molson_golden2002 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Overall: Ellis was redshirted in 2003. In his next three seasons (2004-'06), he appeared in 38 games (21 starts) and registered 112 tackles (27 for losses) and 13.5 sacks. As a senior in 2007, he started all 14 games and posted 53 tackles (nine for losses), 8.5 sacks, a forced fumble, an interception (which he returned five yards for a touchdown) and five pass breakups. Ellis sat out 2007 spring drills after having surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He had the same surgery in October of his redshirt freshman year ('03). He also suffered a right shoulder sprain in 2006 but played through the injury. In 2006, he was arrested for disorderly conduct and obstruction of justice. Ellis' injury history and problems anchoring against the run make him a fringe first day pick but he's got the frame to add some weight and get stronger ...

Ramius Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 LOVE IT! Hardy and Ellis make up for the McKelvin disaster. Are you trying to embarrass yourself as much as possible over this weekend? Because you are doing a hell of a good job acting like a 14 year old girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Where are all the "we already have Schobel, Kelsey, and Denney" people? Why aren't you all wringing your hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike formerly from Florida Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Apparently he has a "low motor" and is a durability issue with a wrist problem or something. Sure as hell didn't show it in what I've seen with him, I agree with the pick. Mel just said he played well after the shoulder injury in 06. He should be part of a rotation and helps the pass rush. This kid should have asome impact right away in the rotation. Lets get our center!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Success on the D line means having depth, which the Bills do not have. This was a smart pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid should have asome impact right away in the rotation. Lets get our center!!! Looks like a solid pick that should help the pass rush. Round 4 will be TE and Center. I am liking this draft so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Well we probably will later on. The value isn't here. And may be the Shockey trade is still in the works ??? May be for a next years pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Knew it was something upper body, thanks for the clear up He should be a nice asset for us. Especially in anyone goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike formerly from Florida Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 No - I'm not going to insult you. Just because you don't agree with a pick does not make it a disaster. The guy is a top rated player. Not your favorite but certainly not a disaster. Good--thank you. I tend to exaggerate. You're right, it's not a disaster--especially if we fill our needs with real value the rest of the way. When people respond rationally, I will show immense respect from here on. When they insult, I go to the other extreme. Do you like this pick?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRT88 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I like the pick, he fits and need and has some talent. We need to coach this kid up and get his effort level to be more consistent but everyone at this stage has some flaws. Seemed like a good value pick.

Honestly, after the 1st 2 rounds I don't know the players. I don't follow college like I used to. I do know that the positions I wanted targeted were WR, CB, DE and LB. I really wanted Rivers but he was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdubs Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I dunno, i just feel that a 3rd round pick is kinda high for a guy who's not even going to play the majority of snaps when we threw so much money at Schobel and Kelsay. Granted, in the tampa 2 you need a good rotation but still. i would think your rds. 1-3 would be your potential starters. But on the other hand, I'll be happy if he makes an impact and helps the team. He could be great on special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Wheels Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 From NFL.com: "Ellis is an inconsistent player, who looked great at times. He lacks discipline and had untimely penalties in college, but he has ability and good size. He had 22 sacks and 36 tackles for loss in college and is fast enough to play on special teams." Doesn't sound like a good choice to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of how much money they make, if they continue to fail to produce a pass rush, competition must be brought in. We can't just continue with an anemic pass rush because we gave these guys decent contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you are doing a hell of a good job acting like a 14 year old girl. I don't recall posting specifically to you. Why you feel the need to respond to me, I don't know. But I do have a suggestion for you--take a few valium and dive into the deep end of the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
