bumbling buddy nix strikes again!

[bf1]

Ignore needs and pick at a position of least need. Resign Florence and you don't need to replace him.

[BillsOwnAll]

Did you watch the games last year? Our defense had a strong point?

[Philagape]

Florence will turn 31 this season. He should not be a factor.

[don137]

Florence is a free agent and McGee is getting older and has been injury prone. Need to make a move before it can soon become a weakness

[BILLSROCK1212]

gosh...this board is full of a bunch of whiners...if we picked a WR or RB then you could complain...this was a solid pick...nothing sexy, but solid

[psubills62]

Ignore needs? We don't need a CB?

What people don't seem to get is that just because Jauron picked a lot of DB's doesn't mean he was any good at it. We are thin at the position and need some competition there.

[Night Train]

He starts at Safety, drooler.

you're bumbling bf1

[mrbojanglezs]

ignore needs?? this was a pure need pick

[DrGraves]

come back and defend your thread bf1...

[Ebenezer]

not a need?? The Bills have two quality DBs..both safeties...Byrd, a starter and Wilson, a back up. They have nobody on this roster that is an NFL quality starter and few that are qualified to be backups.

[Ebenezer]

come back and defend your thread bf1...
this is just bf1 being bf1.

[Bangarang]

Florence - free agent
Youboty- free agent
Whitner - free agent
McGee - made of glass, aging
McKelvin - inconsistent

Please explain how it's not a need? Again, we get a player of need that is probably BPA. Can't understand how people hate this pick?

he wanted to take his shot at calling Nix bumbling. Couldn't do it with the Dareus pick and so he thought he could do it with this pick but it's turning out he has no leg to stand on as well.

[Ebenezer]

Your silly.
you're.....just saying.

[Billsouth]

This is the worst thread ever posted on BZ!

[HHURRICANE]

I hate the pick.

How many picks dedicated to the secondary have we made over the last several years?

This guy didn't have a great season last year either.

The secondary wouldn't have to be that good if we could ever get to the QB. Address this and the secondary looks better immediately no matter who is back there.

since 2003 (nine drafts)

10 DBs
3 QBs
7 WRs
6 RBs

you play:
4 or 5 or even 6 DBs
1 QB
2 or 3 WRs
1 RB
on any given play

...something tells me they haven't picked ENOUGH DBs over the years.

[bf1]

Back from dinner with family. Regarding darius , how the f can you mess up a #3 pick. It's. Not like bumbling buddy orchestrated something magnificent .

Regarding needs how about lb or te which for all intents and purposes we have None

they have no DBs either...the team was in a no win situation...they could have taken a LB and people would have *****ed about DB or TE...

[bf1]

Resign Florence done. No need. Smacks of jabari Greer. Keep people. Except liabilities like Kelsey and poz

[mikemac2001]

Nix is soooooooo bad

bf1 is sooooooooo good

[Ebenezer]

Keeping Florence gives you exactly 1 CB; have to have two. McGee is shot, McKelvin sucks and the rest are barely back-ups. There is also no way to predict what a new CBA will bring. They might not even have a chance to keep him.

[Luisito23]

I really wanted Bowers, and thought he was a crazy steal in the 2nd. but we could of done a lot worst than Aaron Williams.

[BertSquirtgum]

sorry pal this was a good pick. 5 cbs on roster, 2 fa's and one who hasnt played a full season since 03 his rookie season.

You do know that Williams will be starting at SS, getting rid of Whitner...right?

[Ebenezer]

Blazing 4.5 speed, lol...

Oh we've picked enough.

We pick em.

We groom em.

We refuse to pay em.

They take the money and run.

[mysticsoto]

Don't jump to conclusions. We could still sign Florence (and I hope we do). But this might help with not overpaying him $$$. If so, Williams might be targeted toward improving our safeties (Whitner) who has been sub par or barely adequate.

[tampabay25690]

SOme of you make me laugh...

Sucks when the Bills get to draft a guy that should have been gone in the mid 20's.......Great value and a NEED for this team......

Nice pick......

[Danny Duberstein]

CB/SS isn't a need?

What team did you watch last year?

theres no CBA. Do you know for sure that Florence will sign here or go elsewhere? please cite your sources.

[justasportsfan]

you havent done a good job convincing anyone that db is not a need.

[Historian]

CB/SS isn't a need?

I'm with bf1.

Its not our defensive backs' fault.

They were too busy tackling running backs in the secondary.

I was hoping for Bowers at 34. That being said, I like the LSU linebacker, and at least 34 was a defensive pick...as opposed to reaching for a tight end or a 5' 2" wide receiver that runs a 3.9 in the 40.

Again, I don't mind using the entire draft on defense.

[tampabay25690]

You are kidding right????
So you think are CB's are Great???
D Florence gets burned every game.
McKelvin is getting better, McGee is shot.....

I understand where some of you are coming from.....
But how do u pass on a guy that probably had a 1st round grade for the Bills???
We got better with that pick.....
AT least we didnt draft a RB

[mikemac2001]

So with our first 3 picks we improved all three layers of our d


Seems like buddy is just guessing out there

Or maybe they said we need all positions on d take the best player in these positions at our draft spot

[SquishDaFish]

Its funny how we are getting praise from the expert but one or two bumbling fools around here think it was a bad pick. :roflmao:

[TacklingDummy]

This is the type of thread BF1 hopes to bring up in 2 years and throw in your faces.

[Blacksheep71]

If we don't resign Florence and McGee continues his injury record, do you want us starting McKelvin and Corner?

