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.

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...

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...

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...

He's only a Junior and he has 17 freaking picks. I dont give a !@#$ if he had 40 picks. We're fairly deep at CB and are terribly thin at TE, LB, and still even D-line.

Mickey Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 He is smart and tough, great cover 2 corner, not a blazer.. hope the apple fell close to the tree...Hard hitters and is a gym rat. I hate the "gym rat" cliche, right up there with "high motor" and "lunch pail". What if he didn't leave the gym because he never studied for his classes or was too stupid to absorb the system in the allotted practice time? Who is the better player, the guy who gets it right after an hour of practice or the guy that gets it right an hour after practice? Sorry, this pick has soured my normally sunny disposition.

Virgil Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 If the Bills plan on playing him at Safety, then fine. I'll deal cause the guy seems to have a good eye for the ball. Plus, maybe there is a reason that Everette Brown fell as far as he did. I would have liked a Center here, but eh. Now, if this seriously is meant to be a CB pick. !@#$ you Russ and !@#$ you Dick Jauron. You are completely !@#$ing retarded. I want to punch you both in the face as hard as I can.
