Ever Since '86 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 The chance of having a better QB to lead our team is a lot more important than drafting a kid who might play special teams for a few years then make someone's practice squad. You're delusional, there is no franchise QB in this draft period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Yeah South Dakota State is so much worse than North Dakota State, and heaven knows good players don't come out of Div II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC-Bills Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Lol, a DE from South Dakota State instead of Tony Pike. These rednecks in charge are hilariously out of touch. Yeah right. I am sure they are really concerned about your opinion instead of their coaches and scouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 He weighs 24 pounds?! Yes, but he has a big frame and should be able to get to 28 pounds without much problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 FWIW, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila came out of SDSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggins Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Yeah right. I am sure they are really concerned about your opinion instead of their coaches and scouts You sure have a lot of confidence in a franchise that has shown nothing to garner that confidence since what, 2002, and was only overshadowed by bone-headed first round picks by Denver, lol.

Leonidas Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 If he projects to ILB he could make the team. But otherwise, he looks really, really slow, and I can't imagine him playing OLB in our 3-4. Just my $.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked, we have a new front office with a guy who has a proven track record in finding talent. So I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt as opposed to the people who B word and moan every time they make a choice and it wasn't who they wanted.

Leonidas Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Mike Mayock, NFL Network 192 -- Bills -- DE Danny Batten The Bills' makeover to a 3-4 defense continues with this pick. In the second round they took Troupe, in the third round they took five-technique Carrington, and then with the last two picks they've gone to small school conversion outside linebackers. Batten from SDSU is an undersized, quick, try-hard edge rusher whose motor never stops. I've never seen more college DEs who are candidates for 3-4 conversions in one draft in my life.

Rico Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I wasn't watching the draft today & when I first glanced at this thread, I saw Danny Batten, S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 wager? Hopefully he's as rich as he is stupid. You sure have a lot of confidence in a franchise that has shown nothing to garner that confidence since what, 2002, and was only overshadowed by bone-headed first round picks by Denver, lol. You really know your draft talent. Every year before the draft you should submit your analysis on players for all the teams. I'm sure only the best one would hire you.

oak tree 12 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Even NFL.com didn't have stats (like height and weight), much less analysis on him. so i guess the bills scouts really did their homework, brady was a sixth round pick who didnt even start in collage,you sound like an idiot. just because YOU never heard of the guy he sucks. the guy who sucks is the guy you see in the mirror every morning when you are pulling your head out of your ass!

Wagon Circler Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 That is one impressive highlight package. Appears strong, runs through people, 4.7 speed. Nice pick here. Ideal 3-4 rush linebacker. I think this kid may stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Whew! That was close. I was starting to worry we weren't going to get a DB. j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Another small-school DE that will convert to LB. Unlike Moats, I really see Batten staying on the outside. I'm still obsessed with short shuttle times and vertical leaps: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/nfl-draft...ducing-sackseer And Batten's are good. 32.5" vertical is nothing impressive, but it's not really horrible, and his short shuttle is an insane 4.05s! That's elite for sure. I guess Batten has short arms, which is kind of a hindrance for outside contain, but has anyone been able to track down an actual measurement? I haven't. How short are we talking here? Does he need an extender to wipe his butt? I always talk myself into way overrating all our late-round picks, and this year is no exception. (The exception was last year, when we went with a gonzo late run on DBs.) I really like both of these LBs in the 6th. LB is a position where good players frequently come out of the late rounds (along with C, OG, & S), so I don't think I'm totally crazy in thinking that at least one of these guys might wind up being a steal. And yes, I am getting excited about two 6th-rounders just a couple hours after posting about how you can't get either angry or excited about anyone drafted this late. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

I'm surprised a mephisto like you doesn't work in the NFL. You are apparently an under appreciated NFL talent evaluator. Either that or a parrot who can only regurgitate familiar names. Fuggin moron.
