2009 NFL Draft at Rumblings: Day Two Open Thread

Welcome to Buffalo Rumblings' coverage of day two of the 2009 NFL Draft! Today's festivities begin at 10AM, roughly an hour from now, and will include the final five rounds - three through seven - of this year's draft.
The Buffalo Bills had an... is 'interesting' the right word?... start to the draft on day one when they added four prospects that few saw coming. The good news - the Bills have drafted at least two starters (guards Eric Wood and Andy Levitre), a serious contributor to the pass rush (DE Aaron Maybin) and a player that could potentially start at free safety on opening day (DB Jairus Byrd). The bad news - the Bills still have glaring holes at tight end and linebacker to address. Day One Recap
Buffalo traded its third-round pick, No. 75 overall, to the Dallas Cowboys in order to move back into the second round to pick Levitre. Therefore, the Bills currently only have four picks throughout the remaining five rounds of the draft and won't pick today until No. 121 in the fourth round. So we've got some time to kill.
We mentioned the continued need for a linebacker and a tight end. One other place to keep your ears peeled today is the trade market. WR Roscoe Parrish, DE Chris Kelsay and FS Ko Simpson have all been mentioned as being on the trade market in recent weeks, and especially in the case of the explosive Parrish, the Bills may be able to pick up an extra selection today via trade.
Just as we did yesterday, we'll have new posts up for each newsworthy item related to the Bills today. In the meantime, this is your spot to discuss the early portions of today's proceedings. Thanks for stopping by, and we'll see you in the comments section!

Back in the 3rd Round
With Cook and Neilson still being availble the bills need to find a way back into round 3. After steping back and looking at Day 1, we have addresses several holes. Drafting Byrd to play Free Safety may have not addressed a need although we may look back in a few years and say it was a great pick.
If I am at OBD I find a way to draft one of the TE’s that are available. Maybe Roscoe and either a 4th or 5th will get the Bills back into position. I don’t like the chances of finding an impact player at 121.

How would the line look if Levitre was one of the starters? It didn’t sound in the press conference like they had a specific spot for him…. just depth for the tackles and guards.
On the other hand, I got the impression Byrd could start fairly quick at FS.

We Need Tight end.
ANd most definatley not the dregs of the position that will be available in the late 4th. trade up guys, salvage this draft.

You're kind of reaching on Byrd
If Byrd plays FS and the Bills are happy with Scott’s play at SS where does Whitner go?
by Ron From NM on Apr 26, 2009 9:16 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
You’ve got it backwards. Whitner will start, period. At strong safety. Byrd could start at free, and they’ll use Scott frequently as well. They mix and match their DBs all the time. Now they’ve got a playmaker to work with.

Whitner better at FS?
I agree that the combination of Scott and Whitner did a solid job. I don’t think Donte is a great SS. I believe his skill set would be better at FS. I thought Scott did a solid job on some of the top TE’s in the league and did a solid job in run support. I think it was an area that didn’t need to be addresses so early.
by Northern Bills on Apr 26, 2009 9:21 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
In this scheme, the difference b/w FS and SS is negligible. I completely agree with you that Whitner should spend more time back in coverage than he does in the box; I’ve been saying the same for two years. But just because he’s playing “SS” doesn’t mean he won’t do some of that. I’m OK keeping Donte where he is if it means we’re starting an actual playmaker at safety. I REALLY hope Byrd is that guy.

Evaluation
Has anyon evaluated Whitner’s play at SS versus Scott’s. I was just very impressed with Scott last year. I think Brian has it correct when he says Whitner will move to SS, but I question this. Wasn’t it OBD who moved Whitner from SS to FS in hopes of him showing his first round talent (playmaker). I disagree with Brian, I think this is a moderate indictmetn on Whitner. He did not show playmaking ability at FS last year and will now be moved back to SS, where I actually think Scott outplayed him. He looks like what we thought he was when he was drafted, a reach, and not a top-notch talent.

Might be a good idea to move some of this discussion to the thread below; this is going to get cluttered fast, and we’re still a half-hour away from the start of round three.

Brian's Correct
I am not above admitting my ignorance, Brian is correct on the FS and SS not being much different on the cover 2.
The two safeties are responsible for covering their respective halves of the field from 20 yards out and more. The safeties in the system are expected to be above-average cover men with the ability to break up passes, but each safety also is expected to have additional specific skills. The strong safeties, while not expected to be great tacklers, are expected to be hard hitters. The hard hitting strong safety protects the middle of the field from being exploited by small, fast receivers, and running backs on wheel routes, by intimidating them to not run their routes in that direction. The free safety will be called upon to do one of two things in certain situations, either blitz the quarterback, requiring him to have the skills necessary to beat a blocking halfback or fullback, or to assume the coverage zone left by a blitzing cornerback.

