KOKBILLS

No offense...But you're over-analyzing Jeffery...I'm sure some NFL GM's will do the same so he can fall right into The Bills lap...He's a player and a freak physically...He'll break plenty of tackles, but more importantly he'll catch tough passes and he's born open because of his size and wing-span...Don't over-think it...He's really good...And better than anything the Bills have currently...He's solid off the field as well...He's a hell of a good prospect...Period... And forget about Blackmon...The Bills pick 10th and he'll be long gone by then...

Well... I lived in Charlotte the past 20 years, and I too saw a ton of Jeffery at USC...DB's are fast too...But Jeffery has plenty of speed...He's been clocked at sub 4.5, but most Scouts think he's a 4.5 - 4.6 guy...Dez Bryant ran 4.55-4.65 in his Private Workout...So Jeffery figures to have enough speed to be just fine in the NFL...Plus he has tremendous size and hands...And for the record two different times in that 1st Half vs. Nebraska he had more than a step on a potential 1st Round CB who is supposed to have mid 4.4 speed... So anyway...Jeffery is fast enough...

Gailey pretty much said the Defense was 100% one voice the past two years...And that voice was Edwards...Chan has already been quite honest that he is not hands on with the Defense...In fact I was a bit surprised an NFL HC would admit he was that removed from one side of the ball the way Gailey did...So...If you believe Chan...It was Edwards...

Agreed...I don't think Batten or Moats is big enough or strong enough at the point of attack to play DE in a 4-3...And I don't think Carrington can hold up as a DT in a 4-3 either...Maybe on sure Passing Downs...But that's about it...He would have to slide out to DE...Which may not be a bad thing...

I really like Blackmon and Jeffery...I like Jeffery a bit more for The Bills...But not much more...I'm a bit baffled by some of what you wrote...Jeffrey runs every route in the book and he runs them all well...Short, long, intermediate, over the middle...He can do it all...The reason I like Jeffrey more for the Bills is simple...His size and hands...He has the ability to get himself open with just his body...And The Bills have a QB who can be inaccurate at times...Jeffery will come down with a bunch of those passes...I think Blackmon has more top end speed...But what does that really matter when you have a QB that is going to underthrow him most of the time anyway...Jeffery will adjust to those errant throws better IMHO...But I would take either Blackmon or Jeffery in a half-a-heartbeat in Buffalo...

Totally 100% agree...

Just my opinion...Luck goes 1st to Indy and that's that...I think the chances of Indy trading the Pick or not Drafting Luck are 0.00...

Honestly if that happens I think it's a no-brainer...The Bills simply can't pass on a Kid like Jeffery...I like him better than Blackmon...And I like Blackmon a lot...A REAL lot...

Ummm...No...Not at all...That's why I used the

Irsay is nuts...It's a fact, and there is plenty of evidence out there to back it up...

I'm guessing the 4-3 is going to be back in Buffalo...Assuming KW is back at 100% health...I just think the 4-3 matches our personnel right now MUCH better as far as the front 7 is concerned (yes I know we'll still need OLB's)...Dareus should be an absolute beast as a 4-3 DT....

Finally!!!

How quickly Folks forgot the trouble Holmes got into in Pittsburgh...Which was the reason The Jets were able to get him for next-to-nothing in the 1st place...

Wow! That's all I can say... Wow! Oh and...Get er done Ralph...

I think scapegoat is too strong a word concerning Edwards...The Defensive Coaching was absolutely terrible these past 2 Seasons and no one in the NFL deserves to be fired more than Edwards...No one...It's not scapegoating...It's a smart football move...

I'm dead serious about this... The Season is over...it's Black Monday...Why the heck does George Edwards still have a job? I know The Bills don't do anything quickly...But seriously...He should have been gone already...Period...End of story...

He also finished 18th in the new QBR Rankings...Just behind Matt Moore and one spot ahead of Kyle Orton...

I understand what you're getting at, but there is an ocean-span of difference between Fitz and the top tier of NFL QB's...And injuries or not, give me Rodgers, Brady, a healthy Manning, or Brees...and I'll take my chances any day...

