    thoughts for 1st two draft picks

    I am not going to act like i know a lot about college players i dont watch much of it so i am curious on some of your thoughts:

    1st round pick- everett brown. de. fsu
    2nd round pick-best available center

    does that sound good to anyone or is there someone else you would like to have with the 11th pick?

    Re: thoughts for 1st two draft picks

    Personally if the Bills are truly playing for 2009 to be a playoff year then we'd be better suited trading our 1st Round pick for a veteran. I'd love to see Tony Gonzalez and would have little issues trading our top pick for him and hopefullly get a later pick (say Round 5) in return. As look back to 2008 and what rookies made big impacts? Most of them were RBs, I know some will chime in on QBs like Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco making the playoffs but to me tey made more in part because of the talent around them.

      Giving away a first pick for TG is insane, especially the 11th. pick....

        I don't think that it's necessarily a BAD idea.. I do like the idea of a veteran DE/WR in FA and drafting a LB with our top pick. Maualuga and Curry, I like them both.

          Tell me would the Bills been better suited with McKelvin this past season or TG?

            McKelvin.. I'd say that McKelvin has been very good for us so far, plus he is young and on the rise. Gonzalez would be productive but we wouldn't have made the playoffs with him by no means, imo.. Plus, he is on the way to retirement soon.

              96 catches for 1058 yards and 10 TDs wouldn't have turned this team into a playoff team? I digress as stuff like that turns the Browns and 49ers and even the season finale against the Patriot losses into wins. I agree McKelvin's upside is greater but to say he outplayed Gonzalez this season is insane.

                Id say draft Michael Johnson with the 11th and get a safty with our 2nd. This is with us getting a LB already in FA.

                  What's wrong with that ? I think you're dead on.

                    If Dick Jauron had full control of personnel decisions, I suppose he might be tempted to trade away the future potential of a first round pick for Tony Gozalez who is still a great tight end, but in the twilight of his career. Jauron is not in charge of all personnel decisions, and even if he were, I would not as the owner of the Bills be very happy with that decision. I might be mad enough to can his butt immediately. The problem is Gonzalez has maybe a couple years at the top of his game. Then he's going to start losing speed and become a much more ordinary player. If you look at the value of a first round pick versus a veteran as old as Gonzalez, there's no comparison. As a sure thing Gonzalez gives you maybe a year or two. A first round rookie could be a bust, but he also might give you a ten year career as a multi-year probowler. Remember too that Gonzalez didn't want to come to Buffalo. I don't think it is very bright to invite that kind of potential trouble into your locker room.

                    I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                    I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                      My big concern with Everette Brown is that he gives us another undersized DE. I'd rather get Michael Johnson and stick him in the weight room to add 10-15 lbs of muscle. I think Johnson has all the upside in the world, but at 6'7" ihe makes me a little nervous being under 260. My fear is that he could be prone to injury in the pro game

                        I'm not a huge fan of trading down when we are where we are.
