CJPearl2 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I love DiGiorgio, followed him dating back to high school. But this is a defense predicated on speed, and athleticism, and as much heart as DiGiorgio has, he's very limited in that department. He also doesn't play OLB. Again we would be morons to pass on Conner with Angelo's contract situation. Agree. He is average at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarthur31 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 We don't need him? We had the 31st ranked defense out of 32 teams last year. We need anything and everything. I would rather have a beast at ORG or ORT than another LB. Lynch isn't going to bust thru holes on his good looks alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynBills Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Man, people on this board give Crowell way too much credit. Its not hard to look good when everyone around you is talentless. Potential Pro-Bowler? I can name 20 AFC LBs who would make that team before him. Dan Connor would be great value with our third round pick. For what its worth, Lance Briggs ran 4.74 at the combine. Connor is plenty fast enough for this defense. We would probably have to move up to get. He should be one of the first players off the board, and I could easily see him going to Miami.

Have at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynBills Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 20 AFC LBers that are better then Crowell? Have at it Keith Bullock, Ray Lewis, Mike Peterson, DeMeco Ryans, Kirk Morrison, Adalius Thomas, Shawne Merriman, Bart Scott, James Farrior, Thomas Howard, Derrick Johnson, Shaun Phillips, Gary Brackett, Kamerion Wimbley, David Thornton, James Harrison, DJ Williams, Mike Vrabel, Terrel Suggs, Donnie Edwards. Not to mention these younger LBs who have more talent than Crowell and will probably progress into better LBs this season: Paul Posluzny, David Harris, D'Qwell Jackson, Lawrence Timmons, Keith Rivers, Channing Crowder. Maybe you could say that Crowell is on par with players like David Thornton, Donnie Edwards, or James Farrior, but he is certainly not better than them. And he is definitely not better than those other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Based on the picks today, Dan Conner is not a first round talent according to each of the GMs in the league. Right now, he is a third or fourth round talent. Having said that, if the Bills have him as the BPA when we pick, I would have no problem with the pick. I also like AC.

SABURZFAN Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 A guy named DiGiorgio plays pretty good. And no it's not delivery... he's nothing more than a backup though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Connor's big problem is that players are picking up an extra yard or two after contact- has to build up his lower body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
