Marshmallow Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 From Rotoworld: Bills GM Buddy Nix likes Auburn QB Cam Newton "a great deal," according to NFL.com's Vic Carucci. "The Bills might very well be inclined to take him in the No. 3 slot," adds Carucci. "I think QB will be prominently on the Bills' radar." Coach Chan Gailey has publicly supported Ryan Fitzpatrick as the 2011 starter, but he's more of a bridge to the future than a legit solution. ESPN's Trent Dilfer predicted Thursday that Newton wouldn't last past the third pick in the draft. Original NFL Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San-O Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Great. And with the 7th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Drafts, the Buffalo Bills select *. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Great. And with the 7th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Drafts, the Buffalo Bills select *. Seeing how Nix and Co. brought us from the 9th to the 3rd pick, 7th next year represents progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Great. And with the 7th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Drafts, the Buffalo Bills select *. Another running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Great. And with the 7th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Drafts, the Buffalo Bills select *. We can load other positions but without a qb, it's going to be a long string of 7-15 picks. Are you implying that a draft of cam, and a lot of defense will produce a lot fewer wins this year? Will dareus somehow vault us into January play? See pretty much every team drafting in the top 5..... Either through free agency or that pick they get a qb or they stay there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San-O Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 It seems the most glaring need of the Bills is along the D line. IMO. Draft one of the stud DTs or DEs coming out, and solidify the D line for the next ten years or so. Or trade down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Man Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Sounds like a classic misinformation campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog69 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Sounds like a classic misinformation campaign. just like they did last year when they said how much they liked Spiller how Chan wanted a 'waterbug" RB. They really fooled everyone with their trickery and misinformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 If Carucci says it, you can pretty much bet the farm it ain't happening. Vic is great at reporting the news out of One Bills Drive after events occur (i.e. the T.O. signing or Jauron's firing), but every time he mentions who he expects Buffalo to draft, he's completely wrong (i.e. we're trading up for A.J. Hawk or Michael Huff in 2006, the team loves CB Leon Hall in 2007, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 In what year of this team's existence are they finally going to focus on stopping the run and protecting the QB? WHAT FREAKING YEAR??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really fooled everyone with their trickery and misinformation. There's a difference between the coach being quoted as saying he wants a waterbug RB versus a reporter saying how much they like a specific player. If Chan or Buddy were quoted as saying they love Newton, I'd give it more weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 For the record i would not be opposed to Cam in a trade down......this is SUCH a strong defensive draft. There are going to be starters there in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.....but I want A LOT of picks in those rounds for my 3rd overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHAT FREAKING YEAR??? I don't know, maybe the 2009 offseason, in which they signed a free agent center and drafted guards in rounds 1 and 2. By the way, isn't it a bit early to be having a conniption over a February report of the team liking a QB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erynthered Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Nix and CG wont be pulling a Josh McDaniels pick for a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I bet you they love 5-10 guys by the time they get done watching film on them. That doesn't mean they're going to draft them. They probably love Fairley, Bowers, Peterson, Green and Dareus, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chan or Buddy were quoted as saying they love Newton, I'd give it more weight. it struck me when talking about him at the senior bowl how much he seemed to be interested in him and how much work they had to do to see if he really could be the guy. it seemed like they thought he could but werent 100% sold on him yet. couple that with his SEC connections, and chans interest in a mobile qb.... it seems like a similar situation. could be that they are playing on having done that last year in hopes someone will take them serious again, but it seems like making teams behind you think you want cam only helps the broncos.....

BeastMode54 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I was reading a chat wrap that Vic Carucci had where he states that Buddy Nix likes Cam Newton a great deal. He also says that we need to address the lines on both sides of the ball, especially on the defensive side. He then went on to say that we need to bulk up on the DL so that the transition back to 4-3 under Wannstedt is made easier. Hasn't Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey said emphatically that we are sticking with the 3-4 but will show multiple fronts. Don't these "analysts" need to know something about a team first before writing things? http://chat.nfl.com/front/index/1391 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
