BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I've made peace with the fact that neither Bradford or Clausen will be available at our pick. If Clausen somehow gets past the Browns, DO NOT put it past Al Davis to take him a pick before us. A cocky California kid with a "me against the world" mentality? That's music to Al's ears.

Look - if Clausen goes in front of us that increases the chance that one of the top three OT's does. Bradford - Suh - McCoy - Okung = 4/8 picks in front of us Still left are Clausen - Trent Williams - Bryan Bulaga - Eric Berry. If they ALL go, that leaves us with NT Dan Williams or Spiller perhaps. They could also go with Davis or Campbell or Haden (doubtful) Dez Bryant will also still be there and Morgan. I think pick 5 is the key: If the Chiefs go TACKLE then the "tackle run" begins. If they go Berry (which is what I expect them to do), then one of tackles OR CLAUSEN probably falls to us. T-Minus 7 days and 5 hours (8:45 pm is when the Chiefs pick). -RnJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 He will have to do a "Ricky Williams" type of trade with Stl. to get to that #1 spot. I don't see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree that you have to be aggressive, you have to be smart aggressive. Technically Al Davis and Danny Snyder are aggressive every year and look at where that's gotten them.

bourbonboy Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 [if that fails.....they will probably take Clausen at #7 Actually, just the opposite may be true... Cleveland supposedly does not like Clausen....you never know who's blowing smoke at this time of year, but if they're looking to move up, it would only make sense if they're down on Clausen and they think Bradford is significantly better. And if that's the case, and Clevelend doesn't work a deal with StL, then I seriously doubt that they would take Clausen at #7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalonian-at-Heart Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 if that fails.....they will probably take Clausen at #7 I don't think you can make this assumption. Just because they don't get Bradford doesn't mean they will just pick Clausen. I don't consider these two things linked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if that's the case, and Clevelend doesn't work a deal with StL, then I seriously doubt that they would take Clausen at #7. Exactly. The walrus wants Bradford. If St. Louis feels he is desperate, the price goes up. I bet he wishes he didn't say what he said about Clausen. If he had any interest in Clausen, he wouldn't be on the phone with St. Louis. You can bet your bottom dollar that Clausen will be there at #9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bet your bottom dollar that Clausen will be there at #9. Not if St. Louis likes Clausen enough they're willing to trade away the chance to select Bradford. If St. Louis makes the trade, it's most likely they rate Clausen almost as high as Bradford & are taking Clausen at pick 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertpaul49 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 It might be possible with the amount of money that St. Louis will have to fork over for the #1 pick. Personally, I will begin to vomit a little in my mouth if the Bills select Spiller, kind of like the time they drafted Flowers. Trade down, draft Gerhart in the second.

dollars 2 donuts Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 +1 on this thread. Because the discussion back and forth seems decent, respectful, short and to the point and well thought out. Normally don't we hate that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
