I know this is kind of early but do you think the BILLS would draft

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

91 Hali, Tamba DE Sr./Sr. 6-3 267

Hali brings tremendous athleticism, attitude and toughness to the D-Line and will be counted on for leadership and consistently productive play. He has very good size and strength and has the ability to be a dominant physical presence. His quickness and instincts also give him the opportunity to consistently deliver big plays and he wears down opposing defenses with an engine and desire that never quits.

Re: I know this is kind of early but do you think the BILLS would draft

I'm not draftnit but i do know we are solid at DE with Denney in reserves. Kelsay has panned out for us, & Schobel is above average. If we had the extra pick then sure.
-But we need DT/NT- Unless Anderson gets it going, but IMO i would love to see us land a Henderson type early. The difference between a early 1st round
DT is they take less time to pan out, where a 3rd rounder or lower takes 2 or more seasons to be that effective barring a miracle of course :)
-FS-- If there's a top notch FS available like a Sean Taylor, that would be a great help to our D. regardless that we have Vincent..
-RB if we play hardball with WM, then we will need a starter or a backup for Shaud Williams. Again that's only if we keep Willis at his small contract & he holds out etc or we trade him
-QB- I'm cool as long as we draft a QB next year. We need the depth.
- TE I know we took the UM kid last year but we need a gamebreaker. After watching all these other TE's rip it up, i always think how we don't have anything close to that with Cambell.....

After help on the lines, we need to get younger in the middle of the defense.

Rd 1 - Haloti Ngata DT Oregon (an academic senior with a year of eligibility)
Rd 2 - Davin Joseph G/T Oklahoma
Rd 3 - Bernard Pollard SS Perdue (junior)
Rd 3 - Anthony Schlegel LB Ohio State

Re: I know this is kind of early but do you think the BILLS would draft

I mentionned this guy in a previous thread, he is a dominant player for sure, which is what would separate him from guys like schobel and kelsay, they are streaky players that can show flashes at times but otherwise inconsistent, Hali would offer more of a Freeney type of player on the D-line, would be a great pick.

Williams is a converted safety who will probably return to that position in the NFL. He's an incredible athlete and seemed to take to CB well, but one big reason he is so highly regarded is that the CB position is incredibly weak this draft. Teams who desperately need CB help will be reaching in the first round.

Scott is a nice prospect, but there is too much talent at OT to justify paying another 1st round tackle salary. There are possibly 10 or more OT's in this draft that could come in and start for Buffalo right away. This list is sick:

D’Brickshaw Ferguson,Virginia
Marcus McNeil, Auburn
Jonathan Scott, Texas
Eric Winston, Miami FL
Andrew Whitworth, LSU
Justin Blalock, Texas
Daryn Colledge, Boise State
Winston Justice, USC
Adam Stenavich, Michigan
Jeremy Trueblood, Boston College
Derek Morris, NC State
Zach Strief, Northwestern
Jami Hightower, Texas A & M
Jabari Levey, South Carolina
Mark Levoir, Notre Dame
Troy Reddick, Auburn

There are going to be tackles dropping like flies in this draft.

Re: I know this is kind of early but do you think the BILLS would draft

Here is a short list of first round prospects I would be very happy with:
Mathias Kiwanuka, DE Boston College
Mario Williams, DE NC State
Haloti Ngata, DT Oregon
Rodrique Wright, DT Texas
Ahmad Brooks, LB Virginia
AJ Hawk, LB Ohio State
Abdul Hodge, LB Iowa

2nd:
Max Jean Gilles, G/T Georgia
Davin Joseph, G/T Oklahoma
Charles Spencer, G/T Pitt
Darryn Colledge, OT Boise State
Jeremy Trueblood, OT Boston College
Alan Zemaitis, CB Penn State
Orrien Harris, DT Miami

I saw them pofile this mammoth DT the other night I wish I could remember who it was. This kid was all over the place, very athletic and strong.

Re: I know this is kind of early but do you think the BILLS would draft

There is an obvious dropoff to Hali after Kiwanuka and Mario Williams, but if he was available in round 2, I'd take him.

Do you remember the team?

Re: I know this is kind of early but do you think the BILLS would draft

No but I think it might be Wright from TX.

Re: I know this is kind of early but do you think the BILLS would draft

IMO if we traded Clements and with our first rounders picked up a DT/CB/OL then addressed 1-2 spots in FA we might be good to go.

Re: I know this is kind of early but do you think the BILLS would draft

If Buffalo drafts high enough, it might be Rodrique Wright. I'm counting on Peters developing into a solid tackle by next year, so I'm thinking Wright or Ngata. I understand Ngata might be a health risk (knees), but I think he has even more upside than Wright.

As long as were drafting OL/DL I dont care who we pick up.
