If we do consider a CB it won't be Talib who just isn't very physical and his tackling ability is weak for a player his size. He's much more suited to man to man coverage.
Flowers is probably the best Cover 2 CB in this year's draft and we could trade back for him and pick up extra picks.
Rivers is also a strong possibility as is Harvey DE.
We appear to have a lot of options open to us and it will be very interesting to see how our new GM functions. Either way I see this draft significantly improving our team.

You're right it is a great OT crop.......and that's exactly why we should wait until round 3 or 4 to take an OT. You don't spend the 11th pick on a RT, especially when you can get one in the middle rounds this year that would normally be a 1st or 2nd rounder in other years.

I don't know if you guy's have noticed but the Jets have been making some big moves on defense with the addition of Kris Jenkins and Calvin Pace. In order to counter that, we need to do something on offense. Last year we had a patchwork defense with very few, if any, stars and it did a really good job. This year we added some serious talent to that defense but our struggling offense is still just as bad.

I was opposed to a WR in round one. Never liked the idea of drafting your number two receiver with your 1st pick. I understand the need for a big target cuz the redzone offense sucked, an there was no one to who could go up after a soft pass in the end zone corner. I can remember only one easy TD pass and it was to Gaines. Maybe you can get the same results with a TE in the 2nd or 3rd round? The only reason to take a WR at 11 is if you think Evans will bolt or you will not be able to resign him next year. I would be happy with a CB or DE at 11. No problem with that choice.

Stamerica is no more.

fischbowl · 03-26-2008, 09:46 PM

STAMERICA! **** YEAH!

Needless to say, I will miss staring into those eyes of his.

You rule, fisch. As does the only existing picture of Josh Stamer.

Who do we have now who will run up to the crowd before the opening kickoff. Truly a sad day. I feel your pain Mcgee.

TheBuffaloBills · 03-31-2008, 02:30 PM

Just got a text from the Bills, and we got a

4th and 7th round compensatory picks. I will take it.

SuperMcGee · 03-31-2008, 05:28 PM

I'm really liking that 4th. We need some strong depth and competition on both lines and at safety. Still good BPA territory, as well.

fischbowl · 03-31-2008, 07:31 PM

Best we've gotten in a while. I love compensatory picks. Like manna from heaven.

TheBuffaloBills · 04-10-2008, 10:06 PM

It think this would be a definite reach but I have been hearing the Bills really really like him

Her is just one of the links that talk about it. I also read him being taken by us at 11 on some forum.

LonghornsLegend · 04-10-2008, 11:05 PM

I've read the same reports about you guys being interested, which scares me because were another team with a 1st round grade and I really want him at 22...Dont buy that reach stuff, Cason is a stud and can play man or zone, he's really smart and has great instincts, along with that he has playmaking skills for a db which is rare to find...I dont think he would be a bad pick at 11, but im hoping you guys go Devin Thomas so he makes it to us.

TAMBA is HUNGRY!!!! · 04-12-2008, 09:09 AM

I like him the most of all the CBs. As a Bills fan myself, I would not mind this pick in the least.

art vandelay · 04-12-2008, 04:01 PM

Do you have any links saying that the Bills are interested in Cason?

LonghornsLegend · 04-12-2008, 04:15 PM

I saw this on scout.com awhile back and posted it in our team forum:

Quote:

A league source has told Scout.com that Buffalo, Carolina, Arizona, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Dallas and Green Bay all have first-round grades on Cason.

Have to search for the link, doesnt go into specifics about who will draft who, but its just something to think about...I think he's about as safe as a pick as you can get, with plenty potential, which is why I dont think he would be a reach at all at 11...Scott among other people have him rated way too low, this guy will not be going mid to late 2nd round.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Billingsley26 · 04-13-2008, 07:02 PM

Would not have a problem with it at all.

619 · 04-13-2008, 07:04 PM

Perfect fit for the Bills system but you might be able to get him in round two.

Highly doubt it. To me, everyone is underestimating Justin King and Antoine Cason right now. I think they will both be taken in the first.

essential · 04-13-2008, 11:25 PM

Cason is my fav CB prospect in the draft. I have had him in my mocks all along, going to us no later than the second, but he's been my first round pick the last month or so.

Right now I have us trading down with the Eagles and taking him at #19, but I would have no problem at all taking him at #11.

SuperMcGee · 04-15-2008, 08:28 PM

I don't like at all that the Miami game is in Toronto

San Diego at home after the bye, you never know.

We need to keep our composure (assuming the team is running at least decently) after we get beat in New England. Cleveland on Monday Night is a huge game and is followed by many winnable games in a row leading up to the season finale. I don't see any particularly very rough stretch in the schedule. Early wins would be a nice change this year, and they're definitely possible. Oakland and St. Louis for sure are doable, Seattle and Arizona are toss-ups at best that we can't have a very clear picture of just yet. Obviously if we want a good season we have to do our part to keep the Jets and Dolphins beneath us.

Iamcanadian · 04-15-2008, 11:07 PM

looks like about 5 to 7 wins. Realistically, Edwards probably won't have a breakout season until the following year and that will limit us to pretty well being below average until he is ready.

Ive never seen such a pessimistic bills fan.
