    Would you be disappointed

    If Marv decided to shore up our lines for the future and drafted Okoye in the first and then traded backup and grabbed a guy like Ben Grubbs at OG or Kalil at C?

    I mean it does all start at the lines right?

    Discuss.

    I'd be fine with that...go big early, and fill in the missing pieces later.

        I wont be upset by an Okoye pick but trading back into the first to grap Grubbs or Kalil instead of sitting pat and waiting, would bother me. There are good OL in the middle of the draft, we dont need to move up to take them. But aside from drafting a C, I dont understand why we would take more OL because if we do then why the hell did we take Butler, and Pennington last year and why sign Whittle, Walker, and Dockery?

          Good point Kalil you could make a case for.

          Maybe drafting that Manuel Ramirez kid in the late third or 4th would be a better move.

            It would make me start to question some of their other decisions - it'd really be an admission that they already think they f'd up some of their draft & FA moves last offseason.

            I do think Okoye would be a great fit in this system, but I don't see it happening - he probably won't even be there at 12.

              How much more can the Bills afford to invest in OL?

              They signed two high price OL, previous brought in versatile Whittle, previous brought in Fowler, paid for an extension of Peters and brought in a number of prospects, Enough has been spent for a while.

              I would not be "dissapointed" but I'd be disappointed

                It would bother me because of the investments that they have already made on both lines. I wouldn't mind if these were 3rd round picks or later...but not the 1st or 2nd round.

                There's wayyy too many holes to fill right now to add extra linemen.

                  What if they picked up a guy like Willis or Beason at 12 then traded backup for Kalil?

                    I wouldn't be upset at all if they drafted someone who could start at RG.

                    Whittle's a cheap journeyman who started only two of 16 games last year, and the rest are Day 2 prospects. None of them should stop us from taking a blue-chipper if we want to try to make the entire line solid.

                        Willis at 12 and then Kalil would be pretty sweet. Plus I'm not really sold on Fowler and Kalil could be our Kent Hull. You never know.

                          The sad part about this thread is it's an admission by some fans that moves we made in the past year aren't good enough. We're sitting here worried over DT. We've now brought in 4 new DTs since the TD era and this thread is discussing drafting another DT at 12 overall.

                            im not worried about DT, I simply think Okoye is one of those DT prospects that maybe to good to pass up.

                              But don't we already have two of him in Tripplett and Walker? IMO, Okoye would be a waste. The kind of player that we really need is a Ted Washington type.
