With the 11th Pick....

Lance in Germany — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:02:14 -0000

The Buffalo Bills select Limus Sweed, WR: Texas. I mean he has all that we're looking for in this draft, a BIG WR, experience in a pro style offense, high character guy. Why would the bills not be high on him? Please inform me what reasons the bills could have not to like this guy?

I think their percieved 'lack of interest' in sweed is one of the best smoke screens of recent history. I mean they didn't even send someone to his pro day! That means either OBD knows something the rest of the NFL doesn't, or they are in the middle of one of the best smoke screens of recent years.

Last year was all about them saying how there was great value in the later round for RB's, and they are confident in some good runners being available there. What did they do: draft the man marshawn..... we'll see how it plays out but I am very excited to see how ODB plays this years draft.

Center in the draft?

Do we need an upgrade at center, and are there draft propects out there this year?

Hey Bills fans, with all the talk about WR and the defense the last month or so, I hadn't thought much about the OL until I read Conner Byrne's RF365 article today (link below).

Conner and some of the folks who post on RF365 (although it's board has been down a few weeks now!) lamented about our center, Melven Fowler quite a bit last year.

The question is: Do we need an upgrade at center, and is there any decent prospects out there in the draft?

I'm curious about the general consensis out there if in fact we need an upgrade at center or not. Also I do not research draft prospects out there like many others, so I figured I would see what others have found in terms of what is available at center.... and importantly, do we have to spend a high draft pick if we want to upgrade at center.

Why a safety?

Why do some people say we need a safety (either FS or SS)

Bills Fans, like most of us, I enjoy reading too much about our favorite team, and am a first time poster.

So I have seen a few people say that FS/SS could be an option for us in the draft (first few rounds). I don't see the need for us to spend a high draft pick on a safety. Witner has been solid (not yet a game changer though) and Ko Simpson was also solid is his first year, is it possible people just forgot about him b/c he missed all of last year?

I'm just wondering what rational people have that our safety tandem of Witner/Simpson needs to be changed, I think it's fine as is. We still have higher priorities IMO (WR, TE, CB, DT, QB?)
