A pass rush, we need a pass rush, we need a pass rush, we need a pass rush. I don't think it's an option in this draft, with the 11th pick, to aquire any other position but defensive end. Seriously. I am well aware of the LG, TE, OLB, and possibly C positions needing to be filled, but minus that one breakout year from Schobel, we have had a horrible pass rush since the Bruce days. I'm sick of watching us create the most beautiful pocket for a QB to step up into and deliver a strike all day long. Pitt, NYG, Indy, Pitt, NE, NE, TB, NE, Bal.. I can go on and on about the previous Superbowl winners, and every single one, especially the recent teams, have all gotten to the QB, and have all had feared pass rushing attacks. Personally I hate our cover 2 defense, and to me all it is, is a 'we will let you get your 6 yard gains, but you aren't beating us deep', defense. But if we are going to keep the cover 2, then we need pass rushing. Right now, especially if we lock up Peters, I think a tight end in the 2nd round, would tottally solidify our offense (barring Edwards staying healthy). But without a pass rush, we are going to look at another 2002. 30pts a game, giving up 31.

Re: Buffalo Needs..
most of us agree, but the options for a DE @11 are limited.
many of the top DE's are OLB's and others are not great pass rushers.
I hope we pick up a top DE, but our best option might be to trade down gather a pick or 2 and grab the DE we are targeting...

Re: Buffalo Needs..
If Orakpo isn't there, you try to trade down. IMO, not enough seperates the #2 rookie DE from the #8. None of the plan Bs are likely to be an immediate force though."Heck, now I am glad his overrated arce made the pro bowl, else we would have only got a 3rd." ~ yordad

Re: Buffalo Needs..
I think DE is the number one priority so I agree with your thread. However, I also agree that we need a guy that is an impact player and has the ability to be a sack master. I'm not sure that he'll be there at #11.

Re: Buffalo Needs..
There are good pass-rushing DE's later in the draft (2nd, 3rd rounds). I think if the Bills really want to help their pass rush and fill a need, it would be an option to take Cushing in the first.Originally posted by TE2Hard-E81
Granted, it would be a fair reach at 11. But he's a very good blitzing OLB. Taking a DE isn't the only way to improve pass rush. And as jdbillsfan said, Raji would also help our pass rush, but I really don't think he'll drop to us."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: Buffalo Needs..
any way u look at it we have to come out of this draft with a playmaker on D at 11, and a pass catching TE, and maybe a starter on the OLine, geez..... sign someone OBDXTRA CRISPY XTRA SAUCEYComment

Re: Buffalo Needs..
Because after 3 years of rebuilding we have a thin roster and are still desperate for impact players.Originally posted by pinkdogg32

Re: Buffalo Needs..
Cant go into the draft expecting to fill 4-5 needs u should be filling 2 at the most
this organization needs to get off there ass and fill some holes, unless TO was a signing to sell tickets nothing more... otherwise u dont sign someone of his caliber and age to a 1 yr deal and not go for broke
at the very least we should shore up LG/RG in FA
We need a pass rusher
We need a real DT next to Stroud
We need a play maker at SS
we need a playmaker at DE
We need a pass catching TE
We need a....XTRA CRISPY XTRA SAUCEYComment

Re: Buffalo Needs..
To those who say "trade down and get, say, two #2's"- Great teams are made up of impact #1's, much less so second/third rounders. Your stars win you games, not your ham 'n eggers. If no LDE is worth the #11 pick, then surely some pass rushing LOLB is.....But I couldn't agree more w/ the premise of the thread: Pass rush is need #1, and the whole team w/b better if we can get us some 'o Dat!Comment

Re: Buffalo Needs..
Pass rush- English in 2nd
LB- Digi, Ellison, Thomas, Bowen
C/G- Luigs in 3rd
TE- Hardy and Fine. Fine as blocker, Hardy like Winslow after gaining 20 lbs.
WR replacement for owens- Crabtree in 1st
S- Spillman in 5th
DT- Abdallah in 6thComment
