OFFICIAL DRAFT WEEKEND 2009 THREAD

[BILLSROCK1212]

People will probably end up making a gazillion threads but it would be nice if we could condense things into this one thread.

Anyways......Orakpo, Raji, Pettigrew, Brown, Jenkins, Maybin, Oher, unknown? Draft day is here, what are you guys thinking?

[Dying_-2-_Live]

Orakpo or Curry, somehow

[SABURZFAN]

OL OR BUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BILLSROCK1212]

Orakpo or Curry, somehow
Curry would be fantastic but then we'd probably have to make 2 trades, one for Scheffler and another for either Henderson or Waters....i'm curious to see what we'd do if we took Curry

[Dying_-2-_Live]

Jason Smith, Monroe, or Oher would work to

[Mitchell55]

OL, DL, or TE. A pair of 2 of these and ill be happy with the 1st round.

[shelby]

i am thinking....cold beer.

i love the draft because i never know what OBD is going to end up doing. i love the speculation and anticipation.

Gentle reminder....please keep your heads today. Don't get crazy if the Bills don't take who you want. i don't want to have to ban anyone on draft day.

:gobills:

[Philagape]

People will probably end up making a gazillion threads but it would be nice if we could condense things into this one thread.

Yeah, good luck with that on this board.

[Wittman21]

Does any1 think we will move up to take a OL early, maybe ahead of the Bengals? I cannot see the Bills wanting to pay that kind of money to any unproven player.

We really just need that impact rookie that some teams draft...i.e. Merriman(i think at pick 16), they will def be talent at our spot, we just need to get lucky for once....

Go Bills

[Night Train]

Mitch will be posting " I called it " after every pick. Each will have it's own thread. :tmi:

[The Juice Is Loose]

I just wanna be on record as saying if we grab Pettigrew at 11 I won't be mad.

But if grab Andre Smith at all, I will. Unless its 28 or something.

[Philagape]

Mitch will be posting " I called it " after every pick. Each will have it's own thread. :tmi:

And self-nicknamed "Double-E" will start a thread before every pick. It's all covered!

[BillsFanInMass]

I hope we get a De i really miss watching Bruce on every play i wish we could find another even half as good.

[gil]

Thanks for starting this - by the way, has anybody figured out at approximately what time the Bills will be picking today?

I'll be out and about trying to enjoy the weather and thought I'd try to drop into a bar when they pick.

[shelby]

The draft begins at 4 p.m.. Presuming the Bills stay in their spots, the 11th pick should come a little after 5 p.m., No. 28 a little before 7 p.m. and No. 42 at roughly at 8:15 p.m.

[KO1]

3rd greatest day of the year behind superbowl and opening sunday.... and draft day fell on my birthday this year so lets go aaron maybin

[gil]

Thanks Shelby - I'm a little slow on the googling this morning!

[SABURZFAN]

i wonder who is going to be first? :sarcasm:

[ddaryl]

bump because we need more of these official draft weekend threads

[FlyingDutchman]

2 days of listening to Mel Kiper :hang:

[SABURZFAN]

Detroit selects...


Matthew Stafford- QB- Georgia

[FlyingDutchman]

i love this new set up of only 10 mins in the first round

[LtFinFan66]

What does St. Louis do??

[SquishDaFish]

I think its Smith

[FlyingDutchman]

smith

[FlyingDutchman]

um did the clock just run out on st louis?

[SABURZFAN]

St. Louis Rams select.....


Jason Smith- T- Baylor

[FlyingDutchman]

nevermind

[Dujek]

Kiper's an idiot. Why the hell would the Rams have taken Sanchez?

[SquishDaFish]

I think KC is going to go Monroe.

[Luisito23]

i love this new set up of only 10 mins in the first round


Yeah no doubt...No need to be wasting our time with their nonsense.

