NewEra Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I prefer to get a stud QB rather than a stud LB. I don't think the prospects available when we pick will have a good chance to become great. Hence my vote for LB. If it were a great QB draft, then my vote would be QB. Both are needed. QB is much more important in turning this team around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiebills Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yeah its a tough draft there seems to be a lot of QB's in 2-5 Barkley, Nassib, Bray, Dysert, Manuel etc. but not a lot in the 1st. But it lloks to be very defensive heavy in the 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I don't think that guy is in this draft, so why not grab the impact LB? We can get our QB after the coming 3-13 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By impact LB do you mean a 3 down guy who can do it all or like a pass rusher coming off the edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I wonder how many votes "Fire Buddy Nix before the draft" would have got if added to this thread at the start? Drafting for need, at certain positions is one matter. Having a competent successful GM doing the evaluations is even more critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We need LB's badly!! bar far the worst group on the team, we also need another receiver. Titus Young just got released he would definitely be a nice pick-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I used to believe that you can win in the NFL with a solid team and a mediocre QB. I no longer believe that. I think that the QB is the most important position and Fitzpatrick cannot be the starter. Until the Bills find the guy that can, everything else is pointless.

RuntheDamnBall Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Isn't our owner on record as saying we need a TE that doesn't get injured? Sure, but biggest need? If we could draft a TE and he would magically play like Gronkowski from the get-go, I'd say sure, because that would add a dimension in the passing game we do not have. But I think that Gronk's rise has as much to do with his QB as it does with him (and we do not have a a QB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homey D. Clown Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I had to pick Linebacker, since the QB position is also a high priority, I based mine on what the team might be able to grab in early rounds. the QB class just doesn't impress me.

4BillsintheBurgh Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yeah its a tough draft there seems to be a lot of QB's in 2-5 Barkley, Nassib, Bray, Dysert, Manuel etc. but not a lot in the 1st. But it lloks to be very defensive heavy in the 1st I think it's going to be a very interesting draft with regards to the players taken. Everyone's talking about all the defensive talent, but with all the offensive coaches hired this offseason I wouldn't be surprised if the offensive players are overdrafted in the first round. It seems most of the front offices are looking to improve their offenses instead of their defenses. It may leave a decent lb for us in the second round, but maybe not a wr or qb.

BuffBill Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 This team will continue to be a joke and never be taken seriously until they get a franchise quarterback, or at least one that can throw 25 yards downfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) I had to say CB. Gilmore is the only real starter; McGee should retire, Williams can't play, McKelvin is unrestricted, and that leaves unproven Ron Brooks and Justin Rogers. Having said that imagine if we were able to draft Kuechly last year. Gilmore was a good pick I think though. 1. DB 2. LB 3.

The Wiz Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) The Interweb tubes really do need a sarcasm font. I think bazooka font would do the job.

Bufcomments Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We need LB's in the worst way. but QB trumps that's because they can win a Super Bowl for you. I would be happy with a LB-QB or QB LB in the first 2 rounds. Then another LB, WR, and another LB....and another LB lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I've gotta say Linebacker. The QB position has to be upgraded, but I think you can survive with Fitzpatrick. The defense allowing the other team's offense to operate like it was a track meet is a big problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
