OFFICIAL NFL DRAFT THREAD

[lordofgun]

We should have kept Gaines.

[raphael120]

Gaines is a bum...we need to do better than him

[Ingtar33]

Philly - Jackson (wr)

[lordofgun]

Gaines is a bum...we need to do better than him
Well it's not gonna happen.

[SABuffalo786]

It's Bennett now I suppose. What pick are we?

[raphael120]

Well it's not gonna happen.

Well the Bills are stupid if they think that they can get by with the TE's we have ont he roster...Trent is all about TE's and a productive one will help this **** of a 30th ranked offense gain respectability. I say we do what we need to to get Bennett

[Meathead]

cool!

nfl.com (http://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker#tab:dt-by-round|round-2) had the pick up before it was announced!

must be a delay in the broadcast. but that means they got somebody at the draft with their finger on the return key cuz that was amazing

[Meathead]

im a little surprised with all those picks the bills havent moved up to snag some of these really good players still left that likely will be gone by their third

the good news is if they dont they still have a shot to get two good ones in round four

[TigerJ]

Even Kell Davis or Jermichael Finley can give Buffalo a good receiving TE.

That's why we should have kept Gaines.

[lordofgun]

We could always convert Jason Peters back to TE.

[Ingtar33]

Arizona takes Campbell (DE, Mia), good need pick, bad value

[LtFinFan66]

Arizona takes Campbell (DE, Mia), good need pick, bad valueMayock just said it was good value:idunno:

[raphael120]

Devin Thomas AND Malcom Kelly?!?!?!?!

[Ingtar33]

Washington takes Kelly (wr)

[hammerbillsfan]

and Fred Davis! wow

[Mad Max]

We could always convert Jason Peters back to TE.

Or just loft a couple of Tackle eligible passes his way early in the season. Put a little doubt into opposing DCs.:bringit:

[Ingtar33]

Washington actually has

Malcom Kelly, Devin Tomas, and Fred Davis.

total re-build of their offense in round 2.

I would have loved to have had that round 2 for the Bills

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Yeah, that is a pretty good round. They certainly got Campbell some weapons to work with.

[Ingtar33]

bucs and jags trade.

[Ingtar33]

Jags Take Quenton Groves (DE/OLB - tweener)

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Jags take Q.Groves. They needed to upgrade their DEs and they did

[Ingtar33]

Pittsburgh takes Sweed (WR)

[LifetimeBillsFan]

I think that the Bills have done pretty well so far in getting the players that they "targeted" at the positions that they needed to address. But, I also think that there have been some teams that have done extremely well in this draft as well.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Wow, the Jags really paid a steep price to move up to get Groves--a 5th and a 7th in addition to their own pick.

That being the case, it might be too expensive for the Bills to try to move up at this point.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Tenn. takes Jason Jones, DT, E. Michigan

[Ingtar33]

Tenn takes Jason Jones - DT. yikes. ugly draft

[hydro]

Wow, the Jags really paid a steep price to move up to get Groves--a 5th and a 7th in addition to their own pick.

That being the case, it might be too expensive for the Bills to try to move up at this point.

Why do we need to move up?

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Why do we need to move up?

The Bills don't necessarily have to move up unless there is a TE that they really like and want to make sure that they get.

Martellus Bennett of Texas A&M, who may be the most well-rounded of the TEs in the draft, might be a guy worth moving up for, if they like him more than, say, Cottam or Rucker, etc.

[Ingtar33]

Ray Rice to Balt

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Looks like Ray Rice is going to Baltimore. He's from my area and I wish him well. Not sure he's worth a 2nd round pick, though.

[Ingtar33]

and yes... Bennett and Rucker both might be worth moving up for.

I'd like to see Bennett in buffalo red - white and blue

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Rice is going to surprise a lot of folks. He's a very tough runner, despite being on the small side--kind of like Marshawn Lynch.

And, he is a heck of a nice kid. His Mom "don't play"--she's a really nice person. He's got a little brother who is an undersized WR in HS.

GB goes with Brian Brohm. Good choice for them.

[Ingtar33]

Green Bay takes Brian Brohm

good pick, keeps him from miami.

[Ebenezer]

holy cow....Brian Brohm...Wanna bet they lure Favre out of retirement and they groom Brohm for the future?? Rodgers is toast.

[Ingtar33]

likely Henne to Miami here.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Does Miami take a chance on Henne now?

[B-DON]

they better

[Ebenezer]

fins pick Chad Henne

blah.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Miami does take Henne. Interesting. Guess Beck better start getting his act in gear or he is a goner.

[B-DON]

and they do. nice pick

[Ebenezer]

Long and Henne...not much to put together a relationship there.

[Ingtar33]

yep. Henne is the pick, Henne

I never liked henne. he has poor pocket awareness and iffy accuracy. but you can't argue with a 4 year starter... the longer a QB starts in college the better he tends to do in the pros.

[Ebenezer]

I really don't know how to judge that Miami pick.

[LtFinFan66]

Miami does take Henne. Interesting. Guess Beck better start getting his act in gear or he is a goner.either way he's not a goner

[hydro]

Another Michigan guy for Lt :rofl:

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Now watch the games begin in Miami: Parcells has a history of jerking his QBs around--he did it with the Giants and with Dallas. It is going to be interesting to see what happens before things settle down.

[!Papacrunk!]

well at least Henne and Long will be on the same page. Does this mean that MJ Manningham will be aboard as well, lol?