[FlyingDutchman]

I think KC is going to go Monroe.

i have this weird feeling hes gonna fall to us

[SquishDaFish]

Monroe? I wish he or Curry fall to us

[FlyingDutchman]

holy hell tyson jackson

[SquishDaFish]

WOW! Did that kid rise Holy Crap

[SABURZFAN]

Kansas City Chiefs select...........


Tyson Jackson- DE- LSU

[kernowboy]

Whoah - reach?

[Dujek]

Wow. Tyson Jackson is a hell of a reach at 3.

[JPFBillsFan]

somebody's falling to 11, Crabtree or Sanchez

[SquishDaFish]

No this kid is a perfect fit for them IMO. Prob didnt want to take a chance at him falling with them trading back. Or tried trading back and couldnt

[FlyingDutchman]

somebody good is going to fall to us....this is getting exciting....

[Luisito23]

Somebody's definitely falling, I just hope that we don't reach yet again.

[mikemac2001]

:clap: gotta love it they reached but got there guy'

But might help us

[FlyingDutchman]

and we'll probably still manage to reach some how....

[Devin]

Tyson Jackson is a great pick for KC, thats a very solid pick for them. Pioli is gonna turn that team around.

Course all that said thats why they get to do this for a living and we just get to watch.

[Mike]

hopefully someone falls and we can trade down!!! get some more pick, unless its curry or someone like that

[Mike]

who do you think seatle takes?

[Hamilton Billsfan]

TJ-WOW!

[Mike]

here comes another surprise!!!

[JPFBillsFan]

IMO if we move down, better get a 1 or a 2 for next year...next year's draft will be much deeper all round

[SquishDaFish]

Sanchez or Monroe now I think

[Ed]

I bet KC tried pretty hard to move down, but couldn't find any takers.

The Jackson pick seems like a reach, but there were talks of him going that high over the past few days.

[FlyingDutchman]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

[Ed]

I also think Jackson going in the top 10 can only help us.

[SABURZFAN]

Seattle Seahawks select............

Aaron Curry- LB- Wake Forest

[Ed]

The Curry dream is officially over.

[Dujek]

Solid pick.

[SquishDaFish]

Good pick

[Mike]

here it is Curry to Seatly, dont they allready have great LB's?

[FlyingDutchman]

DAMN

[SquishDaFish]

I want Orakpo or Brown

[Devin]

Lol youre brain damaged if you thought curry wouldmake it out the top 5. Great pick for Seattle, he and Tatupu will make a hell of a tandem!

[mikemac2001]

smart...wish he fell but that was just a dream

[SquishDaFish]

Hill -- Tatupu -- Curry. Sick LB crew

[Mike]

so who do the Browns take: Sanchez or Crabtree

[DrGraves]

ORAKPOOOOOOO falll babyyy fall

[Buddo]

Now things start getting interesting.Looks like we are going to have a difficult decision coming. ;)

[Mike]

I think Sanchez and trade Quinn to Jets for #17

[Dujek]

The Browns taking another 1st round QB would be too funny.

[SquishDaFish]

Man oh Man here is the key pick. They can take anyone

[Mike]

so Far only one OT is off the board so Buffalo will have its chance to get a good one or trade down

[SquishDaFish]

Orakpo, Monroe, a WR, Raji. They can do anything. Maybe even trade out

[Mike]

this is almost better than watching the games

[DrGraves]

Monroe, Orapko, Raji. i'd love to see anyone one of them at 11

[SquishDaFish]

Or all 3 DrGraves LOL

[SquishDaFish]

TRADED

[SquishDaFish]

I say Jets for Sanchez



EDIT: Yes its the Jets.

So Sanchez is off the board

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Hi, all!

Had to love that Tyson Jackson pick by KC

Cleveland just made a trade with the NY Jets: Sanchez?

[Ed]

Jets are taking Sanchez

[JPFBillsFan]

dammm them

[LtFinFan66]

yes Jets!!! Take Sanchez. He ain't all that

[Mike]

JETS TAKE SANCHEZ!!!

