[Ghost of Rob Johnson]

I dislike his work ethic questions. If selecting between the two at 9, i'll take the more sure thing in Bulaga, even if the upside is less.

Bulaga

[SawchukBills]

Not even a question at this point. Bulaga!

[lvbillzfan]

We can't miss here. BULAGA !

[sharper802]

Every mock draft I have seen Bulaga is long gone by #9. Only way I thought he would be there at 9 is if Bradford, Clausen, and Berry are all taken in the top 8. Then probably need either a LB or Bryant taken in a surprise pick. I guess anything can happen. Would be a value and need pick - whatever those are. I would settle for a great player wherever he is taken.

[OldTimer1960]

I agree that Bulaga seems to be the "safer" pick. However, there are those that don't think

Bulaga should be picked that high. The knocks on Bulaga from those with that point of view

include:

* doesn't have a powerful lower body to drive defenders off the line

* has marginal arm length (this supposedly can let a defender with longer arms have an advantage)

* is built more like a G than a LT

 

However, those knocks seem less scary to me than Davis' reported lack of work ethic

and maturity.

Every mock draft has Bulaga gone?

Heck, the concensus draft at draftek has us taking Bulaga. We might very well get a shot at him.

Bulaga for sure......

[BuffaloBillsMagic1]

Bulaga would be typical hardnose Billsplayer we could use. Davis at RU had some issues. Too risky. Bulaga all the way.

[leper65]

I'm afraid they will do something stupid and take Clausen if he's there...which I hope he's not! I'd be happy with either Bulaga or Davis, I hope it's Bulaga though.

Yeah but he's young. His arms will grow. Just needs a little time in the gym.

 

 

Right?

[OldTimer1960]

Right?

He may get stronger, but I doubt that his arms will get any longer. Again, that doesn't mean that he can't

be a good NFL LT, it just means that he will have to find a way to overcome not having ideal arm length.

[Thoner7]

Bulaga Rd 1

 

Davis Rd 2

 

Hopefully Davis will be gone before our 2nd rounder.

 

PS Bulaga is young and will be turning 21 later this month.

[Pete]

Bulaga in a landslide

[Wizard]

This isn't even a debate. Bulaga is overall the better prospect.

[Wagon Circler]

Bulaga over Davis.

But I don't think either of these guys are a lock.

Other players they would have to consider:

McClain, Claussen, Dan williams.

You cannot get a great player at these positions after the first round.

You might find a starting OT in round two. Ducasse?

They might not be as fixated on an OT as people on this board seem to be.

Just my opinion.
