John from Riverside Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I would have thought Terrance Knighton would have been in for a visit by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATeam Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I think it's a good draft class for the position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Very deep draft class at interior DL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Very deep draft class at interior DL no doubt guys....but we only have so many picks. Â We might have to go ILB with that 1st rounder now that Davis signed with Cleveland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) no doubt guys....but we only have so many picks. Â We might have to go ILB with that 1st rounder now that Davis signed with Cleveland i dont think they will take a NT in the first. That's a later pick IMO.

Â We might have to go ILB with that 1st rounder now that Davis signed with Cleveland Bad strategy. Â If they think a stud DT is the BPA at 19 I don't want then to take a lesser talent in FA (Knighton) so they can take a lesser talent in round 1 just based on need. I wouldn't be opposed to Knighton, just don't want it to change the draft strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsmovinup Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Because we'd rather put a DT from a 4-3 whose a double digit sack guy at DT in a 4-3 at nose so he can go from ten sacks to two. It's a brilliant strategy that only the most astute football mind could comprehend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Bad strategy.  If they think a stud DT is the BPA at 19 I don't want then to take a lesser talent in FA (Knighton) so they can take a lesser talent in round 1 just based on need. I wouldn't be opposed to Knighton, just don't want it to change the draft strategy. This is only if you think Knighton is a lesser talent  I actually like him.....he does exactly what he is supposed to do.  I DONT want Marcel playing the nose this year.....that is too much money wrapped up in a player of that caliber to be a run plugger....he needs to slide over to 5 tech  i like Billings as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo1105 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Knighton is only a run stuffer and doesn't offer much in the way of a pass rush. He's also showing his age as teams had a 4.7 yard rush average when he was in the game. He's overrated at this point in his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I'm not sure that they won't sign a NT. Â They very well may be in communication with Knighton, Cam Thomas, etc. Â I also think it's not prudent to spend serious money or a high draft pick on a nose tackle; they are far more easily found than that. Â For example, the guys that look like ideal 0-techs from the draft include the likes of DJ Reader and Vincent Valentine, both of whom will most likely be available on Day 3.

thebandit27 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 If the Bills draft strictly a NT in any of the first 3 rounds it would be an awful pick. Â I'd rather them draft a versatile DLineman who can do the job as a NT in the 3-4 or play DT in 4-3 because I'm not optimistic Rex makes it past the 2016 season. Â Drafting players just for his system would be a disaster. Â Wait...drafting guys that fit the system that the head coach runs would be a disaster? Â That one needs to be explained. Â You don't want to give the guy the pieces he says he needs, and then you're going to condemn him to failure. Â Do you not see the total and complete failure in that line of logic? Â You may not like that he's the head coach--that's fine. To say that the team shouldn't acquire guys that can play his system amounts to the team shooting itself in the foot.

aristocrat Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Nose tackles are a funny position. Wilfork is the last great one I heard going in the first round? Anybody else? Harrison for the giants was undrafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) DJ Reader in the 5th or later. NT is undervalued because many teams don't use them and they are mainly space eaters/run stoppers. He's a good one you can get later and can do the job of freeing up Dareus to rush the passer. IMO. Edited March 16, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I think it's a good draft class for the position Exactly, th Bills do nothing with the position until they see who they get in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
