San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Watching highlights (in this case, not video), he's definitely a quick-twitch and a natural ball athlete. He looks tailor-made for slot corner and reminds me a lot of former Bills DB Tony Greene although a bit bigger all around. Clearly he is a special teams gunner extraordinaire and his speed and quickness are deadly on the slot corner blitz (unblockable). I didn't see him block any punts but it looks like he would be exceptional at it. All of the Bills picks have a strong chance of contributing as rookies. The first two guys are starters, the 3rd round wideout will get lots of reps in passing down sub packages, the first fourth rounder will challenge for a starting spot (over Morrison) and this kid Brooks looks to be perfectly suited for nickel corner playing the slot The Bills are suddenly quite deep at cornerback.

Offside Number 76 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Was not a starter at LSU I'm concerned by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAWNDO Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 well im looking to see what chan going do with Ron Brooks. But as a starting CB i can't see that happening..only time would tell They did not draft him to start, dime with eventual nickel potential.

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I honestly feel and get the impression that buddy nix is purposely trying to rebuild the Bills around aggressive athletic and physical players. I think they have a clear image what type of team they want to resemble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Stop bringing up facts - it interferes with the fantasies around here. Two guys that will most likely be out of the league in 2-3 years Thanks for contributing informed views. It's alright to say you don't like a pick. But to not back it up with anything other than useless, negative comments? Big fail, guys. I'm sorry for your misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todzilla Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 No shame in Brooks not starting behind the 6th overall pick this year and a 1st round pick next year. The guy looks likea playmaker. Our special teams just got better too with Brooks and Nigel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Oh yeah, I forgot. If Stephon Gilmore didn't spell the end of Leodis McKelvin, I think Ron Brooks just did. #datrite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have a clear image what type of team they want to resemble I agree. There's a coherent vision… you sense the blueprint underneath the picks both in the plan drawings and the detail drawings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bananathumb Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Bills regional scout who watched LSU games described him "like a jaquar" when he closed on receivers or ball carriers. This team is being built for SPEEEEED! (like Jimmy's Cowboys once were). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 These days you clearly need two different types of corners. Guys that can play inside and guys that can play outside. Superior players can do both, but slot corners are a very valuable position, and Brooks looks very good at that position. I didnt really want a couple corners for this season, but for the future, Williams, Gilmore and Brooks look very very good. I don't really like Rogers much as a long term guy. Florence is over-rated. McGee is a ?. McLuvin is gone after this year, and maybe before the end of his contract. Brooks and Gilmore are locks to make the team, IMO. I doubt you could even stash Brooks on the PS. We will likely keep 6 CBs now. But Rogers or Leodis could be out. Depends on McGee's health, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Oh yeah, I forgot. If Stephon Gilmore didn't spell the end of Leodis McKelvin, I think Ron Brooks just did. #datrite Amazing that I believe he was the official opening day starter last year.
