I like the pick alot. The Bills line needs good players. Wood will be the starting center & Levitre will play guard. Two young guyd playimg their natural position- not trying to make a someone play a postion they are not comfortable with.
Or a center playing guard and a guard playing tackle.
-
I wonder what DJ thinks of it? Sounds like a player to develop instead of playing right away. Not as bad as the McGahee pick/Gregg Williams, but a couple steps that way?
-
You think the Chargers would have passed on Maybin and taken English? I'm not making it to 12 slots ...
Do you think Maybin can play OLB for us, or will he strictly be a DE?
-
Um....what?
I guess if we had gotten #21 for Peters.
-
Can he play olb?
-
I'd love to see Buffalo get a high 2010 pick for him at the trading deadline this fall, but not now.
-
Trying to get Buffalo to jump Jax to get an OT, if the report is true.
-
None. Considering the amount of time 32 teams spend looking at these guys, I don't pretend to know on draft day that "this guy is better than that one". My explosions come when they actually hit on players but don't keep them.
-
My big question is will Pettigrew fill the Bills' need? In that if he's not the fully complete blocking/receiving TE who can stretch the field, is it worth it investing No. 11 at that spot? Would he be a vast improvement over Royal, who was a very good blocker, but useless in the flat? Or asked another way, do we want to use up No. 11 to get the next Daniel Graham?
But, but we need a TE -> he's the best one available, therefore we need him. Stop asking all those questions!
No TE on the first day until we make the playoffs.
-
Guess we don't need a TE, huh? Huh??
After we make the playoffs, we have to many other holes. Do you notice that the 20-25 range is a nice place to pick up a quality TE?
-
I think the plan is to dismantle the plan we had and start another plan. I'm sure there's been a lot of meetings to plan the new plan, and I'm sure after we pull four starters out of this years draft the plan will be planned.
-
i get what you were saying...
just trying to further explain my point why i don't see the logic to announce we are going to trade up to get Oher in this particular scenario
At this point before the draft, I don't think anything can be believed.
I'm with you regarding trading up for Oher, but since I haven't seen much logic I agree with this offseason, I'm cringing at this point.
-
if there is a ridiculous run on tackles with 4 of the top 10 picks (you can also assume 1 possibly 2 qbs in those same 10 picks) that means some serious defensive talent has "slipped" and will be available for us to select or bargain off to a suitor in a trade down scenario as Dean alluded to previously
Just playing off your sig dude, that's all.
-
i don't see the logic behind this move...
oh wait,

I live in SWFL surrounded by fin fans & I have been getting hard rubbed for a bit.
Well that's great. I've been in Pittsburgh almost 30 years and a fan close to 40. While I did enjoy the 92? playoff game where Reich came in and beat them, the victories have been few and far between. And I've had to put up with the rest of the winning that has gone here on while lately my team is lucky to stay in the game with a good team.
Quite frankly, I'm tired of OBD not caring about winning.
-
Fairweather fans....
Not really, or are some "inside sources" clueing you in to what type of fan I am?
It's funny, because here in Pittsburgh, I've been hearing the same thing about the Pirates for the last 12 years or so. Always waiting for that perfect alignment of young, super talented players that you don't have to pay a lot of money to. They haven't seen .500 for 16 years.
-
Our clubhouse is going to be a wonderful place to be this year.
A lame duck coach, TO, anyone on the trading block....top 5 pick in 2010 here we come.
-
Go Bills!
Funny and disheartening all at the same time. Nice
-
unfortunately it is looking like a skid mark.
There's a 90 year old skid mark on this team....
-
What you and others fail to understand is that Peters had no blocking assignment on that particular play. He did his job, which was to just stand there like a fat stupid load and watch Elam beeze by, unmolested, right to the QB.
Yes, yes you are so right! I can't believe that the Eagles would consider him valuable enough to trade for, and then to pay. In fact, I don't understand why we let Dockery go since he did such a fine job on that play! You'd of thought we would have just cut JP and kept Dock.
-
Bottom line: Peters wanted out. He just had enough of the team, the town, the lot. No matter what we would pay him he was going to go. He hurt the team by doing a no-show last year. We didn;t get the value I would of liked out of him - but frankly, his attitude was horrible and I think we should feel OK about seeing him go. Not sure he will set the world on fire in Philly.
Attitudes turn ALL the time when a player feels he is fairly compensated - look at Lance Briggs last year. The "I'm pissed" stuff is part of the dance, that's all. Seems to me that Ralph was done handing out big contracts this year and told Brandon to get what he could for JP.
-
Walker does not have the footwork to play LT. He will get beaten by speed rushers. So, we now need to keep a back in to help on the left side, one less outlet for Trent.
ummmm, I guess I forgot something:
/sarcasm!
-
My only concern is that the #21st pick would have gotten Pettigrew. No way he falls to us now. With so many draft picks and so many holes to fill at least we can actually draft the best player available. We have options now:
11: DL (Orapko, Raji, Brown)
28: OT (Britton, Oher (if he falls))
42: TE (Nelson, Cook, Coffman)
or:
11: OT (Oher, Britton (too early though)
28: TE (Pettigrew, Ingram, Nelson)
42: DE (Sidbury, Barwin, Johnson)
Maybe we can trade our 3rd and Philly's third back to them in order to jump to 21? How does that work on the ol' draft value chart?
-
So now do we keep the 11th overall due to a huge need for an OT? If Oher's still there, we have to take him, but if not, listen to offers for teams to trade up for our 11th? Thoughts anyone?
What huge need? We have Walker, he'll step right in! Chambers to RT McKinney at LG. I'm looking for a 4th round interior OL, that will be fine. Let's go get a WR and TE in the first so Trent will have plenty of weapons. Actually, I think Moreno and Pettigrew will be the best draft! That way we can trade Freddie too! And then in the second we can take a DB that has "great value"!

I think he's saying it's a positive Maybin didn't test positive.
