kegtapr Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I hope he brings the leadership he displayed at LSU, big piece currently missing from the Bills D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Its exactly what we needed the most, a solid run stuffing, tough inside linebacker who can tackle. Not sure he will be a good or great player but it was the most important thing we needed, IMO. With Dareus, Williams, and Shepard, DE/DT, CB, ILB, we just did what we needed to do. Lets hope they all turn into solid players. I'm on board with this draft. Nothing stupid, needs taken care of, one stud player. They all played at big schools against top competition. All three are leaders. All are physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Cthulhu Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Wouldve preferred Houston, but overall A so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Sheppard is a good player. Talented and a good guy. I'm liking Buddy's draft right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Houston biggerand better stats. Sheppard a backup. Was 13th ranked LB by osme. Looks too small to me. Not a wide guy thats for sure. Don't like pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 So now we're seeing the wisdom of this draft…all three players are excellent run defenders for their positions…and we got a guy in the 3rd that some posters here were hoping to see drafted in the 2nd round.

flmike Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Buddy will be smart to stay away from Mallet. Didn't impress me in the Sugar Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 The Bills draft is not sexy but I really like it so far. Our d will get much better. If lights out really still has game left in him we may take a very big step forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoner7 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Dont think you can do much better than Sheppard here. Has the size, speed, and intelligence. Im pumped. I never thought he would last till our 3. Greatest draft in years so far. We could still trade up for M Wilson but teams clearly dont like him - no instincts. I want Herzlich still, prob the 2nd 4th we have. RT and TE too. Nice draft Buddy Edited April 30, 2011 by Thoner7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koufax Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Sorry you didn't like him in the Sugar Bowl, but he was too good a talent to pass on in the third round to me. New England just took him, so I guess we will find out. I like us getting three straight good defensive guys, and these three players will help this team, but I don't think we got the BPA in round 3 like we did in round 1.

Buffalo 66 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Where on Buddy's board is Mallett? I sure hope Sheppard is a great player, but I would have rolled the dice on a boom or bust in the third round since he could have a year to sit and learn. Whether he is Drew Bledsoe or Ryan Leaf, I think it would have been a smart pick. 3800 yards, 32 touchdowns and a 64% completion rating in the SEC with a rocket arm is worth the roll of the dice to me. Very disappointed here, but will see what happens. We can get Luck with the # 1 pick next year, and if we win more than 1 or 2 games, we can trade the farm to get there!
