BobbyC81 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 among the Top 10 picks. Robinson will have to make a quick change if the Bills sign Pickett. 8. Buffalo Bills – Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon. Larry Tripplett was a nice pickup in free agency, but he'll need to work next to a rock to be most effective. Ngata fits the bill perfectly as the replacement for Sam Adams. This might be the most absolute lock among the top-10 picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Ngata is pretty much a no-brainer for us assuming he's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Haloti Ngata DT 6’5 338 Oregon Jr. By: Robert Davis Haloti Ngata has always been one of the most imposing figures you’ll see on a football field. He was widely regarded as one of the top five players in the entire country coming out of high school. He gave glimpses of his talent as a freshman, but missed the entire following year due to a knee injury. Ngata didn’t regain his previous form until halfway through last year at Oregon. As a junior this past season, Ngata notched 61 tackles, nine for loss, and three sacks, despite constant double and triple teams. You cannot dream up a more physically gifted defensive tackle. Ngata is absolutely massive and is immovable from the interior line. He combines his bulk with amazing physical strength. Along with his great size and strength, he has impressive athleticism and agility. Moving up the field, he shows the ability to change direction well and has the closing speed to finish off plays. Oregon even drops him into coverage from his tackle spot. That is unheard of for a 340lber. He must be accounted for at all times. Teams routinely double and triple team him to neutralize his impact. ngata Ngata has gotten a ton of hype because of his physical gifts, but he still needs some more consistency on the field. At times, he thinks his raw strength is enough to dominate, and that will not work at the next level. He injured his knee in 2003, and even though he appears to be back at full strength, it will be something that is looked into. On his talent alone, Ngata is going to be a high draft pick. Teams will drool over his physical ability in workouts. He is one of the elite defensive players in this draft, and could go in the Top eight of this years draft. it has been awhile since his injury and he seems to have recovered. There is something about a 340 lb guy who can drop back into coverage that puts the fear of God into me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasker Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Ngata is pretty much a no-brainer for us assuming he's available. 630802[/snapback] Nope. Ngata is a no-brainer for us if he is available, is the best player available, and addresses our needs. I think he will be available (but hope he won't), but highly doubt he will be the best player available, and if we sign Pickett he will not be a need, meaning we can take the best player available out of who is still left, which still depends on how the top 7 picks go.
