NeverOutNick Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Like I said earlier I would've liked to see them trade down but this was a good pick and if he was the highest rated player on the Bills board then awesome! Better pick when you see how weak the CB class is this year (it's been said worst in the last 10 years)...We got one of the last really good ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Here's the problem. This team has been burned by DBs being taken earlier than they should have so anytime we draft a DB everyone hates the pick. The fact here is that this kid has 1st round talent and will start right away. We don't have much in terms defensive backs and with Whitner likely out the door, we need help back there. Williams has a ton of upside. Yeah I know it's not a LB or Bowers but this was a need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 If you mean Bowers, how do you not understand that he has no knee and the entire NFL has based on him, and is likely to pass on him again. The only position Bowers is going to fill is IR. I guess his knee must be bad because everyone is passing on him. Is his knee that bad that he wouldn't be worth 3rd round pick if he was still there?

bobobonators Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Also, with regards to the other need positions like LB, there's a steep drop off at CB after williams, while there appears to be a good number of LBs on the board. There's more draft depth at that position. I agree man...there are PLENTY of LB's available: Moch, Foster, Stuidsvant (typo..lol), acho, Greg jones, martez wilson, bruce carter, LB from miami, etc..

bills_red Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Williams could start at nickle day 1 then replace McGee in a year or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABills08 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I figured they would go CB early. Just was hoping it wasn't in the first round. Don't know much about this guy, but I know he was one of the few corners with 1st round grades on him. He's got a lot of upside and a HUGE wingspan, which is great for a corner. He's 6'1 and 200 pounds. Tweener? Huh? He's a hybrid guy as well, can play all 5 DB positions. Clearly, the Bills are drafting to give themselves flexibility, which IMO, is 100% the right approach given the state of the personnel when Nix and Gailey got there.

nobody Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I didn't like Buddy saying that you should expect separation from the WR and Williams if they go 30 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Not sure I like the position we picked but Buddy continues to pick BPA. May indicate that the staff is not happy with the production from the CB position. Also, a DB that can play CB or safety is very valuable. I can reconcile to the pick but would have been happier with LB or even TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I am trying to figure out why anyone would be upset with this..... He was carrying a 1st round grade.....we have corners that are either getting old or about to be lost in free agency......Whitner is gone........he can play either corner OR safety......so we dont fall apart when the injury bug hits We are doing what needs to be done......fixing the defense........

Kelly the Dog Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I don't love the position we drafted for but it was surely a position of need. I just wanted a bunch of DL, LB and OL/TE fat guys. It's a solid pick though, a highly rated big player who could turn into a very good pro. Nix expects him to be a starter maybe right away from what he has said the last few days. He has first round talent and a lot of the draftniks had him going in the first. Mayock, the best in the biz IMO, had him 26 overall I think. If we go OT or ILB on the next pick with a solid player I will be extremely happy with this draft though. I just don't want a WR or QB or RB or another DB taken in the third.

Lurker Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 we had other needs. That applies to virtually every position on the team. With Florence and Youboty FAs, McGee getting older/busted up, and McKelvin's lack of instincts/boneheadedness, this pick makes good sense. They only have five corners on the team and likely 1-2 will walk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedGame Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Anybody remember how many times Drayton Florence was called for pass interference? I seem to remember him getting flagged several times on 3rd and long. Usually resulted in a touchdown. I bet that pisses a coach off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Does it worry anyone that he had 0...that's ZERO...interceptions last year? I know it could mean that people weren't throwing at him as much, but I don't know if that was the case. Edited April 29, 2011 by Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can reconcile to the pick but would have been happier with LB or even TE. Not sure I can reconcile to the pick and sorry I started another thread on this topic. For me, it starts in the AFC East. That is where the Bills play and compete. Just my opinion, but drafting this high in the 2nd? We do not have six picks in the first three rounds like the Patriots to develop players. If we want to win now, we need impact players that will start now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
