Buddy Nix on WEDG FM

[T-Long]

* Discussing everything even at this minute

* Interested in 3 or 4 positions that they would take any one player in those positions

* No idea about Big Ben until just minutes before this interview. Flat out rumor

* One board they go off of (cross board) positions ranked in order, then across in the rounds they think they will go in

* Guy good enough to be a #9 pick and a position of need, then they go after him. If there is not one at a need position with a 9 value, then go with the best player no matter where he plays

* Draft board is locked into room and there is only 3 keys

* Gotta keep other GM's guessing on what they wanna do

* Didn't care that Eli said he didn't want to go to SD, and drafted him anyway.

* Can't be knee-jerked trying to impress people with moves

* Looking for 9 great football players with their 9 picks

* On trading down: Very interested in trading down. Will only do it if they feel like they can land a guy they want at whatever pick was offered

* There will be a guy in the draft room who in running mock drafts

* Buddy is the one who pulls the trigger, but doesn't take the phone call

* Respects Mel Kiper, but Mel "don't draft for the Bills." He does watch ESPN between picks for entertainment, but doesn't care about Kiper's opinion.

* Guarantees the Bills will be a better team come Saturday night at midnight.

"I been in a meeting and trying to take care of our business. Nobody talked to me and I’d assured you that nobody has talked to anyone in this building. You can put an end to that rumor."- Buddy Nix comment moments ago regarding Big Ben.

1st time in years that I feel the Bills are in capable hands... Time to shake the joke image!

Re: Buddy Nix on WEDG FM

The only thing he said that any relevence whatsoever is that he denied not having any interest in Big Ben, as has been reported--- and he also denied even talking to Pittsburgh at all for that matter, or anyone else in the building.

Personally, I think he's full of ****.

What's funny is that after he said that, he was asked if he is careful about everything him and his staff say at this point and said "You better believe it."

Haha I wished they would have then said, well then what you just said about Ben was complete B.S. then right??

I agree. Landing D. Edwards was a big shot of confidence for me in the Bills new front office. I really am excited about tomorrow and Friday and think we'll finally see some real "rebuilding" and hopefully within 2-3 years we'll have a winning team on the field.

Re: Buddy Nix on WEDG FM

Doubtful Nix took the call, so I doubt he's lying.

Pitts GM probably called Whaley since he is a former Steeler himself. That would be the guy to go to for Pitt not Nix.

He didn't just say he didnt get a call. He also denied that ANYBODY talked to the Steelers.

Re: Buddy Nix on WEDG FM

Regardless, the Buffalo Bills won't be in on Big Ben.

Let's get back to the draft.

[Lexwhat]

Re: Buddy Nix on WEDG FM

According to Jason La Canfora:

The Buffalo Bills also pick in the top 10 and need a quarterback, but they don't appear interested in Roethlisberger at this time. Doug Whaley, a former executive in Pittsburgh, moved to Buffalo this offseason to work with general manager Buddy Nix, but the Steelers don't expect him to recommend Roethlisberger to his new team because he would harbor some of the same reservations that they do.
