will someone please explain to me.....

how Levitre is worth the #51 plus a 3rd rounder and a 4th rounder, but NOT worth the #42?

We could have had him and kept the picks.

If Byrd plays S instead of CB, I'll feel a little better about the move, but it looks like this FO gave up picks so they could select yet another skill player. We've used an unreal number of picks on the defensive backfield over the last three or 4 years and we're STILL drafting defensive backs. WTF?

We showed interest in a saftey in the offseason. For someone who bashes whitner like you do should like this.

the Bills trusted their board... not the internet mocks and analysis

Re: will someone please explain to me.....

Since 2006, we've drafted Whitner, Simpson, Youboty, Wendling, McKelvin, Corner, Cox and now Byrd. That's 8 DB's in 4 drafts.

I so agree with this!!

With the run on C's in the 3rd, I really think he would have been gone by our pick.

I think the Bills made a great move with this pick.

But, I do wish we would have had that 3rd. I was hoping they would try to trade a player and pick or just a pick or two and move up.

Looks like they still may get a very good receiving TE even this far down.

If they wanted a TRUE Safety to replace Ko, then why not draft a Safety instead of moving a guy who's knowledge is that of a corner?

Wait that would make sense!

Especially when you had a William Moore still available.

As much as I'd like an upgrade for Whitner, it's just not going to happen. If anything, they are looking for a S to replace Simpson/upgrade Scott- and as much as I bash Whitner, the other S spot is a bigger hole than Whitner is.

And look at my post above- this team has used a ****load of draft picks on DB's and we're STILL trying to draft DB's. If they'd ****ing get it right for once, we could stop drafting the same positions year after year after year.

That is exactly my problem with what they've done. This regime is so ass backwards that it makes me wonder if any of them know what the hell they're doing!

We haven't had a mauling type guard since Jerry Ostroski. Our lines play reflects it. Just sit back and watch how the picks actually play instead of moaning and complaining. If the kid is as good as many are saying, giving up a 3rd for him will be a steal.

Why not draft a LB at 11 instead of drafting a DE and trying to make him an LB?

Oh wait, that would also make sense.

we gave up a 3rd and a 4th for him. Again, I'm not questioning the pick- I just think we would have been better off passing on Bird and taking Levitre at 42 rather than trading up and giving up two other picks to get him.

It just seems like since we made Peters into a LT, we, as an organization think we can do that with everybody.

I don't get it.

what LB would you have taken at 11? We got a guy they COULD put at LB but can also put his hand on the ground and get after the QB from the DE position.

If we really wanted a true LB...we coulda gone Cushing at 11.

Or moved down a little and got Matthews.

Cleveland showed you could move down without much problem in this draft.
