Bob in STL Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I think Von miller has been sensational this season. He gets to the QB and that is what he was hired to do. I am not sure what his game is like beyond that but he makes big impact plays getting to the QB. Dareus played a monster game and was more dominant than Miller today. Dareus and can play any postion on the line. I think he can be a force like a Deacon Jones, a Joe Greene, or a Bruce Smith (a few old names for some of you but he looks like a throwback DL to me). Dareus does everything plus he is a leader. With the right support he could lead a defense to greatness. I really think so. I am happy that he fell to us. No regrets about not getting Miller and settling for Dareus. None at all. Merry Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmac Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I was thrilled when Denver took Miller, because I wanted Dareus on the roster badly. I'm still happy with the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Before the draft, I actually wanted Miller. I would have loved for him to be on this team, but at this point I wouldn't trade back. Marcel is a beast, and when we get Williams back and draft a stud OLB, our front 7 will be pretty stout. We have GOT to have a solid draft, though....

miserable_fan Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Agree 100% with OP. Good draft pick. Miller and Aj Green are studs too, but Dareus is what we need most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I was thrilled when Denver took Miller, because I wanted Dareus on the roster badly. I'm still happy with the pick. +1 to this. I would have wanted AJ Green if Denver took Dareus, but I'm perfectly fine with how it worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizell Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) agree. pass rushers are easier to find that huge, strong, fast, athletic big men. *than Edited December 25, 2011 by bizell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 All things being equal a star DL is worth more than a star LB, IMO. The only position more valuable to a team is QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Well, Dareus did say that he would make the teams that didn't pick him in the draft regret the decision not to take him. Can't wait til we play Carolina. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Both are very good, I think the Bills got the guy they needed the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Both are very good, I think the Bills got the guy they needed the most Yeah, that's exactly it - it seems that for the first time in forever, the top 5 picks are all great for their teams. And, we got the one we needed most for ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny33 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Yeah, that's exactly it - it seems that for the first time in forever, the top 5 picks are all great for their teams. And, we got the one we needed most for ours. All things considered, this is shaping up to be one of, if not the, greatest draft classes of all time. I've never seen so many rookies make an impact.

Dragonborn10 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 First of all the rookies are playing. Not so sure they are making an impact. That says more about how bad the veterans are and the injuries to veterans. Regardless it looks like the Dareus, Miller, and Green were can't miss players. Normally I always want to trade down but in this case have to give it to Nix that stying put and taking Dareus was the right move. Next year lets hope we a player like Mathews is available at our pick to get the pass rush this team so desperately needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can add a talented edge rusher (along the lines of a Von Miller) to go with Dareus and Kyle Williams we will be on our way. We actually need two OLBs so that Kelsey and Spencer Johnson never line up there again. Moats and Batten do not look like the answer. Moats could be a decent back up and ST player. Batten has been invisable lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batten has been invisable lately. I hope you mean that Johnson and Kelsay should be playing DE for us. Arthur and Danny have not made much of an impact and i had some hope for them. Maybe they are situational at best. so at least one OLB to replace Merriman and another to let Kelsay and Johnson get their hands back on the ground. I love Kelvin and he is young, but not sure we do not need another stud at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
