By the same token I'm not buying any commentary coming out of any front office staffer from any franchise. I'm not a Christion Ponder fan. It seems that he has never been the same since he had arm issues. I would not be affraid to take Locker if he was available in the second round. He made the point that his accuracy has dipped ever since he threw more from the pocket than when he rolled out. He is the type of diligent person who can with a lot of work improve his pocket throws, I think??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bflojohn Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 No mocking of Phil Taylor, NT, Baylor is in error, IF, and that's a huge IF, he's available in the second round!! He made the most out of his chances to shine and moved up draft boards. The Jets and Steelers would likely look long and hard at this heir apparent to Kris Jenkins or Casey Hampton, so you'd have to jump up passed them to land this NT, IMO!! Late first is my thinking right now, and he'd look mighty good in Buffalo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sllib olaffub Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Aahhhh....I wish I could've seen the Senior Bowl. I also believe the Bills will be looking hard at improving their linebackers. There's little chance they bet on Merriman being back - enough not to get insurance, anyway - to full form. And besides, his contract is only 2 years. I think it is important - very important - to notice how Edward's Defense played with what we might call a level playing field, talent-wise. And, the difference a really powerful, lane clogging DT like Phil Taylor can do for a run defense. I've got to think that our staff will look very hard at him if he's available in the second. To me, it seems a real lane clogger in the middle would be of much more value to us than another DE - since we have Carrington and Edwards, as is... and could take an OLB like Miller or Karrigan to generate pressure off the edge. This draft will be tricky. I think, considering our needs, we'd be better served to have a lower first round pick and another second - as Astro suggested. Guys we might really like - as we sit now, like Taylor, for instance, might be picked up a few spots ahead of our high second and third round picks. Nevertheless, in the first 4 rounds, as it stands, we have 4 picks. If we don't make any moves, and we draft wisely and get lucky, then we should be able to walk away with 3 or 4 starters. You figure 1st and 2nd will be starters. If the 3rd is a QB, then I think he'll probably sit behind Fitz for a year or two. But, if we get a TE in the third or fourth, there's a good chance he could be starting - if what we have doesn't start producing real quick. But, that second round is looking like a nice round to load up on linebackers. Edited January 30, 2011 by sllib olaffub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Why would SF want to trade up with us? I dont see anyone that is top 5 worthy worth tading up for in this draft. I think the top 5 maybe the top 10 stay put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro - aafter the Senior Bowl, where do you see James Carpenter going? Before the game I was hoping he fell to our 4th, but IMO he was teh best tackle playing today, where does he go now? Also, where do you see Brewer going? M. Cannon? I am hoping for a starting RT in this draft. Alos, J Jenkins from Clemson, Reed from Arisona, and Stocker from Tenn. - where does your site predict them going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I saw enough of the tatted down QB and Dalton to wait for a QB later in the draft.....both those guys would be perfect as protoge's for Fitz I agree that a trade down would be best.....but either Darious or Quinn should be the pick.....also....I was NOT AT ALL impressed with todays offensive linemen.....please bring in a servicable free agent RT. Make RT and TE the free agent priorities.....and go HEAVY on defense in this draft 1 - Darius or Quinn 2 - best linebacker available OR best DE available that fits our defense 2 - same 3 - Dalton or Tatted QB (sorry forgot his name) 4 - Swing OL or defense 4 - Possibly a safety 5 - BPA 6 - BPA 7 - BPA We are fine on WR......Evans isnt going anywhere.....Stevie J.....roscoe coming back....Nelson was a fined.....loved the rook who got hurt in camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Nix slam the LB's for being too small earlier this week. No duh they're drafting LB's. It's all dipsticks here on TWO-Bills-Drive who think they are drafting DL. Your draft looks awesome to me - and spot on with the needs... except for Ponder. I'm a Florida State alum and fan, and Ponder's a good kid and all, but his arm is a wreck, and he was a mess in practice this week. He also didn't look all that great this year. I think a 3rd round pick is too much for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Why would SF want to trade up with us? I dont see anyone that is top 5 worthy worth tading up for in this draft. I think the top 5 maybe the top 10 stay put. Because in fantasy-land the Bills can trade anything to anybody and they'll just roll over & make the deal. I've got a better idea-Nix should get both movie versions of "The Producers", study them carefully and figure a way to trade our 1st round pick to all 31 other teams. Then we'll have the rest of the 1st round. Instead of Bialystock & Bloom, it will be Nix & Gailey. Edited January 30, 2011 by Albany,n.y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimer1960 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I like Kerrigan, but I don't know if he can play anywhere in a 3-4. He is very small for a DE in the 3-4 and I have read that he really isn't quite athletic enough to be an OLB in the 3-4. Maybe what I've read is wrong, but I think he might struggle in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Could be looking to get QB ahead of QB needy teams such as Cincinnati and Arizona. All the mocks with the QB trade-up motive keep forgetting that as many as 4 teams may address their QB situation in FA with Palmer, Young, Kolb and McNabb.

Ok we get that you have a huge man crush on Bruce Carter but taking him at 7 would be insane. The guy had major knee surgery a month ago and will def. be around in Rd 2 if not Rd 3.

DE and try and convert them to LBs. we always do this so it is not out of our rehlm to continue so. Nice player, great program, great school .... but way, way too risky in this day & age IMO to take a white player that high who doesn't play QB or LT. Even the phenomenal AJ Hawk didn't really pan out. Yeah and Jason sehorn of the Giants wasn't athletic enough to play Cb beacuse he was whit e also? LOL. Not too biased, are we?

Of which none of those 4 are free agents, Matt Hasselbeck is available however. So it would come down to giving up a 2nd round pick for one of those guys, or giving up a 2nd round pick for Gabbert or Newton.
