hondo in seattle Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hope Jonathon Martin is still there. Pretty annoyed with the (very unsurprising) bull **** Gilmore pick at 10. Whatever. Typical Bills. I'm sure you've watched more game film, interviewed more college coaches and players, and have performed more studies of what it takes to succeed in the NFL than Buddy Nix and his team of regional scouts.

Billshank Redemption Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 yea honestly I think the bills are trying to solidify one side of the ball this year completely (long term as well) before attacking the offense next year. Not to say they won't but I mean it seems we were never even intending on doing that his year. I don't think Nix for whatever reason wanted Floyd. I personally really liked him but it is what it is and I for one am happy that were going with the BPA approach it makes our drafts a lot more understandable. I think Buddy wants a burner with our wideout so you can rule out Jeffrey. If Hill or Randle is there look for him to be the pick. If not whomever they have rated higher between david, glenn, martin, or adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiebills Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Gilmore's aggressive going at the ball and at the player is great ecspecially with byrd and Wilson covering behind him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habes1280 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Cordy Glenn Jonathon Martin Bobbie Massie Mike Adams Courtney Upshaw Lavonte David Stephen Hill Reuben Randle Alshon Jeffrey That's a nice crop. We'd catch a real break if Cordy Glenn made it to us at #41. It would be great to have a mauler at G or T that could handle the improved Pats* front seven. I think he'd be a huge attitude-changer for the offense. Massive body, great feet, and versatile-- exactly the kind of player that the Bills covet for the OL. That said, if we missed on him, I'd cry fewer tears if we landed Lavonte David. Position of need, a natural OLB, and a great guy who we'd love to pull for. I can't say the same for Courtney Upshaw... And while many of you noted that Fleener isn't a position of need (I might disagree-- he's a playmaker and our offense needs more of them), the fact remains that SOME team will be interested in him, and that would bode favorably for our chances at a player like Glenn or David.

biggerdaddynj Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I think Nix ruled out a TE in this draft. Sure did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills(70) Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Typical knee-jerk, uninformed fan reaction. Get a clue. Right, because the Bills have shown us time and again in the past 15 years of drafting that a reaction like this is hardly warranted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 yea honestly I think the bills are trying to solidify one side of the ball this year completely (long term as well) before attacking the offense next year. I think maybe what they are thinking is that last year our Offense was ranked number 14 in the league in points and yards. But we were 29th in points given up per game and 25th in yards per game. If we could improve the D to around the middle of the pack and improve the offense even slightly we should be knocking on the playoff door if not busting it in.

BEAST MODE BABY! Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Right, because the Bills have shown us time and again in the past 15 years of drafting that a reaction like this is hardly warranted Exactly. You know, because Dick Jauron is still our coach and Russ Brandon and Marv Levy are our GM's. Wait a second... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hope Jonathon Martin is still there. Pretty annoyed with the (very unsurprising) bull **** Gilmore pick at 10. Whatever. Typical Bills. After thinking about the Gilmore pick, it was an outstanding pick. we are still going to get a WR and OT in rounds 2 and 3. Wow, nice draft options. Should we pick one and then trade back into the 2nd for another one of those 9? I like that idea. We have a few extra picks. Bundle the 3rd round pick and whatever lower round we have an extra pick and move back into the second round for another dip in that pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The more I think about it the more I like the Gilmore pick better than if we had taken Floyd. But if you add Waters and Mason..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharebear Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The Gilmore pick is looking better because there are a decent number of WR's and OT's left on the board. You can't find 6' 2" corners with 4.3ish speed that weigh 195 every day. I suspect we go with OT in round 2 and possibly pick up Brian Quick in round 3. But we'll see what happens. i think hes only 6 even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
