Now that FA has begun what do we do at 12???

[bigbub2352]

Now that we signed these lineman, and have alot of depth on the Oline, and Dline, at least DE, the postions are narrowing down to what the Bills should take at 12

If Mcgahee is traded do u go RB

If Spikes is traded do u go LB

if both are traded for draft picks, then what postion do u let slide and take with your first day value picks


I personally think we go CB, DT, or LB depending on who falls and who is available

i think with our two outstanding Safties less demand should be a CB, also Youboty, and Greer soften the blow alittle as per depth and potential

if Branch or Okoye fall it is no brainer to take one
but if they dont i feel the must need is a LB and if Willis is there we can take him
Or we can trade out hope he falls and take best player available, at RB or LB, or CB
In my opionion these signings have left the Bills in a great postion at 12
Lets hope Marv and OBD can take advatage of it.!!

If Okoye is there at 12, I think we take him.

If not, we go LB.

I doubt we grab a DT with our first pick since we still have MCcargo and Kyle Williams . Marv didn't grab a qb because he didn't know what we had in JP and I think he will do the same in the DT position.

I also doubt a cb because the cover 2 does not require a great cb.

If he does go after a lb'er in FA, I would think he would draft more weapons for JP. Either a rb or wr. Otherwise a lb'er is not out of the question.

Leon Hall.

I still think its LB. Crowell/Spikes/Ellison is not enough heading into camp. The LB position is vitally important in the cover 2. Willis or trade down and get Timmons.

Re: Now that FA has begun what do we do at 12???

I am torn between an offensive weapon and a D starter
I would like them to go CB, or LB but from what i read it is a reahc for us to go with one at 12, but so was Whitner so it really is a toss up

if a stud WR or RB is left at 12 and we got rid of McGahee we can go for rb too
it will be interesting

Marv mentioned attacking Middle Linebacker and we don't have that - even if Crowell moves to the position. He likely has his sights set on Patrick Willis!!!

The better the D-Line the better the LB's (just like the O-line improving the RB, QB, TE's and WR's). I would take Okoye in a heart beat, makes the LB's and DB's better, plus since he is young and still growing he could cover either DT position.

Given the number of holes we are still going to have to fill - The Answer believes in this case we either go the 'best player available' route, or we trade down and acquire more draft picks.

Key here is avoiding another McCargo type of scenario - can't afford to squander draft picks for players that aren't worth it.

How have you determined McCargo is not worth it after 5 games?

He wasn't worth the 2nd rounder we had to give up to take him. We could have stood pat and let him fall into our laps in the 2nd round.

Not saying McCargo is a bust yet - but he has shown bust tendencies in year one - missing more than half the season isn't a good thing as a rookie.

McCargo had a second round grade.

Listening to his press conferene I thought two things:

1. The Bills would concentrate on the O-line in FA. They would spend money on one-two guys.
2. They would address LB in the draft.

I see either Siler or Willis in a Bills unifrom.

Except the Giants very likely would have taken him at the end of the 1st.

Re: Now that FA has begun what do we do at 12???

McCargo had a second round grade.

The Answer had him graded as a 3rd/4th round pick on his board - McCargo has some talent, but he's either another Tim Anderson, or a serviceable player - 2007 should be a good barometer of that.
