Nix has stated on more than one occasion that the Bills will be drafting for the 3-4. After last year's poor production though, there have been a lot of different things that they tried to do. They know they have a guy that they can build around in Kyle Williams, but we all know he is not a prototypical NT for a 3-4. I have a feeling that our draft guys realize this too and are not going to try and make our current players be something they are not. They want to put them in a position to make more plays and not get "ball and chain" married to a scheme. The hybrid talk by Gailey indicates that they want to build off our current strengths by putting our play makers in a position to succeed. That being said, they will draft the guy they think will have the greatest impact regardless of whether they are projected as a 3-4 or 4-3 player. I really think that they want someone next to Kyle "The Wrecking Ball" Williams to put some real pressure on offensive lines. To me this sounds like it would be a 3-4DE/4-3DT. Someone that can do both. This way it will be a top draft pick that will play next to our current probowler and have a chance to really dominate. As for Von Miller, I really like him. I just don't know if the Bill's will be willing to take him at #3 and try to find someone to go next to Kyle later. They said they want at least 2 more DEs and it seems to me that they will want one in round one.

Defense Offense They did not bring in Wannstedt so they can set him up to fail. The defense will be the focus and likely the Bill's first pick. Anyone thinking a QB will be taken with their first pick so he can sit on the bench, needs to go seek out professional help.

I think the OP believes the owners will no longer have the authority to do so with no CBA in place.

I don't know about all that. He didn't look too smart a couple of years ago.

Going to be interesting to see what changes will be made. I hope there is a rookie cap. This will free up more money so veterans who perform well can be retained instead of the revolving door crap that is the NFL now.

His tweets are kinda out there. Don't know how to take him sometimes. Maybe I'm just getting too old for these games.

Trade down. We get Palmer and a second? Is that even possible?

Um, I can't think back that far. This is a job for Captiain Hindsight

I don't like either of them. Um, who is Fitzgerald?

The big number of elite DL prospects means we have an opportunity to load up on dominant defensive talent. Taking a flyer on a QB who wouldn't even start would be just plain dumb. If a QB was considered so good that he could come right in and be better than Fitz I'd say pull the trigger. Expecting any of the QBs in this draft to do that is a pipe dream. None of them impress me that much.

Deep Dline Talent + Position Scarcity = DL Round 1, DL Round 2. Simpler. Better chance of success. Also, there are no elite QBs in this draft.

I'm pretty certain we will not be drafting a QB with the #3 pick. The defense is by far the weakest side of the ball and that will be the focus. We may pickup Keapernick(did I spell that right?).

Man, you are way over thinking this. His opinion on Newton alone tells me he isn't even smart enough to think that far into the future with such a ploy.

Wow. No wonder Wannstedt left Pittsburgh.

This means a quick resolution can be expected.

Fairley is definitely a very dominating force. He doesn't like to stop until the whistle blows which is good and bad. There were a lot of QB hits after the ball is gone in that video. I really like his passion for the game and would be happy to see him in a Bill's uniform. I'd be a little worried about his over zealousness though. I could just imagine Brady getting up and pointing at him repeatedly in a game, throwing up his hands and begging for a flag. Kind of an amusing vision in my head.

Many seem certain that he won't be, but I think you could be right here.

I think the reason Wilson was not tendered means he will be resigned shortly.

He isn't going to be a DE, but a LB.

He only understands stuff that's past tense.

Troupe and Williams. 1+1=2 nose guards. They'll be looking at big ol' DEs though.

Must be the combine news slowed 'em down. Give it time.

Quinn is possibility. Wannstedt's comments about living or dieing on the strength of the defensive front are interesting. I would not be surprised if we draft defense early and often. Now that would be refreshing.

Good stuff. Quinn looks intriguing.

Yea, if he is there at #34. Two big DEs would really make all of our LBs look better. I'd still like to get an ILB somewhere.
