As usual #11 in this year's draft is like last year.

[HHURRICANE]

Can anyone convince me that anything worthwhile will be there at #11.

Orakpo just sealed himself as a top ten pick. A TE at #11 is a giant waste as Pettigrew may not even be 1st round talent.

So now what? Get me excited because I don't see a slam dunk starter at #11.

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.

DLine first, then LB.

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 am starting to like the idea of LB at 11 then trade back up and grab Micheal Johnson

Re: As usual #11 in this year's draft is like last year.

we need OL regardless of wether peters signs or not... We are open at LG and our depth is now thin because we released a lot of dead weight.

There is plenty of OL talent to be had at #11, ... and there are quite a few LB options @ 11 that would represent an upgrade for us.

The DE's left on board at #11 is a head scratcher because so many of them are hybrid DE's / 3-4 OLB's

Nothing will be ever be good for the Buffalo Bills and the #11.

I thought we drafted the #1 rated CB in the draft last year?

That's alex mack in your avatar right?
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.

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

Norwood & then Bledsoe...the #11 is bad luck.

wow, Buffalo gets terrible value out of the draft by that standard.