[FlyingDutchman]

sanchez

[Dujek]

Probably Sanchez then.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

It's gonna be Sanchez

[Mike]

WOW GREAT TRADE FOR THE BROWNS

[Ed]

It's looking more and more like one of the OT's will fall to us.

[SABURZFAN]

looks like we have a trade.....

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Jets will have given up a lot to do this and there are no guarantees on Sanchez, especially this season

[HHURRICANE]

Sanchez is a great pick up for the Jets. I like this kid alot.

Jet's are serious about winning.

Well we are staying at #11 now.

[Mike]

i wounder what they gave up to move from 17 to 5

[elltrain22]

Some good players are slippin

[SABURZFAN]

NY Jets select....


Mark Sanchez-QB- USC

[FlyingDutchman]

ha theyre booing

[LtFinFan66]

Jet fans are idiots

[HHURRICANE]

ha theyre booing Most were cheering.

[Luisito23]

Idiots!

[SquishDaFish]

Next years #1 I bet

[thenry20]

J-E-T-S select MARK, MARK, MARK! LAWL

Haha did anybody else notice Rob Johnson wearing a Jests #25 jersey there looking befuddled?! :lol:

[SquishDaFish]

I think Sanchez is going to be better then Stafford

[Mad Bomber]

WOW.

Tyson Jackson #4?????

Jets trade up to #5 for Sanchez????

I LOVE draft day!!!!

[Mike]

I thinks Bangles take OT

[SquishDaFish]

3 players and 1st and 2nd picks this year

[LifetimeBillsFan]

3 players, Coleman, Elam and Rattliff, plus their # 1 and # 2 picks this year from the Jets to the Browns--that'as a lot

[SquishDaFish]

For Sanchez and a 5th rd pick

[Ed]

I would love for the Bengals to take a WR right now.

[Buddo]

That has got to be good for the Bills.

[SquishDaFish]

Jets fans dont like it :lol:

[SABURZFAN]

Jets gave up picks AND players.

[SquishDaFish]

Bengals go Monroe IMHO

[Ed]

Wow, thats not a bad deal for the Jets.

[Mike]

Jets did NOT give up alot, that was a GREAT deal for them!!!

[DrGraves]

BAHAHAHAHA JETS ARE IDIOTS!!! !BHAHAHAHAHHAA

[LifetimeBillsFan]

I think Sanchez is going to be better then Stafford

I do too. But both are going to take time to develop. And, Jets fans are not very patient

[FlyingDutchman]

im starting to get pumped, someone really good is going to fall

[DrGraves]

Sanchez has no experience... and all his teamates were far superior to their opponents... anyone could put up good numbers

[Canadian'eh!]

Rumor is that Bengals won't take Monroe and will take Raji instead.

[Mike]

Cinci goes OT
Raiders go WR Macin or Crabtree
Jags go WR if Crabtree available or DL
GB: DL
SF: DL
Buff: OT

[Hamilton Billsfan]

Browns got ripped!

[LtFinFan66]

just went to gang green. Jets fans are not happy

[LtFinFan66]

Browns got ripped!no they didn't

[SquishDaFish]

Take Andre Smith Cinci even better take Beanie Wells :roflmao:

[Dujek]

I wouldn't be happy either. The Jets just ****ed themselves.

[Ed]

Andre Smith to the Bengals?

[Mike]

Smith to Cinci

[SABURZFAN]

Cincinatti Bengals select.....


Andre Smith- T- Alabama

[Philagape]

Thank God Andre Smith is gone

[LifetimeBillsFan]

I'm just wondering if someone will reach for Freeman now, who is the only remaining QB with a first day grade still on the board.

Cincy takes Andre Smith

[Mike]

wow I'm good

[Canadian'eh!]

YES **** YES... NO ANDRE SMITH FOR US!!! don't want his lazy ass.

[FlyingDutchman]

damn it!

