daveydanceswithwolves Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 The community is so divided on what the bills should do in the first round that i actually feel bad for nix. No matter what his decision ends up being, whether he chooses a LT,QB or a defensive player, half of the people are going to hate him for it. he's got a tough draft coming up.

John from Riverside Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Actually I dont fall into that boat.....he could make one of many selections I would not find fault with it. I have said this many times since the Nix promotion.....it isn't just what happens with that 1st round pick.....guys like him know how to find talent in rounds 2-7 I would be very curious to know if Byrd was a "Nix selection" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. ChumChums Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 On the other hand...no matter what he picks, he'll be filling a major need! So he can't lose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 All will be well if the Bills simply win .... besides that is what it is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 On the other hand...no matter what he picks, he'll be filling a major need! So he can't lose! You got the right frame of mind. Just pick good players who can play. There are so many holes to fill that whatever strategy he takes will be reasonable. In my view he is going to concentrate on the lines, both sides of the ball. Anyone who thinks that Nix is going to propel the team into playoff contention in one year does't realize how bad this roster is and and how bad the front office is prior to his arrival.

DUTE Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 hopefully he will pick a corner in the 1st ... and i wouldn't feel to bad for him, he already stated in one of his interviews that he doesn't care about what the media or anyone else has to say about his decisions. Proof of this? Choosing Chan as HC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaBill Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Considering the fact that nix said, " I don't care" in terms of popularity of decisions, i don't care either, I am confident he's gonna make good picks. The power of the fans is highly overrated, you think the eagles GM gave 2 sh*ts about the fans opinion when he drafted Mcnabb, of course not. Nix will take the guy he believes is right for the team.

No matter what his decision ends up being, whether he chooses a LT,QB or a defensive player, half of the people are going to hate him for it. he's got a tough draft coming up. I'll judge Nix and Gailey based on their win loss record next season. No honeymoon, no excuses. If they pick a qb (although I personally think that would be an awfully dumb move) and go to the playoffs...I'll love them. If they pick an OT (in my opinion the smartest move) and go to the playoffs...I'll love them. If they pick a frickin cornerback and go to the playoffs...I'll love them. Fact is I'm tired of coach's and managers failing to meet the bottom line. If they lose or fail to have a winning season...I'll hate'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed...which is why I hope this decision is taken out of his hands by the teams drafting in front of him... Can you imagine us on the clock at #9 with the following on the board... Okung Bulaga McClain Bradford Clausen NO chance of happening but realistically I could see one of the QBs, Bulaga, and McClain being available at #9...then what...

BillsPhan Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 The community is so divided on what the bills should do in the first round that i actually feel bad for nix. No matter what his decision ends up being, whether he chooses a LT,QB or a defensive player, half of the people are going to hate him for it. he's got a tough draft coming up. Unless Buddy trades for McNabb, he should take a QB, if he thinks the kid can become a franchise QB within a couple of years, with the #9 pick. In almost every case, when a team is starting from scratch, drafting a franchise QB is the best way to start. If Nix agrees with some of the experts, and doesn't think any of the QB's in the draft are "franchise" guys, then fine. Draft the OT or the DT or the OLB. But I will always be convinced that when you don't have a franchise QB, you need to draft one or somehow trade for one in his prime ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Don't forget, if the first pick is a QB, they don't have to start him right away, just work him in here and there. If the line still looks suspect let someone else take most of the pounding but make sure the line is priority #1 in year two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabres...yawn Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 GM for an NFL team... (with the 9th pick)... No, I don't feel bad for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 No matter who he picks I will give that player three years before I make a judgement. According to some around here it's easy to know if a guy is a bust after one season, even if he missed training camp and the coaching staff has no idea what it's doing.
