Bump - Drafttek changed the pick from 42 to 41, but not from 74 to 72.

Haha - Quoted for truth

And he was another guy that fell into the in / out of being hurt in the middle/end of the year. A lot of these guys got great in game experience that can only help them going forward. Another game to see him do well in is the Oakland game the week before - that fourth down catch was insanely hard and under-appreciated.

That order is actually incorrect per the Bills themselves: Per Bills I am not trying to be argumentative, but as a base the order in the entire draft for those picks are off and as such any simulation is going to be off. I've looked on NFL.com, gbnreport and they all corroborate it. Draft Order Seeing Coach Wannstedt's defenses in the past, and the way he's spoken specifically about Morrison unsolicited on Sirius and other outlets, I'm more than happy to watch and disagree on your assessment of his role in the team. Joe Buscaglia's Mock And priority wise, wouldn't it be better to put those positions at P3 to ensure there is no reach? From reading the site I thought that P3 meant you want a starter but you're not willing to reach for one?

Don't forget in his final PC's he also said the famous "They took the sails right out of our wind" ala Bullough as well!

He really doesn't care - spent most of pre-FA saying the Bills wouldn't spend and if they tried no one would take their money...

Link Round 1 - Michael Floyd, Round 2 - Lavonte David, Round 3 - Brandon Boykin, Round 4 - Matt McCants, Joe Adams, Round 5 - Marcus Forston, Brock Osweiler, Round 6 - Deangelo Peterson, Round 7 - Aaron Henry Astro, I've got few questions about the picks: 1. Are they going to fix the draft order? Buffalo has 10, 41, 72 etc before the comp picks are added to change rounds 4 and on. 2. Are the picks what you think the Bills will do or what you want them to do? 3. Morrison is going to the be SAM (per several interviews/reports) and Barnett the Will, does that change your drafting of David?

Bell had a fractured collarbone this season he tried to play on and come back early for but couldn't. Then the knee. Far from hangnails. I get Wood gets the glory around here, but Bell has done an insane job for someone who started playing football 7 years ago. I'd bet on the upside he has and re-sign him, and since they've offered and like Bryan Scott are waiting for a response I'm inclined to think the Bills agree.

He's definitely not soft. Is he a player that needs to add strength? Yes, which was known before his pro-day. He's actually in shape - he's a kid that played at 280 that's up to 305-310, so he has to (again) add strength. I don't see how soft gets thrown around here so much...

Don't forget that Mario Williams will be lining up primarily at Left End, so he'll be going up against mainly the "turds" of the AFCE.

Reiff is a Bulaga clone, so if they ducked Bulaga at 9, I think they do the same for Reiff at 10.

LB is not as big a need, because of the line. Wannstedt has rarely needed a first rounder to make his defense work at linebacker - he just needs smarts and speed.

Under - I'd say 12?

45

It's actually quite awesome that we'll have the chance to not let any FAs leave that they want, and want to honestly be here. Just a great great thing there.

One of my favorite quotes on Buddy arrived last week post Mario - Gil Brandt (the Godfather of the draft and modern scouting) was talking about him on Sirius Radio. Every pro day Brandt went to, Buddy was there scouting players. He said in reaction to that "Buddy might nap, but he never sleeps - that guy goes everywhere!" I think because of his bluntness and honesty in general (and sense of humor) people look to make fun of him, when all he's doing is trying to make this team better. Go Fig.

I'd start with LeVitre like Deep2Moulds mentioned. With the money coming in from NFL TV after this next season, they can pay one up front in 13 and have the other's big bonus guaranteed to hit in 14. Problem solved.

Kirkpatrick also nicknamed himself "Swagga" sometime in the sophomore year I believe. And has a tendency to freelance in their scheme, which isn't the best thing considering Saban's such a control freak.

As much as we like run blockers seems like Chan likes the pass blocking lineman even if they can't get as nasty in the run game. If Martin was smart enough to grasp the protections in Stanford's WCO, he can handle Chan's with Fitz calling audibles!

If they didn't take Bulaga, why would they take Reiff though?

I see what you're saying Kelly, but every first and second round pick he's made for the Bills have had production behind them. The only times he strays from that are guys like Easley, albeit in later rounds. Even a Troup or an Aaron Williams had production as tacklers and run stoppers if they didn't have the glamour stats - sacks and picks. So for him to take a guy like Stephen Hill, who has less than 50 receptions career to his name would fly in the face of what he's said to date.

Astro, If it's the way you have listed and those guys are available, Buddy, especially in the first 2 rounds wants production. "If you've done it in college you'd do it here" is what he said at some point or another. Given that, I think a WR like Hill is out, because he doesn't have that production. I would say it would be a toss up between Coples, Martin, Floyd or Glenn. Personally I'd add Coples to the bunch and dare teams to run wide or throw quick passes between the "trees"

One problem with that logic Bill, though it cuts into another area you like - Coach Wannstedt's defense calls for maximum resource allocation to the defensive line, and as long as you can run and hit he's fine with you at linebacker. With that in mind, if they traded back and are using their biggest asset (#1 pick) they would most likely go for a lineman on defense, as they're more useful to him than any of the rookie LBs, Hightower notwithstanding.

Here's another way to lift your spirits - re-watch any game from this season and imagine Mario Williams on that defense. BOOM.

For Coach W OLBs should be between 230 and 245 pounds, able to run and cover and play well in space. Really, they're the cleanup guys so height isn't a factor (see his favorite MLB Zach Thomas) just instincts and athletic ability. The line is where the most resources money and roster wise (he typically wants a 7-9 man rotation) go.
