Billsguy Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Mark Gaughn's article had this: 'They could have taken the third tackle in the draft — either Iowa's Bryan Bulaga or Rutgers' Anthony Davis. They could have taken nose tackle Dan Williams of Tennessee or pass rusher Derrick Morgan of Georgia Tech. "I told you guys the last time we met that need was important, but it had to be a guy who we felt could start immediately, not that those other guys couldn't," Nix said.' What a great quote, " it had to be a guy who we felt could start immediately, not that those other guys couldn't" Totally illogical, but entertaining. I guess he wasn't kidding when he said he wasn't the smartest guy. They took Spiller to sell tickets and create some buzz. How about that shot at Lee Evans that the team had no game breakers? I think he was right about that unfortunately. Now I wouldn't be surprised if they took a QB or WR. Speaking of need, they will probably be shopping for starting OT's in round 7.

Glass To The Arson Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Idiot. Fred Jackson is nearly 30. Lynch could be gone. Spiller is the most dynamic player in the draft. You, sir, aren't smart. Nor do you watch college football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrFishfinder Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 CJ has the potential to score on play 1, game 1. And then he has the potential to score every time he touches the ball after that. That's a helluva lotta impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huuuge Bills Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 He's not going to come right out and say that other teams drafted players way too high and they shouldn't be starting (even if that's what he believes). They are potential trade partners, and you don't piss them off for no reason. Reaching for players at a need position gets players like John McCargo. If there are no tackles left on the board worth a high first rounder, don't take one. I would rather have Charles Brown at 41, than Anthony Davis at 9. But that's just me.

Like the intensity, but I disagree. 1. Of all the GM HC combinations in the league, this one has already proven to not be interested in Russ Brandon's "Sell Tickets any way you can" campaign. 2. Lee Evans is not a game breaker. He's a great wide receiver that can not get open...which is a huge thing for a WR. If he cant get open, he cant break open anything....and yes I agree, maybe if he had a supporting cast QB and other WR's, he would be. 3. Who touches the ball every play of the game offensively? QB. And we need one. Personally I like, McCoy. So I want them to go get him. Just my opinion man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it means the bills did not think they could start and contribute immediatly but that you never know maybe they could but it was obvious the bills had a conviction that they could not!

I like your thinking a lot... Spiller, Brown and then trade up to get a NT. Issue, will Brown last until 41?? This Spiller pick could work out after all...

Of all the GM HC combinations in the league, this one has already proven to not be interested in Russ Brandon's "Sell Tickets any way you can" campaign. I have to disagree with you on this one. The Spiller pick was a lot of things, to include a marketing ploy. Furthermore, if their supposed hardcore interest in Tebow has any shred of truth to it, that to would only refute your claim.

BillsVet Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 FWIW, the easiest position to draft in the NFL is running back, particularly in the first round. You've either got the physical skills or you don't. Saying it's brilliant that taking the top RB in the top 10 is brilliant is too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollarcoin Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Do you Spiller-loving idiots not understand that you can't win in today's NFL without a top quarterback? You can have the best running back in the NFL, but without a good QB you CAN'T EVEN MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. Stop drinking the kool-aid and telling yourself that every move they Bills make is correct. Look at Chris Johnson in Tenesee, or Adrian Peterson in Minnesota two years ago with Tarvares - even the best RBs in the league can't bring some junk team with no QB to the playoffs. This pick just proves that the regime is just more of the same. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Be honest, if someone asked you a week ago to list the Bills top need positions, you would NOT have said RB. If you were asked what positions they need the LEAST help at, RB would be near the top of the list. Terrible pick by a terrible organization that is bound to be a cellar dweller until Ralph finally dies and the team is moved to another city.
