John Adams Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 The Bills filled a position of desparate need. Ngata and Bunkley both had question marks--Triplett helps fill the D-line hole. Whitner does not have question marks--he's a fast strong hard-hitting safety who will maul on special teams. The Ravens would have nabbed him at 12, so taking him at 8 might not have been so bad. If the Bills had an offer from Detriot, AZ, or St. Luois, then they could have risked the trade, but it sounds like they got one of the only impact players (for them) available at that pick.

MDH Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 The Bills filled a position of desparate need. 674855[/snapback] Why was that a position of desperate need? Oh, because Marv cut the starter. Milloy wasn't great but with him back there (healthy) SS is not a desperate need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsSouth Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 That doesn't make any sense. They all ready have an All-World safety. 674853[/snapback] Baltimore wanted Ngata all along - so they made Buffalo pick Whitner believing he wouldn´t be there at 15. By deceiving Buffalo, they assured their man would be there when they picked, although they needed to trade with Cleveland to be sure of that. If Baltimore didn´t want Ngata so badly, would they have traded up? Think a little... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounded SHARP. Yeah, like everyone else, I wished we could trade down and get another pick but I'm feeling a lot better about the pick now. I think the Bills were targetting this guy all along.

John Adams Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 So what should the Bills have done? Draft a 2 down Ngata or Bunkley? Get a grip. The Bills need guys who can play EVERY down. Whitner will. Right now. And he'll play special teams. And he doesn't have Bunkley's baggage. It's a good pick. Just not a sexy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball'n Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 The Ravens wanted Whittner. But Buffalo took him so their #2 was Ngata maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they'll rotate DTs but Bunkley can play on any down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
