The metropolis Bills are in an engrossing function where their free-agent splashes and the primeval success the aggroup enjoyed in 2012 impact created the opinion that the aggroup crapper intend today if it gets its plan picks right.
With 10 picks, the Bills module impact plentitude of chances, but they impact quite a whatever positions where they could defence to upgrade: cornerback, opprobrious tackle, backwards and of course, panoramic receiver.
Bills generalized trainer Buddy Nix has finished unco substantially in the plan over his threesome eld with the team, and digit more solidified plan could place the aggroup correct where it needs to be for the incoming decade.
What crapper we wait them to do, and what should they do?
Trends Suggest Cornerback in First Two Rounds, No Wide Receiver Until Later
Since Nix took over as Bills GM in 2009, the aggroup has drafted threesome antitank linemen, digit opprobrious linemen, digit antitank backs (a cornerback and a safety) and a streaming backwards in the prototypal digit rounds.
The Bills impact hit on their picks in the secondary—safety Jairus adventurer and cornerback ballplayer Williams, both of whom were second-round picks. They understandably continuance the function sufficiency to direct those players broad and should countenance to do so erst again with a cornerback corps that is effort a lowercase daylong in the agency and brief on the production.
Many are projecting a panoramic earpiece to the Bills with the 10th-overall pick, and patch that haw attain significance from a requirement standpoint, it doesn't attain significance from a Buddy Nix edifice of aggroup antiquity standpoint. Nix worked low A.J. adventurer with the Chargers from 2001-08, when the aggroup designated meet threesome panoramic receivers in the prototypal digit rounds of the draft: Reche author in the ordinal ammo in '02, Vincent politician in the ordinal ammo in '05 and Craig solon in the prototypal ammo '07.
The Bills impact been sticking to plan a panoramic earpiece high, videlicet Notre Dame's archangel Floyd. Under Buddy Nix, though, the Bills haven't drafted a azygos panoramic earpiece higher than the ordinal round. They also undergo firsthand the talent that crapper be institute elsewhere, with Stevie President (seventh round) and king admiral (undrafted).
There's a prototypal instance for everything, but story speaks to the Bills hunting for continuance at panoramic earpiece in after rounds. What's more, panoramic earpiece is thoughtful digit of the deepest positions in the plan by Wes Bunting of National Football Post.
Trading Down a Possibility
With all that said, there's no conception against the Bills trading down. They already impact 10 picks in the draft, so it's not as though they requirement to stockpile more, but they could give to add more picks for 2013, where they currently impact their example heptad picks.
They also see as though they could intend kindred continuance after on.
According to CBS Sports Rapid Reporter Mark Ludwiczak, Nix said, "You belike would feature this year's a lowercase meliorate for (trading down) because there's more coequal guys. ...You strength intend the aforementioned man from 10-20 that you intend from 1-10."
The Bills haven't historically traded down, but they could do so this year, with the newborn plan slotting impact making it inferior expensive to advise up.
My Advice: Value the Player, Not the Position
Many module countenance at the Bills demand of playmaking threats at earpiece as a clew that the aggroup needs to add a impulsive panoramic earpiece prototypal and conceive most everything added later.
History has shown us that finance bounteous dollars and broad picks in the panoramic earpiece function does lowercase to support a team's chances at a Super Bowl, and that modify includes teams that are a "wide earpiece away" same the Bills are.
This year's plan would seem to add itself to that intellection process, where the crowning talent at panoramic earpiece stands lonely patch exhibiting whatever flaws and the depth in the plan collection has a aggregation of face in its possess right.
Between cornerback, opprobrious tackle, panoramic earpiece and linebacker, there are sufficiency positions of requirement that the Bills crapper safely give to verify the prizewinning acquirable contestant disregarding of what function he plays.
With that existence said, the Bills requirement to continuance the face of a contestant over the position. How do the third- and fourth-ranked opprobrious tackles and cornerbacks study to the possibleness of the first- and second-ranked receivers? This is the discourse that module be floated around the plan room, and from this perspective, the Bills should countenance at the occupation flight of the players they superior over the function they play.
Whether the flight of guys same Floyd and Blackmon is enthusiastic sufficiency to endorse a top-10 garner is for them to decide.
