    Bowers to meet with Bills

    Any questions about the knee injury suffered by the top NFL prospect Da'Quan Bowers should be answered by the April 28 draft.


    Bowers is scheduled to meet with seven of the teams with the top eight picks in the draft, according to a source close to the situation. The source said the meetings will take place after his April 1 pro day at Clemson.

    According to the source, Bowers will meet with Carolina (which picks No. 1 overall), Denver (No. 2), Buffalo (No. 3), Cincinnati (No. 4), Arizona (No. 5), Cleveland (No. 6) and Tennessee (No. 8).

    Can anyone take a guess as to which side of the ball Nix is putting his focus on? Certainly nice to see.

        Someone needs to tell them he doesn't fit their system and save them the time

              Im very curious to see how Bowers does at his Pro Day. Want to know if he has the speed and mobility to play OLB in a 3-4.

              If he can, then his value goes up quite a bit due to his scheme versatility. He would be an OLB for us in our 3-4 look and a legit 4-3 pass rushing end as well.

                  Per Source;
                  Bowers knee is fine and he's training without holding back now.



                  Clemson blue-chip defensive end Da'Quan Bowers' "knee is great," according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.

                  Per the source, Bowers has recovered from his surgery to repair a partially torn lateral meniscus from January and is set to perform at his April 1 Pro Day campus workout.

                  "All is good," the source said. "Is and has been training without limitation for a long time now."

                    Bowers can play 34 DE. He is tall enough, long enough, and can get bigger. Nix said he wants his DEs to be 280+ and Bowers could easily get bigger. Plus Bowers strongest part of his game is run defense.

                        Re: Bowers to meet with Bills

                        I truly think that Bowers is on the Bills very short list of third overall pick candidates:

                        Bowers, Cameron Jordan, Von Miller, Cam Newton.

                        Everything I hear is that the top priority at Bills brass is to get a guy who can get after the quarterback from the outside.

                        I have Newton's name in there as well because I think he, not Blaine Gabbert is their QB option to mull over at #3.

                        I know that NO ONE has Cameron Jordan rated as high as 3 on their boards, but I'm telling you this guy will go higher than people expect.

                          So you're saying Dareus is not on their short list?

                          If that's true then our FO is idiotic.

                            The team can't stop the run and their top priority is a pass rusher? Jordan does not strike me as a prolific pass rusher, more of a solid 3 down end.

                            I would be o.k. with Bowers if they switch to a 4-3.

                              I can't say that for sure because I honestly don't know and it would be foolish for me to claim otherwise.

                              But honestly, no I don't.

                              Dareus is a great player and he could play 3-4 end to replace Stroud, and probably better than Stroud ever did. But, we are going to play far more 4-3 than people talk about, and when that happens, is Dareus a 4-3 end? We'll already have Williams, Troup and Spencer Johnson insde (I'm told he's probably going back to DT as we'll be a hybrid defense)

                              Dareus for all his strengths isn't a great pass rusher, so all I'm saying is that based on what I been hearing pass rush up front is their top priority.. Nobody has ever told me Dareus isn't on any short list, that's my insertion.. Obviously could be wrong.

                              For the record, I sure as hell won't be complaining if we draft Dareus, but "reach" or not, I really like Cameron Jordan if they go the non-QB route.
