Yeah, they'll probably take Moreno over Pettigrew, so what the TG trade means is, do not pick Pettigrew at #11. You can get him at #28 if you really want him. Meanwhile, guys like Oher or Ayers will no be there at 28.

Has anyone considered that maybe Brandon knows his game and that Bell is the nest JP? If he is, then STHFU.

I voted "Other". I figure it will be Ayers, but of course I have no real idea. This is fun, four days to the draft and NO-ONE knows what they will do, inclding them. Over 20 % who have voted picked "Other". It is the kind of year when last minute twists will determine the pick, not mater what they say afterwards ("We got our guy"). Other than Aaron Curry (whom I would pick, but won't be there), I don't really care who they pick because nobody knows which one will work out best.

I like this, though seems unlikely Smith wuld drop to 11 or Ayers to 28. On other hand, Oher should be there at 11 and Connor Barwin at 28. I'd like that combo too. Then a tight end in the 2nd.

Yep. Ev Brown seems too small to be a DE, more of 3-4 OLB to me. Glad there is one player emerging as our logical choice at 11. He should also be there for the Bill;s to take, nlike, say, Curry, who would be great but long gone.

Tim, Ayers or Brown for our DE solution?

Yeah, I like what these real football guys said about these two players. I don't think we'll get both, but Ayers at #11 seems the best choice.

Can't cover, tackle, run, make decisions....a bust.

6' 1 1/2" is too short to be a DE in the NFl. Any other ideas?

Hi Tim, Kinda looks like Ev Brown at #11. I am concerned about his height (6' 1 1/2"). No way he can play DE in the NFL, is there? If he comes to Buffalo, would it be to replace Keith Ellison at OLB?

Also scary that Howard Simon (and others) would have given up trent Edwards, two first round picks and a third for this whiner.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writ...x.html?bcnn=yes For a lack of other choices, I can see this. Fewell wants a situation rusher.

Good draft, but I doubt if Tampa would move up to us when no-one below us would take a QB until the Jets at 17, which means they could make the deal wth San Diego at 16 and give up less in return. Since I this the scenario as unlikely, who do you think they'll pick at 11? I suspect Maybin as third-down left DE. Another question: you don't have Barwin in the first round, but I think his combine might tempt a lot of teams, including the Bills, and if the Tampa trade worked out, that might be the pick instead of a DT.

This guy looks good at DE, but you're right. It would be 'reaching" to take him at 11, but we may be wise to do it. He'll be a great OLB or DE for somebody behind us if we pass.

right. He will be even more of a liability at FS, because the dude is S..L..O..W.

This was before the combine; he'll change things now. Frequently. If Pettigrew is the 11th overall pick, it isn't saying much about the guys behind him.

Anyone know much about Nelson. he looks impressive. We need a TE who is a receiving threat, not a blocking stud. Pettigrew doesn't look like a #11 pick to me. Not saying any of them do, but I'd be interested in Nelson later. Gronkowski also looks interesting.

He isn't worth it, eh? Like we have a lot of better players. Here's what a real team does to keep valuable players around: Please read it PITTSBURGH (AP)—Offensive tackle Max Starks was designated as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ franchise player on Thursday, the second successive year they have retained the two-time Super Bowl starter by placing a tag on him. Starks made $6.9 million last year as a transition player, although he didn’t begin the season as a starter. He ended up starting 11 games at left tackle after Marvel Smith was injured. “We were happy we had Max Starks available to us when he was needed,” Steelers director of football operations Kevin Colbert said. “We were fortunate that he was still here because he gave us an experienced guy who had played as a starter in the playoffs and in the Super Bowl.” Starks was the Steelers’ right tackle when they won the Super Bowl during the 2005 season. By being designated as a franchise player, Starks will make $15.35 million over the 2008 and 2009 seasons, unless he agrees to a long-term deal— considerable money for Pittsburgh to pay a player who didn’t make their lineup at the start of last season. Starks must make $8.451 million in 2009, the average of the NFL’s top five offensive linemen last season. Another team could sign Starks because he is designated as non-exclusive, but that team would owe the Steelers a pair of first-round draft picks.

Jauron is one sad suckass.

so what is stopping us from keeping Greer around? He's a good corner, maybe not worth a top ten price, but what the hell, for a year, give him some money and see how things work out. Maybe McKelvin will be great, maybe McGee will go downhll. Who knows? Every other team except Miami seems to be tagging somebody. Doesn't that make you think it might be a plan? I like Jabari Greer and we have the cap room. Plus, there is nobody else worth franchising on this sad sack of a team. Would it make too much sense for our braintrust to get off their asses?

Think I'd prefer Toomer between the two old guys. Toomer is 6'3

Mayock doesn't even include him in his top 5.

Mike watched him play. So did I, so I'm not surprised. He is an easily-handle tweener.

Ok, I've read all the respones to my post (some of them very ignorant), but the bottom line seems to be, "don't bring in a capable"back-up, because itm ight cost us something and ratle Trent's chain". I say, piss on that. What do you propose if the Bills actually are in the playoff run and Edwards gets hurt, throw a Charley Batch out there?