Aaron Williams was an excellent pick at No34.

We might have picked a bench riding QB but we need our R2 selection playing. We could have taken someone like Brook Reed but we've got a number of OLBs on the roster and can still go after the likes of Sam Acho. At TE Luke Stocker and Jordan Cameron are still there but Gailey doesn't often use TEs

CB is a need and if you consider the quality of CBs v ILBs v OLBs at No66, Nix was right to go after CB at No34.

Williams can be a Day1 starter IMO

pass defense starts with pass rush

our 3-4 is missing the most important pieces

OLB we need 2 of them

[Spiderweb]

OLB we need 2 of them

When Buffalo had a successful 3-4, we had one of the all-time best pass rushing DE's in Bruce, and two good OLB's in Bennett and Talley.

3-4's with weak OLB's and no pass rush? Just watch our current Bills.

[EDS]

In hindsight Brooks Reed or Akeem Ayers would have been great picks.

Lack of talent at OLB has been a huge problem for years and only upgrades have been some 6th round draft picks and a broken down Merriman.

[Pinkerton Security]

LOL i love how people have nothing better to do than dig up old threads where they were right for once. congrats, BF1, you deserve it!

[Maximilli]

Drafting corners don't mean **** if u cant get pass rush and thats coaching not players

[EDS]

Drafting corners don't mean **** if u cant get pass rush and thats coaching not players

A lesson the Bills organization has not learned in many, many years.

[DesertFox24]

What has Ayers or Brooks Reed done?

Aaron Williams was considered the 3 or 4th best corner and fits our style of big tall physical corners.

Look at the Jets they show you what good corners can do. Now we do not have any Revis but maybe williams and our guys can be as good as their other guys. We already have better Safety than them.

[bf1]

How does San Fran turn it around quickly and Bills in constant 5 year rebuilding plans. This one in year 3 with Nix involved.

[DesertFox24]

How does San Fran turn it around quickly and Bills in constant 5 year rebuilding plans. This one in year 3 with Nix involved.

Nix joined in February of 2009 he had very little input to the scouting of the 2009 draft and was more than likely getting an early start on the 2010 class.

The 2010 and later classes are his and will be what he is judged by.

San Fran is a good team but also a product of that horrible division. They also have a very good defense which helps their offense out, much like the Jets.

We have not had a good defense since 2003 so we are behind the eight ball.

Also we changed our defensive philosophy completely where San Fran is still running a 34. They added a competent Offensive mind to run the show.

Like I said since day one of Nix and Gailey 2012 is the season that I will judge them by.

[better days]

How does San Fran turn it around quickly and Bills in constant 5 year rebuilding plans. This one in year 3 with Nix involved.

The 49ers have had the talent but TERRIBLE coaching. If they did not have good players, then Harbaugh would not have been able to turn that team around so fast.

Next year, the Bills will have talent to compete, but they play in a MUCH HARDER Division than the 49ers so they still may have a hard time making the playoffs.

[Ickybaluky]

How does San Fran turn it around quickly and Bills in constant 5 year rebuilding plans. This one in year 3 with Nix involved.

They returned most of a pretty good defensive core. They may have the best front-7 in the NFL, and Justin Smith may be in the best defensive player in the NFL nobody talks about. Their LB group is awesome. That, along with a pounding running attack and play action game on offense, has been the key to their success.

I might add that the Chargers drafted very well while Nix was the head scout there. I heard some experts talking about the Chargers recent decline & they blamed poor drafting the last 3-4 years as the reason. Nix left the Chargers 4 years ago. Coincidence? I think not.

Show me where I said that. I don't think I ever did. I did not want the Bills to trade for Lloyd because he is 30 years old & only had ONE good year. That would have been a WASTE of a draft pick.

I would rather wait until the draft & hope to get lucky & find a young guy that can help the team for years rather than waste it on an OLD mediocre player.

Yeah he has more yards than Stevie, but ok he is still an one year wonder. I guess a 6th round pick must be very valuable to you.

[better days]

Well aside from being the #1 receiver on the Rams, he is about the ONLY receiver they have that is any good at all.

Add to that the fact the Rams pass the ball more than most teams & have had to pass even more because they are always playing from behind.

Also Lloyd only has 2 TD's for the Rams. 1 more than Jones has for the Bills.

Lloyd only needs 9 more catches this year & the draft pick becomes a 5th rnd pick, not a 6th. He should get that don't you think?

Add in the fact he is in the final year of his contract, & will be a FA next year & his age & I would rather have that 5th rnd pick myself.

[kingJofNYC]

Too bad Buddy has not drafted well with the Bills.

'11 draft is looking good, we may get 3 starters out of it.

People need to realize that while Nix made the decisions for the '10 draft, it wasn't his scouts who graded everyone. By the time Nix got here, the workups for the '10 draft were pretty much complete, it was Modrak and Co who put it together.

A year later Nix cleans house and brings in his own people, the '12 draft is his and his alone. Lets see if the new guys are better than the old.

[kingJofNYC]

Nix was with the Bills for more than a year before the 2010 draft.

Nix was hired in January of '09 as a a National Scout, so he had little to no impact on the '09 draft which is actually looking like one of our best drafts in years, even with the Maybin pick. Again Modrack had much more say than Nix did, Modrak hired all of the Scouts up until that point. Nix worked under Modrak until late in '09 when he was hired as GM.

Like I said, this is Nix show now, but I wouldn't say that was the case the last couple of years.
