Mike in Syracuse Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 What I love about this thread is that 80% of the people saying the love/hate the pick probably haven't seen Orakpo or Maybin play a single down. OMG ORAKPO WAS ON MEL'S BOARD>>>>>WE DIDN'T PICK HIM WE SUCK....who'd he play for again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max997 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 the Bills clearly pinpointed Maybin and didnt even consider another player even though there were players there that were supposed to be gone I hate this pick, the guy is under 250 lbs, only had one good year and Penn St d-lineman do not have a good history of performing in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Maybin is said to have the quickest first step of all the other players. He can also play OLB. This is our best pick. He's a smart kid, blue-collar, and can do what the Texas kid couldn't. Also, we have the tv coverage we never get. I love this pick. However, the next two picks are really going to put this in perspective. Agree. Super quick. Orakpo's injury-plagued career vs Maybin's short career. Maybin won. And he's not Crabtree.

1billsfan Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I was a Maybin hater till I saw his combine video. The guy is freakishly quick and I think we'll be very happy after he's had a year to fill out his tall frame. I actually like it! Orakpo is the guy who will get eaten alive at the next level. Too short. I'd rather have the tall rangy guy who can make OTs block air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 GUYS! we just addressed the D-line, the trenches, with the best pass rusher available. lets see what else we can do along the lines today. got 2 picks left. so far, so good. A 250 pounder in the trenches??? Belichick is quaking in his shoes over that pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Cat Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Maybin is listed as 31st best player in USA Today, per nfldraftscout.com He's listed as the 12th best player by Gosseln (a real source) and the second best DE after Jackson. I LOVE IT! Gosselin so far: 1. Aaron Curry LB Wake Forest(4) 2. Michael Crabtree WR Texas Tech10 3. Jason Smith OT Baylor(2) 4. Matthew Stafford QB Georgia(1) 5. Jeremy Maclin WR Missouri 6. Tyson Jackson DE LSU(3) 7. Mark Sanchez QB Southern California(5) 8. Eugene Monroe OT Virginia(8) 9. B.J. Raji DT Boston College(9) 10. Malcolm Jenkins CB Ohio State 11. Andre Smith OT Alabama(6) 12. Aaron Maybin DE Penn State11 F-CK YEAH! 13. Vontae Davis CB Illinois 14. Brian Orakpo DE Texas 15. Michael Oher OT Mississippi 16. Knowshon Moreno HB Georgia12 17. Josh Freeman QB Kansas State 18. Percy Harvin WR Florida 19. Beanie Wells HB Ohio State 20. Brian Cushing OLB Southern California 21. Darrius Heyward-Bey WR Maryland(7) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I like the pick. Super quick pass rusher, a excellent production in the one year he played. No injury issues. The Bills need a guy who can get 10 sacks. He appears as if he can. Now OLB at 28 or 42! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Guy on the Bench Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Love it. He's the only one with the athleticism to have a chance at being a special player. Rak is strong, but lumbering, and I think NFL tackles will eat him up. Maybin may take some time to develop, but he's a good roll of the dice. And he's not a one-year wonder. A guy that did nothing during his career and then had a great senior year is a one-year wonder. A guy who puts up the numbers Maybin did (in the way he did) early in his college career is a POTENTIAL a-list player. DE is the worst position to try to figure out in the first round, but I like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'm tired with how negative you guys are. Maybin is a sick DE I like Maybin... I think the guy is only 20 yrs old and yet he had 12 sacks last year.. Also, Buffalorumblings reported: "We're hearing that they'll be working the phones to try to move up... so stay tuned."

Beerball Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 super quicks. that's the reason why we just drafted him. bringing the pressure Great.

MRM33064 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I have no clue how any of these players will pan out, but I seem to be asking myself the same question year after year with the Bills. We seem to grab guys well ahead of the consensus of where they "should" go, implying that we could've moved down and received the same pick + some other value.

ndirish1978 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 We needed to rush the passer and we got the best pass rusher in the draft. Orakpo is a typical Texas guy who will flounder in the pros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Did you see how fast the bills made that pick.....this was their guy all along I thank god it was not the fourth best left tackle.....for that I am greatful. We needed pass rush.....we got it. I am just wondering how our DE situation will play out now. Praying for Pettigrou to fall to 28 now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
