Does anybody think Aaron Maybin from the Bills could possibly be brought in, coached up and be the player the Bills thought they drafted? It would be a case of Schlitz and 10 lbs of bratwurst type trade and taking on his contract, but can he be as bad as he's played so far?

This guy was taken ahead of Orakpo and Matthews, so he has to have some talent. Sorry for the lame thread, but Christ the draft is a month away yet.

If we could pick him up cheap... sure. Why not? He's been disappointing so far, but it's not unusual for a player to take 3 or 4 years to come into his own. I imagine Kevin Greene could find some use for him...

{Edit to add: Beautiful pic, Dakota!}

{Edited again to add: Rethinking the whole Maybin deal... that's a lot of salary to pick up considering they may cut him if he doesn't have a good camp...}

As much as I have tremendous respect for our LB coaches, I think Aaron Maybin is beyond saving. My roommate is a Bills fan, so I've watched the team with him a lot and Maybin appears to be a bust in every sense of the word. In the preseason last year he only achieved success (moderate at that) when he faced third string offensive tackles...

In other words, I feel that it would be a waste of a roster spot. Some players look good at one level but just cant compete at the next.

I can't think of a player like this that Ted has picked up in the past. Guy is talented but it's pretty bad when you can get playing time in Buffalo.

Wasn't the knock on him that he was too small to rush the passer coming out of college?

He put on 25lbs of muscle in 2 months between the end of the season and the combine. That's insane.

He played DE in college but is too small for it in the NFL. Maybe he just isn't used to being a LB and needs good coaching or maybe he doesn't know what to do.

Or maybe he is just a phenomenal bust and isn't every going to be good. I wouldn't be willing to part with any decent player/pick or pay the guy much over the league minimum to give him a shot on the team. As of now he isn't even close to having the production of Frank Zombo.

People put way too much importance on where a player got taken in the draft. It doesn't mean they have talent. It just means someone thought they had talent. There is a huge difference.

The Bills GM could be a horrible judge of talent.

We know Ted Thompson isn't.

Sounds like "Too small" Jamal Reynolds to me anyway.

One of the plusses is that his contract is now very cheap. Almost all of his rookie contract has been paid by the Bills.

Sorry there is no room on the roster for that.

The Packers do not want a lazy outsider infecting the locker room.

Rookies come in and they learn the Packers way and no other way. No negative influences.

Can't say i'd mind them bringing him in for a look if he got cut. I'd trust Ted and Mike to know if they can can something out of nothing. Got age on his side, be a huge bonus if Capers could tap into some of that hype coming out of Penn state.

By whose standards? With proper training and diet, it isn't that hard to do. In fact, for a guy that size, I would say it is expected. I weigh far less than he does, and I usually put on at least 10 lbs my first month alone when I train seriously.

Zero2Cool (23h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
