Prickly Pete Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think many early picks in the second round focus on the defense / O-line, not on WR. What evidence do you have that they are thinking O-line? They didn't bring ANY O-linemen in for interviews. WR is WAY more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter football (who I didn't even read until just now) had 5 based on what I said & 2 QB's / no WR until the Bills pick one. http://walterfootball.com/draft2013_2.php Draft site had no WR in the 2nd round top 10 picks. So there's 2 sites I've never seen saying what I said. Edited April 23, 2013 by mitchmurraydowntown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 In a perfect world we'd trade down, pick up a 2nd rounder and get a starting QB, WR, and TE with our first 3 picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 2013 Bills draft picks: 8. Buffalo Bills: Ryan Nassib - QB - Syracuse: Jets forced their hand. 41. BB - Cordarrelle Patterson - WR - Tennessee: For our quick uptempo offense. 71. Da'Rick Rogers - WR - Tennessee Tech: We're making the offense better, now. 105. Alex Okafor - DE - Texas: Yeah, he falls that far down & we can't resist. 143. Dion Sims - TE - Michigan State: 6'5" & 262 LBS, just throw him the ball then lookout. 177. Nico Johnson - ILB - Alabama: Dansby has to mentor somebody. Top Ten Draft picks: 1. Kansas City Chiefs: Eric Fisher - OT - Central Michigan: Has the Edge on Luke. 2. Jacksonville Jaguars: Dion Jordan - OLB - Oregon: Biggest need looks to be filled. 3. Oakland Raiders: Luke Joeckel -OT - Texas A&M - Prayed for Eric but will take LJ. 4. Philadelphia Eagles: Lane Johnson - OT - Oklahoma: Securing the trenches. 5. Detroit Lions: Dee Milliner - CB - Alabama: Jets won't play ball on the Lions demand, so they cook them. 6. Cleveland Browns: Star Lotulelei - DT - Utah: Can be put anywhere on the line. 7. Arizona Cardinals: Ziggy Ansah DE - BYU: BPA. 8. Buffalo Bills: Ryan Nassib - QB - Syracuse: Jets forced their hand. 9. New York Jets: Barkevious Mingo - OLB - LSU: Part of the rebuild that needs some time. 10. Tennessee Titans: Sharrif Floyd - DT - Florida: BPA this is laughable; neither Nassib or Patterson will be ready to start year 1, meaning picking Nassib #8 is senseless and Patterson is a waste of a pick at #2....wait..... of course this could be brilliiant as it ensures a 2-14 season which would get us Bridgewater, Manziel or Clowney next year.. wait, this is actually inspired, really great.... tank the draft to set up tanking the season... hmmm.... i get it now... ok I agree, Nassib and Patterson. You are brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Nassib will be there. The rest will be gone by the time we pick This Especially Patterson though he will be available for a pick longer than he should be if we waste the 8th pick in the draft on Nassib. That will be a boon to everyone who picks after our first round pick and before our second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRQ_BillsFan Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) This will sound dumb because it is the same player... But a Nassib drafted in the 1st or early 2nd is better than a Nassib drafted in the 3rd. If the Bills or someone picks him up early then that tells me that someone believes he may just be a franchise QB. But a Nassib picked in the 3rd means to me that they feel he is not and has severe flaws. I know this sounds dumb as it is the same player, I just don't think every team needing a QB or backup would pass on someone they feel is close to the real deal. Bash away.

This would also determine when they're going to start him, the 8th pick has a better chance to start versus the ~72 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 This would also determine when they're going to start him, the 8th pick has a better chance to start versus the ~72 pick. That's probably true. If he is chosen at #8, Marrone would likely say we're going to have an open competition at QB and there would be a chance that Nassib would beat out Kolb in training camp and pre-season. If I HAD to choose, I would think that Kolb beats him out for the starting job at first, but I wouldn't be completely surprised to see Nassib win the job (because Marrone would have been shown to have a ton of confidence in the pick) If he was chosen in round three, Marrone will still say that we're going to have an open competition at QB but it would mostly be a sham, and Kolb would have to totally tank as well as Nassib totally shine for Nassib to win the opening day job. And the likelihood would be way less because Marrone wouldn't have that confidence in him, otherwise he would have convinced Nix to take him at 8 or 41.
