I believe that game one against the jets our reciever opposite Stevie will be either Marcus Easley or TJ Graham. Both are very fast, TJ being the faster but Easley is taller which could match up against the bigger more physical jets receivers. Mark it down here tho!!! Don't sleep on Kamar Aiken, reminds me of Stevie his first couple of years and I think he can develop.

Leodis Mc"Fumbles" for an UDFA next year
Chris Kelsey for Aaron Maybin-I think he'll be a steal, we can outsmart the rest of the league;)

The way I see it...thigpen sucks and if fitzy gets hurt I'm scared to death our season is for nothing, so I say bring in VY and let him be the backup, he's 1000x more capable than thigpen an he's mobile, I think he's a backup QB and i say give him a shot in b'lo

Bobbie massie OT Ole Miss...southern (SEC) player who started more than one year, strong and a pretty solid player on that line, probs higher on buddy's board than alot of people are thinking, don't be surprised that if he lasts we take him
-
Quick is my favorite player in the draft, i would love him in the third...maybe lavonte david falls to us in the second? that would be a god-send
Super Bowl or Bust

Brian quick WR Appalachian state
-
They'll open the draft, and those first two picks will be two minutes each, they usually just go up to the podium announce the draft has started and then leave and come back up with the pick
-
10 mins for a first round then it goes 7 in second and then 5 in the rest
-
1.happy-we filled a need
2. DAMMIT!!! We have great safeties
3. Kuechly-yesssss....we have a pro bowler now
4. Be happier with Brian quick but Floyd would make me happy too
5. How did he fall to us?!?!?!?! Is there something wrong with him???
6.what the f***
7.im gonna be a 49ers fan now, I've lost all hope for this team