After a day to let things settle in my head......
I have looked over the Bills draft and I am now, to this point anyhow, comfortable with what OBD did on day one. As disappointed as I was with them reaching, imo, for Maybin @ #11, I am very very pleased with the drafting of Wood and Levitre. With Wood and Levitre added to the O-line mix I feel it helped solidify a glaring need of the Bills. As mentioned yesterday I just have a feeling they will move Butler outside to the RT spot where he played in college. If that is the move they make and they put Wood at LG, Hanger CTR, and Levitre earns the RG spot, MAN, that gets me excited. It could be one of the meanest lines in football….in a year or two of course. The jury is still out on the Byrd pick, but, being that I dont know as much about him I cant speculate any further. I was disappointed in them taking a cb that early, but, if they plan on moving him to FS, I can now see their reasoning behind making that move.
All in all, I am happier today than I was yesterday. I have officially stepped back from that ledge I was on. :-)

Glaring needs
This was my contention when we traded Peters. OBD did not have the foresight to understand that trading away Peters, releasing Dockery, releasing Royal, letting Crowell walk, etc. created just far too many holes to be filled.
Honestly, past Pettigrew, I am not thrilled with any of the TE’s out there. I think I would be much happier with OBD picking up one off the waiver wire or counting on Fine.
As for LB’s unless we move up to get someone like Freeman from OSU, I don’t think any of the other options are better than Ellison. I again think the waiver wire for a veteran OLB would be a better option.
You (Brian) leave out the most glaring need, and that is LT. We do not have a LT on the roster. I am O.K. now with not taking Oher, I read too much hype. Gerinomo’s take and the fact that he dropped so much proved to me there was something fishy there (where there’s smoke there’s fire).
Having said that, the main reason we will have issues this upcoming season will not be because of our LB’s or our TE’s, it will be because of people blowing up whomever (probably Walker) fills in at LT. I am starting to love our interior, and don’t get me wrong, I actually was warming up to walker at RT, he just is not a LT.

Yeah, I’ll agree that Walker at LT is… risky. But since J. Smith/Monroe/A. Smith were already gone when the Bills picked, there really wasn’t an OT (that OBD liked) that could come in and be an immediate starter on the left side. It’s a weakness, but not something the Bills could fix unless Andre had slid. LT should be on the long-term priority list, and hopefully Bell continues to develop. But I’m OK with Walker knowing that he’s a smart guy and knowing how sturdy a blocker Fine is.

I am glad they didn't take Oher
He seems like a head case, especially his comments about being the best OT… I am really glad that our FO kept to their board.

Byrd is old friends with Fewell...
…and it looks like the Bills wanted someone in the secondary that can actually catch a football, but there were too many other holes to fill at that spot.

Roscoe
I do know that we aggressively marketed Roscoe yesterday—both in our attempts to move up to get Pettigrew and again in the move to get Levitre. No bites. Perhaps with the stakes lower today—they’ll have better luck. As for LT and the need to get a developmental guy—I don’t think anybody left has more promise than they think Bell does. I think, unless something totally unexpected comes up—we need to just accept it’s going to be Walker. Quick—who played LT for the Super Bowl Cardinals??? Mike frigging Gandy that’s who. Uggggh. I KNOW its s critical position, but it’s not like we have a total zero there.
Geronimo
by Geronimo on Apr 26, 2009 9:35 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
I will just accept Walker right now. I am with you on Bell, but people shouldn’t get too excited for him to move to LT this year, won’t happen. Butler won’t play LT either, as they moved him inside because he wasn’t very athletic.
The Cardinals and Gandy, I have said that before. In retrospect, I actually think that providing enough options to Trent allows them not to keep as many defenders in the box. This could be why the Cardinals were so successful with a mediocre (at best) line.

What I don’t understand is that when OBD was convinced (probably early on) that they were not going to be able to renegotiate with Peters they didn’t move quicker to trade him so they could fill the whole in FA (Pace, etc..

Tackle vs Interior
I do know that tackles are generally drafted higher than interior linemen, and that tackels are usually a safe pick, but does anyone know the success rate of high round picks at tackle vs guard and which position is ready to start faster?
Regardless of which specific line position is drafted, I like the fact that the O-line is now a lot more versatile. One of these picks may not be ready day one. One of the veterans may have accelerated or decelerated their development more than expected. This draft speaks to those variables.

So who do the Bills pick at 121?
or do they trade back into the third round and take an OT, LB or TE?
Round 4, Pick 21 (121) (From Eagles)
Round 5, Pick 11 (147)
Round 6, Pick 10 (183)
Round 7, Pick 11 (220)

Brilliant
This year’s crop of Center/Guards was quite deep and OBD got in my opinion 2 of the top 3 interior linemen – not bad at all for a days work. While other teams were looking at the 4-5th best tackles, we were lucky enough to be stocking up on potentially great interior linemen. Last year we were pathetic at Center. We play in a division with really great NTs and being able to solidify the line interior the way we did was an incredible job.

