    first 3 round mock draft (pre-free agency)

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    In this first mock draft I am simply picking players who i think have a shot at being there at our pick and could help out our team in the long run.

     

    Round 1- Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M

    I believe Sammy Watkins will be long gone by our pick, but to be completely honest, I believe Evans could have a better pro career. Of course Evans doesn't wow you with speed, but i believe he has much stronger hands than Watkins (look at the Arkansas tape) and will be much better suited with his size against the more physical NFL defensive backs.

     

    Round 2- Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech

    Amaro is not as much of an athlete as Eric Ebron, but he is big and can catch the ball as well as run block a little better than Ebron. Amaro will add another big target alongside Evans for EJ to grow with. I think if we can get these two big targets for EJ early on in the draft this year he can truly begin to mature and hit his stride in the NFL. (One can hope right?)

     

    Round 3- Shane Skov, LB, Stanford

    I have wanted Skov for acouple of years, but a torn ligament in the knee made his draft stock fall considerably. Watching Skov last year showed me that this guy is funny healed and is a tackling machine that can run from sideline to sideline. I believe that if we can pair him with Kiko we will have two budding stars at the linebacker position.

     

    This draft is very much loaded with talent and i think in the later rounds an offensive and defensive lineman will be drafted as well as a defensive back and possibly a punter.

    Marcus Easley makes the team

    In my ideal WR corp with this talent I'd have Stevie Johnson, tj graham, Robert woods, marquise Goodwin, DaRick Rogers and marcus Easley on the team with Kaufman or maybe hogan on the ps. Looking at our WR's if we cut DaRick hoping to get him on the ps hell be snatched up by another team quick. Kid is special and I think needs to make the roster so he can blossom. Brad smith really isn't doing too much for us and I'd just say cut him. For me the toughest decision would be between Kaufman, hogan and Easley after practice and today's game

    Updated Mock Draft with Best Trade Scenario

    in College Football

    Posted

    The common consensus that "this QB class is one of the worst to come out in a few years" paints all the prospects with a very large brush. As Buddy said, they each have strengths, and if there are only 2 in this class who might become franchise QBs with the right team and proper coaching, that would put us in line at 8 to potentially have one available to us, even if we traded down as you suggested. If Luck or RGIII were there, we'd obviously have to be drafting at 1 or 2. In 2014, we might have to be drafting in the top 2, 3 or 4 to get one of those top QBs people are already talking about in that draft. Your draft would be an exciting one if it happened that way...Eifert, Minter, Rogers, Vernon have all been talked about as playmakers. Just think at QB you have to "go all in" on a guy with a 1st round pick wherever that may be. It's that important in the NFL. I think there are going to be 2, maybe 3 guys who will be franchise QBs in this draft.

    I like your point about the QB's I'm just so torn from all of them and it's very tough for me to pick one and say, "that's the guy" so hopefully we get the right guy wherever that may be. My mock featured many of the skill players I really like in this draft because this draft seems to be very deep.

    Updated Mock Draft with Best Trade Scenario

    in College Football

    Posted

    Ive been working the last week and after doing many mock drafts Ive decided to make one with the best possible trade down scenario. I really took into account many factors and gave us the best players at the best possible spots we could grab them. so, give me your feedback on how you'd like to see these players in a Bills uniform.

     

    Trade: Tampa Bay trades 1st (13), 3rd (73), and 4th (126)

    For Buffalo 1st (8)

    This trade is for the best on both teams. I believe Dee Milliner falls to our pick and Tampa desperately needs corner help. In this trade we move back a few spots but still sit poised to take a big playmaker that we desperately need.

    Here is the actual mock:

    Round 1, Pick 13- Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame- HT: 6’6” WT:250

    As we have seen the league evolve the TE has become a much more important position for teams. Eifert gives us a huge vertical threat and although this is a bit of a surprise first round pick, he gives us a solid TE for years to come. We need offensive weapons and this is a start.

    Round 2, Pick 41- Kevin Minter, LB, LSU- HT: 6’2” WT:242

    Our LB corp is pitiful and it is no doubt that we need to use a top pick on a new LB. Minter is one of the pre-draft visits to One Bills Drive and Buddy loves his southern players. Minter has fallen out of first round talks but I think if we could grab him in the second it could be a steal.

    Round 3, Pick 71- Matt Scott, QB, Arizona- HT: 6’2” WT:220

    Everyone one is calling for a QB in this draft. To put it lightly, this QB class is one of the worst to come out in a few years and that takes away from the relatively strong class despite the QB position. That being said, Scott really intrigues me and I think he could be a good pickup for the players we already have on offense. I know he isn’t the name being thrown around here a lot but Scott definitely brings something to the table and should not be over looked.

    Round 3, Pick 73- Da’Rick Rogers, WR, Tenn. Tech- HT: 6’3” WT: 215

    To put everything out there first, yes, Rogers was kicked off of Tennessee before the season for drug issues. Before that he was really blossoming into a big time receiver. At the start of the season he was projected to be the number one receiver on Tennessee in a very deep WR corp. Rogers is another One Bills Drive attendee and I think the FO could work around his behavioral issues and take the guy in the third.

