All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
on ESPN Mel Kiper did his top 10 and he has us taking Ngata with both Ferguson and Williams being gone before we are up...He has Ferguson going to the Jets, and Williams going to the Packers I believe...I have a feeling hes right. Id be happy with Ngata!
I know we need help on the D-Line but i dont know if anyone else watched the bowl game he played in against oklahoma??? I watched the game and i didnt see him make a play or stop the run once all game, also at the end of the game, he wasnt even in on 3rd and 4th downs. I dont know if he was tired or what but he didnt impress me at all.
DT can be filled in FA. With our pick we should be taking either Williams or Kiwanuka. We need get pressure on QBs. That being said, I dont see much talent at the DE position in FA, and even if there was its expensive, whereas a DT is much cheaper. If we get Ngata then who will our LDE be?...Kelsay has not got the job done.
I think you definitely take Mario Williams if hes there but i think the 8th pick would be too early to take Kiwanuka, Mel kiper has him as the 3rd DE in the draft behind Tamba Hali

Kiper has been wrong about ALOT of players. Remember when he thought Leaf was a better pick than Manning?
I also dont like Kiwanuka, because i watched the boise state game and i didnt see much, i would much rather wait a round or two and pick up manny lawson, this guy is a freak, but im sure his stock will rise after he cleans up at the combine
Yeah i agree, its still too early, alot of players stock will change after what they do at the combine. I would love to d'brick fall to us at 8
Anythng can happen on draft day man. Marv could pull something out of his ass and have us move up in the draft so we can snag a guy like Williams. I personally am against trading up because every draft pick is simply too much of a risk if you ask me.
I would personally rather see us go after a real OL myself.

If we pick either Ngata or Kiwanuka its goin to be a wasted pick. Ngata is big and has all the measurables but he looks incredibly incredibly soft as a player. He doesn't play with a mean streak at all. Kiwanuka is 260 pounds and 6'6. That is pretty light for a guy his height and will easily get driven off the ball in the NFL in the run game, just like he was in the Boise bowl game against an NFL caliber tackle in Colledge.
Manny Lawson is the other NC State DE who gets way overshadowed but he would not fill into the Bills schemes. He only weighs about 240 pounds as a DE and would have to adjust to moving to LB in the NFL whether its in a 4-3 or 3-4
