nogohawk Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 There early news at 5 AM had a sports segment stating the Eagles wanted to move up to Buffalo's #8 spot to take Brodrick Bunkley, DT, FSU. That would be sweet for the D-Line - I'm sure he would never fall to #14. I'll try to find a link to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Cheezhead Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I don't know...I still have a feeling both the Eagles AND Bills prefer Ngata to Bunkley. I could be wrong, but no matter what your other D-linemen are doing, it's almost always good to have one big run-stuffer at LDT. Plus, big guys like Ngata can have more of an impact early on, since their game isn't as dependent on adjusting to the NFL. Ngata's BIG no matter where he plays. Both teams have their one-gap guy(Patterson and Tripplett, respectively), but both lack a space-eater. I'd take Ngata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tie up blockers who would otherwise be....BLOCKING blitzers. 2. 90% of college D-linemen are known for "taking plays off". The dude is 345 pounds. I'd take an occasional play off, too. In the NFL, he'll have better conditioning and a better D-line rotation. I'm sorry, but you're never going to convince me that a quick, athletic 345-lb. DT is NOT good for ANY defensive scheme. It's just not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just telling you they have never taken an oversized DT... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Okay...but the new Bunkley talk ISN'T a smokescreen? Pick your poison, Avernus. 1441895[/snapback] he hasn't even been talking about Bunkley as much...I hear Justice, Bunkley and Ngata... edit: I hear Ngata and Justice the most...but I read them 3 because of the OT and DT need...Tom Heckert tried his best at dodging the possibility Bunkley of taking Bunkley I don't even think they'll take any of them...but Bunkley has overtaken Justice on my favorites list... I think they trade down and take Mangold... Edited April 28, 2006 by Avernus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piranha Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Word is out of Bills camp that they aren't interested in Ngata, and they will most likely pick Bunkley. Unless they accept a trade or Bunkley is gone. Then they'll lean on Huff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikesVikes Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 The Bills would be taking a chance on their guying being there at #14. I thought there were 8 sure thing picks in this draft and they'd take the 14th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Anyone think it's possible that the asking price for Javon is the #8 pick of the draft? 1442499[/snapback] No. Edited April 28, 2006 by muck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
