2009 NFL Draft at Rumblings: Day Two Open Thread

PrintWelcome 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.
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?
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.

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.

Whitner officially becomes another first round bust...
…after spending the majority if time on the bench during the second half of the season.
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.

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
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.

OBD
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)
trade back to get Nelson
and bring in Leroy Hill to fill our SAM hole
Your ability to control the LOS is directly linked to your ability to win football games!
FEED the BEAST!
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.
Your ability to control the LOS is directly linked to your ability to win football games!
FEED the BEAST!
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.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
For sure.
And Todd McShay said he likes our draft so far. Good value picks and addressed the pass rush and OL. Didn’t mention Byrd../..

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.

Bengals draft looks really good on paper so far, but I don’t know how I would feel about the Bills going into the 4th round without any interior linemen added. I think its a toss-up. There’s a reason why Michael Johnson lasted till the 3rd round, or Rey lasted till the 2nd.

they are picking guys with good name recognition. 2 years from now there whole draft could be boom or bust!
ditto.
On another note, I hope the Bills are able to trade Parrish, Kelsay, or Simpson and get back into the 3rd round. I would love for them to pick Cornelius Ingram and fill that TE void.
Will James Casey or Chase Coffman last until 4th?
With the guys below probably going ahead of them, it could happen I hope.
Cornelius Ingram
Shawn Nelson

is there anyone on the board at TE that is better that what we have?
..a good blocking, pass catching TE has been something the Bills could use…
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.
The Cowboys pick would have been ours.
Is their someone you would rather have then LeVitre?

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.

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)
4th round
Where is Buffalo’s pick in the 4th round? I can’t find it on ESPN DraftCast.

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.
Eagles on the clock
Is this the pick that the Bills could’ve had instead of the 4th this year and 6th next year according to many rumors I heard? If so, who would you pick here? I gotta go with Cornelius Ingram, or Tyrone McKenzie/Marcus Freeman
No TEs yet in the 3rd...
It’s getting near the point where 121 plus Parrish/Kelsay/Simpson might let Buffalo get into the end of the 3rd….or at least into the early 4th
It’s getting to the point where we might not need to trade up. Would be nice to get rid of Kelsay or Simpson though.

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.
He's worthless
The reason you want to get rid of him is the reason no one else wants him.
It’s nice watching the linebackers and tight ends continue to fall. The sad thing is we will probably take a running back or wide receiver.

Run on TEs
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.
Don't think we will have a choice of TEs if that is how we go.

Ingram is still the best available IMO. He’d be in a good situation in Buffalo if he lasts till our pick – he won’t have to come in and contribute right away on offense but he has the most potential of any TE this year I think. Next year after T.O. is gone, he could become the security blanket for Trent.
Trent's security blankey is Josh Reed

How many drafts have we gone now saying we’re going to get a legit TE and left the draft without one? And please don’t talk about Fine PLEASE
They wanted Pettigrew and that would have solved that problem

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.
Kevin Everett was a 3rd rounder in 2005

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

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.

Ingram
He had a 1st round projection last year before he decided to come back for his senior season. He tore his ACL in preason (which is why he dropped) but it has been a long time since that injury. Good value in round 4.
Where else would you rather be...
Only GB and Carolina in front of us that need TE
so good chance at least one of them willl fall
Trade Roscoe to Dallas for...
their next pick and select Freeman, then select best available TE with the Bills next pick on round 4.
I’ll call OBD and make it happen.

Wow after attending the draft yesterday I'm finally caught up with blogging
Some of my thoughts:
I like the “attempt” to trade up for Pettigrew, I was praying he would fall. But after a night of sleep I love what the bills did with the OLine on DAY 1. It allows us to get nasty, and it greats alot of competition. Trading up for Pettigrew would have cost us too much in players and picks, so I’m glad we didnt give up to much. I still think there are some solid Guards left, I like Sidbury as well. The Byrd pick was a big shock and a luxury pick IMO. But……I’m ok with rebuilding the lines the way they are. Now lets get that OLB and add more depth.
How many years can we go without making the playoffs...eventually the odds go in your favor.........right?!?!?
so you dont want a TE?
Godspeed Nick - RIP - 1986-2009
by norcaliangelsfan on Apr 26, 2009 12:41 PM EDT up reply actions
I think at this point....
Rather add competition at OLB first, but wouldnt mind a TE that could develop as a blocker. I was huge on Pettigrew, but you cant get them all.
My preferences
OLB or DE
TE / OL
i just think there is still some good off guards left
How many years can we go without making the playoffs...eventually the odds go in your favor.........right?!?!?

I was gone from the blog all day yesterday but what did you guys think of the trade up for Levitre? I hated my life after the Byrd pick and then took 3 shots of GoldSclager on the trade up to get Levitre

They are really surprised on NFL network as to why Ingram hasn’t been picked yet. He should’ve been a 1st rounder if it wasn’t for the injury. Former Basketball star a well. Very athletic.

Sitting here thinking about what the Bills are doing. I think G stated it best saying they are going in the direction of getting “play makers”. No matter what position we get them at. Some of us might be looking at it as getting rid of someone we like. For sentimental reason? Maybe. (I know thats what it is for me). But, if we want a winning team we need to get in the now. Time to get valuable young talent to replace even the sentimental players we have on the roster….ie..george wilson, justin jenkins, corto, costanza, etc.

Good afternoon all- made it back from State College alive…allow me to bask in the glory of us drafting Maybin…ahhh.
Penn Staters belong at Penn State. The problem with a lot of kids is they just don’t know they are Penn Staters yet.

I just want either Shawn Nelson or Cornelius Ingram
by BillsfanfromDenmark on Apr 26, 2009 1:04 PM EDT reply actions
With the lack of LB depth after Freeman, I’d rather them take him, and then try to move back into the 4th or just stay put in the 5th and take Ingram. I think out of Ingram, Casey, Nelson, one of those guys will still be available in the 5th. I’m tempted to just have them take Freeman in the 4th, and pick up the kid that everyone has a red flag on – Ingram – and take that risk later in the draft.
Freeman?
From tOSU?
He is still available?

TE or Defensive line, I can live with either.
BUT IT BETTER NOT BE A DEFENSIVE BACK!!!!!!

No, it basically means I, nor you all, have any clue what’s going to happen. It’s useless to guess.

The good news

Round 4
Isnt this a perfect spot for Phillip Hunt?

i agree. he went to my alma mater.
actually, they love Vandy in Chicago, that’s the third guy they’ve drafted in the last 2 years.
doesn't buy posluzny.
They traded for one, too…

Nelson, Freeman or Follett please
I have my hopes all up now, so I am sure I will be angry after th is pick
NOT REALLY: Bills trade Roscoe to Dallas for pick
We take Nelson and then Freeman.
None of the above? :)

Waiting works out
If he was taken in the 2nd or 3rd I don’t think there would have been too many complaints.
I am 100% satisfied
we can get a starting LB in FA
Leroy Hill baby!

He had a third round grade on the Rumblings chart. Great value pick.

Fantastic pick – fills a huge need and adds a lot to the offense. And in the 4th round, where I never thought he would last until
by Posluszny Pollocks on Apr 26, 2009 1:24 PM EDT reply actions
Nelson, great pick
scout.com has him as a four star prospect, third ranked TE. Total steal.
He needs to work on strength, but I think we have a weapon that can press the safety now up the seam. Very Happy.

I know love this draft
Follett still on the board, Brinkley could move outside, freeman still there. Do we dare start to hope for the perfect storm?
