The #11 pick is Pettigrew

Buffalonian — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 02:33:58 -0000

I don't think the Bills FO would have traded Peters if they felt they could'nt fill the void with players already on the roster. You know they didn't talk about Peters for an hour or two, it was the topic for weeks. I believe they convinced themselves that they can still go forward with their draft plans, in lieu of trading Peters. I just can't imagine they said "well we don't think we can solve the LT issue in house, but lets trade Peters anyway and hope this LT is there at #11 or this LT at #28", etc.

I believe they are going to draft Pettigrew. I think they believe he is the best player at his position by such a large margin that it warrants taking him at #11. I think they feel drafting a DE or LT will reduce them to the 3rd or 4th best player at either position. And that the argument for drafting Pettigrew at #11 is more justifiable than taking the 3rd best or 4th best LT or DE. The 11th pick is just too high to not draft the best or second best player at a position.

Now in saying all that, I am now officially deciding that Pettigrew is the player I hope they draft. I made a comment earlier that I could argue a pass catching TE could do as much for our pass coverage issues with Peters gone as a blocking TE could. Well Pettigrew can do both and do both very well. I feel comfortable saying Pettigrew can play every down.

Good Teams .....

Good teams win even when they aren't playing particularly well. That is what happened today. Oakland is a bad team. Their defensive line played well (especially the first half), they won the field position battle, got some strange turnovers ie: Evans fumble, and the simultaneous possession. But they couldn't close. If you keep giving a good team an opportunity to beat you, they will, and we did. The Buffalo Bills are a good team, keep your head up high Bills Fans!

Jax starting Guards

Both of Jacksonville's starting guards are out. Could this be the year Buffalo's luck turns. First two games of schedule were tough teams and we are already catching positive breaks. Tutan Reyes is one of their backups, remember that project? Jacksonville is already playing without starting center Brad Meester. This game is playing right into our hands. I predict another blowout. The link to the ESPN article is below.
