Bills select Oklahoma LB Nic Harris at No. 147

in NFL Draft
492 comments
With the No. 147 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills have selected Oklahoma LB Nic Harris.
Though he played safety in his time as a Sooner, the 6'3", 230-pound Harris lacks the straight line speed (4.65 seconds in the 40) and fluid hips to remain at the position in the pros. He does, however, have the size and upside to play outside linebacker in a Cover 2 scheme - which as you're well aware, the Bills employ.
Harris was a very productive collegian, amassing 232 career stops, 7 interceptions and 21 pass breakups from Oklahoma's defensive backfield. As it stands now, Harris will look to come in and compete with veteran Keith Ellison for the starting SAM linebacker position. There is a chance, however, that the Bills could bring in a vet to man the position; either way, this is a solid pick, as Harris is an excellent athlete and has some upside, particularly in this defensive scheme.
Buffalo's next pick is in the sixth round, No. 183 overall. Stay tuned!

hey
i dont get it Maybe were in the workings for Leroy Hill
Also…Chris Brown said he got caught with Weed, so we may not get him

No. They are not likely to go after Leroy Hill.

Thank you!
Weed should never be a deal buster, I really don’t get why so many ppl worry about it so much.

Agreed, and this is his FIRST offense anyhow
At most, the cops slap him on the wrist and Goddell puts him in a drug program, with NO sit down time.
If the Bills were a drug, I could only hope they were like speed so I could lose some weight as well.

Nic Harris was a great playmaker for OK. He played LB at the senior bowl and the scouts said he didn’t miss a beat. This fits the mold of what Buffalo is trying to do in this draft. Get playmakers!

Im right there with you on that RW. I tagged this kid long ago myself. I was thinking maybe bring him in as a free agent as I wasnt sure he would get drafted due to his “tweener” status, but, I think this kid could be special.

Wanted to post this on the last thread, but it closed.
I don’t get why the NFL is so up in arms about weed, I really don’t. I mean the NBA makes a difference between weed and other drugs and the NHL has been looking the other way for years. The NFL is the only league thats up in arms about it.
To me, this does not take Hill off our radar in any way.

Nic Harris' tweener tag...
Heres the deal with Nic. He played mostly SS, but, the deal here is that he played most of his career up in the box. So, his transition to OLB should not be that hard. I think it will be very smooth to be honest. And Hell, he is already as big as Ellison is. :)

SI Player Profile
Sports Illustrated had his 40 time as 4.85. OUCH
BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter awarded all-conference honors since his sophomore season. Senior totals included 75/1/6, when he spent time at both safety and linebacker. Junior totals included 74/2/7 after 68/4/8 during his sophomore campaign.
POSITIVES: Tough, run-defending prospect with marginal ball skills. Plays disciplined football, stays with assignments, and is a solid open field tackler. Explosive at the point, aggressive in all aspects of the game, and goes hard to make plays. Quarterbacks the defense and very much a leader on the field.
NEGATIVES: Lacks sideline-to-sideline range and late getting to the flanks. Does not display a burst of speed. Struggles moving in reverse and late reacting when the ball is in the air.
ANALYSIS: Harris has been a tremendous player on the college level, yet his physical skills do not project all that well to the NFL. He’s best making plays up the field and must develop his skills at outside linebacker to impact an NFL roster.

same here. Just like Byrd is a slow CB that tackles very well, that makes a great safety in the NFL. Harris is a slow safety that tackles increadibly well, that makes a good LB in my books.

I think we are set. We filled the supposed holes and this is the deepest the team has looked on paper in a while if you ask me. The line got younger, retooled and deeper, we all know about the secondary, we have 3 solid backs, and the D-line and the linebacker positions are deep as well.
Maybe Robinson in the 6th but we could really go anywhere

I am amazed at the number of guys I was looking at later in the draft who went higher
Jason Williams went in the 3rd, called it!
Lardarius Webb in the 3rd, WHOA, he was a 4th at best, but a steal for the Ravens
TJ Lang went to the Packers in the 4th, they stole another player I like from us, punks!
Sammie Lee Hill and Lawrence both went to two teams that could use them in the Lions and Falcons, which is OK, but man, we missed them all!
Which is OK by me, after a night to sleep on it, and DJ saying what we will be doing as far as moving players, I am REALLY REALLY liking this draft, alot!

He’s not a starter.
But if you sit back and think about it, leaving that spot for last makes all the sense in the world. The Bills place a VERY high value on DBs because they spend a lot of time in nickel formations. That means the SAM is off the field. How much of a priority should the position be, then?
They’d still like to upgrade, but it’s completely understandable (and smart) that it was their last priority, so to speak.

he made the point that the SAM LB position might not be that high of a priority for OBD inthe draft because we play a lot of nickle formations and that removes the SAM from the feild. It might also be the reason why we picked 2 secondary guys and no LB’s.

Especially against teams with good TEs.
Bryan Scott manned up on the TE. Whitner and another safety in.

i want another
DL guy…..
what I am so happy about is that the theme of all these guys we drafted is “toughness and versatility” I think that’s why I’m so happy. Those OL guys can play all across the OL, Maybin can play in space and get after the QB, Harris and Byrd can play nickel and safety and Nelson is just the answer we needed at TE….lots of TE’s bust but hopefully in a situational role he can excel

Hey Brian...
Any news on how comfortable the Bills are feeling with McCargo? Is he in working hard? Will he finally step up and be part of the rotation?

I honestly think this draft answers that question.
If they had drafted a DT higher, I think it would have meant curtains for McCargo. Now that they haven’t, not yet at least, I think they are happy with what they are getting from him.

If he’s there in 13 picks (and counting), could anyone argue against taking Cadogan? Brian et al had him as a 3rd rounder, tackle depth certainly wouldn’t kill us, and its a 6th round pick.

it's a
possibility but a long ways to go if he’ll even be there. Problem with Maybin is he won’t be able to play the run right away….so getting a DE who could play the run would be a pick to consider now
