We NEED a PASS RUSHER. Derrick Harvey is a pass rusher. If he's there, we NEED to take him. If we don't, we're gonna complain that McGee and Greer arent good enough, and look for another corner. If McGee and Greer have a pass rush, noone will be crying about our CB play
-
While I believe Harvey will be there, I just can't see the Bills taking him. We have too much money tied up in Kelsay and Schobel and it just wouldnt be fiscally responsible. It would be extactic if we actually did make this move but I just can't see it happening.
On the note of Boldin I can't see Arizona even thinking of moving him for less than a first.
This is the NFL. Players can be cut. Not improving our pass rush will ensure us another year NOT in the playoffs. Get with the program.

He should be the clear choice at 11. I hope the brass see's it the same. I pray they do.

Thinking about the the Bills getting ready to make a playoff run
1. Losman to Atlanta for WR Laurent Robinson or Michael Jenkins- Atlanta will probably draft a QB in 2nd round but could still use a QB that could generate a little excitement while the rookie gets ready- the Bills would receive an adequate #2 WR
draft 1st Derrick Harvey - the Bills want a quality DE and CB if the Bills get the CB first the chances of getting a DE in the later rounds is slim
2nd Charles Godfrey CB- at least 4 CBs will be taken before the Bills but could be as many as 7- Godfrey would seem to have nice assets for the cover2 and good special teams ability
3rd Martellus Bennett -Bills need more redzone targets and this guy qualifies
4a Duane Brown OT - Bills need an O-Lineman who can fill multiple positions
4b Adarius Bowman WR- slow as dirt but so was Anquan Boldin and he turned out ok
5th Owen Schmitt- guy isn't going to last long in the NFL the way he leads with his head but he should be fun to watch for the short time he's here.
rounds 6-7 Bills look for KRs to take pressure off McGee[/quote
lol. they are adequate number 3's, poor number 2's
-
Easy decision for me. De- Derrick Harvey University of Florida.
^^^^^
-
too bad our pass rush is non existent. If we had a pass rush, we may take a WR at 11. But we don't. Derrick Harvey is the pick if available.
-
ill say it, Chad Johnson is small. LISTED at 6'1" 198lbs. thats too small to be considered an upgrade to our WR core
LOL. too funny. i actually laughed out loud and had to call in my roomates to read this. they laughed even harder than I did. you sir, are clueless.
-
The writing is on the wall for Losman with the validation of this article. I'm thinking that Hamden and Trent Dilfer would be solid back-ups to Edwards. What would be useful with Dilfer is his mentoring, not only to our young QB but to the offense as a whole.
lol trent dilfer. i'd rather sign vince evans.

If we can get a bonafide PASS RUSHERin the 1st, I think we should. Long and Gholston will probably be gone, but Harvey has a chance to fall to us. If he's there, take him. Then try and trade up to get a WR or just draft one with our 2nd round. Go TE in the 3rd and we've covered the majority of our bases. If Harvey can give us a pass rush (because our pass rush was non-existent last year), I don't think we really need to draft a CB. McGee, Greer, Youbouty and James are a decent enough core if we can FINALLY put pressure on the QB. After adding Harvey, theres still a possiblity we can get Kelly, Sweed, Hardy, Thomas etc after a trade up or in the 2nd. I've seen Harvey play a bunch, and he's a high effort/high production player that plays his best when during big games and crunch time. The giants won the SB because of a pass rush. We currently have none. Stroud is a nice addition, but he doesnt make our pass rush top notch. The addition of Harvey could do that.
-
1. DE Derrick Harvey
2. CB Tracy Porter
3. WR Jordy Nelson
still leaves us with no #2 WR and no #1 TE. offense would be 25th-30th. pass

