Cru Jones Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I hear ya!

If they have a jaw drop emotion i would have just used that, but since they dont i had to explain it. Kids good, But i really do think we need help other places more than running back. If we could pull of a deal to get another 1st rounder or if he falls to early second i say jump on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why RBs make the biggest impact is because the position is the easiest transition from the college to the pro game. Why even consider a RB? Seems like off-season releases of RBs are plentiful, so we could get a backup for Jackson from that group and trade or release Lynch. Last I checked, Fred Jackson's pretty good. Our most pressing needs are OT, LB, DT, DE. Of course, didn't we fill the DE need last year? I'll fill in the 2010 ROY on defense: Rolando McClain Hopefully: Rolando McClain Buffalo Bills Linebacker Alabama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago_Mike Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 You build winners by solidifying your interior lines on both sides of the ball. That's where our top draft picks should go because that's where game are won. Look at: NO, Indy, Dallas, Arizona, Chargers, Jets, Baltimore, etc. Those teams have either one or both sides of the line excelling, especially Dallas.

metzelaars_lives Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Why do all these highlight videos have to have the absolute worst rap music of all-time accompanying them?

inkman Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Offense: RB (QB and WR a distant 2nd)Defense: LB (DE 2nd) Not trying to sound snarky, but don't RB's & LB's win these awards because they put up big stats. Everyone looks at yards, TD's, sacks and tackles. What about the guys blocking and/or taking on blocks to allow those players to make those plays. You build winners by solidifying your interior lines on both sides of the ball. This. I want the Bills to draft big, mean, nasty football players.

WOW. I think Bills have far too many other bigger needs at the moment, but that kid can move. I expect to see at least 2 or 3 electric punt returns from him next year for whoever picks him up. Like a smaller and faster Reggie Bush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said do you think that Dallas, NO, AZ, NY,Baltimore, and lets throw in Cinci, NE,Pitt and buffalo would rather have... Felix Jones Sedric ellis Rogers-cromartie Vernon Gholston Joe Flacco Keith rivers Jarod Mayo Mendenhall McKelvin..........Over Chris Johnson?????? these are pretty good picks but if they could (maybe with the exception of Baltimore because they eventually got Rice in that draft) they would change thier pick knowing what they do now. One more, what would AZ look like if they had drafted Adrian Peterson instead of Levi Jones? Speed and talent like that cant be passed up, or it ends up passing your DBs on his way to six.

I want the Bills to draft big, mean, nasty football players. I agree with you. Just pointing out something i thought was interesting but i think we all know RB's and LB's make the easiest transition. I absolutely do not want a RB in the 1st round. I could live with a stud LB knowing he could start. I also want to see the trenches improved on both sides of the ball. Too many needs...and the draft won't be able to deliver them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed and talent like that cant be passed up, or it ends up passing your DBs on his way to six. look where they are now, and where the titans are. i think they're happy w/ their decisions of building playoff caliber teams. what does 2000 yds. rushing mean when you lose your first 7 games and not make the playoffs? Nothing. all of those teams filled voids they thought they needed. but, do you really think baltimore regrest drafting flacco? or dallas w/ jones?-- chris johnson would be getting just as much playing time w/ barber in the mix. of course, you create could-of would-of scenarios, but there are many more LB and RB busts in the 1st round than there are Chris Johnsons stories.
