CarolinaBill Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Barron is very nice, but frankly speaking, we dont need him. A Corner, Wr, LT, or even qb are higher priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rstencel Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 We have much bigger needs than safety, expectially considering Safteys lead the team in tackles way too often last season, we need serious improvement in LB play so safteys dont have to be first line of defense anymore.

The Tomcat Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I would love to pay back AJ Smith for all the disdain he has displayed towards our franchise throughout the years. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/23/chargers-have-discussed-trading-up-for-mark-barron/ 8 spots it too far I'm my opinion .....I'm hoping we trade back with Dallas.

jjmac Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Me too. Safety isn't a need area in my opinion and there are too many other areas that could use a talent upgrade. I can see us taking a safety, but only for depth/special teams and not before Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Well...No... But to be fair JP was a QB, and Barron/Whitner are Strong Safeties...And at this time in 2006 there were some teams, like the Bills, who felt Whitner was the next coming as well...I think Barron is a better player coming out...But he's a SS...And I don't believe in Drafting SS's high...Especially SS's who don't project well to FS in the NFL...Whitner only helps that argument...But I hear what you're saying...I would take an Eric Berry type S at #10 Overall in this Draft if that helps... Good points, but you don't take any safety in the first unless your team is so stacked you can splurge. It's a low impact position, relatively. We would immediately be no better off than we are now.

Tipster19 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 huh? It was actually just a few snide remarks towards Ralph several years back. Throw in the Meachum theft and he just kind of rubs me wrong. I glad that we got Buddy Nix, I hope that it burnt Smith's ass. He's a smug bastard and I guess that I just don't like him.

Buddy was free to "steal" Meachum, but he didn't want to pay the guy that money. How is that Smith's fault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 It was actually just a few snide remarks towards Ralph several years back.

The Chargers' recent signing of Roscoe Parrish was interesting too. And of course this is all in the context of the Merriman signing and Nix's non-amicable departure from San Diego. It's not hard to imagine some competitive dislike between the two organizations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Meachum theft? Buddy was free to "steal" Meachum, but he didn't want to pay the guy that money. How is that Smith's fault? You're right to a point but a deal was basicly made on the phone while Meachum was still in Buffalo. I haven't really ever heard of that happening before, have you? If so it's not a common practice. Look, AJ Smith is an intentional SOB in my book and if Buffalo could stick it in his ass by either taking a player that he covets or bleeding him for a so called such player then I would really enjoy it. Call me petty but anyone splews poison about anyone or anything about our franchise then I don't forget it and I consider them an enemy. AJ Smith can kiss my ass for all that I care but if he doesn't start getting that team deep into the play-offs soon then he may be looking for a job and THAT would suit me just fine.

RyanC883 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 With all these teams wanting Barron, it may not be a bad idea to actually draft him, and see what we can get when there is an actual bidding war for him. If we don't get what we like, we have an Ed Reed type player in the secondary, and that value cannot be underestimated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Seems like a lot of teams like Barron. If he can cover Gronk, might be worth taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPS Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Cox? Why Cox? A. He is a beast who can play every position on the line B. Depth and rotation C. Justin Tuck D.

1billsfan Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Barron plays safety which is a supportive, non-impact position. You just don't draft S, TEs, or OGs with the #10 overall pick. It's going to be Blackmon, Gilmore or Kuechly who play positions of greater impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
