Bill from NYC Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 The Cincinnati Enquirer published an interview with Oher a month or so ago. He's not very bright. Cincy, did you know about this? The kid had an awful life. I am thinking that he must be a hard worker to get this far, and I am rooting for this kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Oher has one hell of story... The Ballad of Big Mike More on Big Mike (doh!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Oher I don't think he'll be a bust. That said, I voted for Maybin.

scribo Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Further, I wouldn't say drafting Oher at #11 is a reach since Mike Mayock has him going at #9 to the Packers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 So its only ok to "reach" for an OL? Could have had a similar G prospect in round 2 with robinson or levitre and gotten some defensive front 7 help at #11. Are you arguing w/ BGIM or myself? I don't mind the Oher pick (it's not a "WTF??" type move). I just want the Bills to finally "get it" in regard to the pass rush. In this mock, the pickings are going to be quite slim in the upcoming 2 rounds for guys who can put heat on the QB. Looks like the Bills will be looking @ more ominous 3rd downs next season. Maybe, w/ the $$ they'd save by not giving Peters a huge contract, they could overspend on some injured has been (Taylor) to bring the heat.

scribo Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I agree, Rich, address the pass rush now. Just more reason the Bills need to pay Peters. Of course, don't do so before the draft so they can keep other teams guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In space no one can hear Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 12:31 – 12:45 Buffalo - Michael Oher, OT, Mississippi That's what the group think of TBD comes up with for the Bills pick? WTF??? Consider me underwhelmed. TBD has begun to mirror the "inner circle" of the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would seem. WTF??? And after I went out of my way to say this wasn't a "WTF??" type pick, too. Sigh. Consider me underwhelmed. And undervoted. TBD has begun to mirror the "inner circle" of the Bills. Has begun to???? Hey, I tried to stress the need for a pass rusher. Didn't work.

stuckincincy Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 DT Jerry is a solid pick for HOU, BillsFanInTexas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has begun to???? Hey, I tried to stress the need for a pass rusher. Didn't work. Agreed, I'm all about the pass rush. I like Maybin and Brown. Though, I would much prefer Brown. With Maybin being the one available in this "mock" I would have taken him. We have needed a quick twitch pass rusher for oh, so many years- hate to pass one up for a not so bright boom or bust o-lineman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, w/ the $$ they'd save by not giving Peters a huge contract, they could overspend on some injured has been (Taylor) to bring the heat. If we trade Peters, then taking Oher at #11 wouldn't be too bad. However, i was basing the pick off today, where we have Peters still as our LT. Given the drop off in pass rushers from 11 to 42, and comparing it to the relative abundance of OG or OT that should be available at 42, it would be highly foolish to ignore the pass rush when there are legit options at #11. Hell, even an OLB who can be a playmaker and get to the QB would be an improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I know. All the "inner circle" ever does is draft first round blockers. If we take Oher, Pettigrew, Mack, and Loadholt - all in this year's draft - you will be pleased, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 If we take Oher, Pettigrew, Mack, and Loadholt - all in this year's draft - you will be pleased, no? Not that such a scenario is likely, but I know that opposing QBs would continue to be pleased if such were the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
