tbonehawaii Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Many experts say Vernon Davis is the best TE propect in years. Given that we need a threat besides evans and o line help (a TE is part of teh o line and Davis can apparently block and catch and we have a had a string that could do neither) and this kid has a good chance to drop to us why would we pay good money to have a guy who was not even Washington's best TE? (That would be Chris cooley). I think that passing him up will be viewed in retrospect as extremely foolish. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 This is a two-TE offense. Who says Royal and VD can't be on the field at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I think there's a very good chance the Bills will take Davis if he's there. Royal is for blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destro32 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Is Kevin Everett on the team anymore.... i think so......we need to see what he can offer before we draft another TE @ #8.....??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortured Soul Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I think that this is a very deep TE draft and we can get a very good prospect in the second or third rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I think that this is a very deep TE draft and we can get a very good prospect in the second or third rounds. 641050[/snapback] We have plenty of prospects. I think we'll either take Davis (if he's available, because he's considered to be a RARE talent) or we won't take a TE on day #1. I'm for going with biguns...but, I wouldn't complain if they picked VD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch19079 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 who says royal is going to be a starter? who said that by signing royal we wont sign davis? if davis left on the board with ngata i will be happy with either pick. that said, davis looks to be a beast. if hes there, we need to take a real long look at him. he could be a game changer. i dont see ngata beign a game changer.

apuszczalowski Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 The Bills don't need another project TE, they need a starting/game breaker TE the Davis is being described as. If they don't take Davis at #8, I don't think they take a TE at all in the draft. If its between Ngata and Davis, I say Davis, there are still good DT's later in the draft, and I don't think Ngata is that much better then the rest of them (not saying he isn't good or the best available at his position, just that he is maybe 1 or 2 notches above the others) Davis is hands down, the best TE available in the draft and is one of the BEst players available in the draft at any position, thats why you take him over Ngata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal is for blocking. 641030[/snapback] Yeah sure, then another smurf WR in round 2 and B in round 3.

Amazing how quick we as fans turn from "its the lines stupid" to this skill player is truly exceptional and while i know the lines need work, we can't pass on this game changing skill player. Man, makes my head spin. I've siad it before, I'm die hard Terps fan and I watch almost every game. Davis is very good, but he AIN"T no blocker, at least not yet. Can he become one, most definetly yes! But he ain't there now and we need blockers of any kind!!!!!!!! Now if hes there at 8, i know I 'd be looking at a willing trade partner, cause his stock be mighty high cause of a combine workout(jeez) and I believe some one will overpay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachChuckDickerson Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 This is a two-TE offense. Who says Royal and VD can't be on the field at the same time? 641027[/snapback] No, last year was a 2 TE offense. We have a new coach and coordinator this year. I didn't see the Rams running a lot of 2 TE formations, and we have about 12 WRs on the roster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Buffalo's offence will be a 2 TE offence, one for blocking (Royal) and a receiving TE (Basically another WR in a different position). Davis fits that role really well and if available at 8, would be the best player available regardless of position. TE is still a need for the Bills (not as big as the lines, but there are 7 other picks in a draft deep with lineman) If the Bills don't get Davis, They will probably stick with Everett cause he will be pretty much the same as any other TE from the draft, an unproven rookie looking to be a starter. As for last year being a 2 TE offence, Did we even have any TE's on the field??? I don't remember seeing any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I like the variety of ways he's coached. I'm a big believer in the fact you've got to do it all to win in our league. You've got to be able to throw it creatively but you've got to be able to run it. He's had a background in both." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye Eric Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I would be very surprised if the Bills took a TE in the 8th spot. I would be more surprised if they do not trade the spot if a DL is not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they take him, you're wrong and I look good. if they don't take him, you're right...but, I'm OK, because I never said they WOULD take him...just there is a good chance. But...you're the "Gambler".
