At least things will be a little more interesting around the office, now.

Not really, Maybin should actually have some value now, Williams should be able to find a home on the dline at one of the two DE positions, Posluzsny should be good at ILB, so it looks like we need a nose for sure, another ILB ("Thumper") and another OLB just to be functional in the 3-4. Side note, personally I think Stroud will be even more useless, but that is me, maybe he will be healthy and that will make a difference, but if he is our nose tackle, we are screwed even more so than last season. I really thought the Bills were only one or two players away from being a defense fully capable of dominating in the 4-3, now it looks like they are going to have to rebuild most of the front 7 instead of just adding a couple of pieces, in addition to continuing to rebuild the offense...

Bills2083 · 02-05-2010, 09:43 AM

Why don't you think Stroud could slide out to one of the DE positions?
Also, couldn't Mitchell move to ILB?

Stroud - FA/Draftee - Williams
Maybin - Mitchell - Poz - FA/Draftee
Florence/McKelvin - Whitner - Byrd - McGee

Mitchell's good inside.

Stroud's done. We need two new DLinmen a nose and long armed DE who weighs at least 275lbs.

Stud OLB to rush.

It's a pity we only have 1 first round pick. We need 3!

I think they have some pieces in place, maybe pick up a 3-4 DE in the 2nd 3rd. But o line and qb need to be addressed via FA or draft. I think maybin was always best suited as rush backer

I'm not sure where Kyle William fits in here, which is a shame because I've loved the guy since he started outplaying McCargo in his rookie season.

Best player in our front 7, possibly. Certainly the most valuable at this point. Perfect in the 4-3.

Is it possible to get excited about Maybin? I swear I almost felt a jump inside me, and it may have been triggered by an Aaron Maybin thought.

Aaron Maybin may actually have a chance at being utilized correctly this year, he seems to fit very well as a rush OLB in the 3-4, that role fits him like a glove.

From what I saw of Stroud this year, he looked to me like he was playing high, not staying low and holding his ground which I think will result in him not being a good fit in the 3-4, in addition to his hands looking inactive and lazy. I think Williams is active enough to make the transition and fit in to one of the DE positions, it sounds like he is willing to try, it is possible Stroud could do it, or play the nose, although I dont think he is too excited about it from what I have heard.
Mitchell could make it, certainly has the size, although I am not sure about the time frame for his recovery, or if he will be able to make the transition, but he does have some experience at ILB so it is a possibility.
For me there is certainly a need for a nose, I would not trust Stroud there, ILB because Mitchell there is an uncertainty in a couple respects, OLB/Rush opposite Maybin and would not touch the secondary. I would plan on bringing a DE in, and would certainly look at a guy like alex carrington if he were available in the third or fourth round in the draft, or a FA type as well.
Thats all just my opinion, and thoughts off the top of my head...

Maybin sucks. Find me one clip of him getting his own sack at Penn State.

Worse pick than J.P.

I was shocked when I heard his name called instead of Orakpo, but the kid just turned 21 and is in a scheme that fits his abilities. Think about it, last year he was playing with men who are more developed physically and have been in the league for a decade or more. I'm at least willing to give him a full season as our starter before I draw my conclusions.
