Astrobot Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 these guys left on it. Which one do you pick and why? (names are from DraftGurus.com mock draft) Assume you've made the TH for LJ Shelton trade. You are on the clock. Ernest Shazor* S, Michigan Chris Henry* WR, West Virginia Barrett Ruud LB, Nebraska Mike Patterson DT, USC Bill Swancutt DE, Oregon State Eric Green* CB, Virginia Tech Roscoe Parrish* WR, Miami Kevin Burnett LB, Tennessee Jason Campbell QB, Auburn Fred Gibson WR, Georgia Josh Bullocks* S, Nebraska David Baas C, Michigan I'd be tempted to take Baas. I'd have some options for Teague, Price, Tucker and company. My second choice would be Patterson. He was pretty dominant in the Nat Championship and needed 2 on 1 the whole game. If PW is history, I think Patterson would make me forget him pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 EASILY David Baas. He'd be a huge upgrade to our offensive-line. That and I think a player like Roscoe Parrish (who I really like) will still be around by the 3rd round considering how well some of the other WRs have done at the Combine.

stevestojan Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 With no TE in this scenario, I'd take Baas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigdaddyinOrlando Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I would go with Baas but would be very tempted with either of the LB's fearing that our luck without any major time missed may be running out at that spot. In addition Fletchers' contract is up soon and could always use someone to pressusre Posey and spell TKO! JMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 If I'm TD and Nugent is available & not on my board I'm going to b*tch slap Modrak and any scout within reach. Then I'm going to override my board and pick the guy who can win me the Super Bowl with one kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorom Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Baas is the man. Baas plays with a mean streak. However I fully expect Baas to be long gone before the Bills step up to the podium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khlax3 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I would go with baas but he likely wont be available my next choice is Chris Henry. I am from rochester but go to WVU Henry would be a mid first round pick if it wasnt for his attitude he would give JP a big target to throw to and he also posses speed. I beleive his attitude will change once he gets to the NFL and he will be an excellent WR. Moulds, Evans, and Henry would be a great WR group.

Hull, Kent67 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 1. Baas 2.Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 It would be a pretty easy choice for me. Baas is a relatively safe pick at a position of need who should, at the least, become an above average OG starter. If he's gone, its a lot tougher. Kevin Burnett would probably be my number two choice, but I'd also be very tempted to select Chris Henry. Henry is one of those players who will probably be either great or terrible and nothing in between, but late in R2 is a place where you can afford to take a risk on a boom-or-bust prospect. Eric Green would also be an option, though I think we're OK at CB for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zona Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I agree with you. Either Baas or Patterson. We need help on the offensive side more than the defense, so i would lean toward Baas. Especially if I thought that Edwards and the Anderson could fill PW's shoes at DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losman-McGahee-Evans Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 1. Kevin Burnett LB, Tennessee : If this guy falls I take him. He's a talent at LB that was converted from S. He's a scary prospect who has had a pretty rapid learning curve at Tennessee with great size and 4.6 speed. 2. Josh Bullocks* FS, Nebraska : I just love this guy but if drafted he should start because he's that good. Had 10 interceptions as a Sophmore. 3. Eric Green* CB, Virginia Tech : I really like this guy and I'd grab him if both Henry and McFadden are gone. He could start from day one and give us perhaps the best CB tandem in our conference. 6-0 with 4.43 speed. 4. Chris Henry* WR, West Virginia : A 6-4 200 but I haven't scene is 40 time. If its below 4.5 you could make me happy with this pick. The only thing that I worry about is he is a bit thin but he's been durable. 5. Ernest Shazor* SS, Michigan : I like this kid alot but haven't seen his 40 time from the combine. Great size though (6-3 225). If he had a strong (4.45-4.50) I think he would be a strong pick Henry was off the board. 6. Barrett Ruud MLB, Nebraska : I would strongly consider him as he could allow us to part ways with London Fletcher and could be an upgrade as Fletch at some point must begin aging. I'd have to his 40 time from the combine though. 7. David Baas C/G, Michigan : I like him but I believe with a first year starter at QB we must fix the OL through FA and not the draft because it's that important. 8. Fred Gibson WR, Georgia : 6-4 195 WR who I believe ran a 4.5. He's a soft player and was inconsistent in college. Not a fan. 9. Bill Swancutt DE, Oregon State : Has the size but not the speed to be a RDE which is what we need. Pass. 10. Roscoe Parrish* WR, Miami : I'm not a fan of smurf-Santana-Moss-type WRs. 11. Jason Campbell QB, Auburn : For some reason I think this guy is going to a great QB but not for the Bills. 12. Mike Patterson DT, USC : I pass on DT that are under 6-3 and this guy is 5-11. I know all the Warren Sapp arguments but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP-era Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 these guys left on it. Which one do you pick and why? (names are from DraftGurus.com mock draft) Assume you've made the TH for LJ Shelton trade. You are on the clock. Ernest Shazor* S, Michigan Chris Henry* WR, West Virginia Barrett Ruud LB, Nebraska Mike Patterson DT, USC Bill Swancutt DE, Oregon State Eric Green* CB, Virginia Tech Roscoe Parrish* WR, Miami Kevin Burnett LB, Tennessee Jason Campbell QB, Auburn Fred Gibson WR, Georgia Josh Bullocks* S, Nebraska David Baas C, Michigan I'd be tempted to take Baas. I'd have some options for Teague, Price, Tucker and company. My second choice would be Patterson. He was pretty dominant in the Nat Championship and needed 2 on 1 the whole game. If PW is history, I think Patterson would make me forget him pretty quick. 256156[/snapback] quote] Agreed, Easily David Baas. You put guys in there that arent worth that high of a pick. Gibson, Parrish, Swancutt I like but should go later. Shazer would be a great grab at this spot for another team. Henry looks to go right around here but isnt my top WR in the 2nd (thats Mathis). You left out Nugent, he may have dropped into the 3rd with his long kick problems in the combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Baas first. But then, Jason Campbell - sounds crazy, but he'd be a great "insurance" policy and he'll also bring trade value later on (if he doesn't start outright!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If PW is history, I think Patterson would make me forget him pretty quick. 256156[/snapback] Given the options, here's my top 3: 1. Baas The interior OL needs an upgrade and he's one of the best interior OL available in the entire draft. 2. Shazor Fantastic athlete who is very aggressive. Our secondary could really use him. 3. Burnett Great athlete who is solid as a coverage 'backer as well as a solid pursuit player. Has some injury concerns, but seems to be fully recovered. He could become a very good NFL linebacker.

bills_fan Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 If we did not sign a FA G (which I think we will) then Baas. If my asumption is correct I'd take Patterson. He has the potential to be dominant and is a winner. The great OU line could do nothing to him in the title game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsNYC Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 So we'd have a Baas and a Sam Adams on our team? We should rename ourselves the Buffalo Beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW_BillsFan Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I still think the best player for us would be Nugent... This would solidify our Special teams for many, many years. If nug isn't on the board, then Baas or other offensive lineman not listed would be my next choice. Pick up WR from Hampton?, clocked an under 4.3 40 at combine and Sproles for backup to McGahee.