[Dujek]

Bungles fail

[elltrain22]

My up to date wish list:

BJ Raji
Brian Orakpo
Eugene Monroe
Michael Oher
Everette Brown

one of these guys will be a Buffalo Bill

[X-Era]

Two of the biggest boom or bust prospects just went and I LOVE what we may end up with at 11.

[SquishDaFish]

I agree didnt want Smith either

[X-Era]

My up to date wish list:

BJ Raji
Brian Orakpo
Eugene Monroe
Michael Oher
Everette Brown

one of these guys will be a Buffalo Bill

I will not be shocked if we take Pettigrew at 11 and STILL end up with Brown or even English before round two.

Just sayin.

[Mike]

its da Raiders
time to take Maclin over Crabtree for a draft day surprise

[HHURRICANE]

Here we go. We are going to take Oher on the Board with Orakpo there.

Nice job FO.

[SquishDaFish]

Crabtree here

[Voltron]

This is getting interesting. :scratch:

[Buddo]

I'm going to have to get off the boards - this is a fun draft, and my internet feed is about 3 minutes behind!

[elltrain22]

Really up in the air about the Jags pick. Probably Monroe, but could be Maclin or Crabtree

[Dying_-2-_Live]

Monroe at 11??

[SquishDaFish]

Here we go. We are going to take Oher on the Board with Orakpo there.

Nice job FO.

Will you STOP! Wait to see what happens first

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Andre Smith might end up being the next Larry Allen at OG, if he gets his head together. If he makes it at OT, he still could be pretty good, too. But, he has to grow up and get his head together.

[Mike]

Andre Smith was a Beats at Alabama, if he applies himself he can be great
Could have been #1 overall if he did it right, good pick for Cinci

[X-Era]

Crabtree here
Davis loves speed... I could easily see Maclin.

Or a big surprise in Heyward-Bey

[Ed]

Oher, Monroe, and Raji are my top 3 choices right now.

[Dying_-2-_Live]

Here we go. We are going to take Oher on the Board with Orakpo there.

Nice job FO.
I would be upset... but not mad

[FlyingDutchman]

so pissed smith is gone. still have that feeling monroe is falling to us

[kernowboy]

Here we go. We are going to take Oher on the Board with Orakpo there.

Nice job FO.

If we get Brown at #28 it certainly will be

[DrGraves]

oher would be an aweful pick at 11 at this point.

[Mike]

If Raiders take Maclin, it could be very good for the Bills

[Canadian'eh!]

Prediction... Davis will take someone COMPLETLEY UNEXCPECTED

[kernowboy]

the Jags signed Thomas and Holt but need help at DT = Raji?

[SquishDaFish]

WOW!!

[Dujek]

http://brahsome.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/andre-smith.jpg

[elltrain22]

the Raiders are sooooo effin stupid

[SABURZFAN]

Oakland Raiders select............


Darius Heyward- Bey- WR- Maryland

[Ed]

WOW

[FlyingDutchman]

Here we go. We are going to take Oher on the Board with Orakpo there.

Nice job FO.

dude do you get off on constantly being annoying and *****ing?

[SquishDaFish]

Heyward Bay WOW!!

[X-Era]

Told ya!

If we want Crabtree or Maclin, we just got our dream.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

I LOVE it!!! Oakland just gave the Bills a gift!!!

[Canadian'eh!]

TOLD YA!

HEYWARD BAY OVER CRABTREE!!! WORST MOVE EVER!

[Ed]

Awesome for us!!! I'm loving this draft so far. And I'm loving the 10 minutes per pick.

[SquishDaFish]

Crabtree is cracking up laughing

[Dujek]

Raiders WTF?

[Mike]

WOW Surprise!!! They could have had him in the teens.... should of traded down, but that is why they suck

[alohabillsfan]

Excellent!

[elltrain22]

hey if Crabtree gets to 11, any chance we move down???

[Luisito23]

LMAO!!!...Only the Raiders.

[Devin]

Wow.

