Can't take credit for finding this.....someone on another board found it. The twitter looks encouraging.....invited to Steelers camp, but saw a better opportunity in Buffalo. Would be cool to have him in camp.

Saw this on another board....no one seems sure. Alex Tanney twitter

Graham was Gailey's pick........Carder is Wannstadt's. This makes up for not getting Kuechley......I've been saying his name (to myself) since round 3.

All we need now is tank carder and kirk cousins. I love all the picks. Graham is our Denarius Moore.

Denarius Moore - raiders was considered a 7 rounder or fa. The raiders ignored that and made their own analysis and picked him in the 5th. Moore and Graham look like the same prospect. There will be 3rd rounders through 7th rounders that outplay blackmon and floyd....happens every year.

I really think Kuechley was a consideration (if he was there), but I don't think he would have been taken. I think they saw better value in getting Gilmore and then Carder in the 2nd or 3rd round. He is the kind of LB Wannstadt wants, and he did make a pre-draft visit. FROM WALTERFOOTBALL.com Tank Carder, ILB/OLB, TCU Height: 6-2. Weight: 236. 40 Time: 4.56. Bench: 19. Vertical: 34.5. Broad: 10-1. Arm: 31 1/2. Hand: 9. Projected Round (2012): 3. 4/25/12: Carder had a phenomenal Combine and pro day where he showed off more speed than many gave him credit for. With those two performances, he illustrated his speed to cover a lot of ground in the NFL. Carder has received a fair amount of interest in the form of pre-draft visits. Carder started out the season slowly and looked like he missed teammate Tanner Brock, but in the second half of the season, Carder picked up his play. He finished with 70 tackles with 4.5 tackles for a loss this year. Carder also had two interceptions returned for scores this season. One was returned 26 yards and the other was a 69-yard run back. He is a tough football player who has good tackling technique. For the second straight year, Carder was the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year. Carder combines good speed and instincts. He could continue to add some bulk and play on the inside of a 3-4 defense. Carder has the quickness to play outside linebacker in a 4-3 defense and would fit as a 4-3 middle linebacker if he continues to add weight. Carder is a high-character individual who will be a positive presence in the locker room. 8/25/11: Tank Carder has a lot of buzz about him heading into his senior year. Carder had 60 tackles last season with 9.5 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks, one interception and one fumble recovery. The leader of TCU's defense, Carder was a second-team AP All-American last season. In 2009, Carder broke into the starting lineup and registered 89 tackles with 10 tackles for a loss. Carder looks like a middle linebacker for multiple defenses although he can play outside linebacker as well. Carder is a hard-nosed football player.

Decastro would be a surprise pick and possibly BPA.

This is 100% correct. For anyone that disaggrees, you just don't remember Brady marching up the field throwing to wide open TEs all day. It was embarrassing.

Here's a good article by Charley Casserly....he says Berry is the only Safety rated higher in the past years: Charley Casserly on Barron

Barron plays like a linebacker though. He also covers. He was making plays from SS that the linebacker should have been making. I am just saying I would not be upset with that pick. He is a beast.

Barron highlights I was all set on Fletcher Cox or Luke Kuechly. Then heard all the rumbling about Barron. Have any of the negative posters watched this guy. He hits like a mack truck, and from the looks of it, was the general on that Alabama team. For anyone that says we have enough good safeties.....we haven't had a safety like this in forever. Can you imagine Barron in the first and Hightower in the 2nd? I am 100% OK with either Barron or Kuechly at #10.

True, but the guy is dominant, can play all DL positions, and would help destroy any QB they play.

Why wouldn't they? They can't rely on having 5 starters, and NOTHING and I mean NOTHING to rotate in. Cox can play DT and DE. What happens if Kyle can't come back...plug in Heard or Troup....are you kidding me....then Mario will double-teamed. Also, Fletcher Cox is a BEAST. I love the first 2 picks.

......and Fletcher Cox can play anywhere on the D-LINE, keeping everyone fresh.

Yes, anything could happen. I hope he is 100%, because I would love Kuechly. I'm sure the Bills know more about Kyle's injury/surgery than any of us know. But if they feel they need a starting DT, would Fletcher Cox "fill the Bill"?

I really like Kuechly.....I think he would be a great player for my son to watch and learn from, but what if Kyle Williams isn't healthy this year? Not having another good DT would offset having Mario Williams. Maybe someone like Fletcher Cox would be a better option? He is versatile too.....can play DT and DE....and play them well. It would be terrible for the defense if Kyle couldn't stay on the field, and they had to rely on someone like Heard or Troup to come in. Fletcher Cox is a BEAST.

Does anyone have the pre-draft list from last year, or the last 2 years? It would be interesting to see how many guys on these lists were actually drafted by the Bills.

Every year there are a few players I really want in a Bills uniform. Then another team drafts them and I am pissed. I most wanted Spiller and Dareus. This year I most want Keuchly and Fleener. How about you? .........and Tank Carder.

It's actually Olof Pilar. Canadian phenom OT.

Just was on youtube and stumbled across multiple highlights of Vontaze Burfict. The guy looks to be a beast. I wish we had that intimadation on this defense. When I was looking at Keuchly and Carder, I was expecting big hits like I saw from Burfict....really didn't see any. I think every tackle Burfict made was a big intimidating hit. What is the knock on him?

Do they both play OLB? If we had these 2 guys added, what would the defense look like as far as linebackers?

I have seen these 2 guys in a few games and every time, these are the 2 guys that stood out on their defense. I am not versed enough on defenses, especially the 4-3 defense, so I'm not sure where these 2 guys would fit in. Do we have a spot for them? Are they similar players? Could these 2 players be on the field at the same time? What are the names of the linebacker positions in a 4-3? I'm asking for info from someone who knows more about LBs in a 4-3 defense. All I know is that I'd love to have both of them on the Bills. Where are they expected to be drafted?

I really want a solid OLB, but we need OL help, and a QB of the future.

That's great! I love this guy. Maybe if he wouldn't have knocked Farve out they would have had a better chance and multiple sacks by Moats?