Im not criticising ur mock Im just asking why with ur 4th pick you think a FB should be taken instead of maybe a CB or OL/DL?...when Bills had the extra 3rd round I also had a FB in there in the 4th but since we traded it away for Stroud and because we picked up 1 or 2 FB's in FA I decided for my mock that FB wasnt a priority anymore...just wondering
I can't answer for him, but I here's my thoughts. Looking at the CBs that would be available in the 3rd, I don't see them as an upgrade over what we already have. McGee, Greer, Youbouty and Will James (Peterson) are probably not going to be upgraded with a 3rd round cb.I really like the addidtion of James. I watched him alot back when he was with the giants, and i liked his ability. Injuries have held him back in recent years, but he plans on being a starter this year. I dunno about all that, but he'll be nice depth. I'd rather wait, while drafting the best FB in the draft. If the fullback is going to be getting alot of snaps from now on, I'd like it to be a good one. Have we signed Corey McIntyre? If you think Darian Barnes is gonna be our answer at FB, you must rethink your draft strategy imo.

While I agree with you that WR is a big need, they will not take two in the first 2-3 rounds... Not to say they won't draft two WRs, one early, one late... but we have many other needs and a guy named Lee Evans to re-sign...
If the Bills stay put and draft at 11, there are 4 needs they should address (WR, DL, LB, CB)... and depending on who falls, it may not be at WR (a deep position this year that can still yield a starter in the 2nd or 3rd)...
They could draft DL... IF guys like Sedrick Ellis or Vernon Gholston drop (doubtful but I've seen stranger things) or maybe Phillip Merling... Again, DL is a good option, but a little less likely because the DTs probably won't drop (Dorsey & Ellis) and the Bills already have a lot of money invested in DE....
They could take a LB... Crowell is a UFA next year and Ellison and Digiorgio are RFAs... Could we re-sign those guys? Sure... easier when they're RFAs, but having a replacement as well as insurance in case Mitchell isn't everything we need on the weakside gives the Bills something to fall back on... A guy like Keith Rivers could be a tempting pick....
Then there is CB... People have argued that the cover-2 does not put as much emphasis on the back-end, instead using zone-coverage, which argues that CB can be taken later... I for one think a great corner is a great corner.... period. The scheme is secondary to talent... and there are a slew of talented CBs available that the Bills can get.... not to mention we are thin at CB right now....
WR would seem to be the most obvious first choice... At #11 the Bills would most likely have their pick of whoever they see as the most talented and best fit in the offense... It provides insurance if Evans does not re-sign and gives Edwards a tall, jump-ball target... But again, the WR class is deep, the Bills have other needs, and two WRs in rounds 1-3 is a bit too luxurious... especially for a practical team like Buffalo...
Another choice for Buffalo might be to trade down... which would open the possibilities up to other positions like TE, OL, FB, etc. I don't believe trading down is as easy as a lot of fans think it is (people seem to think that's the sure-fire option every year, without fail), but if they could pull off a negotiation, it's a good choice...
I actually believe the Bills will have many options where they sit and a very hard choice... and depending on who falls, they could go a lot of ways... If they have proven anything lately, it is that their choices are very much unpredictable!
No Tight End? you're crazy

