To sum it up its saying that the Bills could show interest in sending over a 2nd for him so they could use their #9 pick on a different position knowing they would have a proven LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munch Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/features/ru...atures%2frumors anybody with espn insider willing to post what is written in the article? It said nothing of value really, just speculation we COULD be interested (obviously) because we need a LT and have a high 2nd round pick. it was mostly there just because of what chris brown said on Buffalobills.com. here is that link: http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/04/02/fan-friday-4-2/ I am all on board with bringing him in for a 2nd, and trading down as far as possible, My meaningless opinion is that this is a good draft to have alot of picks in, however Gaither IMO is better than all the tackles in this draft, aside from Okung and maybe Bulaga.

bkc Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 To sum it up its saying that the Bills could show interest in sending over a 2nd for him so they could use their #9 pick on a different position knowing they would have a proven LT This would clearly be the best option, everyday it looks more and more like three tackles will be gone when we pick. If there was some way to pull off off this trade we should jump on it. Then at 9 trade down if you find a partner . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnywo Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/features/ru...atures%2frumors anybody with espn insider willing to post what is written in the article? Here ya go....i think the comments are more interesting than the article itself.. Updating the Jared Gaither saga -- for some background, click here -- there was a report from Jason La Canfora of NFL.com last week that a trade could get done for the LT with just a high second-round pick coming back to the Ravens in return. As we know, Gaither was tendered at the first-round RFA level, so if a team signed him away with an offer sheet the Ravens didn't match, they'd send their first-round pick to Baltimore. In essence, this now means that teams who were previously scared off because they picked so high in the first round are now back in the picture. Our speculation at the time was that the Redskins (No. 37 overall) could be in that cohort, but that's out of the question now that they've shipped the pick to Philly as part of the Donovan McNabb deal. The Raiders (No. 39 overall) and Bills (No. 41 overall) are the two teams most likely to get in the mix. Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com addressed the Bills' possible interest in Gaither recently. In exchange for a late first-rounder or early second-rounder, Gaither is a great value, according to Football Scientist KC Joyner, and depending on what happens with the LT-needy teams in the first round, Gaither could be the big story of Day 2 of the draft, per ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter: Adam Schefter This could get interesting "Baltimore has a surplus of tackles, and for the right price, it will deal Gaither. Washington is one of many teams that need tackles, and what happens in the first round of the draft could dictate where Gaither is dealt in the second round. The teams that need tackles, and don't get them in Round 1, could wind up dealing a pick in Round 2 to Baltimore to get Gaither. Washington would be one of the options, but there are others. And it'll be a story to follow on Day 2 of the draft." KC Joyner Gaither is near elite status "Gaither has been a starter for the past two seasons and in that time his metrics have been nothing short of superb. He has allowed only seven total sacks in 27 games and only one of these was a one-on-one sack (defined as when a defender beats a blocker in a one-on-one environment and tackles the quarterback in the pocket within three seconds of the snap). That illustrates Gaither's dominant pass blocking skills, but his run blocking numbers are also quite notable. Gaither was at the Point of Attack (POA) on 300 running plays the past two years and he won his block 255 times, or 85 percent of the time. That is a solid number on its own, but his 2009 POA win rate of 89.0 percent is even more noteworthy. To put that total into perspective, consider that in a typical NFL season, a little less than one out of ten offensive linemen will crack the 90 percent POA win mark. Gaither was on the precipice of that mark last year despite battling injuries." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 To think, we coulda drafted him in the 5th round of the supplemental draft! The previous FO was caught too often napping, participating in Wii Fitness games, and watching re-runs of "The Golden Girls", "Matlock", and "In The Heat Of The Night".

DanInSouthBuffalo Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I'd hate parting with a draft pick, after all it's fun to speculate who might be picked with the pick you give up. However, in the last ten minutes I'm beginning to see the light that could change the direction of the Bills franchise. #1. Trade 2nd round pick for Gaither #2 See if the Redskins would take a 5th for QB Jason Campbell (or a 5th and a player, etc.) The team would have a whole new look and the best players at other positions in the draft could become a priority. Think about it........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I think Chris brown "reported" recently that the entire "Gaither on the trading block for a 2nd" was just a ploy by teh Ravens to get him motivated enough to get to camp. As much as he does sound like a great move, theres a reason why the Ravens would be willing to move such a young LT with potential, and it sounds like he has serious motivational issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offyourocker Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 That means we could take the best player available at number 9 which could be another tackle or maybe CJ Spiller and bye bye Marshawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
