RealityCheck Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Bowers all the way. That arguably gives us blue chip DEs in both 3 and 4 man fronts. In nickel we would be stouter against the run, and have a pass rush from both the inside and the edge without blitzing. I just can't imagine any of these ILBs having a bigger impact than Bowers. This would mean that we exchanged McCargo and Stroud for Darius and Bowers. I hope Wanny is a good salesman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Not saying we will - or should - take Mallett, but I think Nix will think hard about it. Â Go ahead and say it Senator. Since when do you hold back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 The same Levin Brown who they thought so little of that after training camp they didn't even put him on their practice squad? Not the same. You're thinking of Levi Brown. Not Levin Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloFan68 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I say we grab Kaepernick and end the QB issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Fixed it. Why? Now my useless comment making fun of your typo is now just useless. Â Oh well, Bowers is an interesting option. I really don't like it though. I would prefer to stay with the Defense but instead get a LB of some sort. Edited April 29, 2011 by The Wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I believe Mallett is the highest-rated player not taken in round one and, unless Belicheat trades the #33-pick to a team desperate for a QB, also fills the Bills' "QB-of-the-future" need. Â Not saying we will - or should - take Mallett, but I think Nix will think hard about it. Â (I just hope we don't take the injured, inexperienced, underclassman TE from Notre Dame - Kyle Rudolph - I keep thinking back to Tony Hunter...uuughhhh!!! ) Â Ryan Mallet will be the best QB out of this class....i hope the Bills take him at #34.

qwksilver Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Id be happy with any of them. Dont take a QB. Â Â All those choices and a few more! Slide down with someone that is in love with Dalton or Mallet and pick up an extra pick maybe a 4th. Â There really isn't a bad choice in that group. All would work, we have tons of holes! I would lean toward OLB (the one from UCLA?) if we stay though. Edited April 29, 2011 by qwksilver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offsides#76FredSmerlas Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I like Brooks Reed; plays with a nasty approach every down... Him and Dareus would bring and attitude and toughness to our defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Ryan Mallet will be the best QB out of this class....i hope the Bills take him at #34. I hope you're right on both counts! Â (6' 7" - 245 lb. QBs with cannon arms do not come around often, and the Bills have the luxury to groom Mallett for 2-3 years behind Fitz. Unless Belicheat trades the #33-pick to Jerry Jones, I think Mallett becomes a Buffalo Bill tonite.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Akeem Ayers or Bruce Carter, linebackers or Pinkerton, the OT from Pittsburgh. I see us really addressing the trenches in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Wilson. 6 4. 250. Blazing 4.49. Grades out best at ILB. Compared to Dansby. TAKE HIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 It depends on whether or not the staff believes Dalton, Kaepernick, or Mallett is capable of being a real Franchise QB - the kind that will allow us to pass on QB's for the next seven to ten years and will make us competitive each and every year. There's such a mixed review on these guys - to me, Mallett looks like a better version of Flacco, Kaepernick looks like a poor man's Newton, but might very well end up being just as good, and Dalton might also be a surprise - sort of a Brees type... so, if they really like the upside of any of these then I think you do go for it. Â Also, we should be looking at an OLB type who can be a 4-3 DE, too. Someone who is in the 265-285lb range who can be an OLB in our base, and shift to the DE when we go 4-3 look hybrid fashion. Who fits that mold? Brooks Reed? Jabaal Sheard? Houston? Can't overlook Bowers! If we pass him physically, imagine walking away from round 2 with 2 of the top 3 overall defensive talents just a month ago, in most mocks! Â Then there is Rudolph, if he's available. Â I think if you go QB with the second you still have a chance of landing a good LB in the third, and a decent TE in the fourth, so that would be my choice, unless there is a D-line or hybrid OLB type at 34 who is just too good to pass up, like a Sheard, Austin, or Ballard. Maybe Wilson is seen as borderline first round talent, and would be an immediate starter at either OLB or inside linebacker. I read somewhere that Brooks Reed has very similar measurables as Clay Matthews. Again, though, if they want a QB of the future, I think they have to get him here at 2. They can get RT in F.A., and a TE later in the draft, as well as LB's. Â I don't think there is a "franchise" QB left. Ponder in my opinion was the only one in the draft who had that potential. Time will tell. Mallet could also turn out to be that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Circler Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Akeem ayers is a great fit for our hybrid system. If we get dareus and ayers, if be thrilled. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 After sleeping away my beers, I woke up with a change of heart. I had previously stated that we shouldn't draft bowers due too our depth on the DL. While I'd be happy with Wilson, Ayers, Reed, Rudolph, kaepernick or Dalton, I'd be equally happy to land Bowers. A DL of Dareus, Williams and Bowers would give us one of the top DLs in the league. to add carrington troupe and Edwards would give us the deepest as well. That's is, if bowers can remain healthy.

Pete Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 incomplete list. Most of the guys I want are not even on it. Who the !@#$ is drafttek? I got news for you.
