Good point Paul but I do think he is a lot better than Roy. Not good enough to stress over than 14th pick though

Being a cowboy fan when I see Barron I can’t help but think Roy Williams 2.0. I hope someone takes him before us because he at 14 is too high especially when the safety from LSU isn’t too far behind him and can be had in round 3.

I’m glad the Cowboys are in a position to draft the best player available. No need to move up for Mark Barron. There are many good defensive players available in this draft. Sorry Bills .. we don’t care or believe you ..roflmao

McShay is an idiot?…no POLIAN is the idiot…arguably, he single handedly destroyed the Colts…coaching hires, bad drafts, 2-14…without Manning to bail him out, he architected the worst drafts of any franchise in the last 4 years…and look at their defense….would you want him running YOUR franchise right now…why do you think no one will hire him now….like Parcells, he’s WELL past his prime and the game has long passed him by….Barron is a pro-bowler…

I feel like none of you have actually watched Barron. The guy is a “box” safety because that’s what he was asked to play. The guy is extremely intelligent and will be the signal caller for the secondary. He may have tight hips, but his instinctive play puts him around the ball at all times. This guy will be great and if he slips to Dallas he wont only be a steal, he’ll be DROY.

Smoke screens don’t just come from front offices … The media is all too willing to start a fire to provide the smoke!

Barron is a fast riser right now so it takes very little to stoke the flames and blow smoke in every direction

That makes it about 25 players that are now slotted to go in the top 10. Makes sense to me.

Look I wish My fellow Bills fans would stop with the “Need” comment. One thing we should know by now is Nix will draft the highest rated player on his board. If that is Barron and he cannot slide out of 10 then the pick will be Barron it is not that hard to figure out.

I smell smokescreen, but if I were a Buffalo fan, I’d be cool with Barron. You already fixed your d-line. Draft Barron and you guys will have a pretty kick-azz defense.

McShay didn’t say he could cover TEs. He said that he thought the Bills were rumored to be interested in him to cover TEs (like Hernandez and Gronkowski).

I agree with Polian in this case, but I don’t think McShay was debating that.

The funny thing is that he thinks someone can actually cover Rob Gronkowski!

Buffalo is trying to trade down. Dallas(14) and San Diego(18) have a GENUINE desire to draft Barron. The Chargers know they have to leapfrog Dallas and Buffalo makes the perfect trade partner. Nix used to work under A.J. Smith in SD. That previous relationship helps.

People saying bills are already pretty loaded at safety and this is just a move to get a trade need to look at contracts. Jarius Byrds contract is in its final year. George Wilson plays both SS and FS so seeing as they might not be able to retain Byrd they may very well be taking a safety that has proven himself in college in a pro style defense in the best conference.

Wouldn’t be a bad selection at all, the Bills will have to deal with Gronkowski and Hernandez for the next 10 years. Someone is going have to cover them, Wilson could be upgraded over.

I say this every year….NEVER EVER believe ANY and ALL draft rumors, whispers, or “reports” from “unnamed sources” leading up to the draft. Aside from the #1 pick every year, why would teams WANT to tell everyone who they want to draft?

And yet EVERY YEAR, media outlets (and fans) fall into the same trap.

Say what you will about Polian, but injuries aside, he’s picked some good safeties for the Colts (i.e. Bob Sanders – NFL Defensive MVP & 2 time Pro Bowler , Antoine Bethea – 2 time Pro Bowler). Bill is far from a loser in this area, so I would at least consider his criticism.

Bills are really going at it with that defense if true. Makes sense in light of facing the Pats twice a year.

bills can afford to take a chance with this pick… i would say go for it… they will be picking again in top ten next year… and year after that…

Usually I have to dispute the stupidity that some people write on the posts in this forum but I can’t find fault with or the need to add anything to the comments on this post; it nice to see that we can have well informed and coherent comment conversations on here. Also this being a Bills post and I, a Bills fan, it boosts the pride that I have in my fellow Bills fans on here.

I wonder who Joe Buscaglia’s source is? Mark Barron’s agent possibly? He’s no different than any blogger posting a mock draft online. About a week ago he had the Bills taking Cordy Glenn at #10, citing simply the Bills were “very interested in Glenn”. What he meant was the Bills brought Glenn in for a visit…Then he moved on to Dre Kirkpatrick, despite the fact Buddy Nix said on WGR Kirkpatrick benefited greatly from the defensive system at Alabama.

George Wilson played very well last year as his first year as a starter (100+ tackles 4 INT in 13 games). He’s one of the big leaders on the team. I would be shocked if the Bills draft a safety to replace him. Whoever his source is, it’s not Buddy Nix, he’s not telling anyone what he’s thinking.

Please don’t tell me this guy is smaller than 6’2″? The Bills usually draft small guys!

Take a strong & big offensive player & a WR!

Please don’t screw this draft up like they did in previous years when we could have drafted A REAL QB!

I wouldn’t say Barron is weak in coverage, but I wouldn’t want him man to man on a receiver that often. In other words, he’s a safety and not a cornerback.

Nowhere as great as Ed Reed, maybe good like Eric Berry will be one day… I say he’s closer to LaRon Landry (old LaRon Landry not new LL). But you would think the Bills wouldnt draft another safety top 10 since they fkd up with Donte Whitner
