Nix! Your on the clock, Cowboys on the phone.

ej manuel is a junior and did not declare for the draft (and youd want the bills to take him in the second?…. youve seen that guy attempt to play quarterback before, right?)

but i like the way u did the post, so ill play. tannehill should be in play, as franchise QB should be #1 on nix’s priority list. if they dont like tannehill, kirkpatrick would be the clear choice if not for recent events.

after that who knows. brockers and hightower both come to mind, so ill vote draft someone else.

I’m just looking for a backup to groom from the likely extra pick. if he had of declared, i expected he’d be there say 78th overall. So back to another WR for me.
Definitely not against Brockers, we just move dareus outside.

Pass

I might have taken Reiff in this situation were he available, but not willing to risk taking a chance on Kirkpatrick, most of the guys I want should be available in the trade down situation. Take Kendall Wright, Donta Hightower or Vinny Curry with the Boys’ pick, and use the extra pick on a TE to replace a far-too-expensive Scott Chandler.

The latest ESPN mock has Kirkpatrick rated as the24th player

since FA comes before the draft again (i liked last year when it was reversed, better deals), it all depends on who we get. if the Heavens break open and drop Mario Williams into our uniform and we pick up a SLB then we can grab CB or OL or WR or TE. Depending who is taken ahead of our pick we could trade down and get extra picks or stay put and get a stud at a lesser position (pass rushers are always in demand)

no way the bills are taking kirpatrick, it would be nice but given his recent legal issues i dont think chix wants anything to do with him

With the fins going to the 4-3 as well and picking one ahead of us, I don’t understand why most mocks I’ve seen have us picking Coples? I like Upshaw and Ingram but they are mainly 3-4 backers not 4-3 DE’s. They will get swallowed up by NFL Tackles b/c of their lack of height and short arms. I did hear Mayock say Ingram was the better of the 2 b/c he had more counter moves and better hands. If we stuck w/ the hybrid 3-4 then maybe, but we are moving to a base 4-3. We need a 4-3 DE or two and a SLB. I actually thought Curry looked better in the Sr. Bowl than Coples. Confused as to why he seems to be flying under the radar as well?? That could be a good thing for us. Let him fly under all the way to our pick in the 2nd!

There are just too many variables to consider w/ FA still coming before the draft. We can speculate all day long (b/c there’s nothing really to talk about right now) but until FA, we just don’t know. What IF we were able to sign Mario Williams…What IF Stevie re-signs…What IF Stevie DOES NOT re-sign…What IF we signed V Jackson to play alongside OR replace Stevie…on and on we could go. Just too many variables to decide. The water is still too muddy.

Now, if we were talking pure draft pick and no FA, then I would seriously listen to any possible offers to move down. I like Curry and Floyd. But I also like Tannehill as well. I don’t see Tannehill dropping to the 2nd rd w/ Seattle in need of a QB.Who knows, the way last yrs draft went, the Skins could take Tannehill knowing Seattle would be interested as well. I wouldn’t rule it out. IMO, he is the perfect guy to groom behind Fitz and Gailey. He’s tall, smart, gifted, AND mobile w/ a high ceiling. In a few yrs he could be way better than Luck and RG3. But you know what? If I were the GM, I know we have a major need at DE/pass rusher. But I also know that we NEED a franchise QB to groom behind Fitz. Just weighing my options here, there’s probably more value at DE/pass rush in the 2nd to mid rounds. But, the quality QB drop-off from Luck, RG3, Tannehill is more significant than DE/pass rusher. So, let’s make a sure thing a sure thing. I would pick Tannehill at #10 and try to either get back in the bottom of the 1st to draft Curry or wait to the 2nd if I feel he will be available. With FA going before the draft, I would have re-signed Stevie and tried hard as hell to sign V Jackson or Bowe. One of those guys would be a Bill in FA if I were GM so I wouldnt feel pressured to take a WR early in the draft.
