And you would be correct.IMO of course.

Solid pick at rookie 1.3. Buffalo is a good spot for him. Even better than GB IMO.

In fantasy, definitely the #1 rookie RB now

Marv Levy was on ESPN Radio and said Lynch was #1 on their draft board.

At the time they picked or overall?

Lol...I see you joined March 20th of '07, were you born the day before that?

I wasn't listening but this is what is coming from the Bills forum:"He said they had three top guys on the board and all of them were on the board at #12. Lynch had the highest grade! Great Pick Marv! Their interviewing him and DJ on WGR."

Buff greatly improved their OL. JP has proved alot of doubters wrong. Minny has a good line but no QB. IMO AP will see 8 in the box quite often.

Some are good at analysis. Some aren't. And no receivers. But when you have Tavaris Jackson as your QB, I guess WR is no use to the team anyway.

I was listening. He said they had 7-8 players that they knew that would not be available at 1.12 and ranked 3 players after them all of whom were on the board at the time of the pick and that Lynch was the best amongst them.
He also said they have a need at LB as well and that they would love to address all their needs at round 1, but that does not look likely *insert chuckles*.

That same greatly improved OL that led a more talented Willis Mcgahee to under 1k yards at 3.8ypc?That same lack of QB in Minnesota that let Chester Taylor (who is exponentially less talented than Mcgahee) to 1200+ rushing yards at 4.0ypc?I'm fine with people arguing that Lynch should go first (though I still of course heavily disagree with it...these are probably the same people that took Michael Bennett over LT), but to say that Lynch is definitely the #1 rookie RB when ADP will likely go 1st overall in at least 75% of rookie drafts is just, well.....the math of someone that was born on March 19th 2007

because this thread was made it wont be true.

Please remove your headgear
If you ever seen Adrian Peterson, you have to believe he will easily be the best RB in this draft. However Peterson needs to stay healthy and regardless, I like the pick by Buffalo. Lynch will be a very good player.

Have you been under a rock this off-season? The Bills were first to strike in FA with signings of Jason Whittle, Derrick Dockery and Langston Walker.

Oh, and by the way here are the years when a higher rated RB went to a situation where they weren't likely to be the immediate feature back vs. the RBs that went slightly later and were expected to be so.
2005: Ronnie Brown and Benson vs. Caddy and JJ Arrington
2004: Steven Jackson vs. Kevin Jones and Julius Jones
2003: Mcgahee and LJ drafted into non-starter roles. No immediate starters drafted.
2002: 1st RB was drafted into feature role spot - Willie Green
Oh, and in 2006 Bush, Maroney, Addai, and MJD were all drafted into non-starter roles and are all now highly ranked dynasty players just one year later.
In 2001 many also passed up on LT in favor of Bennett because he was in a better situation. When was the last team a less talented guy that was drafted into the feature role became more valuable than the stud drafted into a role with another RB on the squad?
Those guys that went to feature roles all went into situations that appeared to be better than Buffalo's awful running system this year.

Maybe LHUCKS can bash him and get his stock back up.

I almost could see your point of view as Peterson is extremely talented --- but he is going to a RBBC, which can't be ignored. Comparing the Lynch/AD picks to Bennett/LT is where you lose all credibility. Yeah, it's the same thingThat same greatly improved OL that led a more talented Willis Mcgahee to under 1k yards at 3.8ypc?That same lack of QB in Minnesota that let Chester Taylor (who is exponentially less talented than Mcgahee) to 1200+ rushing yards at 4.0ypc?I'm fine with people arguing that Lynch should go first (though I still of course heavily disagree with it...these are probably the same people that took Michael Bennett over LT), but to say that Lynch is definitely the #1 rookie RB when ADP will likely go 1st overall in at least 75% of rookie drafts is just, well.....the math of someone that was born on March 19th 2007.
Then again, it's easy to argue the majority sentiment.

The Bills have been adding people to try and fix that line for 5 years now. They just can't do it. Whether it's the system, the coaching, or the talent evaluation they try and fix it every year and fail every year.

Potentially, but ADP is 10 times the player Chester (who was already one of the lower-tiered starting RBs in the NFL) is. If there is RBBC, it won't last for long.
MelKiperJr

10 times the player? Is this Peterson's agent? You must be an AD (or OU) homer. Why don't you explain to me how LT is the best RB in football? Or go out on a limb and call Manning or Brady the best QB in the NFL? Wait --- let me guess, who's the best WR in football? Thank you, Captain obvious!

Lol...I missed this when I first read your post. Aren't you the same guy who said "Lynch is definitely the #1 rookie RB now"??? That was the main thing I took issue with here, yet now you're saying that arguing Peterson is the top rookie RB is arguing the majority?Hahaha, so which is it? If Lynch is definitely the #1 rookie RB (which again is what I took issue with), then how the hell is arguing that someone else is the #1 rookie RB arguing the majority? Lol I don't think I need to even respond anymore, you made my argument for me.
Uh, what in the world is your point here? You disagree with what I said, and then say that what I said is stating the obvious.Wow, this thread is like the definition of contradiction.
And since you called me a homer, I'm a UF and Dolphin homer so I have no allegiances to ADP.

I love this. I have rookie pick #2. This ensures that CJ goes #1. I can take Peterson. Because of our dynasty league rules, I can stash Peterson away on a development squad and I probably won't have to activate the first year because he'll share time. Then when my other RBs (McGahee, Caddy, Benson, Turner) age or their contracts expire (we're a cap league), Peterson will be ready to take the lead RB role on my team. The Lynch owner will have to activate him this season.
Now, if they would just trade Turner.

Nice pick for the Bills, but IMO the #2 RB in the draft. AP is a special back, in MN he will not be rushed to be the starter, and have time to adjust to the NFL. I would not be shocked to see MN pickup QB after teams make their cuts, I hold judgement on their WR's, see if the 3rd year rule works for Troy W., and what other WR's the Vikes pick up.
