BillsfaninFl Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 This is Groundhog Day: The Sequel. Once again the Bills go for a cornerback in the first round while they have more pressing needs. I believe Gilmore is good, but we have huge holes at OT and LB. Now we will be weeping about the ones that got away... again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In space no one can hear Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Highly respected Greg Cosell of NFL Films on Gilmore: The best corner prospect in this draft is South Carolina's Stephon Gilmore. He has a chance to be a Charles Woodson-type player down the road: athletic, physical and competitive, playing outside in the base defense and in the slot in the sub-packages. Cosell had him going third in his mock draft. Edited April 27, 2012 by In space no one can hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverOutNick Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 LOVE IT!!! If we couldn't trade down my realistic picks in order were Gilmore, Floyd or Kuechly...AWESOME Buddy pretty much telegraphed the pick again like I said before in other posts during WGR radio interview and the Draft Luncheon!! BOOM!!! Now lets hope Martin/Glenn/Massie are there in the 2nd and We get a big WR in 3rd (Also Russell Wilson somewhere later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBackupQB Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Just means they didn't have Floyd rated high....but we are going to need WR helo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishRifle Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 This is a solid SEC corner. I'm an SEC guy and watched Gilmore all year. He's a great tackler, solid in coverage, and was rarely fooled by the opposing WR. If you watched the real USC at all you'd know that the defense carried them this year with the inconsistent QB play. Great pick and will help our D as a unit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Guy looks miserable. Did he get food poison when he visited or his he truly that unhappy to be a Bill? Good lick kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'll admit, the man did not look thrilled. But the pick makes sense. McGee and Florence are losing their step. McKelvin is looking like a dud. Our D-line has been revitalized. Our O-line could use improvement but is competent. I'm happy to have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansince88 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Easley it is my friends. We will be playing Easley. Hate to say it but I am fine with that. This is a position we needed to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirty Year Fan Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 It is a solid but not sexy pick. The D just got better as a unit. Who could ask for more than that? Good post I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharebear Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Didnt see anything special besides tackling.. He gets beat deep alot, doesn't shut down WR's doesnt get many picks if any at all, not good ball skills at all, idk how we could reach for him at 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfbillsfan Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Another CB with size. One he can start, Florence can move to the nickel. I like the pick. I agree. Plenty of receivers still out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBeane Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Since a lot of people seem to be not listening to Buddy, I'll repeat what his philosophy is again... Buddy takes BPA regardless of position. That is what he did at 10. Adding the best available player left in the draft to the roster is never a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Can't accuse of Nix of trying to be sneaky. There's no one he talked up more than Gilmore. Feel a little disappointed. Would've liked this pick if were able to trade back a couple spots and get an extra pick. Exactly, how could someone listen to Nix and NOT know this was the pick. I thought this was the guy he thought was a "no-brainer" if he's there. Did you see how fast the Bills got their pick to in? They didn't even bother fielding calls. It's obvious Buddy loves this kid.

Kent H Jr Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I can understand the guy was surprised or maybe he is cold about his expectations to start in a crowded CB unit, don't know, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 No..more the fan in me wanting the glamour pick instead of the need...just an emotional knee jerk...im not a student of the game...more a headline fan..i think i would have rather gone a big receiver or ot...but i'll read the reaction and come around... If you don't know a thing about him isn't it rather irrational to not be happy with this pick? Love the pick. Gotta build the D up and Gilmore definitely helps our secondary get better and younger. Trust in Nix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
