    Will BUF draft a DT?

    They show K. Williams, M. Dareus, A. Branch (as a DE), and youngsters C. Bryant and S. Charles.

    Starter K. Williams is going into his 1oth season.

    I'm just being curious - is there a need, or do you think they are set?

    I'd take a chance on Deandre Coleman in Round 5.

    No, not at 9 for sure. I was thinking the same - later rounds. I guess I should have been more clear on that - thanks.

    Decent write-up on him. Could be a decent project.

    Here is the thing I will say. Kyle Williams really helps this defense because of his penetration style and he is not getting any younger.

    Donald from Pitt is an amazing athlete and could be the eventual replacement to Kyle Williams.

    If Greg Robinson, Mike Evans, Jake Matthews, Mack are all gone I would not have a problem with this.

    If the OL you need isn't there, go get a DT with you first pick.

    I think a #9 pick of a DT would be a luxury for them. I'm prepared to be surprised, though. BUF fans aren't the only ones around the nation who bug out their eyes at the team's picks the last ten years or so.

    Knowing how much Dareus has struggled against the run and with Williams age, I wouldn't be surprised to see a DT in round 2 selected.

    Also I could be wrong but Dareus could be a free agent after this year.

    Nix is a bad fit for this D. Asking him to penetrate and move laterally is playing against his strengths.

    Yep. Tim Jernigan, Aaron Donald, Will Sutton, Kelsey Quarles, Dom Easley in no particular draft order, seem a better fit.

    Easley is a stud... If he played all year he is a top 20 pick..
    Could be the steal of the draft

    Re: Will BUF draft a DT?

    I doubt the Bills see it as a need at all, but if there is a player they like who has fallen to where they think he's a compelling value, they could pull the trigger. I don't think they go into the draft targeting any DTs.
    I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

    I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

    Outside of the wife 9 crap... which to my understanding is only in predictable passing downs... what is this D?

    i do know that the biggest weakness this defense has had over the last decade is our total inability to stop the run.

    Spikes helps that... Nix slams the door.

    an interior rotation of Dareus, Williams and Nix sounds very healthy to me.

    also... although I agree with your assessment about sideline to sideline, I disagree that he can't attack gaps. Realizing he's limited to the 0 or 1 tech... He can certainly attack and although he's not a sack guy... Hands in passing lanes is one of his strengths.

    i think he compliments this defense very well.

    Oh god you were praying for this thread and the opportunity to talk about how you are the only person in the world who currently thinks Dareus is irredeemable ****.

    I worry a little about his size. Short frame with short arms.

    A 4-3 base D that will ask its DL to penetrate and make plays in the backfield.

    I didn't say he can't attack gaps, I said it would play against his strengths. You don't take a player just to use in a way that he is not the best at doing. That's asking to draft a bust.
