All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
As usual #11 in this year's draft is like last year.

Apparently the ones with the best chance are interior o-line, which is not commonly thought of in the top half of the first round.
Not that I agree with that groupthink. I think that area is pretty important.
Maybe linebackers.

I am sure their will a couple players taken in the first round after the 10th pick that will go on to become a pro bowl player. The key is to take the right player that will become an all pro player.
It's not where you pick. It's what you do with your pick that counts.

I just saw a mock, I think it was by Wyche on nfl.com, and shockingly he didnt have him the first round. i thought that was kinda crazy.

Most have him to the Steelers at 32, but I've seen him as high as Minnesota at 22. I'd love for the Bills to trade down (or up from the second) and get him. I'd rather have him than a tweener DE project.

Re: As usual #11 in this year's draft is like last year.
The problem isn't #11. There will still be a lot of talent available at #1. The problem for the Bills- and it's the same problem every year- is that this team DEPENDS on the draft to find starters. If we had the luxury of taking the best player available at 11, there is no doubt in my mind that we'd have a quality player in a year or two. But as usual, this team has been mismanaged and we need quality players NOW and we need them in specific positions.
This makes it very difficult to get the player we need out of the draft.
Re: As usual #11 in this year's draft is like last year.
The best combination of impact/risk/need/"value" is probably Maualuga IMO
Or Oher if he's available
The DEs will have limited impact and/or high risk
An interior lineman won't have "value" at our spot, although I think a pick's value is determined by what he does in the NFL
