FluffHead Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Im scared to death that they're gonna draft Patrick Peterson and this just makes it sound more likely that that could happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInUticaTampa Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Im scared to death that they're gonna draft Patrick Peterson and this just makes it sound more likely that that could happen... I am thinking that too. Either peterson or green. I would be happier with green.... but I wanted all along either luck or front 7.... so since luck is out....

Nothing earth shattering, but I thought part of it was interesting, especially what he had to say about the draft. http://www.fan590.co...113_142254_3424 Well, he's right that we have lots of needs and he's right that he shouldn't show his hand and he should prevaricate. That's part of the game. On the other hand, sometimes in the past it has seemed as though the Bills have drafted contrary to the opinion of the better-respected pundits just to be ornery, and they outsmart themselves.

Bob in STL Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Im scared to death that they're gonna draft Patrick Peterson and this just makes it sound more likely that that could happen... I did not get that at all. All I heard was that he does not listen to mock drafts and neither should we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whateverdude Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) I did not get that at all. All I heard was that he does not listen to mock drafts and neither should we. Maybe he should start listening to mock drafts because they have done a hell of a lot better job at picking talent than the bills staff has.

BillsObserver Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'd be quite surprised if Peterson went #3 overall. I thought he had a bad bowl game. Every cornerback but him was making plays unless you count kickoff returns. Yeah, we should draft another gadget guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiz Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Maybe he should start listening to mock drafts because they have done a hell of a lot better job at picking talent than the bills staff has. +1 Ralph should fire his entire scouting staff and subscribe to profootballweekly. I'd even take Kiper's picks over these clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I didn't get much at all from that interview... other than he profsses to be "a best player on board" drafter. Man... pick a winner this time pleeeeeeaaaaase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Maybe he should start listening to mock drafts because they have done a hell of a lot better job at picking talent than the bills staff has. This is a new staff with one draft under their belt so how can you say what they should do until it has a bit of time to see how the draft picks work out . You along with a lot of others are judging this new staff from what the previous staff did & they are mostly all gone now so give em the benefit of the dought.

ko12010 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Wow. Neither one of you 2 know anything about the NFL draft.. Sound like Dolphins fans.. That's an unfair statement. While I don't advocate following mock drafts as a drafting technique, the Bills staff has in the past truly just over thought the whole thing, to be honest. Sometimes it's easier to see who is going to be good in the future than it's made out to be. For instance, most people agreed guys like ngata and orakpo would succeed. For whatever reason, our "experts" outsmarted themselves. I do have faith in Buddy Nix, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meathead Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 i WANT them to draft peterson mcgee may never be right again, mckelvin will likely stupid himself out of cb1 status, and florence simply will never be a franchise corner if your defense has a legit shutdown cb you play most of the game like youve got an extra player out there please god/buddy take peterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananathumb Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Don't know who Greg Brady is, but it was nice to hear a "local" media type who knows a little bit about football. That said, Nix's comment about "not drafting for position" was pretty important. It DOES mean that AJ Green or one of the CBs is in the mix if they are the best guy on the board when the third pick comes up. I'm not overly concerned about that, because other than Fairley, the DTs everyone is slobbering about haven't impressed in their big games. Then again, neither has Peterson. Pick the best player, Buddy boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWings Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Lets pray that it's smokescreen Remember how Buddy kept saying that Lynch is a member of the Bills and he wasn't seeking a trade? This is a game and he's playing it. If he was starting to lead people to believe that he'd take a CB with the #3 pick, then it could encourage other teams to trade up for that pick. If I was Buddy, I wouldn't tip my hand either way...just say that there are a number of areas where they need to improve and leave it at that.
