams having HoFers or Franchise QB's on their teams. I'm sure Hall of Fame QB's have lost the Super Bowl. Even in the last 21 years (Kelly). I'm not for nor against Franchise QB's or elite defenses, I just wanted to look at the statement "Defenses win Championships" logically and break down some numbers. I do, however, think it's compelling for teams to have a Franchise QB. I think the statement should be...... "Defenses win games, Franchise QB's win Championships!"

  14. We already have a potential elite QB on our team. Fitz had a great year considering his circumstances. Fitz played with horrible wide receivers. Do we even have a number one on this team? Do we even have a TE. We do however, have a bunch of undrafted rookies on our team. Name one successful QB that has no talent around him and puts up numbers like FItz. I cant think of any.

     

     

    Jay Cutler

    Sam Bradford

    Alex Smith

    Shaun Hill

    Jason Campbell

     

    All similar numbers to Fitz and talent around him. None are Franchise QB's. Cutler should be, Bradford could be, Smith.......no way! I am a Fitz fan, but I'm afraid Ralph isn't. Is Fitz an 'elite" QB? Not now. Could he be? Hopefully but probably not. Could he lead the Bills to a Super Bowl? Sure, he has a 19% chance to do it if they stock the defense. However, get a "Franchise QB" like Ralph wants, and the chances increase dramatically! (per my OP)