So the practice of Mock Drafts is a bit silly, but I do one every year. Why? Two reasons: (1) it’s fun, and (2) it allows me to gather my thoughts regarding where a player is likely to be taken, which makes tracking the draft more interesting.
Before we get to the actual picks, here’s how this sucker gets put together: I base each pick on a hierarchy that places a premium on the quality of the football player (includes both on-field and off-field acumen), followed by how well said player fits the team’s identity/scheme/makeup, followed lastly by whether or not he fills a need. So, in short, player ability > best fit > team need.
Let me also add that the following is not a statement of what I would do, but rather a best guess as to what I think each team will be thinking come tomorrow night. As always, I welcome your feedback. Okay, here we go:
1. Indianapolis Colts – Andrew Luck - QB/Stanford
No drama here, new coach + new GM + no more Manning adds up to Andrew Luck.
2. Washington Redskins (f/ St. L) Robert Griffin III - QB/Baylor
Again, no mystery, Mike Shanahan gets his man.
3. Minnesota Vikings Matt Kalil - OT/USC
I don’t buy the Vikings’ “we don’t like Kalil” stuff. Top OT in the draft, fits their system, major need; just makes too much sense.
4. Cleveland Browns Trent Richardson - RB/Alabama
They need the best offensive weapon they can get, and Richardson’s been called the best player in the draft by some.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Morris Claiborne - CB/LSU
Great value pick for a team that could lose top CB Aquib Talib to suspension and Ronde Barber to the geriatric community.
6. St. Louis Rams (f/ Was) Justin Blackmon - WR/Oklahoma State
The best remaining player falls to the team that needs his services the most; Jeff Fisher finally gets Sam Bradford a quality target.
7. Philadelphia Eagles (f/ Jax) Fletcher Cox - DT/Mississippi State
*** Projected Trade ***
Philly’s interior DL was awful last year, DL coach Jim Washburn LOVES interior pass rushers, and Andy Reid is never shy to trade up. Plus Cox is almost the consensus “next best” after the top 6.
8. Miami Dolphins Ryan Tannehill - QB/Texas A&M
I can’t shake the feeling that Owner Stephen Ross wants to make a splash, and selecting a QB would do the trick. If not, they could go with Michael Floyd.
9. Carolina Panthers Michael Floyd - WR/Notre Dame
Lots of options for the Panthers here (Gilmore, Kuechly, Coples), but I’m giving them Floyd. He’s a big target and a top-10 talent, and they need weapons for Cam Newton.
10. Buffalo Bills Jonathan Martin - OT/Stanford
As Bills’ fans, we’ve heard all the chatter and conjecture, and here’s what I’ve come up with: they want a LT, they seem to like Martin, and they think the WR and CB class is deep, so that’s where I’m going with this.
11. Kansas City Chiefs Luke Kuechly - LB/Boston College
Head Coach Romeo Crennel loves active inside ‘backers, and pairing Kuechly with Derrick Johnson would add some pop to their front 7.
12. Seattle Seahawks Melvin Ingram - LB/South Carolina
For a team that lost LB David Hawthorne in FA and needs pass rush help, the most athletic defender in the draft would be a great fit.
13. Arizona Cardinals Cordy Glenn - OT/Georgia
OL Coach Russ Grimm loves big, athletic, versatile linemen. Tell me that’s not Glenn…
14. Dallas Cowboys Mark Barron - S/Alabama
Word is the Cowboys are hot for Barron, having him drop to 14 would be huge.
15. Jacksonville Jaguars Stephon Gilmore - CB/South Carolina
*** Projected Trade ***
The Jags move down 8 slots and still get their man. He’ll solidify a secondary that already boasts Rashean Mathis and Aaron Ross.
16. New York Jets Reilly Reiff - OT/Iowa
After watching Wayne Hunter get schooled at RT, the Jets go with the best RT on the board.
17. Cincinnati Bengals (f/ Oak) Dontari Poe - DT/Memphis
Marvin Lewis can’t resist taking a guy that could become the next Haloti Ngata.
18. San Diego Chargers David Decastro - OG/Stanford
The best player on the board goes to a team that lost one of the best OGs in football to retirement.
19. Chicago Bears Quintin Coples - DE/North Carolina
The slide ends here as the Bears pair Coples with UNC alum Julius Peppers to bolster their pass rush.
20. Tennessee Titans Dre Kirkpatrick - CB/Alabama
The Titans take the best player on the board and fill what became their biggest need after losing Cortland Finnegan in FA.
21. Cincinnati Bengals Whitney Mercilus - DE/Illinois
The departures of Jonathan Fanene and Frostee Rucker leave Cinci bereft of DEs. Mercilus lead the NCAA in sacks in 2011.
22. Cleveland Browns (f/ Atl) Kendall Wright - WR/Baylor
Another playmaker for the Browns offense, Wright and Richardson…nice haul.
23. Detroit Lions Nick Perry - DE/USC
Cliff Avril is unsigned as a franchise player, and Kyle Vanden Bosch is like 90 years old, adding another pass rusher to Jim Schwartz’s defense makes sense here.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers Dont'a Hightower - LB/Alabama
This one is simple: Hightower is a great defender, and Pittsburgh needs an ILB to replace the departed James Farrior.
25. Denver Broncos Michael Brockers - DT/LSU
Head Coach John Fox smells value with Brockers at the 25 slot, and they desperately need to bolster their run defense.
26. Houston Texans Stephen Hill - WR/Georgia Tech
The offense made due without a No. 2 WR last year, but they want to take some pressure of their running game and Andre Johnson. Hill can stretch the field and do just that.
27. New England Patriots (f/ NO) Courtney Upshaw - LB/Alabama
Not too many expect Upshaw to fall this far, but he just doesn’t seem to excel at any one thing. That suits NE just fine, as they need a jack-of-all-trades LB in their 3-4.
28. Green Bay Packers Shea McClellin - LB/Boise State
A fast-riser, McClellin can provide much-needed pass rush help opposite Clay Matthews.
29. San Francisco 49ers Coby Fleener - TE/Stanford
Jim Harbaugh can’t resist adding his former star TE, which will provide their offense with another pass-catching target.
30. Baltimore Ravens Peter Konz - C/Wisconsin
GM Ozzie Newsome has always been a BPA guy, and he gets Konz, who will eventually replace Matt Birk at center.
31. Houston Texans Mike Adams - OT/Ohio State
*** Projected Trade ***
When has NE ever kept both first-round picks? Houston moves up to get the RT they need after cutting ties with Eric Winston
32. New York Giants Amini Silatolu - OG/Midwestern State
Call it a hunch, but I think several teams love Silatolu, and he makes sense for the G-Men, who need to stabilize their OL.
Round 2
1 33 St. Louis Rams Doug Martin - RB/Boise State
2 34 Indianapolis Colts Chandler Jones - DE/Syracuse
3 35 Minnesota Vikings Alshon Jeffrey - WR/South Carolina
4 36 Tampa Bay Buccaneers David Wilson - RB/Virginia Tech
5 37 Cleveland Browns Brandon Weeden - QB/Oklahoma State
6 38 Jacksonville Jaguars Mohamed Sanu - WR/Rutgers
7 39 St. Louis Rams (f/ Was) Janoris Jenkins - CB/North Alabama
8 40 Carolina Panthers Jerel Worthy - DT/Michigan State
9 41 Buffalo Bills Brian Quick - WR/Appalachain State
10 42 Miami Dolphins Andre Branch - DE/Clemson
11 43 Seattle Seahawks Kendell Reyes - DT/UConn
12 44 Kansas City Chiefs Josh Robinson - CB/Central Florida
13 45 Dallas Cowboys Dwayne Allen - TE/Clemson
14 46 Jacksonville Jaguars (f/ Phi) Lavonte David - LB/Nebraska
15 47 New York Jets Rueben Randle - WR/LSU
16 48 New England Patriots (f/ Oak) Harrison Smith - S/Notre Dame
17 49 San Diego Chargers Vinny Curry - DE/Marshall
18 50 Chicago Bears Orson Charles - TE/Georgia
19 51 Philadelphia Eagles (f/ Ari) Kirk Cousins - QB/Michigan State
20 52 Tennessee Titans Trumaine Johnson - CB/Montana
21 53 Cincinnati Bengals Kevin Zeitler - OG/Wisconsin
22 54 Detroit Lions Bobby Massie - OT/Ole Miss
23 55 Atlanta Falcons Mychal Kendricks - LB/California
24 56 Pittsburgh Steelers Devon Still - DT/Penn State
25 57 Denver Broncos Brock Osweiler - QB/Arizona State
26 58 New England Patriots (f/ Hou) Brandon Thompson - DT/Clemson
27 ** Selection Forfeitted **
28 59 Green Bay Packers Brandon Taylor - S/LSU
29 60 Baltimore Ravens Lamar Miller - RB/Miami
30 61 San Francisco 49ers Brandon Brooks - OG/Miami (OH)
31 62 New England Patriots Jayron Hosley - CB/Virginia Tech
32 63 New York Giants Zach Brown - LB/North Carolina
favorite player in this draft, hope we land him!!!!

