I'd rather that a top player maker at #11 (WR, CB, S) than a need. Because none of these DEs get me excited. They all seems like tweeners that will take way too long to developer, if at all, in the pros.
If Crabtree or Maclin make it to #11 take him. Or take Jenkins to play at S.
The one need position I would take, however, is OT Smith if he falls. I think he will be the true OT stud out of this draft.
Does Ayers, Maybin, Orakpo (has Texas bust written all over him), or Everett do anything for anyone? Or are we high on them because we need a DE and people say these guys are the best?
-
If you think the Raiders will take him in the top 10 why are you asking the question?
You think he drops out of the top 20? No way!
-
I said this in a post yesterday, and Id love him at safety.
As long as we could get Mack in Rd 2, Id do it. But make Laurinitis the 28th pick and Coffman our 3rd rounder.

I think that debate falls more to one side or the other depending on the team and franchise.
The Patriots are in a position to choose the best player available, let him sit and groom behind people, and eventually have a future star. The Bills, however, are in no position to do so. Because we aren't as good, and don't have the amount of talent as the winners do, we need to draft BPA at positions of need. We can't afford to draft a RB with our 1st rounder this year.
With coaches having the 3 year contract and then out if they aren't in the playoffs (besides Jauron) I don't believe a lot of teams have the luxury of just drafting the highest rated player on their board no matter the position. If you are a longer tenured coach with a team and franchise, you have that luxury. Most do not.
I think this is a very good point.
-
I know this is an age-old debate around here, but what should the Bills do when the #11 pick comes up (assuming no trades)?
Do the Bills take the top player left on their board OR do they take the top need player (assuming the 2 players are different)?
For example, let's say Maybin or Okapo are available at 11, but the Bills' top ranked player is still available. Who should they pick? And does it depend on the position? If the Bills have Malcolm Jenkins as their 4th or 5th ranked player, overall, and he is available at #11, do they take him? Or do they take a so-called "need" player (DE, OLB, OT)?
Thoughts?
I have always been with the opinion of don't reach to fill a position your fans or the media thinks you may need. Take the best player on your board. A good example of this is drafting Trent Edwards in the 3rd.

I still think we may go after Malcolm Jenkins to play Safety with DW.
-
60% of the time, it works everytime.
-
Everyone... please welcome our new Free Safety at pick #11.....Ohio State's Malcolm Jenkins..
(I can hear the rope being strung up now)
-
Thanks for the disclaimer.
So your source is the dad of someone who works with the Bills, who told a friend of your friend something?
Sounds accurate to me!
-
Regardless of the draft class, I think the weekend as a whole is an exciting time. Especially with the prospect of new players, trades, everything.
But unlike a lot of people on here, I am still try to look to the bright side.
-
So can we please put the 500 Peters threads into 1 or 2 threads and move on?
I don't know about a lot of you, but this is my favorite NFL off-season event. I love it.
Go Bills!

This is the definition of irony.

Excellent response
The thing is that we didn't even spend a pick on the guy and got a 1st, 4th, and conditional in return. Him gone is better than him here being a distraction in the locker room and a disruption to the team's chemistry whenever he decided to finally show up, then give up on average more sacks than any other starting LT per game .I think the distraction issue and him not wanting to be here is something a lot of commentators (here and nationally) are missing.
-
Excited? What's wrong with you? Didn't you get the memo? You can't post on this board if you have anything positive to say about the Bills.
-
How many do we have?
Awesome response!
-
"Lets face it"?
Did you not know beforehand that we were a small market team?
I do. But a number of poster's here surely don't.
-
Yeah, but not proportioned to what we would have to pay Peters. Mornieau and Mauer both took Minnesota discounts. Peters at $12 mil/year is akin to a Teixiera contract.
-
People, this trade was out of necessity. We couldn't afford to pay Peters $12 mil/year, unless you want the team to play in LA. We have to model the franchise after the As or the Twins, we can't be the Yankees. This is a dollars/cents issue.
Therefore, we should be happy we got what we got for Peters. Plus, Peters with a new fat contract may not be what he was in '06. Although maybe he great, nobody knows.
But we came out of it with a couple more draft picks this year and cap room. So maybe we extend Jackson, pick up a verteran backup OLB, and draft a couple first round studs.

You mean blowed up.
-Emmitt Smith
-
Read the post - he meant the 2 of them combined.
-
That'd be funny if his name was William and not Robert.
No sh--. That's what made the joke funny.
-
And you for High School English/Grammar teacher.
-
I'm not sure if he's a joke or not. I saw his reply to the president's speech and couldn't stop laughing for hours. I guess he actually IS the governor of Louisiana, though.
I did too. I kept picturing Kenneth from 30 Rock (and the similar character that guy played in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall)
-
How would you have preferred they phrase it? It isn't that funny, it's the man's name.
What is up your ass today, Sage?
This is hysterical.

I can't trust someone that can't understand the grammatical difference between "there," "their," and "they're."
