Alaska Darin Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm sure they project him as a safety but it seems awfully early to pick him. Here's to hoping he's a player and that passing on more highly rated guys (a continuing theme) doesn't come back to bite us for another decade.

DanInSouthBuffalo Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Has an injury history too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 He's a good cover guy. But, the Bills just don't need CB when they have gaping holes in other places. Anybody that doubted that Dick Levy had a serious woody for the DBs can give up that doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Ike Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 How can we pass on Orakpo AND Brown in the second? To take a CB who will be behind MCgee, McCelvin, Florence, Youboty, and Corner? That makes him what, SIXTH on the depth chart! We need one more OL, a DL, TE, and a LB. I cant belive we took Maybin, now this. 1/3 aint too bad for the first 3 picks I guess. this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 !@#$ Brandon, !@#$ Modrak, !@#$ Jauron, !@#$ Fewell, and !@#$ whoever the !@#$ scouted this !@#$. Never saw it coming. Who would have thought that a team brilliant enough to pull off the Peters trade would eff up the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 How can we pass on Orakpo AND Brown in the second? Orakpo was easy. He was long gone in the top half of the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_believer Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 What is it with cornerbacks? I guess this means they are going to let Terrence McGee walk next year. There were some good players that would have fit a need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB...p;ATCLID=175543 And we're off. At least they waited until the second round this time, I guess ... Yeah, but at least you had to wait a full round (2 previous picks) this year..

Last Guy on the Bench Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Pro Football Weekly has him rated 2nd at CB behind Jenkins: "Could bring great value as a short-area, press-zone corner, but is tough, smart and athletic enough to project to safety and could eventually develop into a ballhawk on the back end. Intriguing versatility and pedigree add to his value. He should develop into a solid No. 2 corner or potential free safety and could bring additional value as a returner." He's only a Junior and he has 17 freaking picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaser Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 He projects to a safety -- and it's a definite need. Glad they addressed the position - Whitner has not performed at the necessary level for a starting safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanuts Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 He'll replace McGee next year... this is my guess too. They are being cheap again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only a Junior and he has 17 freaking picks. Yep, he looks like a free safety guy. Sturdy build, good route recognition skills and a ball hawk. Don't know if this is the right value at #42 but I like the pick if he lines up next to Whitner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
