I'm going out on a limb here...

[DrGraves]

My official one and only thread about the draft...

I predict (and I hope I'm wrong) that the Bills select A.J. Green

My reasoning is a more lack thereof than anything else. But look at what happened last year... you could have made the argument that running back is the absolute last need on our team yet we go out and take CJ Spiller because he was BPA. For better or for worse I think this is Nix's MO and unless the organization is 100% on Gabbert/Newton and I think this could very well happen again. Whether Green is best player available at 3 is debatable but it just seems like something this organization would do.

Then he blows it up on the field and you forget how dumb you are


Should we draft him NO but he's a stud who will be a number one Stevie and lee 2 and 3 so ****ing deadly...we also drafted 2 dline have moats and merriman

I would rather see darues miller peterson but Aj green is forth he's a stud

Re: I'm going out on a limb here...

I'd rather have Green over Gabbert, Newton, Bowers, Peterson, and Dareus.

Re: I'm going out on a limb here...

I think it's a possibility but only if he gets past Carolina. They have a solid running game with decent OL so what better way to help a young QB than grab one of the best WR prospects in years?

Re: I'm going out on a limb here...

I'm sorry to say it, but this notion is ridiculous. They're not taking Green with the 3rd pick. Period.

Rather have him than Miller.

What is ridiculous about it if the guy is as good as advertised?

I agree with you about everyone but Dareus. Dareus is #1 on many boards as the best player in the draft & would fill a great need on the Bills.

Green may be a great receiver but the Bills have no real need at that position. I would be fine however if the Bills take him over everyone but Dareus that you listed.

If the Bills take Green or ANYONE over Dareus I will throw up all the beer & wings I have consumed earlier in the day.

It's sooooo far down on the list of needs that there is no realistic possibility, in my opinion, that they would even consider Green at #3.

The Spiller pick last year was because of the production and versatility that he brought with him. But also because Fred is getting up there in age, and because Lynch had some issues and wasn't as productive as he should have been. So RB last year wasn't really a need, but it was more of a need than WR is this year. Lee, Stevie, Nelson, Parrish (who Gailey loves), Easley, Donald Jones, Roosevelt. Pretty good depth in my opinion. Plus, and this would be a HUGE factor with this team/organization, is the $. Lee is a highly paid WR. If Stevie has another productive year, he's going to get paid. A WR with #3 pick, even if there is a new rookie wage scale, is going to cost some big bucks, and more than they'll(hopefully) be willing to pay to one position.

Again, my opinion, 0% chance the Bills draft him at 3.

It's pretty common that a #1 RB gets into a starting lineup, or at least gets a goodly amount of playing time. That's pretty much the idea - spiff rookie rbs sell tickets. I recall folks saying how with his speed and moves, he could be used as a receiver. That didn't happen.

I'm sure they tried to get him in games, and justify the pick. My guess is they saw him in practice and determined that he wasn't quite what they thought.

Perhaps he will show better next season.

Re: I'm going out on a limb here...

My point in bringing up Spiller is because I expected the "Well Spiller wasn't a need last year and they still piked him" takes. Hopefully Spiller improves this season.
