That's pretty much my thinking on Kelsay as well. He's usually been the 5th or 6th best player on some bad Bills defenses. That's not a ringing endorsement. He's not terrible, but I have a hard time believing he's anything more than an average starting DE. I certainly don't understand this recent push to make him out to be some key component of the Bills D over the years. He's been an OK player, but that's about it.

There's nothing wrong with adding some depth along the offensive line. I like it, its a solid late pick and my guess is that he probably would've went a little higher if not for his age.

This is the first one that I've been underwhelmed with. But yeah, its just a fifth. I'm not that worried about it.

I guess Moats, Batten and White needed some company on the sideline? OK, so I don't hate it, I just kinda think...meh. Oh well, its the 5th round.

I'm not going to disagree. Mayock may be better than anything ESPN has, but overall, NFL network's coverage has been underwhelming the last couple of years. I think I'm going to watch ESPN's coverage today for a change.

No, but I don't think drafting Glenn cost them a shot at that LT, either. I don't think anyone else on the board stood much of a chance of being an instant upgrade at LT and under those circumstances, the next best thing is an upgrade at one of the other OL spots. And I'm not completely writing off the possibility of Glenn becoming a solid LT, either.

I don't think I would bother. There are still prospects out there at other positions who could potentially come in and contribute something this season to the team, and I'd rather have that than a fairly ordinary QB prospect.

There still appear to be several good WR and CB prospects available. I expect we'll take another of each by the end of R5. Given how thin they still are at OT, I would expect another addition there as well, and there are a few good ones still out there. OLB is an obvious need, but its looking pretty thin at this point, as well as at QB. A few possibilities for R4 and R5? WR Marvin Jones WR Nick Toon WR Marvin McNutt WR Greg Childs LB Nigel Bradham OL James Brown OT Tom Compton OC Phillip Blake QB Ryan Lindley QB Kirk Cousins Probably 8-10 CBs.

Mayock didn't like Glenn because he doesn't think he has the feet to play LT. Fair enough, I think, but we'll see. For my part, I don't care if he ends up at RG or RT. They're still getting a really good prospect who will help them and be an upgrade up front.

I like Mayock, but I don't take his word as the gospel. The funny thing about guys like Mayock and Kiper, no one ever holds them accountable for their misses. They have plently of them, too.

I think they still would have taken Gilmore. I haven't got the stats in front of me, but I'd guess that a 3rd CB is on the field for 60-70% of the snaps. The 3rd LB usually comes out to make room, and that makes him less valuable, especially when the other two LB spots are apparently locked down with Barnett and Sheppard.

I can't complain. I'm not crazy about CBs in R1, but Gilmore was a solid pick and should be a good player at a position of need. I don't know if Cordy Glenn will be a LT or not, but I'm not sure I care, either. He'll be a quality starter at RG or RT even if he doesn't make it at LT, and that's perfectly fine with me. As for TJ Graham, yeah, I expected him to go a couple of rounds later than he did, but I'm not stupid enough to claim I know more about a somewhat obscure draft prospect than the Bills scouts. If they think he's worth a 3rd, maybe he was. I'm willing to give them, and Graham, the benefit of the doubt. The same ones complaining about Graham now would have been screaming 'REAAAACCCHHH!!!' had the Bills selected Steve Johnson in the 3rd round back in '08. Of course, we all know differently now, don't we?

No, no, no. As I learned in the shoutbox last night, you have it all wrong. The NFL GMs and scouts who actually have the resources to adequately scout virtually *every single player* eligible for this draft, provide an in-depth report on them, and who have far more access to their college programs and coaches probably know less than the draft-tards on the websites who *might* scout the top 150-200, can properly sum up a prospect in one short paragraph, and largely rely on the ever-accurate practice of recycling each other's info.

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. He has no shortage of speed or athletic ability necessary for the position and has improved every year. Given their lack of speed at the position and the need for the skillset Roscoe Parrish brought to the offense and return units, I think it makes sense. I think most of the complaints are coming from people who expected them to draft a bigger possession receiver before they'd draft a speed receiver.

I thought WR made more sense for them here, but I like the pick. He may or may not be a LT, but I think he can certainly be a quality OG or even RT.

Way too early, if you believe the draft sites. Most seem to project him in the last three rounds.

Would be a nice addition...with one of those 4th round picks, at the earliest. Honestly, I think a safety in the first three rounds would be a dumb pick for this team.

I don't think Quick will last until our third rounder. I'd rather they draft a WR in R2, anyway, as I have my doubts as to whether any of these remaining OTs would start over Hairston this year, while the receiver could easily make an impact in three and four WR sets even if he didn't actually start.

That's a big if. He hasn't played a down in two years in the NFL, and while I think he deserves a shot, you can't rely on him as the answer given his history. The Bills have to give themselves a realistic plan B. And one more thing...every team in the league has a guy just like him, a guy who has all the talent in the world but just can't seem to stay healthy or make an impact for one reason or another.

I think they view him primarily as a right tackle and I don't think they'd be all that interested in picking him.

I absolutely hate taking DBs in R1, but I think this one makes sense and its a solid start to this draft. Now its time to concentrate on the offense.

Your guess is the same as my guess. I think those three guys are the targets at 10, with Kalil being their top choice.

1) WR Michael Floyd, Notre Dame 2) CB Josh Robinson, UCF 3) OT Jeff Allen, Illinois 4) LB Nigel Bradham, FSU 4) CB Terrence Frederick, Texas A&M 5) WR Jarius Wright, Arkansas 5) OT Tom Compton, South Dakota 6) QB Nick Foles, Arizona 7) OLB Miles Burris, San Diego State 7) OC Grant Garner, Oklahoma State This is one of the hardest Bills drafts to project in quite a long time, but I expect a heavy lean toward offense overall, regardless of their first pick. After all the talk of CBs, LBs and safeties at 10, I'll go with the unconventional (and probably wrong) prediction: their top three choices with their first pick are Kalil, Blackmon and Floyd, in that order, and that Floyd will be the only one remaining and will be their pick.

Some are going to call you crazy for that Martin pick, but I think you could easily end up being right. Just listening to their comments about him, I think they like him a lot and perhaps enough to take him even at 10.

Just to add to your point here, the Giants won the Super Bowl with a defense that allowed more yards during the regular season than the Bills did. They weren't that far behind in points allowed, either, at 400 vs 434 for the Bills.
