Bill from NYC Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 but I am ready to predict that this kid will be at least as good as Patrick Willis. Yeah, I said this. If, IF IF IF IF IF Kyle Williams comes back healthy, I am thinking that this player, along with Dareus, could possibly provide the Bills with the best defensive middle in the NFL.

3rdand12 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 call me steely dan or aja, but what the heck. Kyle not healthy. How dare you?! I thought we are set at Sheppard? This is like the Luke Kuechly thing. Why dont we get D. Poe then. We need the strong side guy real bad . Even if we sign Morrison, which we should. Can D H do that for us? no offense of course.

BuffaloBillsSD Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Bill, you like him over Upshaw? I have watched a decent amount of both and I think Upshaw is the better of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 He'll go a 3-4 team and start for them for 10 years. I'm actually quite happy with Shep. You know the interesting thing is that this draft has WAY more 3-4 talent than last year's. I almost wish we weren't converting back to a 4-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 He's a good player, Bill. But I can't see ANY resemblance to Patrick Willis. GO SABRES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 He's good, but I don't think he'll ever be as good as Willis. Not many have been or will as good as him. He's one of those once in a decade types IMO. I don't think we select him either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinions please. youtube.com/watch?v=DXsxoisEmxQ Bill, You got to stop falling in love with certain players and then getting fixated on them to the point of it becoming an obsession. Last year you were wedded to Mallett, who ended up being drafted in the third round. Your comparison of Hightower to Patrick Willis is a tad over the top. I like Upshaw and also Hightower. If the Bills took Upshaw at the ten spot I would not find it unacceptable. If they took Hightower at the ten spot I would be very upset. The thought of drafting Hightower with the first pick makes absolutely little sense especially with Sheppard being the designated MLB. The Bills have a variety of needs. What I want Nix to do is to draft a player ranked in the vicinity of where they are selecting. You can make the case for Upshaw but you can't do it with Hightower. As it stands I would love to see Nix trade down and get an extra pick or two. There are a number of comparable DEs that would be good value picks lower in the first round. If Nix stands pat with his first pick I would prefer that he took one of the OTs and get the OL solidified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me Wham, or Culture Club, or whateva, but at 10? I have a funny feeling they will reach for Brockers because of the Kyle Williams link.

Dragonborn10 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Martin or DeCastro at #10, then a DE and OLB in second and third rounds, followed by a WR project, a center, a CB, and TE in no particular order... If they sign a pass rusher in FA then move WR to the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we doont have are freaky pass rushers to come off the edges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched a decent amount of both and I think Upshaw is the better of the two. Upshaw is fantastic, but he might be better suited for 3/4. Not too sure.

T master Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) ABSOLUTELY not sure at #10 ?? After i saw Upshaw at the combine & how slow he looked & through watching film Hightower just seemed to be a better fit for what we are looking for .. I like Ingram the guys got game & he's versatile but i but i wouldn't be hurt at all if they took Hightower , i think he'll be a great player !!

ajzepp Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Brother Bill, I had no idea you were a huge Bama fan...I can't stand that team, especially Saban, but I would have no problem turning another one of their front 7 players on D into a Buffalo Bill I've been pretty sold on Upshaw for a while...I'd love to see him in B-lo. As long as we don't draft any skill players or DBs with our first pick, I'll be happy. I want a big, bad snarly sumbiatch for the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 They could trade down and draft this kid. Trade down to address a lesser priority. That doesn't seem to be the right way to go. At draft times you can be like a pre-teen at a Justin Bieber concert who gets consumed by the particular attraction on stage. As far as Mallett, who knew he had substance, and even perhaps other issues? The issue isn't who knew but rather who didn't know that he had a number of issues to contend with. It's like saying that one is surprised that Liberace was gay!!! It is understandable that you didn't know about Rock Hudson, but Liberace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
