Question for those of you supporting our draft:

[Statman]

How many and which players from this particular draft do you expect to see starting during the next three seasons and why?

[YardRat]

Re: Question for those of you supporting our draft:

Lynch--obvious.

Poz--obvious.

Edwards--depends on how JP and/or Nall do over that time period. I stated a couple of months ago (actually guaranteed) that the Bills would draft a QB and a TE, so I welcome having a young guy at this point. If something does happen to JP (injury, loss in FA, etc) at least we've got a guy learning the ropes.

Wendling--back-up, unless Whitner/Simpson get hurt.

Wright--May not 'start', but should contribute in specific situations (ie goal line) and be a solid change-of-pace for Lynch.

Schouman--If they move him to fullback, I could see him starting in the standard pro set a la Jamie Mueller or Carwell Gardner.

Ah You--I don't really see him ever making the actual team, let alone starting.

Re: Question for those of you supporting our draft:

Two day 1 starters and 2-3 potential starters (for us or someone else) down the road smeday

Re: Question for those of you supporting our draft:

Ask that of most teams. This wasn't an overly deep draft.

[DraftBoy]

Re: Question for those of you supporting our draft:

Lynch and Pos are the only starters the rest will contribute but never start consistently.

Though I do think highly of CJ Ah You as a pass rush specialist.

Re: Question for those of you supporting our draft:

I'll add, who knows?

[John Doe]

Re: Question for those of you supporting our draft:

Wendling is an immediate starter on special teams - maybe Schouman too.

The cat from Fresno St. could see some nice chunk of carries down the road in what I hope to be one helluva 1-2 running back pucnh

Wendling will push Simpson to the limit. I think he wins the job.

Alot of people might hate me for this but i dont think Simpson did **** last year. Everytime I saw him he was blowing a tackle or getting juked. Just my opinion. Hes does have potential though

[SquishDaFish]

Re: Question for those of you supporting our draft:

I think Wendling is going to push Ellison of all people.

Re: Question for those of you supporting our draft:

Lynch and Pos start from day #1

Edwards is a development project that has an upside and will should be a great backup with possible starts in the future. JP injury, or JP regression will have us all glad we have someone else who might develope into a full time starter.

Wright is going to be our short yardage specialist and may start if Lynch goes down.

Wendling can easily become a starter down the line

Schouman has the opportunity to be solid part of this team....

Ah You is practice squad NFL Europe material

Re: Question for those of you supporting our draft:

LaRon Harris will be the next Pat Williams.

Re: Question for those of you supporting our draft:

LaRon Harris will be the next Pat Williams.

I would very much love that... and I think it is a possibility.... but he wasn't drafted so he isn't included in this discussion.

but none the less... I'm hopin he proves to be a player

Re: Question for those of you supporting our draft:

Lynch and Posluszny obviously should start for the Bills from day 1.

Hopefully, JP Losman will continue to develop into a solid starting QB and stay healthy so that Trent Edwards never has to start for the Bills. That said, Edwards could easily be the Bills starting QB two or three years from now should Losman regress.

Dwayne Wright, again, hopefully will never be a starter for the Bills, but he should contribute 6-8 carries on average per game in relief of Marshawn Lynch.

I have no idea what position John Wendling will actually end up playing for the Bills and its not a given that he'll ever be anything but a special teams player, but he does seem to have the athleticism and intelligence to eventually make the transition into a starting role, whether it be at one of the safety spots, at OLB, or even at CB.

I think Derek Schouman has an excellent chance of being the opening day starter in 2007 as an H-back type player. He seems to have the skillset for it, but more importantly, the Bills don't have anyone else.

I doubt CJ Ah You makes the final roster.
