Buffalo Bills Draft Needs
Timothy Redinger from BuffaLowdown and Fan-Sided Blogs weighs in on who the Bills should be looking at in the upcoming 2009 NFL Draft.
The Bills are selecting 11th overall in this years draft. I don’t see the Bills trading up in this draft, nor do I see them trading down, unless the price was right.
The Bills can do a lot with the 11th pick, and according to *Chris Brown* featured on Two Bills Drive this morning, the Bills would do well to take a pass rusher, because the teams selecting just after them will be looking to improve that area as well.
From the Mocks that I have seen in the past few days, defensive ends are the common theme for the Buffalo pick, with names like Everett Brown (Florida State), Tyson Jackson (LSU), and Brian Orakpo (Texas) being mentioned.
Only one draft I saw had the Bills not taking a DE, and that mock had the Bills selecting OLD Aaron Curry from Wake Forest.
Thinking of the Bills and their frugal ways, I could see the Bills being cautious with this draft, but taking the draft head on when the rookie cap is put into place.
LB Aaron Curry (Wake Forest)
I have the Bills down to take a DE in my mock (Orakpo). Starting to see a couple mainstream mocks (Kiper-Banks) going with TE but I don'[t know that the Bills would do that with that high of a pick this season…certainly not if they are to be as conservative as you think.
contrarily, I've seen a lot of people talking about the Bills filling out in the OT position. Any chance they take a big over the middle time of WR like Hakeem Nicks instead of a TE? I like the look of him.
here is the bills 2009 draft. 1 ( hood) de { m. tigers} 2 ( c. mattews) olb {usc} 3 ( freeman) ilb {osu} 4 (brinkley) ilb {s. carolina} 5 ( middleton) de { indiana} 6 ( afalava ) ss/fs {oregon st} 7 ( durham) c {nevada}. obtain more ol as rfa's and obtain some weapons as rfa's. next year fix ol and obtain some real threats on the offense wr, te, third down rb . back up rookie qb. this year it's all about the defense baby.
bills should try to work a deal for two first round draft picks. it says that ralph loves me and he is rewarding all his followers for being so loyal. two pass rushers will assure we kick some back ends this year. If defense steps up, I will come back from California to Western New York and show up for a game!
I think the should get a pass rusher such as TEXAS LB orakpo, USC LB matthews, USC LB cushion etc……
