We have lots of needs as everyone knows. We Need to Move Wood to Center, Maybe find a 3rd round Guard or Slide Urbik in there. We need a QB, fitz is solid , not flasy but gets the job done. We need a Pas rusher, and we need a RT. We also need a Speed hard hitting LB's. We also need to add a Corner as McGee is starting to break down. We also have to be on the lookout for a new Kicker and punter as our guys while still good are aging.

 

Dude you can't have it all. I don't care if McGee retires, you go with Florence, McKelvin, Corner and Youboty, you'll be fine. They need friggin hulking African-American linebackers from the SEC who weigh 260 lbs and have fraternity symbols branded onto their biceps. Two of them. I don't care if it's your first two picks. I don't care if they're inside or outside. I am done with castoffs playing linebacker on this team.

Realistically, I think we'll be picking somewhere between #5 - #8, and I'm praying Ryan Mallett is still on the board when we do.

 

I think that the chances of us getting Mallett betweeb 5 and 8 are quite slim. Others disagree, but I think that Jones is going to trade up and grab him.

I just hope that he doesn't make the trade with Ralph, but it wouldn't surprise me even a little bit if this happens.

I was a big Adrian Clayborn fan at one time, but he's too inconsistent. Works sometimes and then takes other games off. I'll take Mallet at 2. If we get lower than 3, a DE or LT would be appropriate. I'm still not convinced about Locker.

I'd tend to agree - especially with Jones being a fellow-Razorback. Maybe we end up in a better draft position, or maybe Buddy can trade up. Maybe Gabe Carimi will rise further up the board when we're picking - or Buddy trades down, grabs Carimi and more picks.

 

But if we lose out on Mallett, well hey, there's always Andrew Luck in 2012, or Oregon's Darron Thomas in 2013, or Chad Kelly (Jim's nephew) in 2014...

 

 

Chad Kelly just finished an amazing season as the St. Joe's QB, leading the Marauders to the League AA Monsignor Martin Championship as the title game's MVP. Kelly put up numbers even uncle Jim would be envious of in his junior season. Chad passed for 25 touchdowns and ran for 14 more - accounting for 39 touchdowns - and according to Max Preps.com, Kelly became the first player in New York state history to run for over 1,000 yards and pass for over 2,000 yards in the same season.

 

In 11 games, Kelly passed for 2,159 yards and rushed for 1,057 more, and that type of performance gets noticed. Chad is hearing regularly from such schools as Ohio St., Penn St., Georgia, Syracuse, Wisconsin and a host of others.

 

Chad Kelly already has good size at 6-2, 190, and is still growing. How strong is his arm? Kelly won four straight national Punt, Pass and Kick national competitions, and last year threw the football some 70 yards in the air in San Diego to win it.

Also, from Buffalo Snooze - Kelly puts on show at The Ralph

 

 

Forget Luck, Mallett, and all the rest - Kelly's the most NFL-ready high school senior ever known to man! Too bad he can't enter the draft this April ;)

There's still a lot of football left, and I could see our Bills winning 2 more games. Certainly the Bengals are right there for the taking.

 

Even so, if we end up dropping to 3rd or 4th overall, and those top QB's are gone...I say go pass rush, baby! We desperately need the next Bruce Smith as much as we need the next Jim Kelly.

 

That will not be a wasted pick (as long as Modrak is not doing the scouting), if we go for the best pass rusher/ d lineman available.

Man, that does suck.

 

It would be atleast 3 years before we could even have a shot at him- assuming that he performs as good on the college stage as he has in high school.

 

3 years from now I don't see the Bills being in the basement (atleast I freakin' hope not!), and will probably be starting to round that corner into respectability. That would probably put us right in the middle of the pack/ Top 20 teams.

 

Darn.

Truth is, I think we're looking at a #5 or 6 pick. We're likely to win at least a 2-3 more games. We need to spend all of our picks on BIG guys, linemen and linebackers ONLY. Stock the cupboards and lets get some beef in town.

 

 

Boy, how can this team win 2 or 3 more games....If they don't win against Cincy..tell me who else they'll beat?

The key, Red, is to figure out who will suck in 2014, then trade for that teams 2014 #1 pick - kind of like NE* did by trading Richard Seymour in the summer of '09, for Oakland's first-round pick this April.

 

(Only the Raiders aren't sucking as bad as Belicheat* needs them to, in order for him* to grab Ryan Mallett as *Brady's eventual replacement - maybe Buddy's got a better crystal ball!)

1. Adrian Clayborn, DE

 

College: Iowa

Height/Weight: 6-3, 287

 

He put up 11.5 sacks and 20 tackles for loss last season. He also showed up on the big stage, helping Iowa beat Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl. Clayborn has all the traits to be a very good player and is an outstanding person. He should go in the top 10 of the 2011 draft.

 

per Gil Brandt

 

Agreed. Forget QB. Fitz is Hasselbeck, and Hasselbeck is good enough for me. I want to win soon, drafting a QB puts us back another 3 years. These guys are starting to "get it", lets not start a QB development project right in the middle of it.

 

Dude you can't have it all. I don't care if McGee retires, you go with Florence, McKelvin, Corner and Youboty, you'll be fine.

great post. in the 3-4, you need your best players at LB.

Again, I'd love to see the Bills 2011 draft go something like this...

 

Ryan Mallett, QB-Arkansas - Round 1

Gabe Carimi - OT-Wisconsin - Round 2 (or Round 1a via trade)

Dontay Moch - DE/OLB-Nevada - Round 3

Owen Marecic - FB/ILB/ST-Stanford - Round 4a

 

Remainder of draft - best player available

 

I was hoping we could steal Pitt DE Greg Romeus (formerly projected in round 1 until back surgery) in the late rounds, but in his first game back he tore his ACL - poor kid went from 1st-round prospect to possibly being done playing football...

 

The Greg Romeus injury

 

Injury shelves Pitt's Romeus for season

 

Injuries torpedo Greg Romeus' draft stock

 

 

(Might be worth a 5th-to-7th round pick even if he goes on IR/PUP for the season - I'd certainly gamble a 7th - can't hurt us any more than the Marcus Easley, Danny Batten, or Kyle Calloway picks!)

Assuming that Luck isn't available for us if Jerry Jones wanted to make a deal to move up with us to draft Mallett I would make that deal in a heartbeat. If the Bills could acquire another high pick such as a second or third in addition to exchanging first round picks I would jump on it.

 

We have both stated our diverging views on Mallett on more than one occasion. Our opinions on him can't be reconciled, so I respectfully disagree with you and will wait to see how it plays out. I also strongly disagree with you that Dallas has an interest in taking Mallett with their first pick. The have major needs on the OL and D-backfield. If I had to venture a guess I would think that they would be honing in on the CBs from LSU and Nebraska.

 

Jerry Jones association with Akansas will not have a bearing when he drafts, especially with his first round selection. That is another area where I respectfully disagree with you.

Nothin'-fer'-nothin', but this is about as :censored: -ed up as it gets - half a season to play, and and all we're talkin' is the draft :(

 

What do you expect when the hometeam wins one game out of its first nine? Do you want a playoff and SB thread? Even the owner knows the scoop: He cautions Pain and Patience.

 

Are you aware that your numerous Mallett advocacy postings fall in the draft category? The same topic that now has you fulminating.

Calm down, John - I'm not fuliminating. (Great word, though! :thumbsup: )

 

It was just a comment, ferschrissakes - and a sad one, too - that all of us, myself included, are now so totally focused on April rather than all the football left to be played.