[thenry20]

Wow, Al Davis has indeed lost all his marbles! It's gonna take this kid a few years to learn route running.

[LtFinFan66]

REACH

[LifetimeBillsFan]

....If we want Crabtree or Maclin, we just got our dream.

We won't draft a WR, but we're in a good place to make a trade down now if someone else wants one of them

[mikemac2001]

Haha Lol al davis

[HHURRICANE]

Crappiest owners currently in the league:

1) Al Davis
2) Ralph Wilson

With that said I think Crabtree is overrated.

[alohabillsfan]

Raji goes to JAX

[elltrain22]

Jags- Monroe
GB- Raji
SF- Crabtree
Buff- Orakpo, Oher, or E.Brown

[Mike]

Jags take Crabtree

[Michael82]

:rofl: How do you take Heyward-Bey this early??? I love Al Davis! :lmao:

[Crisis]

HAHAHAHAHAH OAKLAND

[HHURRICANE]

Jags will probably take Crabtree.

[Mike]

no way crabtree lasts till 11

[Ed]

I hope we're not being set up to be hugely dissapointed...

[mikemac2001]

REACH


love your avatar

[Voltron]

AL DAVIS STRIKES AGAIN! :roflmao:

[FlyingDutchman]

Crappiest owners currently in the league:

1) Al Davis
2) Ralph Wilson

With that said I think Crabtree is overrated.

dude can you take your miserable life somewhere else? some of us are trying to enjoy draft day. thanks and bye.

[Dujek]

I honestly think the Bills could make a killing trading down.

[HHURRICANE]

The Bills are going to have some awesome D picks available to them at #11.

If they don't go D they are morons.

[ServoBillieves]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooow, Heyward-Bey over Maclin/Crabtree? Unreal.

This is setting up the table for Monroe falling to us...

[elltrain22]

Jags-Crabtree
GB- Raji
SF- ???
Buff- Monroe??

[Mike]

Raiders are the type of team that will allways pass on a Jerrie Rice type talent for a speed guy

[Canadian'eh!]

Oh NO.

Jax- Crabtree
GB- Raji
SF - Monroe

[Mike]

Jags: Crabtree
GB: DL
SF: DL
Buf: OT

[elltrain22]

that would be a dream if Monroe slipped.

[SABURZFAN]

i like the way this draft is going. :up:

[ArcticWildMan]

Looking like Oher might be our pick.

[Canadian'eh!]

I don't want Orakpo. If the take Pettigrew though i'm giving up.

THis draft needs 1 more upset pick for me to be crazy happy.

[elltrain22]

did we interview Monroe

[X-Era]

Jags: Crabtree
GB: DL
SF: DL
Buf: OT

At this point with the way its fallen I hnestly dont want that.

I want Orakpo, Maclin, Crabtree, or Raji before I start thinking Oher or Brown.

I dont think Monroe makes it to 11.

[BillsRockSOMUCH]

Either Monroe, Raji, or Orakpo will there at 11...

[DrGraves]

If we take Oher when Orapko or Raji or Monroe is available i will will go burn down ralph wilson stadium.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

....This is setting up the table for Monroe falling to us...

The problem is that Singletary is on record saying that he would like to make a big upgrade at LT in this draft if possible--so I'm not sure Monroe gets past SF and GB needs OTs, too. Clifton is getting old and Tauscher is still recovering from injury

[elltrain22]

I am going to be so pissed if we take Pettigrew @11

[thenry20]

Crabtree is cracking up laughing

Nah, look like he's gettin ready to cry or kick Al Davis' face in.

Edwards Era and Canadian smelt this coming. Congrats you 2!!!

[alohabillsfan]

dam i was wrong, ok Green Bay takes Raji, lead pipe lock!

[SABURZFAN]

Jacksonville Jaguars select...........


Eugene Monroe- T- Virginia

[X-Era]

I am going to be so pissed if we take Pettigrew @11

I wont be pissed but with the way this is falling I think we may have way better options.

