Re: Coach Sal's 1st Round +2 Mock (1-34)
Love that 1st pick!Originally posted by Coach Sal
I think he's a very real possibility. I think he will be there, and that the Bills could easily convince themselves that, under Gailey's tooling, he can become the face of the franchise.
Some heads will implode around here if it happens... but that may be the case anyways regardless of who we take.

That would be worst case scenario for the Bills.Comment

Re: Coach Sal's 1st Round +2 Mock (1-34)
keep in mind bills fans, every position is a need except rb and wr, literally every spot including qb. so as long as we get a few pro bowlers, than i will be happy regardless of what position. WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF STAR PLAYERS...Comment

I would be happy with Gabbert. He's the best QB in this draft, IMO. And he fills a huge hole on the team for the future, a QB for Fitzpatrick to groom for a year or two to take over and lead this team to the promised land. I also love Rudolph, but would be pissed if they don't do anything to fix their pathetic defense in the first two rounds. If they take Gabbert, then they HAVE to take a DL or LB in the second.

Re: Coach Sal's 1st Round +2 Mock (1-34)
I can't follow your logic. We need defense desparately and you have 2 offensive players up front. I'm not saying they are not good players but they are not where our needs lie.Comment

I think we would be fine Mikey.Originally posted by Michael82
I mean at 34, we probably get the pick of the litter at ILB, could still get the 4th or 5th ranked OLB, or would still be able to land a DL that would likely be in round 1 if this draft weren't exceptionally deep at the position.
Martez Wilson, Bruce Carter, Greg Jones, Quan Sturdivant, possibly Cameron Heyward, Phil Taylor, Christian Ballard, Jurell Casey, Stephen Paea... all possibilities at 34.Last edited by X-Era; 04-25-2011, 04:44 PM.

I'd love this if it's true. You can Sheppard with the 3rd, then OT and OLBer like Bruce Miller in the fourth.Comment

I've never believed the draft is about trying to fill immediate needs just because they're needs. When you do that....you reach.Originally posted by fmr60
I understand the #3 pick may be different because it's so high, and I actually LOVE Miller personally and would be thrilled with him, but the draft is about building a team, not filling a problem for a season.
My opinion is they believe Gabbert is a franchise QB. Just my opinion.Click to listen:

If the Bills do take a QB first, I believe they will definitely go D with the second pick.
Actually, I'll give them one alternative - an OT, as there may well still be a good one left over from the back of the 1st round.
I think they are very serious about trying to solidify our run D, and to do that, we need, at minimum, a good DE, and a thumping ILB. While we might manage to find an ILB in the 4th round, we aren't going to find the requisite quality of DE in the 3rd onwards - even in a 'deep' class.
I'd also say, that it would be highly questionable, that TE would actually be the BPA on the Bills board, at the #34. If the QBs start going early, which with Newton and Gabbert taken, they may well do, that will almost certainly mean that a good DE, and OT, will probably be available at the #34, and I rather suspect that the need for both positions will outweigh the desire for a TE.Comment

Re: Coach Sal's 1st Round +2 Mock (1-34)
IMO, I do. I see similarities to Brees and Matt Ryan. We all know it's a crap shoot. But I think the people who want the sure-fire franchise guy like Luck are kidding themselves if they think we will ever do what it takes to get him. Or even that we will ever be the worst team in the league as far as record goes. That means your stuck with guys that aren't as sure-fire. And in that situation, I like everything Gabbert brings to the table. Smart, athletic, big, accurate, mobile, quick release, strong arm, great work ethic... He needs to develop and will have that opportunity with us.Originally posted by Michael82Last edited by X-Era; 04-25-2011, 05:39 PM.