Since joining TBD in Feb i've put together about 4-5 mock drafts so today, a day before the draft heres my final mock five rounds
1-10: Stephen Gilmore CB, South Carolina
2-41: Brian Quick WR, Appalachian State
3-72: James Brown OT, Troy
4a: Tank Carder LB, Texas Christian
4b: Russell Wilson QB, Wisconsin
5a: Chase Minnefield CB, Virginia
5b: Matt McCants OT, UAB
personally if we came away from this draft with quick id be extremely hapy, hes my favorite player in the draft
Super Bowl or Bust
GO BILLS!!!

Wait....maybin when clady, orakpo and Matthews are on the board???
-
I thought we already picked maybin!! ???
-
Kalil is the tackle from Stanford, and a wonderful choice for Buffalo, but I don't see that happening. We can always hope though.
Martin is the tackle from Stanford and I would hate to see him here, ik everyone likes kalil from USC but both seem alittle to soft for me an what I want our o line to be, I'd rather go Gilmore, kuechly, Floyd, Kirkpatrick in that order
-
I'd hope carrington could be the DE opposite Mario with mark Anderson as a situational pass rusher for sacks just like he as in new England, just HMO
Super Bowl or Bust
GO BILLS!!!
-
I like Barron, BUT IF THE BILLS DRAFT HIM ID BE DEVESTATED!!! I really want kuechly or gilmore...I know Barron is projected to cover the tough tight ends in our division but Barron isn't a cover safety!!! Barron is a box safety and is used more for tackles within five yards of the line and the blitz, he isn't that impressive in coverage considering who he's going against with a great D...Im not saying he won't succeed in the league but I just think he's not the right pick for Buffalo, possibly a smokescreen so we can trade for more picks to a team like Dallas or San Diego since they both love him, besides our safeties are great why keep adding to a bottleneck position group?
Super Bowl or Bust
GO BILLS!!!

As much as people like Blackmon as the draft process has progressed im starting to like him less and less, yeah he was explosive in college but he didn't play elite talent, he is only 6 foot and he's not as physical as Floyd or others... At times he seems to get "lost" muscled by bigger receivers. If we are, which we should to address that starting WR spot in this draft I want one of two guys...Floyd from ND at 10 or Brian quick App St at 41
Super Bowl or Bust
GO BILLS!!!
-
The bills are gonna draft BPA...they like Tannehill tho, IMO I think it will be between kuechly, Gilmore, Floyd and Barron...in the latest mocks Gilmore and Floyd are gone so I don't think we get either, I believe in buddy and I think if Tannehill drops to us we...
1. Draft and develope him (Fitz is good not great)
2. Trade for acouple more picks
Either way seemingly works for the bills and I think come draft day buddy will have another excellent draft
Super Bowl or Bust
GO BILLS!!!

Tannehill-dolphins
Floyd-jaguars
Upshaw-chargers
Decastro-chiefs
Kuechly-bills

im pretty sure that there is no one here who is upset over what buddy nix and the bufalo bills were able to do this offseason in really beefing up our d-line with mario williams and mark anderson.
i think the generally accepted principle around the league as far as d-line's go is the new york giants having the deepest, best d-line. bu i wanna know where everyone at TBD thinks we rank.
heres what im saying:
1. Giants
2. Bills
3. Vikings
4. Saints
5. 49ers
Give me your feedback
Super Bowl or Bust
GO BILLS !!!

Panthers I think are #1 Williams and Stewart and goodson
Then bills at #2 Freddie and CJ
Saints Pierre thomas, mark Ingram, Chris ivory
Texans Arian foster, ben tate
Finally at #5 cowboys demarco Murray, and Felix jones
-
id rather have gilmore...sign byrd this year to a big contract and george wilson/searcy at SS played very well last year...i would be pumped to have gilmore/williams at the corner spots

Josh Robinson CB UCF
Jayron Hosley CB Virginia Tech
