MattyT Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 You were upset that they tried? Because it would have been a bad move? Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC882 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Buddy said he was gone  Has to be Dan Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Maybe they were trying to get Bulaga? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Buddy said he was gone If it's the same name Simon mentioned yesterday, he was gone before Tebow ... but to the same team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 This just makes me like Buddy and the Spiller pick even more. I, for once, have faith that the FOOTBALL men in charge of the Bills will get us some good players in this draft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Tried to move up..hmmm. The more I hear of Buddy, the more I like him. A very straight shooter with no other agenda other than to make the Bills a winner again. Pass the kool-aid. I love the Spiller pick and can't wait to see the rest of the draft. Â Â I like Buddy too. I think they were going for Williams and that Cody will be the Rd 2 pick if he is still on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I'm not sure if when Buddy said "but he was gone" if that meant Tebow or the player that they wanted? If he means Tebow I bet they were trying to get in front of Indy to take one of the LT prospects. Â I took it that he meant the Player they wanted was gone...

RunTheBall Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 What a refreshing amount of non-BS to come from a GM. Â He may be blowing smoke up out asses but at least he didn't break out the old "he was the exact player we wanted and targeted from the day I became GM blah blah blah..." Â He basically acknowledged the Bills would listen to any offers, and who they take/took depends on how the board falls. I don't know jack about running a draft but that sounds like a very reasonable strategy to me. Â I'm not sold on Nix/Chan but he seems like a straight shooter.

JinWPB Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Did ya even watch the draft.... Dan Williams went 26 to Cards, Dez went 24 to cowboys, Bulaga went 23 to Pack. Â It could have been Rolando McClain at 8, or Okung at 6, or Trent Williams at 4. I'm guessing Okung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who you're replying to, or how you think trading to climb back into the bottom of the round would net a top-10 player who was already long off the board.

He never said if moving up meant from the 9th spot or back into the first round later so both theories could be valid. He said he had the chance to move up 1 spot, but at that point the guy they wanted was gone. So it would have to be within the first 7 taken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Did you watch the video? He never said if moving up meant from the 9th spot or back into the first round later so both theories could be valid. I did watch the video. Nix said they could have moved up ONE spot. He basically tells us who the trade partner would have been. Â He also said they had some calls to trade down. But no strong interest...don't know if he meant the other teams weren't that interested to move up or that the Bills were not that interested to move down. I would guess the latter. Or else why would the Bills send the pick up to the podium so quickly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would have to be within the first 7 taken And now we're disregarding all the reports that the Bills were trying to move back into the first round. Nix hiimself said that they did try when he was specifically asked by Chris Brown (on the Tebow question). Â IMO, the Bills tried moving up (for Okung or T. Williams) and couldn't...and later tried to move up (for D. Thomas or D. Williams) and couldn't. Â Lotta trades this year. Nix suggested that the 2nd round might be just as crazy.

oddoublee Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I don't see why you'd be upset over moving up for Tebow and not getting him, versus another player. Â bc he is not high on tebow. its not like this guy is trying to make you read between the lines here. let it go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nix suggested that the 2nd round might be just as crazy.  Not sure why you replied to me as if I got it wrong and then in your very next post agree with what I said. To be clear, Nix first mentioned moving up very generically which COULD have meant moving back into the first round. Later in the interview he made the "one spot" comment. Those could have been two very distinct opportunities to move up, and probably were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
