BeastMode54 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Draft Insiders via Rotoworld, is stating that the Bills had a great meeting with Bowers and that our team doctor medically cleared him. His knee scares me, as does his one year wonder status, but if the knee weren't an issue would he be high on all you guys' lists? I didn't really see him play. Was he that good? Would he be a good pick? http://www.draftinsider.net/blog/?p=5189 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/6463/daquan-bowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIllsNation Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 he had terrific stats but if you analyzed his play youd realize that his DT's were providing the pressure and giving bowers the easy play. obviously hes talented but like you said his knee and his one year wonder status scare the hell out of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieG Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 A more explosive Cam Jordan. But that was before the surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanInUticaTampa Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 still would prefer jordan or miller, by a lot. I wanted get pissed if they drafted a QB at 3, but I might say a prayer or two and hope that it is the right move. But I think jordan and miller can each really bring a lot to the team, and fairly quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Made you say Fairley. Sneaky Astrobot. Hey Bot, you have been citing trade down scenarios for awhile. I just can't see Buddy pulling the trigger on trading down. What are you seeing that many of us are not seeing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'm not a fan of his play. Hes probably the only defensive player on our radar (if he is on our radar) that I'd be upset if we drafted. I'd take him in the 2nd, but that's not gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 A more explosive Cam Jordan. But that was before the surgery. I'm not even so sure he was more explosive even before the surgery. That's one of the things I've been criticizing Bowers about. He doesn't have that elite explosiveness coming off the line that you would like to see.

What are you seeing that many of us are not seeing? I'm not astro but, it's pretty obvious why we would want to trade down, especially in the top 10. The price would probably be an additional 2nd round pick in the top 10. Looks like there could be 1st round value in this at that point in the draft. Adding 3 1st round talents as opposed to 2 would help this team immensely IMO. Pretty simple explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Astrobot why he thinks Buddy is looking at a trade down when his comments and track record say otherwise.

He doesn't have that elite explosiveness coming off the line that you would like to see. Oh yeah (and I don't hate Cam Jordan)..it isn't even his first step, which is inconsistent. Its steps 2,3,4 and 5. You could see how quick he could get to a QB or a RB after he disengages. You can see a number of his sacks where the QB didn't even begin to scramble. It looked like the OT would have him decently, and the next thing you know, he's on top of the QB. That's the part that reminded me of Bruce, that 5-10 yard closing speed from the line, where he switches to 2nd gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
