BIllsNation Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 okay so if in the offseason if we signed a guy like cullen jenkins then went and signed an ilb like barret ruud and resign whitner and poz would you guys be opposed to drafting aj green in the first round and a guy like mallet in the second?

Zulu Cthulhu Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'm not opposed to taking AJ Green even if none of those FA signings happen. Doubt Mallet will be there in rd 2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sllib olaffub Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 There isn't just one way to build a team. I think, as has been discussed here thoroughly, that the better a team knows what it wants to look like, play like, then the better able it is to identify capable and potentially excellent players to fill it's roster. Whether we get Miami's young NT Solaia(?) in F.A., or draft Phil Taylor, makes little difference to me as I like them both. But, overall, the more spots we're able to fill via F.A. with more than stop-gap players (like last years poor excuse for a RT Green), then the more freedom we'll have in the draft - if F.A. comes first - and, the more F.A.'s of quality that we sign, the sooner we'll be able to compete for a playoff spot, as opposed to relying strictly on the draft.

OldTimer1960 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I don't know if I'd like Mallet even in round 2. He is big and I think his arm is GREAT, but he is not exactly mobile and behind the Bills' line that is bad. From what I've read, he hasn't shown the ability to read a defense consistently, either. I am more concerned with the (reported) inability to read a defense more than the lack of mobility, but an immobile QB who might be slow diagnosing what the defense is doing behind a poor pass-blocking OL doesn't look to me like it will result in success.

Mr_Blizzard Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 okay so if in the offseason if we signed a guy like cullen jenkins then went and signed an ilb like barret ruud and resign whitner and poz would you guys be opposed to drafting aj green in the first round and a guy like mallet in the second? I don't like the scenario that you describe. We need to get big and tough on defense. We have to be able to win our division - aka beat the Jets and Pats - which means stopping the other teams' offenses. I don't want another WR; we already have several decent ones on the roster. Assuming Lee is back next year and Easley and R. Parrish are 100% by training camp, we have plenty of WRs. We need to build the defense in 2011.

Nanker Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 There probably will not be a FA signing period prior to this year's Draft. No CBA = NO FA Period, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 okay so if in the offseason if we signed a guy like cullen jenkins then went and signed an ilb like barret ruud and resign whitner and poz would you guys be opposed to drafting aj green in the first round and a guy like mallet in the second? Yes, No and No. WRs and RBs are adime a dozen So Robert Quinn should be at 1 and and OT, NT or ILB should be at 2. Poz is serviceable but whitner can go and we would be fine Rather have Scott and Wilson back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cullen Jenkins yes, but why would you want to resign Whitner and Poz? And why would you sign a Poz 2.0 in Ruud? No thanks IMO Cullen Jenkins and Cofield should be our top 2 priorities.
