I picked Huff in the Dallas Morning News draft...
Draft Guru Rick Gosselin said "The eight best players in this draft went in the first eight picks, which is a great start for any mock draft. So my hat's off to the selectors at the top. They've obviously been paying attention this draft season."
Huff was the 8th out of 8 (obviously).
My comment was "They've had bad luck with Michaels from Texas before (Mike Williams in 2002)
, but he's the best playmaker on the board. The Bills will go for offensive and defensive line help in subsequent rounds."There were a couple of bad picks - Anthony Fasano in Rd 1, Tye Hill not getting drafted, but overall was fairly true to form.
-
"NOT-a" worthy pick at #8.
-
no mock has Hawk dropping below 6.
-
I'm the official Bills GM for the Dallasnews draft. Open to suggestions. Trades aren't allowed.
-
Marcus Vick, QB, VT. I think he'll be a 6th or 7th round steal.

Gosselin is usually "in the know" with the GMs. He beats Kiper and the other draftniks. Check out who he has us drafting....has me excited!
Rick Gosselin's mock draft
01:23 AM CDT on Sunday, April 16, 2006
In their 46-year history, the Oakland Raiders have never used a first-round draft pick on a player from the University of Texas. But then there has never been a player the caliber of Vince Young available when it came time for the Raiders to pick.
Young is easily the most scrutinized player to hit an NFL draft board this decade because he's not the prototypical pro quarterback. At 6-4, 230 pounds, he has a linebacker's size with a running back's legs and a quarterback's arm. He rushed for 1,050 yards, finished third in the NCAA in passing efficiency and took his Texas Longhorns to the national title.
But Al Davis is the league's maverick, both on the field and off, and doesn't back off from players different from the norm. So give Young to the Raiders in the first mock draft offering from the Dallas Morning News. Here's the rest of the first round:
Team Player Pos. College
1. Houston Reggie Bush HB Southern California
Bush was the best player in college football last season and has a Heisman Trophy as proof. He's the best player in this draft and likely will have the first overall pick as proof. Pencil him in today as the 2006 NFL Rookie of the Year.
2. New Orleans Matt Leinart QB Southern California
3. Tennessee Jay Cutler QB Vanderbilt
4. N.Y. Jets Mario Williams DE North Carolina State
5. Green Bay A.J. Hawk OLB Ohio State
6. San Francisco Vernon Davis TE Maryland
7. Oakland Vince Young QB Texas
8. Buffalo D'Brickashaw Ferguson OT Virginia
If there's a run of quarterbacks at the top of the draft, as there is in this mock, an elite player is going to slide. In this case it's Ferguson, the best blocker on the board and a top-three value.
9. Detroit Michael Huff CB/S Texas
10. Arizona Haloti Ngata DT Oregon
11. St. Louis Jimmy Williams CB Virginia Tech
12. Cleveland Brodrick Bunkley DT Florida State
13. Baltimore Jonathan Joseph CB South Carolina
14. Philadelphia Ernie Sims OLB Florida State
15. Denver Manny Lawson DE North Carolina State
16. Miami Winston Justice OT Southern California
17. Minnesota Chad Greenway OLB Iowa
18. Dallas Santonio Holmes WR Ohio State
With two starting wideouts in their 30s, the Cowboys need some youth on the flank. Holmes brings big-play potential in the Terry Glenn mold, averaging 18.4 yards per catch last season.
19. San Diego Antonio Cromartie CB Florida State
20. Kansas City Tamba Hali DE Penn State
21. New England Bobby Carpenter OLB Ohio State
22. Denver Laurence Maroney HB Minnesota
23. Tampa Bay John McCargo DT North Carolina State
24. Cincinnati Donte Whitner S Ohio State
25. N.Y. Giants DeAngelo Williams HB Memphis
A run on defensive players in the teens could push the bulk of the running-back board into the 20s. Good backs like Laurence Maroney and DeAngelo Williams could fall into the laps of good teams.
26. Chicago Tye Hill CB Clemson
27. Carolina LenDale White HB Southern California
28. Jacksonville Ashton Youboty CB Ohio State
29. N.Y. Jets Kamerion Wimbley DE Florida State
30. Indianapolis Joseph Addai HB LSU
31. Seattle Chris Chester G Oklahoma
32. Pittsburgh Jason Allen CB/S Tennessee

Working today....but then again, I'm Jewish!
Oh, no beer for me because it's Passover - pass the kosher wine!

IIRC, Byron Franklin was traded straight up for Pete Metzelaars, who was a big part of the offense in the late 80s-early 90s.
Riddick made a little contribution for the Bills - if nothing else, he made the Bills draft TT.
-
I agree that the draft projections make a lot of sense for the Bills.
I still see someone (my guess: Arizona) making the move to #8 to get Cutler. I think the Bills will have the opportunity to trade down.
If Farve retires, there's a chance that GB takes one of the QBs (probably Cutler), so 'Zona will have to trade higher to get a QB.

Price had trouble getting on the field in Dallas trying to beat out the legendary Patrick Crayton and Terence Copper for the 3rd and 4th WR jobs.
I'll believe in Peerless when (if) I see him on the field.

D'Brick takes football seriously. He knew that the combine was a "job interview" and dressed in appropriate attire - suit and tie.

Rohan Davey was Josh Reed's QB.

Today's a better day for a birthday!

Andre Davis is a great guy - a high character player with some talent. If the Bills sign him, I'll tell you the story about meeting him.
He's from upstate NY, so the weather won't bother him.
-
If the Bills cut Moulds, give me Givens to replace him. I think he'd flourish with the Bills or wherever he ends up.

I thought that Summer intentionally got herself kicked off the show. She acted as if she didn't want to be there.

Does Miro's baby have the monobrow???

my wife loves her Nissan Murano. The heated seats come in handy during our cold Dallas winters.

While in Vail, stop by Montaneros and say "HI" to Keith (the GM of the property). In addition to being the best man at my wedding, he's a Bills fan from Williamsville.

His throwing motion has been compared to flinging *poo* from his hand. Once I heard that, I couldn't watch him throw without laughing.
If you noticed during the Rose Bowl, he didn't complete a pass longer than 15 yards. I think he's going to have a problem throwing the ball in the NFL.

Seattle thought about selecting a punter, but instead selects:
I think the 49ers will trade up to get Bush

I disagree...they can get D'Angelo Williams later in the first round, meaning they'll have 2 weapons (V Davis and Williams/Maroney/White) in the 1st round to help the offense.
