    Slow? That's your knock?

    I'll take Upshaw at #10 without a doubt.

    LT was a big problem after Bell went down and he is a Free Agent. Even then Bell got beat a decent amount but early on Fitz was getting the ball out quickly.

    The LT spot needs plenty of help, the sacks allowed stat is a somewhat misleading with that.

    Do you think the lack of protection at LT by Buffalo was a bigger problem than the failure to get to opposing teams QBs?

    Pass rush may be the most glaring need, but part of that is attributed to the dumbass DC. LT is a huge need, unless Hairston can step up really quick, and I know there are some that believe he won't be able to unless it's on the right side.

    Well, Wanstadt has said the Bills need to put pressure on the QB. They need players to do that. The defense especially a pass rush is a much bigger need than the OL.

    Just watch who the Bills draft early........it won't be a LT.

    I'm not sure of any player who has great success in the SEC who is slow.

    I don't think Nix and Co. will give two thoughts about taking a LT at #10. They know their most glaring hole is getting to the QB.

    Buffalo was near the league leaders in least sacks allowed. Not sure why you would look to "fix" that "hole" when you have craters on the other side of the ball.

    Not disagreeing that they will, and should, go pass rush with their top pick if one is there but also don't want to downplay the need for a OT.

    Well, IMO, people calling for a LT in the 1st rnd are OVERPLAYING that need. I would take a CB or WR before a LT in the 1st. Both of those positions are a greater need than LT. If Bell is resigned, the Bills will be fine at LT. If they don't sign Bell, they can make do with who is on the team & a mid rnd pick.



    It is much harder to find anyone to rush the passer with consistency in the mid rnds than it is an OT.

    I think they are 1a and 1b in terms of need. I dont really value one higher than the other because both are so big.

    Well, I TOTALLY disagree with you. I think Bell gets resigned, but even if not, the Bills can make due. DE & OLB are the two positions of greatest need. After that CB & WR are a greater need than LT IMO.

    If they don't draft a pass rusher, who will do that? Merriman? Moats?