You pretty much hit the nail on the head regarding my concerns about Upshaw...I really don't question his ability to play in the NFL...But I'm not certain he has the explosion necessary to be a great NFL Pass Rusher...Heck it can be argued he's not a great College Pass Rusher...He's an effort guy no doubt...But some Scouts say he's going to measure under 6-2 at the Combine and run in the 4.7 Range...To me Upshaw is the type of Prospect you're going to love if you get him at the bottom part of the 1st or early in the 2nd...He'll be a piece of a decent Defense, but not necessarily a star...Kind of like Robert Ayers who I loved coming out of College...But I wonder if Upshaw is truly worthy of #10 overall...I just worry he'll never be a 10-plus Sack guy in the NFL, and he's going to struggle a bit with OLB assignments if he truly is a 4-7-4-8 speed guy... Then I look at a few of the other Prospect that may be around at #10 and I drool...I've had the pleasure of seeing a ton of Alshon Jeffery while living in Charlotte the past 20 years...And that Kid is a special talent...You put him on the other side of Stevie Johnson (ya I know...assuming...) and now NFL Defenses have HUGE problems coming up with ways to stop the Bills...There may be one or two Top LT Prospects available at #10 overall...I just wonder if passing on a top Prospect at another Position in order to Draft a Kid like Upshaw or Coples is going to backfire on the Bills big-time in the end...And unfortunately I've given up on Nix Trading up or down... Too true... And yes I know it's course...I was typing fast and did not check because I was late to work reading this damn board as usual...

Get me LaMarr Woodley at #10 this year Bro and I'm 100% on board... Of course I'm a Michigan Fan so I'm not sure if my vote counts on that one... I hear you and I agree...I would LOVE to see The Bills grab the Defensive help they desperately need in the Pass Rush area...I guess what I'm wondering is if in fact you can get a Woodley type in the 2nd Round this coming Draft that will be every bit as good as the Upshaw or Coples that can only be had at #10 Overall...Though Upshaw is growing on me a bit...We'll see soon enough My Friend...

Of course it's my opinion...It's a message board...Are you new? Go back to sleep...

Don't get me wrong...I know The Bills need Pass Rush in the worst way...I'm REALLY uncertain if any Prospect from this coming Draft, especially at #10 overall, is going to be the answer to those woes...We'll see...The last time this Organization went out looking for Pass Rush help they Drafted Maybin...And despite the fact that it turns out Maybin can rush the passer a bit, it was a disaster for The Bills...What I see from this group of College Pass Rushers is a few guys with good ability who disappear WAY too often...There are good Prospects, but they are Prospects, and I don't see one worthy of the #10 Overall Pick...There will be no Marcell Dareus at #10 overall in the 2012 Draft...So IF The Bills decide this is going to be the Draft to fully address the Pass Rush, first off, I think Bills Fans will be disappointed with the results (again)...And secondly they better Trade Down (and we all know that is not happening)...In contrast if a Kid like Jeffery is there at #10 Overall I think your getting incredible value...And I also think there will be at least one REALLY good OT available at #10 as well...I'm going to go ahead and say it now, I don't think this is the year to be looking for high 1st Round Pass Rushers...Teams reach every year looking for magic in that department...The great ones are few and far between... All I'm saying is this...IMHO this Team is WAY closer to 5-10 than they are 10-5...And that means they have holes all over the field...And yes Defense and Pass Rush is a huge need, but if a player is available at another position of need that GREATLY upgrades that position...A player that will be a perennial Pro-Bowler well...They have to take him...WR, CB, DE, OLB, QB, O-Line...It does not matter...They just have to get the best guy and move forward...

Why just a WR? Look...If they blow the Pick, if they don't make good UFA moves, if the young players don't get better, if Fitz continues to be bad Fitz...If any or all of these things happen they could very well be right back picking in the Top 10 again... If they pick Alshon Jeffery at #10 overall and he turns out to be the next great thing at WR that is a HUGE upgrade and a piece of the puzzle...They got a stud in the 1st Round last year and they need another stud...They need to continue to get difference making players...They desperately need to get better Coaching on Defense or they are simply not going to be able to take the next step regardless... I don't really care much about what position the Bills Draft in 2012...They just need to Draft a stud and make a slew of other good moves to improve this Team...If they take a WR it better be a good one...I'm sure there were plenty of Detroit Lions Fans who felt they did not need to take another Top 10 WR when they Drafted Megatron...It's all relative...

Mystery Tour...

Astro, I'm interested as to why Alshon Jeffery has dropped so far on the Drafttek Big Board? Is that a misprint or something? 49th? I mean...The Kid is still a monster...SC just does not have a QB...I don't see how Jeffery drops below 15th overall...And if he does somebody is going to get an absolute steal...He's my favorite player for The Bills right now...Assuming he runs in the 4.5 Range...I would take him ahead of Blackmon....And yes I really mean that...I think AJ is the PERFECT complement to Stevie... I know The Bills need Defense...But a Kid like Jeffery is a once in 5 years talent IMHO...I REALLY hope he's a Buffalo Bill come April...
