Peter Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 "Panic move" seems to be the favorite phrase of the naysayers of EJ or Kiko. Stop it. These guys have been preparing for the draft for a year. Disagree with the pick if you want, but the Bills and the scouts have put in the work to put their board together. You may disagree with the way they value a guy, but I seriously doubt anyone in the draft room is having a panic attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Was just able to get on. Who is this guy? Any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Anyhow... Why would they take this Alonso? All I know from googling him is that he's clearly an alcoholic. Sounds like a future special teamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I am and I love the pic! He can cover, he's tough as hell, and his earlier off field issues kept him from not being a first/second round grade. This kid is a great prospect in Pettines defense.

billsFORlife50 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Great pick to go along with Sheppard in the middle they should make a good combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings and Beer Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Really wanted Minter, but a nice consolation prize. I'm thrilled with our first 3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 NFL.com team talked about pure athleticism; said he can be all over the field. Everyone seemed high on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Anyhow... Why would they take this Alonso? All I know from googling him is that he's clearly an alcoholic. Sounds like a future special teamer Hes a first round talent at LB. His drinking issues were before, he went sober and became what some believe to be the best player at Oregon, even with Dion Jordan there. He can fly all over the field, is great in coverage, and is tough as hell. His off field issues led people to believe he might scare some teams off and he would drop, otherwise he would have gotten more coverage and hype. Saw him play a lot, and he jumped off the screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 OK, am I the only one who will be joining the chorus of "Who the !@#$ is this?" Never heard of him, never saw him mocked. I mean, I want some people at ILB, but I really haven't even considered this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtf1444 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 This is a great night! Really happy with this pick also. Wish I was at the Bills bar in NYC watching the draft again if I wasn't still so hungover from last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him play a lot, and he jumped off the screen I saw him play a ton and I totally agree. Oregon's best defender the last two years. Always around the ball, great hands. I bet he had more interceptions over his career than Teo. A very solid football player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FleaMoulds80 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 An agitator on the field that likes to stir the pot and play to the whistle. Translation. He's a punk on the field. Love it! Tired of these clean players that play too nice. Love the woods pick too. Manuel was still a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Great pick. Good coverage guy, gets a lot of picks. Aggressive, loves to hit and blitz. Comes from a top program too. So far, so good on this draft as far as strategy goes. Definitely executing a plan to address our needs with good players and good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkgobills Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Looks like he can cover TEs named Gronkowski and Hernandez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I think I'd have preferred TE Gavin Escobar who went with the next pick, but this guy is supposed to be a very good athlete with the ability to cover TEs down the field. With his off-field problems, I am sure they did their homework. He is supposed to have a big passion for the game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleaMoulds80 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Likes to stir the pot and is punk like me. Love this pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) I bet they told Pettine he was allowed one pick on the second day. I love the speed kiko plays at. Does anyone know if he's completely sober now? Edited April 27, 2013 by NickelCity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Keiko Alonzo yet other higher rated guys on the board looks like a panic and a reach. Hope we get a TEin the third "Panic" and "reach?" You're funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
