dgrid Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 only problem with your thinking is he inherited elway,, reeves was the teacher there under shanny they were more run oriented but Shanahan also happened to be QB coach and the OC under Reeves for awile, when Elway was playing. in fact, there are stories of Shanny & Elway changing Reeve's play calls. Reeves loved that. now back to original post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I suppose our 1st pick could be defense, but from everything I've heard, Nix isn't as dumb as the guys making the picks for the last 10 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyjustbcuz Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 if Bulaga or T Williams is still there at 9, bills better grab them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyjustbcuz Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I Lile Bulaga but not at #9. I think he is a low 1st to a high 2nd pick. I wouldn't touch Williams at all as he has a tendancy to lack work ethic and be lazy. Sounds too much like another Williams we drafted for our line!!! I like Okung who should be long gone. I like Bulaga around#17 so if we want him maybe we could trade down. I dON'T LIKE b. cAMPBELL EITHER so Bulaga is a reach, but not a bad choice...just a bit high.

stuckincincy Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Nixie et al should be renting buses - now - to bring any and all that claim to be an OL, and give 'em a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I always thought that the Bills should go with an offensive lineman with their first pick, but doing some research I believe the depth of tackles in this draft is so big we can get a solid devensive guy with our first and still be able to get great lineman in the later rounds, however there are only two players I would select ahead of these lineman. The teams with offensive tackle needs are: Buffalo (9), Cleveland (7), Pittsburg (18), Indianapolis (31), Kansas City (5), Oakland (8), San Diego (28), Dallas (27), Wash (4), Arizona (26), Seattle (6), and San Fransico (13 & 17). Washington's pick could be OT, but if Bradford or Claussen are still on the board, Im sure Mike Shannahan would love to try and groom another Elway. KC might go OT as well, however it wouldn't surprise me to take Dez Bryant and add to Cassel's arsenal. Seattle, Cleveland, and Oakland all need tackles but there are stronger needs in other areas that they should focus on first. That brings the Bills up with only two left tackles off the board, ideally the Bills coulda trade down stockpile picks and still grab a high profile tackle. If they can't trade Buffalo would be best to go with McClain and believe it or not Brandon Graham. McClain to me is an obvious choice IF he is still there. I know you all know the stories and history already with him and the 3-4 so i wont annoy you and repeat it. Im surprised Grahams name hasn't been brought up much on this board. The dude is a monster and can make the transformation to OLB very easily. He showed how much heart and effort he brings to all the coaches in the Senior Bowl and has been continuing to impress scouts with his workouts and work ethic. If McClain is there, we need him; If not Graham is going to be a star and would fit perfectly in Buffalo. So what you are saying is, Our first pick will be defense unless it is offense. I agree 100%, unless we draft a kicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
