New Buffalo Bills CB Jairus Byrd (photo source)
With their third pick, No. 42 overall in the second round, the Buffalo Bills have selected Oregon CB Jairus Byrd.
We won't pretend we expected this pick. We were certain that the Bills would take a defensive back at some point in this draft with eight defensive backs approaching the close of their contracts in the next two years. Byrd, an early entrant measuring in at 5'10" and 207 pounds, protects against that probability - though in terms of immediate impact, it's difficult to expect much.
Byrd had a terrible pre-draft process. He timed slowly and underwhelmed at the Combine. But he produced well in the Pac-10, intercepting 17 passes in his three-year career, and is pretty athletic. He also has been productive as a punt returner at Oregon.
As mentioned, we won't say we expected this pick - but a defensive back was coming at some point. Byrd has proven to be a playmaker, but he'll only be a specialist and sub-package corner as a rookie. Strange pick - but it does offer a bit of value, particularly if the Bills try him at safety - an area the Bills need help at as well.
The Bills have exercised all three of their first-day selections. We're sure you'll want to vent on this pick, so have at it. Consider this your open thread for the rest of day one of the 2009 NFL Draft. Thanks for making Buffalo Rumblings your home for the day!

Brian,
Are they now looking to trade back into the 2nd with offering up Parrish and picks?

i don’t know if we should have gone with brown, but we SHOULD have picked up someone who will contribute this year. whether it was a SAM, unger, or whatever, i don’t think that this made any sense.

I think I've got to take a break from this
This pick made my head hurt. Instead of taking a guy with a first round grade (Brown) in the second round the Bills cleverly take a guy with no better than a 3rd round grade instead. It’s just disgusting.

Nothing like a 5th CB on the depth chart in round 2 when you have a ton of other holes still….

and he’s (Byrd) is one of the top 3 zone coverage corners in the draft……SOOOOOO if the team was gonna take a CB he was the best one to get that was still available.

Because we have holes at TE, LB, and OT and a day 1 impact player was needed in at least one of those spots. We don’t have a hole at CB, that should have been addressed later.

You don’t need to be fast to be a returner, just agile with a good burst, and Byrd is that… but his 4.68 leads me to think he’ll be a safety… Bye bye Ko Simpson.

Here is Chris Brown on Wood.
Eric Wood was a late riser up the draft. With Mack off the board the run on centers was on. The Bills see Wood as a guard for them, though he offers them depth at center behind Hangartner. What I like about him is he’s got some nasty to his game. He likes finishing people on blocks.
The guy had over 180 knockdowns his last two seasons. Buffalo had their eye on him early and had a personal interview with him at the combine.
"I was really impressed with them and I left the meeting feeling really good," said Wood. "When I saw them at 28 and I got the call there was no better feeling than that."

A classic Dick Jauron-move – hopeless value. Unless they view him as a safety, this pick is the worst in recent memory from the Bills.
I’m glad this is Jauron’s and Modrak’s last season in Buffalo, because they’re both clueless.

So much more upside. And coupled with Maybin, they wouldn’t have needed to pick an outside LB. They could have been interchangeable at DE and OLB.

We could have took Cushing round 1 still got Wood and then Took Brown in round 2 and really filled holes. OLB, O-line and DE. We really need a new raft crew.

With all due respect...
The problem with the Bills defense last year was NOT with defensive backs. Adding pass rush will instantly make “McCoverage” look better. The only thing I can think was going through their head were the soon to be expiring contract of some of the other DB’s (as noted above) or they think Byrd can get on the field at another position. Personally, I was hoping they would take Beatty or one of the remaining TE’s.

NFL.com
Analysis
Positives: Well-built athlete. … Good initial jam at the line of scrimmage. … Loose hips to turn and run with the receiver. … Can shadow the receiver due to very good lateral quickness and the ability to plant and go out of his cuts. … Late explosive burst to close on the ball. … Gets his hands on a lot of passes. … Natural playmaker with soft hands for the interception. … Times leaps well and can snatch the ball out of the air. … Good body control to make the catch outside of his frame. … Natural with the ball in his hands. … Good feel for the return. … Good vision to set up blocks. … Good agility and has a quick burst to accelerate. … Reliable open-field tackler. … Breaks down in space well and wraps his arms securely. … Willing to come up in run support. … Good bloodlines. … Father Gill Byrd was a two-time Pro Bowl cornerback with San Diego and recently served as Chicago Bears DBs coach.
Negatives: More quick than he is fast. … May lack the straight-line speed for a traditional man-to-man scheme. … Can be grabby in coverage, likely to lead to pass interference penalties in the NFL. … Reliable open-field tackler, but isn’t an intimidating hitter. … Assisted by an aggressive pass rush and a veteran secondary at Oregon.

OK
and how often do those guys play?
Corner won’t see the field this year either. Unless Byrd is a starting safety all of a sudden, he won’t be ahead of Scott, and likely Wilson either.

Unless he is going to be our new SS full time from the gate, this pick was wasted for this season trying to save DJs job

From Chris Brown
Buffalo addressed their secondary for the first time in the draft in round two using their 42nd overall selection on Oregon defensive back Jairus Byrd. Second all-time in Oregon history with 17 career interceptions, Byrd also ranked fourth in school annals with 53 pass breakups.
Byrd played most of his career as a coverage cornerback for the Ducks, but could project to free safety in the NFL.

Gives you a play maker in center field and then you have two safeties who have good cover skills.

Weaknesses from MtD
Doesn’t have great deep speed and struggles some against quick and agile receivers. Not great recovery speed and will get in trouble when his jam doesn’t work.Will get in trouble at the next level if he is asked to matchup against receivers similar to Eddie Royal of the Broncos and DeSean Jackson of the Eagles.

You can never have too many CBs. I think he will turn out to be a good pick. The Bills don’t have a ballhawking defense that guys a ton of picks, and this guy does.

You can never have enough pass rushers either….

Levitre!
I think it’s official, Butler is moving to Tackle.

He’s a tackle right? I thought our O line has a lot of depth now
by billsct11 on Apr 25, 2009 9:02 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
We just traded for Dallas' pick. Andy Levitre, OG
Really glad they’re fortifying this position, but uh…what about a tackle?
There’s not a single player who can play tackle available in this second round?
by Dyl on Apr 25, 2009 9:02 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Well...
I said it earlier about Unger. But, now i say it about levitre…..They might move Butler outside. Brian, your thoughts?

Good pick, I wonder what we gave up
Ok heres what I think our line will look like this year
Walker – Levitre – Hangartner – Wood – Butler
by CanadianBillsFan on Apr 25, 2009 9:02 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I am really really really confused
This makes no sense to me, why not take him at 42 then?!?!?!?
If the Bills were a drug, I could only hope they were like speed so I could lose some weight as well.
