Offense or Defense?

by TimEllis on Jan 23, 2012 7:20 AM EST

I keep reading about all these mock drafts. Some say our biggest need is a developing pass rush, or stability in the O line, or a big vertical game breaking receiver. I say they are all huge needs, but which is big enough to decide the 10th pick? I mean getting a solid OT could really help the Bills establish themselves as a run first team and really chew out the clock while working FJ and CJ together. Getting a pass rush could really help us stop other teams. It will relieve pressure from the DBs and in turn make them looker better.

I don't know what the biggest need is, and really I'd say they are all big enough that we need to take a BPA approach. Depending on who falls to us, there are enough elite prospects that we should be able to nab one of them. What do you think?

my goodness

the answer to this is #4 and it should not even be close.
theres no rule that says the best pass rusher available at 10 will actually be any good. bills take another aaron maybin, fan base loves it until the middle of the 2012 season when the guys got 0.5 sacks to his name.

Its fun to think quarterback, but i think the odds of nix taking one in the first are close to 0%.

what I'd like to happen v what I think will happen

I love the running game and wish we’d make the most of fred and cj. as a result I’d love us to draft decastro, he is probably my favourite player in the draft this year.

HOWEVER decastro will not be the pick. nix doesn’t take oline early and has made it clear he prefers tackles to guards. nix will go with bpa on their board at a position of need. this is likely to be a pass rusher, corner or big target wide receives with decent or better pace.

Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.

I want a nasty Defense

I am willing to take the best player available but do feel the next best position to take would be an OLB/DE for pass rushing ability. Have seen some film upshaw would be an upgrade but an aldon smith or von miller he is not as far as speed and hand movement goes. Think he could be better against the run though than either of those players. Here’s hoping for DE jared crick in the second! Go BIlls! We will need 1-2 CB’s, Left OT, OLB, better backup QB, TE, ILB and a stud WR in order to compete better. We need to start planning to beat the ravens, niners, giants and pats of the NFL. What do these teams have in common? Three elite QB’s and 3 elite defense’s. We won’t get the QB unless we sell the house this year. Personally Kellen Moore can play in Gailey’s sytem and would be an excellent acquisition for the bills. Keep building that D!
