BuffaloBlood Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 well hold on there cowboy, if we took spiller and got a 3rd or better for lynch it wouldnt be so bad now would it? Â Yes it would. We need big bodies and a QB. I dont care how good a RB looks I dont think you take one in the first round let alone the top 10. You can find RBs you cant find QBs and LTs. You need to take a guy who can be a cornerstone of your team when you have a top 10 pick. I hate the idea of a skill player right now until you have built your front 5 on the O and your front 7 on the D. Forget WRs and RBs....please please please draft a tackle!

Gotta Dream Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 CJ Spiller is pretty impressive though. 4.24 speed. In contrast...Don Beebe ran a 4.21 and Reggie Bush ran a 4.33 He's ridiculous. He's got good size and great hands. He would be a game breaker and help captain checkdown tremendously. Â That being said, the Bills cannot afford a miss at the number 9 pick. They better pick a sure fire player and he's not the Adrian Peterson of this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gflande1 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Thats the kind of pick a team makes if they are either on the verge, or want to stay in the basement. We have too many holes to fill to use a pick on a position we are atleast average at. In a year or two, maybe, not now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Little Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I can't believe anyone would be opposed to adding a tremendous offensive playmaker like Spiller on a team so lacking in playmakers. He would be an excellent pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You actually make a valid point there. If our front office views this guy as the next Chris Johnson and he turns out to be that you can't complain about a pick like that. If he's head and shoulders abover the rest as far as best player available then you have to at least consider him. They did set up a visit with him didn't they?

Meark Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Spiller is a play maker and looks like he can score every time he touches the ball. I wouldn't be upset if we drafted him. Take an OT at #41 and trade Lynch for a 3rd or 4th round pick. You don't get a chance to draft a player like Spiller often and there is no QB that I would take over him besides maybe Bradford. Is there going to be a sure fire starting LT or NT #9?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget WRs and RBs....please please please draft a tackle! not advocating taking spiller, but if we did, naturally one would think lynch is gone, so if we were able to dump him for a 3rd or better it wouldnt be that bad, look at what chris johnson has done for tennessee. But you're right you cant find a QB (warner, brady), or a LT (peters). Â I actually agree with taking a tackle, but keep in mind the OT's available, are not considered elite LT prospects, so maybe, we would be better off not REACHING for a player who isnt an elite talent at his position. We may be better off taking clausen and looking for washington or saffold later, who knows. Â My point was that taking spiller may not be as bad as we think, but Id rather not find out.

BuffaloBlood Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 I am appauled by some of the people on this board. Have you guys learned nothing from watching the Bills this past year. WEAPONS MEAN NOTHING IF YOU CANT GET THEM THE BALL. You cant run effectivly without a strong line, you cant throw without a strong line and decent QB. We have neither of those! Last I checked we had a 1,000yrd runner on the roster that we are happy with and we also have a pretty darn good backup (even if he is a scum off the field). DRAFT LINE OR QB.

Peter Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I am one of those people who firmly believe that games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage. I would love to get one of the premier linemen with our first pick. Â Having said that, I also believe in drafting for value. I hate it when the Bills reach on picks. If CJ will be the kind of player that many think he will be in the NFL and he is the best value when we pick, I would not be upset. Â I have not seen him play a lot on the collegiate level. Nevertheless, when I say him play against the Canes this past year, he was very impressive. He is fast, of course. Yet, he is more than just fast -- he is a football player and a productive one.

Â As far as wood and levitre goes, they are great. They had great rookie performances, and they will probably only get better. So if you want to draft a Guard to replace them with the 9th pick, then you are silly. As far as hangartner goes, he is average. but he is tough, he is versitile, and he can play through injury. if you want to replace him with the 9th pick at center, you are silly. If you want to replace our RT with the 9th pick, you are silly there too. The only position as far the the 9th overall pick goes that is worth picking, it is LT. Â But we can also draft an LT in the 2nd round. You are making it seem like they can only draft LTs in the 1st round. wtf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