..and I don't think Lynch is going to contribute to our offense in any sense the way Willis will contribute to our defense.
youre entitled to your opinion, but Lynch can run inside and outside, has better hands than any other back in the draft, and can even throw the ball. seems to me like he fits Fairchilds offense. Willis, if he plays mlb in the cover 2, may not be as ideal as people would like to think. While he is fast, pass coverage isnt one of his strengths, and the mlb plays such a major component in the cover 2's pass D. Don't get me wrong , I love Willis, but he may not be as "ideal" as we think.
-
Terrific analysis. I love Willis, but would not be upset if we came out of this with Lynch/Harris/DeOssie.
Seems like there are several serviceable LB's in this years draft....Grab a RB in the 1st and LBs round 2-4
-
Why isn't Anthony Thomas a viable #1 option? This blows my mind that people don't think he wouldn't fill in nicely switching time with another RB. I think the once Rookie of the Year is definitley a prime prospect to lead this teams backfield, but that's just me.
LOL
-
The recent success of Frank Gore will drive teams in that direction.
Frank Gore was a MONSTER before his injuries. I'm not saying that Bush stunk, but he doesnt run that hard for a big man. He's not that fast, and he has a broken leg. If you add them up, it doesnt equal a starting rb in the NFL.
-
I dont want anything to do with Pittman. He is a cancer waiting to happen. I would like to see Tanard Jackson from SU, and Jon Beason would be a good fit as well. Quincy Black seems alright also. I am a Tony Hunt and Kenny Irons fan. I just really dont want Pittman.
Why is Pittman a "cancer"? I wanna hear this.
-
Sleeper at WR. Jacoby Jones 6'3 210 pound wideout from DII Lane College (4.49 forty). From what I read he is a crisp route runner with reliable hands. He also played basketball and track in college. He would need work, but I think he is worth a shot in the 4th or 5th. We need a big receiver who can go up and get the ball.
I like Jones too, but he has been rising faster than almost anyone in the draft. I wouldnt be suprised if he got taken in the 2nd or 3rd
-
If Peterson didnt have injuries in his past he may be the 1st player selected. The guy is in a class by himself as far as RB's.
-
They are 2 totally different QB's. Vince is great due to his speed and composure. Russells arm is his best attribute
-
go LB. This class does not run deep in RB at all. after AP there is a drop off in RB. i know some people think Lynch is some amazing player, but im not convinced. And also, due to character issues and from what i can tell an apperant lack of intelligence, i have no doubt Marv and Dick have already passed on this guy. So what do you do now... well you draft the next best player at a need position, and that is a LB. the LB class is by no means great, but there isnt a large drop off in talent between Willis and Poz or Harris... and i know they play different positions, but LBs a able to be moved so i count them as all the same.
So if AP is there at 12, we take him, no question. however, Lynch is not worth the 12th pick nor is any other RB, therefore, we would definetly need to take Willis if he is there, or Poz. simple as that
If the drop off in talent from Willis- Harris isnt too large, why not get Harris or Siler in the 2nd? While I like Willis, I'd rather have Lynch and Harris/siler rather then Willis and pittman/hunt
-
Honestly, I don't think any CB in this draft is top 20 material. I don't think Hall has "great" potential, but will most likely get paid like it when he is allowed to hit the open market. I'd like a RB or DT myself as I don't believe any LB's are top 20 material either, with the exception of Willis, who is borderline top 20 but will go higher because of his pro day 40.
I agree. The Corners and LB's in this draft arent top quality for upper 1st round picks. Willis is the exception, but I'm not totally sold on him yet. I think he COULD be a stud, but still have some doubts.
-
I like that draft but I really think Willis is the pick at 12 if he is available. I think the Bills would have to trade up for a shot at Peterson. So here is my draft
Round 1 - (12) Patrick Willis MLB
If we pass on this guy I think it would be a major mistake.
Round 2 - (43) Kenny Irons RB
A good complement to Thomas
Round 3 - (74) Daymeion Hughes CB
His draft stock has slipped because of his poor 40 time, but would make a great player for our Tampa 2 scheme.
- (92) Aundrae Allison WR
Great speed and is willing to make tough catch over the middle
Round 4 - (111) Doug Free OT
Left tackle with long arms to protect Losman
I like yours too. I loved Irons 2 years ago, but this year, he didnt like the same runner. I didnt see the "make ya miss" moves I did in the past. He has really narrow shoulders too, not much room to get bigger.
-
A solid and realistic draft but to me the gap between Willis and Siler/Harris is far greater than the gap between Lynch and Pittman/Irons and why feel be better going LB first and RB second.
You're entitled to your opinion. if we were to have that same draft and swap out willis and pittman/b. jackson I'd be happy, but my preference is the RB in round 1. I dont believe in M.Bush, T.Hunt, L. Booker or any of the other propects. Pittman and Jackson look like players.
How about drafting all weapons with first three picks?

And we would still have no pass rush and we would get outscored most games and not make the playoffs. sigh
