bisonbrigade Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I keep looking at NFL Mock Drafts and it seems to me nobody stands out as "the Guy" to take with the 10th pick. Couples really doesn't impress. Upshaw is more of a 3-4 guy. Drafting a OT this high is a waste of money. OT's don't win games. Mercilus is a one year wonder. I say try to trade down if you can and load up on pass rushers and WR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHFO Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Let's not even participate in the draft this year. There isn't a single player that's going to be drafted after the #9 pick that has a chance of becoming an impact player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedGame Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Call me crazy, but maybe we should wait 'til after free agency before we get too hung up on the draft. Pick up one key player at the right position and our draft strategy -- and the domino effect on other teams -- looks way different. Say, for example, we DID pick up Mario Williams (play along for a bit...). Suddenly the "there's no standout pass rusher" problem is a moot point...and we shift our focus to WR, LT, CB, or OLB. Or if we grabbed a free agent #2 (or #1) receiver, all this talk about Michael Floyd, Alshon Jeffery and other WRs disappears. I'm just sayin'...

OldTimer1960 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 If no one is worth it at #10, why is someone going to give up draft picks to trade up to #10? Thank you. Every year, many here suggest this and either there is no suggestion as to why any team would give up multiple picks to get the 10th pick or there is some overvaluation of some player that the poster believes is worth someone else trading up for, but isn't worth the Bills' pick. The Bills' needs this year line up with the very highest priority positions in the NFL: pass rushing DE, pass rushing OLB, LT, QB and to a lesser extent WR. If there aren't any players worth taking at any of those positions, what would entice another team to trade up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBD Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Really, name a Pro Bowl OT that played on the Giants or Patriots this year. Matt Light is a 4x Pro Bowler, David Diehl went to the Pro Bowl in 2010. Patriots starting RT Nate Solder was a 1st round pick last season.

Max997 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Drafting a OT this high is a waste of money. OT's don't win games.

Doc Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 There will definitely be a player worth the 10th overall selection. It may not be at a need area, but there will be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Well, Mankins is a guard, Light was a 2nd rounder who is considered to be on the downside of his career and Diehl was a 5th rounder who is considered to be on the downside of his career. If you have a great OT, one who can shut out the opponents best pass rusher week after week, then yes, they are important. It would be great to have one for sure but I don't know if there's even one of those guys in the NFL right now and Kahlil looks like the only "can't miss" tackle prospect this year. There's been a ton of highly-drafted OT busts over the last 5 years. "Franchise" left tackles are very hard to find. But by all means, if the Bills are convinced that the best player available at #10 is an OT and that he can't miss, I hope they take him.