    Round 4, Pick 108- Jordan Poyer, CB, Org. State- HT: 5’11” WT: 195

    Poyer was first projected very high but the emergence of other CB’s has caused him to fall down the board. Poyer shows a tremendous ability to jump and play the ball in the air. I think he could be a perfect complement to the budding Gilmore to solidify our secondary. Poyer could develop into quite a pleasant surprise for the Bills in years to come.

    Roudn 4, Pick 126- Alvin Bailey, OG, Arkansas- HT: 6’5” WT: 320

    Bailey is my solution to losing Levitre. Of course everyone here is upset at losing a very solid (but not elite) guard, but in reality we cannot pay a guard LT money. So we move on in the fourth round by picking up Bailey. Bailey played in the SEC and held his own against the top competition in college football.

    Round 5, Pick 143- Connor Vernon, WR, Duke- HT: 6’ WT: 195

    I really like the way Vernon catches the ball. He uses his hands and rarely lets the ball come into his chest. Although he is not a burner he is quick in and out of cuts and runs god routes. Vernon can develop into a good 3 or 4 WR for us. He has a high level of maturity and was able to make the best of his opportunities on a sub-par college team.

    Round 6, Pick 177- Lavar Edwards, LB, LSU- HT: 6’4” WT: 277

    We go back to another LB in the later rounds, and once again we go to LSU. Edwards would most likely play on the outside as a pass rusher. We need a ton of depth to run this new defense so that is why Edwards is the pick here.

    After the draft im always excited to see which UDFA’s we bring into camp. This year here are some names I would like to see us bring in:

    Alec Lemon, WR, Syracuse

    Marcus Sales, WR, Syracuse

    Mike Herrmann, QB, RPI

    Cooper Taylor, SS, Richmond

    …not too familiar with many possible UDFA’s but these guys caught my eye and I don’t believe they’ll be drafted.

    I hope you all find this helpful! I look forward to your feedback and opinions!

    Mid level FA WRs still available, recommendations?

    I'm just throwing this out there but this draft does seem to be stacked at WR. What if at 8 we took cordarrelle Patterson then in the third round took another reciever like quinton Patton, DaRick Rogers or Robert woods. It's kind of like what Indy did last year with their multiple top draft offensive skill players. These two with a QB possibly in round 2 could solidify the WR position and give us that rookie QB everyone wants. Thoughts?

    Chad Kelly...that is why I quoted "I dread when Kelly's jerk nephew is eligible for the league in a few years."

    Chad Kelly is the backup to tajh Boyd at Clemson this year and barring any major setbacks he'll start his junior year. I've heard all the jerk comments about him and played against him to know the kind of person he is. But honestly, if he gets us wins I don't care...that's the point I'm at with our QB position.

    I have been pretty disappointed by the Bills FA approach so far but I went on NFL.com to look at the remaining players available. there are still a few I would really like to see us make an attempt at. Number one on my list is WR Brandon Gibson. Next I would like to see us try for CB Aqib Talib, I know he has ahd off the field issues but he is good. next I would like to see us sign OG Brandon Moore as a stop gap for a few years. another player I would like to see is SS Michael Huff from the Raiders. he was recently released but maybe we could get him. we do have a lot of cap room to spend and we need to spend 90% of it. a somewhat interesting player to keep an eye on is LB Brad Jones. I just really thihnik we need a bunch of new linebackers to evaluate and stop the bleeding of our defense. the last three players I would like to see us grab would be Julian Edalman, the WR from the Patriots, Brandon Myers the TE or Tracey Porter the CB for some competition. I know there are very slim odds that we get one of these players let alone multiple but I can hope right? I hope the bills do have some plan and aren't just deciding to throw away this season.

    Where did you see this? That would be great. Pettine likes his CBs and Smith would be a huge upgrade. I would be thrilled with Gilmore, Smith, Leo and then Williams and Brooks. It would also allow us to move Williams to safety. I havent seen any reports of Smith visiting the Bills though. Hope it's true.

    I saw this on twitter....but I'm not sure how to post it here. It said the bills eagles and dolphins are in play and right now he is looking over his options.

    Is Jimmy Clausen an option?

    Matt Cassel. One year. League minimum. Draft a QB in the 3rd or 4th round this year and then draft the franchise QB with the #1 overall in 2014.

    I'm just gonna say it....if we have the #1 overall pick next year screw the QB, get jadaveon clowney with the first pick then one of the QB's in the second, there is alot next year. Eh, I can dream right?

    Bills sign Manny Lawson

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    I've seen manny Lawson as an underachiever his whole career, but I'm not mad at all by this pick up. Bottom line is we need linebackers. Mario will be one of the Lon's so look for bradham and Lawson to battle for the other outside LB position. Bradham could be pushed inside as well. Who knows?
