KOKBILLS

I just don't see it...I know it's a need...it's debatable how big a need it is...But in the 1st? The way this Defense struggled at times, then lost Mario and Bradham...Kyle Williams is not getting any younger...Have to say I would not be happy with a WR at #19...That's an understatement...In fact...If the Bills go Offense...I'm really only OK with Paxton Lynch...Assuming the other 2 QB's are gone of course... I could be wrong of course...But I think Spence is going to slide a bit...It's not really even about the trouble he had (which seems to be behind him), or the 40 time...There are just SO many solid D-Linemen in this Draft...If he was running steady in the 4.6 range then maybe...But I just have a feeling he's going to get squeezed into the 2nd round...I'd LOVE to get him at #49 though! That would be awesome...

What's not to like? Nice move...The Bills need LB depth desperately...261 TT's, 10 sacks and 6 INT's in basically 3 years (32 starts) is certainly not terrible...

My plan is pretty simple...Build Defensive Depth...Get a QB by the 4th Rd...Hope a decent WR falls to the 3rd...I was pretty happy with this Draft...I think Rankins teamed with Dareus would be scary...So I jumped at the chance to take him at #19...I wanted a DE/OLB Pass Rusher and even though I doubt he'll be there at #50 I took Correa in this mock... 19: R1P19 DT SHELDON RANKINS LOUISVILLE 49: R2P18 OLB KAMALEI CORREA BOISE STATE 80: R3P17 WR WILL FULLER NOTRE DAME 117: R4P19 QB DAK PRESCOTT MISSISSIPPI STATE 139: R4P41 OLB DE'VONDRE CAMPBELL MINNESOTA 156: R5P17 S KAVON FRAZIER CENTRAL MICHIGAN 192: R6P17 CB ARTIE BURNS MIAMI (FL) 218: R6P43 G JOE DAHL WASHINGTON STATE

I like this sort of pair up at #19 and #49...And I think Jones will be there at #19...I doubt Correa will be around at #49 though... At #19 I would be thrilled with Sheldon Rankins, A'Shawn Robinson, or Shaq Lawson...But I expect them all to be gone...I'm definitely OK with Andrew Billings, Ogbah, Vernon Butler, or Jones...And I think the pick will be one of those four...I'm not as high on Jarran Reed as some, I think his ceiling is a bit limited...But I think if you want a base-down run stopper you're not going to do much better...I'd rather not touch Nkemdiche...How can he be that kind of athlete with that little production? No thanks...And I think the "sleeper" pick at #19 is Kevin Dodd... Another note about the Bills in the 1st Round...With this much D-Line talent likely available at #19, assuming there is not a crazy run, you have to believe Whaley is going to be VERY open to trading down a few spots...The Bills have been all but locked out of Free Agency due to the cap...They have depth holes all over the roster...Extra picks, especially this year, are never a bad thing... At #49 I'm really hoping for Kyler Fackrell...But if a player like Noah Spence, or Correa, slides down...then great!!! No matter what I'd like the Bills to come out of the first two rounds with a DT/3-4DE, and a DE/3-4 OLB...I know some folks want a true LB...But I think you can get decent players to fill that roll later in the Draft...The Bills already have Dareus, KW, and Hughes in their D-Front...Adding two more talented rookies should shore up Rex's D...And that makes the Bills far more dangerous this year... Did I say how much I love the Draft?...

I get what you're saying, but where the Bills are concerned specifically does it really matter? The Bills needed a DT desperately and passed on an absolute monster...And he was not a sleeper, unknown monster...He was a Pac 10 Defensive Player Of The Year/Consensus 1st Team All American monster...We all know who they should have Drafted instead of Whitner...I was literally jumping up and down in my LR chanting Ngata!!! Ngata!!! Ngata!!! Then I had a heart attack when the pick was announced... I could care less about any other prospect in that draft not named Ngata...That should have been the pick...End of story... I realize that's not Whitner's fault though...

I'd LOVE to see Butler and Dareus team up for years to come...Butler is the guy I want most for the Bills...

Glad to hear you're taking good care of yourself Bill... We should always strive to be in the best shape possible seeing as though The Bills are going to try to kill all of us again this year...

I second this....

Wait...

Well now...That's pretty timely...We could use a few more this year to be honest...Cheap labor...

I'd have to go with #83 or #34 due to value... But the best player drafted was #78...

The is no Franchise in the semi-recent history of NFL football that wins the off season more than the fish...Year in and year out...They are the best... Till week #1...

It's possible you're right...It's also possible at 31 Mario is on a swift downwards path...It happens to really good D-Linemen all the time when they reach his age... We'll just have to see...But I think, based on last season, assuming Miami got better and the Bills got worse is far from determined yet...

Very nice...

Agreed...

I think that's pretty easy dots to connect...

And furthermore there's good RB's...then there is Shady's level which is most definitely a notch or two higher that just good...

Exactly true... I've never been one to over-value RB's...But even still...IMHO that trade was an absolute no-brainer...And I think it proved itself out on the field last year...At least while Shady was healthy it did...

I live in NC and I was admittedly pulling for the Panthers...So I'm absolutely biased... That being said... I thought the game sucked overall...But mostly because what the Panthers have done all year, they failed do in that game...And that was basically getting contributions from 1-53...Dropped passes (one leading to a devastating TO), dropped INT's, penalties, fumbles, and whatever the heck that was on the punt return...I just felt like the Panthers did not rise to the occasion of the game, and it made for a less than exciting overall product...I also felt the early no-catch call was wrong (albeit very close), and two plays later the Broncos got what turned out to be the biggest play of the game...Plus the no-call PI right before the Panthers 2nd half FG was a joke IMHO... The Broncos won with basically no offense...Their Defense was lights-out no question...They deserve a ton of credit...But the Panthers team I watched all year did not show up in this game whatsoever...And I realize the story line will always be that the Bronco's Defense caused that...And they did to an extent...But the Panthers team I knew caught those passes and those INT's all season...And should have cruised to victory in that game... So...Anyway...Congrats to the Broncos...I was definitely not a fan of the game overall though...I though it was a snoozer...

Shocker... Honestly...I'm surprised more people did not think this was a possibility after reading through the first few leaks...

Thank you...

What exactly was Sully trying to prove there? What a complete douchebag...

I don't think he'll be there...So it's probably not even worth discussing...But if he is there at #19 I don't think there's any question the Bills take Wentz...I think that's about as safe a bet as you're going to get in this Draft...

I've heard 3rd-4th Round...

Honestly Jaws should know better... The first SB the Bills were the better team...The Giants had to play the perfect game to beat them and still should have lost if Norwood can hit a 47 yarder...The 2nd was just the Skins year...They were a machine...The 3rd and 4th were against one of the greatest NFL teams ever assembled...Those Cowboys teams were basically All Star rosters on both sides of the ball... The Bills SB teams were better than a few SB winners, and just about every SB losing team...So...Shut up Jaws...
