Bills take their pick in seconds again.....they take Troup DT
Analysis
Pass rush: Bull rusher who often pushes his man (or a double-team when fresh) to collapse the pocket using leverage. Able to rip off blocks, punch and swim over the top, or even get under the arm of guards to pressure the quarterback if he hangs onto the ball too long. Limited burst; will provide some heat but not many sacks. Sits on many obvious passing situations.
Run defense: Stands his ground against single and double blocks using his girth and strength, although he lacks the quickness to split the double. Can be violent with hands to free himself. Able to sift through trash inside to get to ballcarrier. Moves laterally while engaged to stay in the play. Needs improvement avoiding and recovering from cut blocks.
Explosion: Quick and powerful off the snap, penetrating easily against man-up blocks. Good balance after initial contact, keeping pads low and moving forward. Loses steam coming off the ball throughout the game.
Strength: Very strong player; prime nose tackle candidate. Uses a low center of gravity and thick upper body to gain leverage. Able to stack his man and disengage to chase the quarterback or wrap up ballcarriers.
Tackling: Has length and upper-body strength to bring down most any player in his immediate area. Willing to chase down players but lacks burst to track them down from behind without help or consistently make tackles outside the box. Doesn't change directions easily, and can be eluded in space. Must keep his feet moving instead of relying on his strength to make arm tackles.
Intangibles: Hard-working, unselfish leader with a quiet sensibility. Consistently gives good effort inside whether rushing the passer or stopping the run. No major character issues. Worked off 30 pound of weight during his career to gain stamina, although he still carries extra around his midsection.Comment

The Bills needed an NT sure, but I think Cam Thomas would have been a better pick.</delurk>Comment

Raiders - given Al's track record it has got to be Campbell or Mays.Comment

good lord only team that MAY need a QB coming up is the 9'ers...if he doesnt go there and Walrus doesnt pick him he is a THIRD rounder...Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

Draftcountdown.com describes Troup as a run stuffer in the 3-4 - do the Bills even run a 3-4?
Surprising pick."My problems with him are his vision and tendency to dance instead of pounding a hole." - Harvey WallbangersComment

I love these reaches. Should help the Packers get someone they really want.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
