mjt328 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Pretty clear LB isn't happening at 10 so get over it. Also, we'll have a WR and CB within the first 3 rounds (probably first 2) Definitely not a positive sign for us drafting Kuechly, but I still wouldn't cross him off as a possiblity. I also agree that cornerback is a bigger need than linebacker, but I think Kuechly will be the best player available at #10. The comment that stands out to me is Riley Reiff. Our front office hasn't made a positive comment about him once during this draft process, without also mentioning his shortcomings. If we go tackle in the first, it's much more likely to be Jonathan Martin or Cordy Glenn. Nix seems to be very tight-lipped about Michael Floyd - and this is the second or third time I've noticed it. He hasn't been that way about any other player. It's also baffling (based on our needs and draft position) that Floyd was not in for a player visit. I think it's a smokescreen. It's interesting that Nix thinks there is a "no brainer" pick at #10, but he isn't sure that he will be there. Based on mock drafts all around the country, the only players that Buffalo has been seriously linked to, that also may be gone before our pick are Michael Floyd and Stephon Gilmore. Think about it.

Cash Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 He will say it was the person they end up picking. You do not often hear GMs saying "We wanted Jones but he went two picks before ours." Obviously that's the standard move, but Buddy's pretty honest & forthright. If the guy he has in mind is the guy we pick, he'll definitely tell us. If not, he can't come out and crap on the guy he winds up picking, but he'll probably say that the no-brainer was gone without saying who it was. You never know, though. Last year Nix & Gailey made it pretty clear in their post-draft press conference that Dareus was #2 on their board behind Newton. We could see a similar situation this year.

beerme1 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 12:25 Comment From Greg Is there a "no brainer" picks at 10 in your mind? 12:25 Buddy Nix: There is. I don't know if he'll be there. You beat me to it on this one. Very intriguing. Hopefully Buddy tells us who it is after the draft. He must be talking Kalil here. Or RG3 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladiebla Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Sounds like we won't be taking a WR at #10 Jup, sounds like LB and especially Kuelchy (no brainer pick plus 3 positions comment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also no Barron that much was obvious from the chat. Why do you think he has ruled out LB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayman Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Why do you think he has ruled out LB? He was tilted towards discussing LB multiple times and never took the bait. He also straight up said CB is more important that LB. Keep in mind this is just for the first pick we're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsrhody Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Why do you think he has ruled out LB? He said CBs were more "Important" than LBs... but that doesnt necessarily mean that he'll take a 2nd tier CB over a top class LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Soooooo, 1 QB, 2 WR, 2 LB, 2 CB, no TE Nix also specifically mentioned depth at both DE and DT in the middle rounds. I would expect probably one of each. Right now the backup DTs are Torrell Troup and Alex Carrington, and I doubt the Bills are super into that. Definitely not a positive sign for us drafting Kuechly, but I still wouldn't cross him off as a possiblity. I also agree that cornerback is a bigger need than linebacker, but I think Kuechly will be the best player available at #10. The comment that stands out to me is Riley Reiff.

Based on mock drafts all around the country, the only players that Buffalo has been seriously linked to, that also may be gone before our pick are Michael Floyd and Stephon Gilmore. Think about it. Totally disagree on the smokescreen idea. But we'll see. Regarding Kuechly, there's a chance the Panthers take him at #9, so it's still possible he's the no-brainer Nix is thinking of. Plus Nix specifically said the depth at LB is not great, so it could be a situation where he feels he has to get one high or not at all. Not predicting it, just saying you can't rule it out from this chat. I personally am ruling out Floyd based on this and other quotes, though. And if I'm wrong, I'll... not really care, because there's nothing at stake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Btw, the guy who he has as a no brainer at 10 has to be Kalil or Gilmore. Agreed. Most likely Kalil, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
