WVUFootball29 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 NFL Network reporting that Adrian Peterson had his pro day today. Did any of the Bills brass attend his pro-day ? Doesnt say who all did, but there were 15-17 teams represented there. Tom Rathman the Oakland RB coach and Phil Savage from Cleveland both spent quite a bit of time with AP from what I've read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 The reports are that his performance solidified his top 5 standing. ESPN said that the Browns once again will likely take him. I can't remember if it was their GM who attended but they said they were VERY IMPRESSED. Looks like no Peterson for us. OH WELL! I've been saying the Bills don't need a 1st round RB. It needs to be a DT of LB. My vote is Patrick Willis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Browns want to convince other teams they are going to take him despite signing Lewis so that they can arrange a trade down with someone who really wants Peterson?

OGTEleven Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Maybe the Browns want to convince other teams they are going to take him despite signing Lewis so that they can arrange a trade down with someone who really wants Peterson? As much as I'd like it, I doubt it. They signed Lewis for 1 year. There is no way he is the answer for them long term anyway. He's too old for a young team. They are trying to build and need a long term option. Maybe if Quinn is still there he makes sense. 12 is a pipe dream. I don't think trading up makes sense for us unless he lasts until at least 8.

Nanker Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 It would be a terrible thing for this team if The Bills got Peterson. Make that, one of the worst possible things that could happen. Deluca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky finger Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I don't think the Browns take AP. This is a smokescreen. Their RB of the future comes from the top of round #2. Brady Quinn is their guy, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoondckCL Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 A lot of people agree with you, but have you ever seen Jason Campbell play? The kid is very good, and I can't see why they would want to go after a QB that early given their other needs. Isn't Jason Campbell the qb from Auburn a few years ago?

BoondckCL Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Yes he is. I saw him play a couple of times last season and he is going to be a good one imo. I thought he played for the Redskins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Jason Campbell plays for the Redskins. Lang Cambell is not their long term answer. Thanks for that. My mistake. I was thinking of Charlie Frye. He is the kid I watched last season, and he looked good while playing for such a poor team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But consider this.....Brady Quinn could be an NFL starter for years to come...You get the Franchise QB this year and ride it with Jamal Lewis. You get your running back in the next years draft.

Brady Quinn is their guy, IMO. The Browns will take Peterson, he is the player that would most help them immediately. Crennel will be in trouble if they have another horrible season. If he drafts Quinn he is simply helping his successor as HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
