bills_red Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 At this point, based on the answers I've heard so far and the talent available at each position, I'm tempted to go with this for the initial mock draft. QB- (Thin Tebow, Colt McCoy, Dan LeFevour) OLB-(Think George Selvie, Eric Norwood, Sean Lee) OT-(Think Matt Reynolds, Gabe Carimi) Thanks. We'll do this once every 3 weeks or so. Check in at www.DraftTek.com later in the week to see what the computer selects for each team based on these positional needs assessments and our Big Board, which is based on 4 or 5 different websites and several draftniks. Astro Hell no. I wouldn't take them untill R3 at best. What about Jimmy C. or Tony Pike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote your very wrong.. your going down the losman and Edwards path if your takin a QB in round 3..We need to take a QB 1st. We need somone that was proven in college.. Not Tony Pike who plays against lousy teams at cincy.. Every Bills fan should be thinking QB 1st round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew in CA Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 your very wrong.. your going down the losman and Edwards path if your takin a QB in round 3..We need to take a QB 1st. We need somone that was proven in college.. Not Tony Pike who plays against lousy teams at cincy.. Every Bills fan should be thinking QB 1st round JP was a first round draft pick. I reiterate, the OLine needs to be solidified before we go drafting first-round QB's again. And relying on a proven college guy does not always work. Quinn, Leinart, Leaf, Harrington. All considered "proven" in college. Look at the list of Round 1 QBs from the last decade or two- it's a gamble. Throwing a guy behind a suspect line isn't the way to groom him to stardom.

But wouldn't you rather take a chance on one of these proven guys than the non ones that the bill FO seem to draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew in CA Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Sorry I meant to say Just Edwards.. But wouldn't you rather take a chance on one of these proven guys than the non ones that the bill FO seem to draft? I'm not sure of the exact date this front office came into power, but let's take it all the way back to Todd Collins in Round 2, 1995. Since then, the Bills have drafted exactly 2 QB's, JP in Round 1, Trent in Round 3. I think you are unfairly characterizing the FO as drafting low round QBs and expecting them to be starters. Trent is the only example of this, and it can be argued that he was drafted to be a backup. Look, I would love to see a guy like Bradford come into Buffalo and tear the league up. My point is that it doesn't matter what QB they draft, it will be exceedingly difficult to succeed in this league when the OLine is as suspect as the Bills' is right now. If you have a solid OLine, it can do wonders for even run-of the mill QB's. It seems to me that if the FO is guilty of anything in the last few years, it's neglecting OLine prospects in the first few rounds (until this year, of course). Once they bring in a complete line, then you go and get your QB. At least, I believe that would be the most successful route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew in CA Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 If you consider Flacco a "proven guy" coming out of college, I think we are not on the same page. The kid went to Delaware. How can that be considered proven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofton80 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Agree completely. Stoud is not young and and Williams could use a rest. I see no more cover 2 with light guys in our future. See NY Jets for model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Wolf Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 OL, DL, or LB. Anything else would be foolish. I am not completely sold on Trent, but I have no reason to believe any QB in this draft would be a better option than keeping him and improving the team around him. He played very well in the first 2 games and was running for his life this Sunday. Any QB would have struggled behind a line that got owned as badly as his did. Oh, and the idea of drafting Tebow in the 1st round is ABSURD. He is not an elite NFL QB prospect and I would not be surprised at all to see a position switch in his future. I know a lot of people think otherwise and I could be proven wrong, but that is how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
