My best guess at what the Bills do at #12

[Nighthawk]

Until today, I truly believed the Bills would pass on Lynch in the 1st, but after reading Jauron's comments in the Buffalo News...I'm not so sure. He stated that the offense needs to do more to keep the defense off the field and score more points and that would be how the defense gets better. Well, those comments make me believe we draft Lynch at #12 or Peterson if he somehow falls to us. This will make our offense much more productive and use that OL talent to it's fullest potential. Then we pick up a LB in round 2 because their is more depth at the LB position in the draft than their is at the RB position. I guess we will see.

I agree. No way Peterson falls to 12, and if it comes down to Willis vs. Lynch, I'm thinking Lynch and go LB in the second and probably with one of the two third round picks too. I like Willis and what he could do for the D, but these team does desperately need a quality RB whom can not only make big plays, but also move the chains. With or without Willis, the D is still going to be suspect, and keeping the offense on the field will help the Bills in 2007.

I agree about Peterson, but it sure would be nice!

night.. what are you talking about in regards to what DJ said today?

Here is the article and here is a the piece about the offense.

http://www.buffalonews.com/111/story/41601.html

“Offensively we need to run the ball better, we need to score more points and we need to keep our defense off the field. Even if our defense is playing great, we still have to do that on offense. But if we’re developing a little slower on defense, then we’ll really need our offense to be productive, and our special teams can’t take a step back. There’s a lot of pressure on everybody.”

That seemed to me like they are intent on improving the offense to improve the defense. Not saying it will happen, but it sure sounded that way.

Since the McGahee trade, I figured there's a better than even chance Buffalo goes with Lynch in round one, or Peterson if he does fall.

Re: My best guess at what the Bills do at #12

Listening to Marv's press conference I remember my first thoughts were:

1. Willis? Willis who?
2. Holcomb might be gone and a late pick would be used on a QB.
3. The Bills would spend big money on one or two FA's, most likely on the O-line.
4. The Bills would draft a LB early.

Re: My best guess at what the Bills do at #12

i agree thats what id think from that article.. and i agree with the depth at lb we def can still get a quality lb from the second round. there arent many good rb prospects this year and we've been generally weak the past few years more at rb than we have at lb. i love willis as a lb but i agree with scumbag (im not calling u one, thats jus ur name haha) that even with him we still prolly wont be heaps better. plus no matter how we do it we're still going to be young at both positions and i really think lynch could do a wonferful job of making times easier for us. thats jus my take

Re: My best guess at what the Bills do at #12

honestly....as long as we draft a RB and LB in the first 2 rounds i am kool with it....

Re: My best guess at what the Bills do at #12

I can tell you this.

I got a buddy in California who does stuff with Fox, his name is "Norcal".. He's a huge Raiders guy and he's a big time west coast college football guy. Sure as hell knows more about college ball and stuff like that than me.

Anyway, he told me pretty much EVERY mock in America is already wrong, because there is no way Lynch is lasting 16 to GB.

He told me he doesnt know why Bills fans are sweating so much about AP (he also said AP would be gone by pick 8-Atlanta if not to Minny or Cleve first)-- And that Marshawn Lynch is somewhere in between a Laurence Maroney and Stephen Jackson-- and that's he's "going to be the ****".

KFFL is reporting the Bills are looking at Robert Meachem, WR Tennessee. Bringing him into Buffalo and had private interview on his Pro Day.

Some teams have called my phone—like the Minnesota Vikings—and I told my agent to try and get in touch with them. I know they and the St. Louis Rams want to schedule a visit on April 11-12. The Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills have also contacted me over the phone, asking me questions like what I'm going to do at the Pro Day. Everybody says they already know I'm fast…I don't think I'm going to run the 40 again, but it depends on how I feel when I get there.

Did he have whitner gone before 15? or macargo before 30

[patmoran2006]

Re: My best guess at what the Bills do at #12

No clue..
I"m telling you that if anything he thinks he'll be a "reach" rather than someone who slides.

WHitner and McCargo went earlier than pretty much everybody expected.. He said expect the same with Lynch; that he won't last til 16.

Who knows.. It wouldn't surprise me if Buffalo took at him 12, and I wouldn't be unhappy about it at all. We arent going to win with A-Train running 18-22 times per game.

Honestly, i don't think willis is going to last till twelve. And i Believe that the Packers, Titans, Patriots may trade up to get lynch. At the end of the day the bills take Poz, Beason, or Timmons at 12

[patmoran2006]

Re: My best guess at what the Bills do at #12

I'll bet my LIFE it wont be Timmons.

Not after finding out his agent is Rosenhaus and he'll be considered a reach but wont want reach money.. marv wont deal with him unless he has no choice.