HEY LTDan--so how does it feel to have two Michigan players on the team and how weird is it that Henne could be passing to Ginn, lol?

[Novacane]

Parcels must not be as sold on Beck as FTP is :D

[Ebenezer]

Now watch the games begin in Miami: Parcells has a history of jerking his QBs around--he did it with the Giants and with Dallas. It is going to be interesting to see what happens before things settle down.
yeah....he could ruin two kids QBs in just a season... :chuckle:

[LtFinFan66]

is somebody in the FO a Michigan alum.

[LtFinFan66]

is somebody in the FO a Michigan alum.Yes

[LifetimeBillsFan]

TB just took Dexter Jackson, WR, App St.

He could be a very dangerous weapon for them with his speed.

[Ingtar33]

Dexter Jackson to TB

[!Papacrunk!]

is somebody in the FO a Michigan alum.

lol you'd think, but I'm not sure myself.


Now, LT, you didn't make that Youtube video with the Chad Henne sucks song did you? It was made from an OSU fan, lol

[LtFinFan66]

The new part owner is a Michigan grad and Parcells is friends with Carr

[LtFinFan66]

lol you'd think, but I'm not sure myself.


Now, LT, you didn't make that Youtube video with the Chad Henne sucks song did you? It was made from an OSU fan, lolNo

[LifetimeBillsFan]

The Colts go with Mike Pollack, C, Ariz St.

[Ingtar33]

Mike Pollak (C) - Indy

[LifetimeBillsFan]

GB takes Patrick Lee, CB, Auburn

[TigerJ]

Quite a few mocks projected Pollak to Buffalo. Behind Pollak there's not much else. A terrible draft for centers. Buffalo will be going anouther year with Fowler.

[Ingtar33]

GB - Lee (CB)

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Good pick for GB. I like Lee.

What time does the draft start up again on Sunday? Does anyone know?

[Illmatic15]

Ray Rice will be better than MCgahee

[TigerJ]

Good pick for GB. I like Lee.

What time does the draft start up again on Sunday? Does anyone know?

10 AM, I think. I'll probably miss rounds 3 and 4 and have to play catch up.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Quite a few mocks projected Pollak to Buffalo. Behind Pollak there's not much else. A terrible draft for centers. Buffalo will be going anouther year with Fowler.

There are a couple of guys who might be developmental projects--need a year before they are ready to play--that should be available later on. I could see the Bills taking one in the 5th round or later. But, I think they will be sticking with Fowler for now because they want to see if they can develop some continuity with the five starters that they have.

[Ebenezer]

Dallas picks Martellus Bennet

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Dallas uses their pick to take Martellus Bennett, TE *#$*^$*!##!!!

Pats on the board now.

[TigerJ]

Martellus Bennett to the 'Boys.

[hydro]

Martellus Bennett to the 'Boys.

:curse:

[Ebenezer]

NE = Terrence Wheatley It'll work for them.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Pats go with T.Wheatley the CB from Colorado

[Ingtar33]

Bennett to dallas

there goes that hope

[Ebenezer]

OK....last pick of the day....who's it going to be?

[Ebenezer]

Bennett to dallas

there goes that hope
I like that pick.

[Ingtar33]

Wheatley to NE

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Well, Finley, K.Davis and Cottam are still available--as well as Rucker, who might be the most talented of all of them, but is still very raw. I'm not sold on K.Davis and Cottam, but I wouldn't be unhappy with either Finley and Rucker at this point.

[Ingtar33]

Dan Conner to the NYG? that's what nfln seems to be speculating

[Ingtar33]

btw: KC had hands down the best draft.

[TigerJ]

I've seen mocks projecting Conner to the Giants at the bottom of the first.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

The Giants close out the day by taking Terrell Thomas, CB, USC

[Ingtar33]

Thomas (CB) - NYG

[TigerJ]

Cottam - injury history
K. Davis-classic underachiever
Martin Rucker-not much training as a blocker
Jermichael Finley-pretty slight for blocking, a smooth receiver.

No complete TEs left, but some have upside.

[hydro]

btw: KC had hands down the best draft.

They had to with all those picks. And I am sure this will help fans forget Allen is gone.

[TigerJ]

They had to with all those picks. And I am sure this will help fans forget Allen is gone.I suppose it was possible for KC to blow it, but you expect teams with bonus picks in the first 2 rounds to get more impact players than teams with just their regular complement of picks. I doubt KC is going to replace Jared Allen's production at DE, though hey'll be stronger up the middle if Dorsey's stress fracture heals up OK.

I'm happy with what Buffalo did.

[Gunzlingr]

Buffalo was getting praised on Sirius.

[Dr. Lecter]

I hate the Cowboys.

Even moreso now.

[hydro]

I hate the Cowboys.

Even moreso now.

Seriously, why do they need a TE again? Bennett would have looked good in a Bills uni :sigh:

[!Papacrunk!]

I'm happy with our (Miami's) draft. Giving grades is absolutely pointless, outisde of entertainment value, since it takes around 3 years to evaluate. I can't wait for tomorrow and maybe there will be some trade offers for people that may want to take the 1st pick of the 2nd day.


Thumbs up to Buffalo's 1st day. How tall is Hardy, like 7'5"? If he's past those off field issues that the media has been bringing up, he has a lot of potential to be a force, especially teamed up with Evans!

[chubluv]

I like what we did. I also think the Chiefs & Redskins did well. I cant wait to see the skins try to sign arguably 2 out the 3 best WR's and one of the best TE's.
