95altima12 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I know Martin, Glenn, WRs and so on are still out there and would be great value as well but.... if we did draft Upshaw I wouldn't be mad. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureBillsGM Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Doesn't really fit our defense at all but good value I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todzilla Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 He seems like the type of player that will end up with Baltimore and then kick butt for them for the next 10 years. I don't think he fits our D per se, but he's the type that the type the analysts will gush over and say "he's a football player" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPS Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Let's see...stout against the run with pass rush ability... What's not to like? I just think it's almost negligent if the Bills do not take an OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todzilla Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I agree NoSaint, I loved watching Upshaw in college. A very hard hitter that always seems to be around the ball. If we go defense in the 2nd round, I'd prefer Lavonte David or Vinny Curry. Curry would be great to add to the pass rush as we imitate the Giants model.

zonabb Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I posted yesterday he's gonna be a steal for someone. Might not fit the Bills but I think he's gonna be a great player somewhere. His measurables doomed him And he's a classic cases of teams overlooking his production and overhyping his measurable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I am not saying whether I would like him now, but I think, at one point, some people had us taking him with our first round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 If Martin, Glenn, or Fleener are there it just ahs to be one of those guys. I would take Upshaw or David over a Mike Adams. In fact wouldn't surpise me if Adams lasted until late second or early third round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Upshaw was my choice for #10 through most of the offseason. Up until we announced the official switch to the 43. I really like the kid and think he will do well in the NFL. But I just dont think he has a spot on our defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the kid and think he will do well in the NFL. But I just dont think he has a spot on our defense. What spot does he have in any NFL defense? He's still on the board because he doesn't have an NFL position. He's (relatively) small and slow. He is a heck of a college player, and he may well turn out great somewhere in the NFL, but he's definitely a risk because of his poor measureables. I have to believe the Bills are grabbing either OLT or WR with the next pick - probably OLT based on Buddy's comments last night to Chris Brown.

OLB/DE in a 34. Had we stayed in 34, I think he could have been very successful at replacing Merriman. Same size, 1 inch shorter.

C.Biscuit97 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I once thought he might have been our pick. But I really believe him in the 2nd is going to be a steal for someone. He seems like a real good kid who was productive in a big time conference. He obviously isn't a need but if he was the pick, I won't might it at all.

OCinBuffalo Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Good. If other teams think he's good...that bumps down another OT or WR option to us. I hope there is a run on TE too. I hope somebody trades up to get Clemson's TE....after Fleener is gone. The more bumpin', the more thumpin' Edited April 27, 2012 by OCinBuffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
