BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yes, drafting Offensive players in rounds 1 thru 3 will help our rushing dfeense out immensely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Link. #3 Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri. #34 Kyle Rudloph TE Notre Dame. #68 James Carpenter OT Alabama. I like Blaine Gabbert and this scenario would be a good investment in our offense, but I have to think that it's absolutely impossible that we ignore our D until round 4. WalterFootball should go back to the drawing board on this mock. Our porous run D has to be priority #1. I would absolutely hate this draft. Gabbert should not be taken in the first round by any team. Major reach. We need to stop the run and rush the passer. Troup will take a step forward but counting on Carrington, Batten and Moats is crazy. This is a great Draft for DL. Load up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog69 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Why can't Carrington, Moats, Batten, and Troup be counted on to stop the run? The Bills run defense stinks for one simple reason; we haven't developed players. I for one think the new regime is changing that. The guys we drafted last year are the future too. This is one point that people tend to forget. We addressed several D spots last year in FA and the draft. Those players should help in 2011. Plua, helping the Offense be better, will also help the D. If the O stays on the field and scores more points, the D won't always have to play from behind and face teams trying to ground the ball and burn clock. Not to mention that the Offense was also one of the worst rated in the league so they need just as much attention as the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be upset with that, could also go; #34 Solder LT (hopefully still there) or road grader Marcus Cannon RT or DT/DE Stephen Paea #68 Luke Stocker TE or Sam Acho OLB or Colin McCarthy ILB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I think someone else said it, but if we're going O at 3, we should take AJ Green. An average QB's best friend is a really good receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akm0404 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Don't forget kids, the Bills offense was actually statistically worse than their defense last year. You just remember it being the other way around because the way the defense failed (being dominated on the ground) felt emotionally worse than the way the offense failed (Fitz spraying the ball around wildly).

Just goes to show you what Walterfootball is good for, cause they don't know **** what the Bills are gonna do. Of course the Bills are gonna take Defense. I would be surprised if we pick an offensive player in the top 3. When your defense ranks last in the run, everyone in the world knows we have to get better there. Gabbert is not worth a 3 pick for anything. We mise well go back in time and draft Tim Couch or Alex Smith... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Buffalo Fanatic Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 If the Bills do go offense at #3 I hope it is for Green, not Gabbert. Like another poster said, the average QB's best friend is a great receiver (and TE as well). I would rather see Miller if he is there, then QB @ 34, either Kap or Dalton, then TE in the third. Realistically, I think they will go BPA in a designated need area. You could argue that DL, LB, future QB, TE, OL are all "need improvement " areas. It is hard to imagine drafted anything other than defense at 3 since if your heart is set on a QB at least one good one will be there at 34.

Bufcomments Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 You guys give Fitz no credit whatsoever. I for one believe he might get better with a off season learning more about Chan's offense. Besides they can get a major impact players on Defense in rounds 1 and 2. I like the 3rd round pick for RT and Buddy said himself we need one so that might happen. I have said all year that we need to find players that can rush the passer and stop the run. Even though TE is a need no way we draft one in the 2nd.

PromoTheRobot Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I have it on good authority the Bills will draft a QB at #3. The only thing that will change that is if the Bills decide to pick someone else. You read it here first. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 This is one of the deepest drafts in terms of front 7 defensive talent with a first round grade...if the Bills don't take advantage of that, then they are idiots. I've been trying to read up on Gabbert as much as possible, and the more I look into this kid, the more I do NOT want to draft him. The only offensive player we should even THINK about in the top 10 of this draft is AJ Green. Aside from him, we need to try to grab some of these stud DLine players.

WalterFootball should go back to the drawing board on this mock. Our porous run D has to be priority #1. Why does the Bills porous run D have to be priority #1? Their porous QB play, TE play and OT play is just as important to try and address in this draft as well. Plus, you are forgetting the fact that Nix invested his second round and third round picks in last year's draft on the defensive line, and, he hired Wanny to help straighten that mess out too! Walter Football's mock above represents a type of draft that most of the posters out here defend with their lives: taking the best athlete available on your board, regardless of position. If Nix thinks Gabbert, Rudolph and Carpenter are the "best players on his board" when he goes to draft them, then nobody should get upset that he passed on Von Miller and the defensive guys........RIGHT??

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) seems like they don't know crap. The Bills NEED a pass rusher and real LB's and not th econverted backs that they utilize. The Bills also need to be able to STOP the RUN!!!! 120 to 150 yards a game SUCKS and we've seen some 20 yd games. If you can't see that as a huge negative... please change sports. If the Defense can't stop good offenses from scoring including Bellyache cheaters wth cry baby Brady & company they will not progress to the next level!

nonprophet Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Yup....cause there will be plenty of guys in rounds 4-7 ready to step on the field and help fix the league's worst run defense. :thumbs Yes, after the league grants the Bills special dispensation to field 15 players on defense.