[Mike]

Jags: Monroe to take instead of Crabtree

[Akhippo]

I think its Orakpo. If we pick Maybin over Orakpo.......

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Monroe to Jax

[elltrain22]

Jags- Monroe
GB- Raji
SF- Crabtree
Buff- Okakpo, Oher, or E.Brown

[ArcticWildMan]

I wonder if we would pick crabtree? He might be on the board

[Philagape]

Crabtree continues to fall .................

[Ed]

Another OT off the board. Not feeling too confident that Oher will make it to us.

[SABURZFAN]

are Raji and Crabtree the next two?

[SABURZFAN]

Another OT off the board. Not feeling too confident that Oher will make it to us.


he will.

[Ed]

If Crabtree makes it to 11 we should try and trade down.

[FlyingDutchman]

im starting to freak out

[elltrain22]

at this point, if everything plays out as expected, we're gonna take Orakpo, and thats very, very, very exciting

[X-Era]

Crabtree continues to fall .................

He wont get past SF in my mind.

Which puts Maclin to the Bills at 11.

Im telling you the kid will be good. REALLY good.

[Mike]

this is why the jags are a running team vs passing team

[Crisis]

crabtree is the only receiver i want at 11

it's not too much of a need compared to everything else, but he's just too good to pass up

[Voltron]

I wonder if we would pick crabtree? He might be on the board
a buddy just txt me that same thing! I say no way he drops that far.

[Nighthawk]

He wont get past SF in my mind.

Which puts Maclin to the Bills at 11.

Im telling you the kid will be good. REALLY good.

Dude, you don't take a WR with the rest of needs we have...it doesn't matter if he will be good...you can't take him.

[Ed]

Damn, Raji going to GB.

[elltrain22]

bye, bye, Raji, damn........

[Akhippo]

If its Maclin over Curry, Orakpo, etc. Done for today. We would be worse than the Raiders.

[Scumbag College]

I think the Bills will have a very coveted position in 11 with the possibility of Crabtree falling or possibly someone wanting to jump ahead of Denver to get Freeman.

[DrGraves]

OMG orakpo is a bill YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Mike]

GB: DL:: Raji
SF: Crabtree

[Dujek]

If we draft a receiver I'll crack up, no matter how good he is.

[ArcticWildMan]

he will.

We'd have to trade too far down. Skins are the only team in the top 20 looking for a WR. They can sit and wait for him to fall.

[DrGraves]

Orakpo is going to kill brady week one!!!

[Nighthawk]

Raji's going to Green Bay...

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Raji just got taken

[elltrain22]

OMG orakpo is a bill YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

:nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous:

[Mike]

BUff: Oher or Orakpo

[X-Era]

Dude, you don't take a WR with the rest of needs we have...it doesn't matter if he will be good...you can't take him.

I would agre if I didnt feel so strongly about Maclin.

We have lots of picks... TO for only one year, a dymnamic game changer at WR, we may not have gotten that in Hardy.

I could see it.

[FlyingDutchman]

OMG Orakpo is going to be there

[X-Era]

:nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous:

Its right here for us.

I think its gonna happen.

I just hope they dont blow it if hes there.

BTW, I dont consider taking Maclin blowing it.

[Mike]

SF: Crabtree
what a steal for them!

[Akhippo]

Now are the bills going to pull the trigger for Orakpo or get the fourth best OT. I would have to say DE.

[alohabillsfan]

lets hope SF takes Crabtree!!!!!!

[FlyingDutchman]

please god dont let san fran screw us. let orakpo fall

[Nighthawk]

I would agre if I didnt feel so strongly about Maclin.

We have lots of picks... TO for only one year, a dymnamic game changer at WR, we may not have gotten that in Hardy.

I could see it.

Nope...won't happen.

[X-Era]

SF: Crabtree
what a steal for them!

I cant see them letting Crabtree pass.

[Akhippo]

Do you think Wash will jump Denver for a QB?
