Is Jared Gaither Still An Option?

And, yeah, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

But not because I don’t want Gaither… I’m just not thrilled about the idea of giving away next year’s second rounder. I’m thinking that is we were to try and get Gaither we should at least start off by offering Baltimore the low-ball offer that they still haven’t received. Who know, maybe a third and a fifth would actually be acceptable for them?

if i had the choice. It would make us a lot better in a sec.

Draft Locker with #1 and we are a different team and a competent one

This is a NO – BRAINER and I am on board immediately. Gaither is big, has great hands and good feet. Did I say he was big? HE IS HUGE and he is a mauler, which is exactly what we are looking for in our power run game. What’s taking so long CHIX?

I forsee many QBs with happy feet, blindside hits and brains rattling against skulls in the Bills future without either Gaither or Brown from the Saints. What’s with this not needing to draft a high LT thing with us? Is it an ego thing (“I can create a LT from anything!”, says the Offensive Line coach)? Who’s the highest drafted LT we’ve had?

I don’t think Gaither was ever an option. If he were really available, teams would have called. He’s too good of a player to not garner any interest. I think Baltimore is just messing with him to get him to show up to camp. And it did work with getting him to OTAs. Rumors about a trade got him to show up for OTAs pretty quick and I think they were trying to preemptively calm down any issues with him not having a long term contract yet.

There was know way that we were going to address every need in the draft. The fact that the two most glaring needs were ignored seem to really have everyone disappointed with the results of the draft. It’s my opinion that QB and LT are two of the most difficult positions to adequately supply. We all wrestled with who we should take and when we should take them, but either way there was going to be at least two positions that would have gone unaddressed. They just happen to be the two more critical positions. Isn’t this where training camp and preseason comes into play. I am sure that we will be cutting a few veterans in some capacity as will other teams. We just need to allow things to play out and look to improve as the process moves closer to the season start. Right know we have a team that lacks super stars. So that leaves the door open for players to outperform one another and solidify thier roll on this team and in this league.

They won’t though…i doubt Nix would ever part with a draft pick for a player after listening to his press conference yesterday; he seems old and stubborn on the issue…quick question…given the lack of depth on the interior of the Bills’ line post-draft, do you see any of the current tackles they employ being suited for a conversion to guard or center? Chambers played some guard once (not very well against the Pats if I recall). Ramsey is listed as a Tackle/Guard on wikipedia (for whatever that’s worth). Meredith was once considered a guard prospect before the 2009 draft…I would imagine some of these players have to be moving because Calloway and Gaddis are not enough depth on the interior especially with one of the starters coming off a gruesome injury.