I think that if you rounded up all the experts and asked them to list the top five interior linemen in this draft, Levitre and Wood would be on every list.

I think are 2 pressing needs now are TE and LB in that order. Believe it or not I think if we can make a trade for another 4th rounder with Parrish or Krlsey, I think we can get both in the fourth round. Lets see who slides. After all, who thought Everett Brown, William Beatty or Ray Magleuga would fall as far as they did.

Common trend so far
A lot of the name-recognized players are being passed on so far in the 3rd round. A lot of the picks so far today have been graded in the 30s and 40s by Scouts, Inc. Just goes to show you that the media scouts and the real NFL scouts live in two different worlds, and you really can’t judge a draft until at least 2-3 years later.

We are well into the 3rd round and only two TE’s have been taken. And one of them is Richard Quinn. Looks like most teams aren’t valuing the more one dimensional pass catching tight ends very highly.

He is a good PR, but what has he ever done as a WR. I really feel like the Bills can get good punt returning out of McKelvin/ Jackson/ and now Byrd. Parrish is an overpaid player that this team doesn’t need.

They're talking about Crabtree on ESPN right now
I have to wonder, had the 49ers passed on him, what would the Bills have done? Take him? Trade down? – I’m sure there were teams that would’ve loved to move up for him but maybe that’s a wrong assumption on my part. Or still take Maybin? (assuming the 49ers hadn’t taken him already)
by Renegade23 on Apr 26, 2009 11:03 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

There are still a ton of pass catching TEs and tackling machine outside linebackers left. I’m not sure if they will need to move back into the 3rd round to grab one of those guys, but guys like McKenzie left at LB and a ton of TEs. I know a lot of people are somewhat mad about the last two picks, but they are showing that they realize that you have to build a team from in the trenches and thats what their doing. A solid o-line is the key to it all.
I always look at the Giants as a comparison. No offense to Manning fans out there, but I don’t think he’s very good, and with the solid line that they boast, Manning was an All-Pro and the running attack was unstoppable. Good picks if you ask me, and finally 2 playmakers on defense. This wasnt going to be a flashy draft anyway.

Does anyone else think we should trade Ko Simpson to move back in. I’m not a huge fan of Kelsay’s production/Kelsey’s contract, and I feel similar about Roscoe. But I think they are a lot more valuable to our team than Ko Simpson. With the drafting of Byrd in the 2nd round may say that they are getting rid of Ko.

As everyone can see, all it takes are two teams to take a player in a given position for their to be a “run” on any position. I would get my hopes up on a choice of TEs being there at the end of round 4. I can see a run on TEs starting at Philly with pick 27 in round 3.

Why don't the Bills just say the position they least respect is the TE and get it over with?

easy fella, there are still some players in this draft that can help
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

They have drafted every position on their team within the first three rounds for the last five years EXCEPT for the TE. Look it up.

Guy don’t have to be a 1, 2 or 3 round pick in order to be good.

Yeah they’ve definitely proved that one with the impressive roster of late drafted TEs we’ve had. The best late pick TE we had became our left tackle LOL

sarcasm. I get this way every draft. It’s the only way I can cope. Can I get a hug
by telka on Apr 26, 2009 12:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yea I guess that is true….they must not be too high on TE’s. I still think it would be nice to get someone down the middle of the field. As far as security blanket Trent has a ton of them now, in dump off guys like Rhodes, Jackson, Lynch, and the Dereks. Reed is good underneath as well. I guess they don’t like TE’s playin a major role in the passing game.

you know.........Erin Andrews is my number 1 pick.......
but Rachel Nichols is someone I would pick up in the 2nd

Into the 4th round
TE: Nelson, Casey, Ingram
LB: Freeman, Follett
OT: Meredith
DE: Sidbury
I think Chip Vaughn is still out there too…could have gone the SS route, oh well.

We can’t be overly upset with the Bills draft because especially in the 3rd round, there have been guys “rated much lower” that have been drafted in spots where they supposedly don’t fit. We all (including myself) get brainwashed by guys like McShay and Kiper…when they are wrong a lot of the time.

I have a feeling the Bills will pick ILB Jason Phillips from TCU….

We need to find a way to trade up to get Nelson

anyone else expecting another completely random pick?
by billsct11 on Apr 26, 2009 12:24 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
YES... I was just thinking that.
I bet Nelson, Casey and Ingram will be on the board and we will draft a RB or something b/c they had him as the best available LOL
by hilliarddavid on Apr 26, 2009 12:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
They won’t pick Nelson, or any other guy that we would like. We will more then likely have never heard of the guy the Bills pick

Cowboys still have 2 4th rounders
and haven’t address WR/KR yet….Could a trade for Roscoe be percolating??
I doubt it since one is our original 4th rounder…..
