Re: Most recent Fox mock has us taking Levi Brown
See in this case, especially given how pathetic the Bills OL has been for the better part of the decade, I dont see how anybody could complain if we took Levi Brown.
Pennington did do a decent job during the second half of the seaeson. But decent compared to what? Compared to what we've had on the line? Then the answer is yes. But is Pennington a sure-fire long-term starting quality RT in the NFL?
I think Levy will be EXTREMELY committed to the OL. I think the team will resign Gandy and whether they are thrifty or not come FA, one spot where I KNOW they will spend some cash will be at right guard.
Now I"ve seen Levi Brown play and from what I've read, he's often compared to another Levi.. Levi Jones.
Personally, if what scouts say is true about him, I'd like the pick. If nothing else then, Pennington provides quality depth, as a 7th round pick should do... If we drafted Brown and say Levy does go out and get a Dielman, our offensive line would be a hell of a lot improved, and that's been by FAR our biggest long term weakness.
Jarrett (WR) is a possibility, just don't see Marv doing that. Our other WR's (outside Evans) could use an upgrade of course, but Levy just paid handsome signing bonuses to Price and Reed, and we still have Parrish. I'm not saying WR won't be addressed at all, but I dont think it will be with the #12th pick.
Lynch will be on the board too, just don't see Marv doing this either, though this I think would be a great draft pick.
Okoye could be there too-- but I really think Marv is going to make at least two major moves on the OL this year. Plus, as much as the upside I hear about Okoye, I just find it hard to believe we'd invest back-to-back 1st rounders on DT's, BOTH who play the same "spot".
There are no CB's or LB's IMO worth the #12th pick.
My ULTIMATE goal would be to land Jamaal Anderson, but there is no way at hell he's not gone in the draft between picks 6-9.

Originally posted by RockStar36I don't see a reason to replace the center, but that is just me. I would assume that it would be a big pain in the ass for JP to switch that particular position.
Any upgrades to the line is okay by me. I would love Levi here!!

Re: Most recent Fox mock has us taking Levi Brown
Is Levi Brown an upgrade? Not at tackle, at least. Peters is unquestionably the starting LT, and Pennington did pretty well. Why the rush to replace them when our guards are so inadequate? The line is only as strong as its weakest link, and Pennington is simply NOT the weakest link. Hell, he might turn out being the 2nd strongest link...he may already be. Furthermore, Brown probably isn't even worth the 12th pick, but that's minor. There're a lot of players I'd rather see in a Bills uni than Levi Brown..Good riddance Fairchild. Of course, the knowledge of your departure will only make TE more hateable than the typical Bills QB. Good luck, hope we don't mess you up like JP.

"Pretty Well" is why our OL has sucked balls for years.
I agree about guard, and I think it will be addressed via fA.
I'd like to give Pennington the benefit of the doubt, but Marv and Co. have a much better read on what he's capable of than I do. If they draft Levi Brown, I'll be happy.Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

We could do a lot worse than Levi Brown thats a pretty safe pick.I'm your huckleberry.

Re: Most recent Fox mock has us taking Levi Brown
I agree about the Marv part.
I trust Marv enough to believe if he was to take Brown that he is CLEARLY a lot more talented than Pennington and it would improve the line more than with Pennington at RT.
I always trust marv, unless I dont like a move he makes.. Then I call him senile

No need for a OT at all if you consider Butler adequate for a backup. So, a OT in the 1st would then make little sense.
