Dat Dude Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Mel Kiper's latest mock out today on ESPN insider has the BILLS taking Melvin Ingram ! I'd be o.k. with that! Edited March 7, 2012 by T Flynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertpaul49 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Personally, I think that Melvin Ingram was the player the Nix was referring to when he talked about over-analyzing height and size. I would be fine with Melvin Ingram, even though, he has short arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 For pass rushers, Melvin is 1a and Mercilus is 1b for me. Don't even mention Maybin either he played 40 lbs lighter in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 If you hear Ingram talk, he is very passionate about football and I wouldn't doubt his success in the NFL despite his shortish arms. He didn't build his considerable resume using someone else's arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1B4IDie Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Good. That means there is no shot it will happen. The only picks Kiper got correct in the Top 10 in 2011 was Cam Newton, AJ Green and where Julio Jones was picked. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/675649-2011-nfl-mock-draft-mel-kiper-vs-todd-mcshay-who-got-it-right Edited March 7, 2012 by Why So Serious?

You have obviously never noticed how long Aaron Maybin's arms are. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnybillsfan Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 i would be happy adding ingram to the d-line, anytime you get a talented player that is self motivated, has great character and work ethic it's a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the pick will be a LT because Ingram might not be there @ 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Smith's Arm Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 i would be happy adding ingram to the d-line, anytime you get a talented player that is self motivated, has great character and work ethic it's a good day.

He didn't build his considerable resume using someone else's arms. I 100% agree. This guy LOVES playing football. Look at the tapes of him playing. I would be thrilled if he were the pick. Short arms are a dumb excuse for not drafting a guy who did so well in college. He's the only D player I would want at 10. Otherwise I'd take an OT.

swnybillsfan Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Sounds like Donte Whitner... donte wasn't a bad guy, he just wasn't a great player. and i think his biggest flaw was wanting all of the attention and getting into twitter wars with people (i assume many of them complete morons) and being overly upset by it. well, that and coverage.

Herb62 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Ingram is the only DE that is not a reach at ten, if not him trade down, if that's not possible because Nix can't multi task then take one of the OT's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Cthulhu Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Reminds me of the von miller detractors last year: "yeah, he knows how to play football, loves playing football, but he's too risky because he's smallish for his position. He'll get swallowed up in the NFL." Yeah, how'd that work out? Count me as an Ingram fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Sounds like Donte Whitner... Except when Whitner walks into a restaurant they hand him the kids menu. Ingram is going to be a star with good coaching to utilize his skills. Just say no to Brockers,Perry and Mercilus. We can do better than those 3 @ #10. Reminds me of the von miller detractors last year: "yeah, he knows how to play football, loves playing football, but he's too risky because he's smallish for his position. He'll get swallowed up in the NFL." Yeah, how'd that work out? Count me as an Ingram fan. +1 Ingram is the only DE that is not a reach at ten, if not him trade down, if that's not possible because Nix can't multi task then take one of the OT's. +1 To this , too. We'll be fortunate and blessed if he's not taken before #10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 He didn't build his considerable resume using someone else's arms. Good stuff… consider yourself warned that I'm going to steal and re-use that concept… possibly many times. Sounds like Donte Whitner... Wow. I would never have thought to compare Ingram to Donte Whitner. That's a Whitner-esque reach. Ingram tends to jump out at you from the videotape while Whitner never did that. That's why Whitner's selection was such a surprise to everyone, fans, media, and personnel guys alike. Unlike Whitner if Ingram is the Bills pick, no one will be surprised.

Dragonborn10 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Martin at #10 is the best option, he may be BPA(other than DeCastro)at that spot and fills a need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think Ingram is not particularly quick, nor strong, and is not a stud at any position. I would not take him at 10. Frankly, he looks like a borderline NFL'er to me and in the 1st round, I want a 5 year starter. Yeah, I know I could be way off, but so could those trumpeting his attributes.

I like Ingram a lot but won't make any predictions about how his NFL career will go. However your first sentence is way off. Not only does he look quick and strong in his videotape but he also tested quick and strong at the combine. Where are you getting your impressions of Ingram?
