Bills have meeting with Stanford LT Martin
KOKBILLS replied to mob16151's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't see Martin to The Bills unless he lasts till the 2nd Round...He's a Project...He's definitely not ready to start at LT in the NFL...I think he will be in time...But not yet...Thus, not at #10... -
Mike Mayock absolutely loves Rieff...But even Mayock questions whether or not he'll be an NFL LT, especially as a Rookie...And to me at least, if you have doubts whether or not an OT can play LT, you don't take him at #10 Overall...For the record Mayock believes Rieff should go somewhere around #20 overall...

Mock Draft from NE Patriots Draft

Agreed... But it's good to dream every now and again... -
Damond Talbot's Mock Draft 2.0
KOKBILLS replied to Damond Talbot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think Floyd is the odds on favorite to go to The Bills at #10 right now...I don't think any of the OT's after Kalil is worthy of #10 overall...Buddy has already been pretty clear he thinks the Bills are good from Guard to Guard (Levitre, Wood, Rinehart, Urbik), so I think DeCastro is out...The Bills need one more CB, but #10 is too high for Kirkpatrick...And even though there are a few DT's who will likely be worthy of #10 overall, the Bills have Depth there (Williams, Dareus, Carrington, Troupe, Heard, etc)...So it seems to me, IF The Bills stay at #10, it's coming down to the LB Kuechly or the WR Floyd...If The Bills think either Kuechly or Shep can move to OLB in the new 4-3, then maybe it's the LB...But I think WR is the bigger need and Floyd is a heck of a good Prospect...He's big, tough, a willing blocker...He's got huge upside, and he has taken steps to address the off-field stuff... So anyway...Right now I'm leaning towards Floyd being a Buffalo Bills WR in 2012...But we've still got a Month to go... -
I'm just ecstatic I don't see Ronnell Lewis on this one...

New Don Banks Mock (Post Williams/Anderson)
KOKBILLS replied to LABills08's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think now (after Martin's workout) the only way The Bills go OT in the 1st Round is with a Trade Down...The problem is, even if they Traded Down and grabbed Martin or Reiff, I don't think either Kid is ready to be a Starting LT in the NFL just yet...It would be an awful lot to ask of either Prospect...And we're talking about the #2 and #3 OT's on most Boards...I no longer believe there is much value at #10 if you're looking for a LT...Unless you have a few years to wait...The Bills need to re-sign Bell, or realize Hairston will be the Starting LT in 2012... So...That being said...If The Bills stay at #10 Overall I think it's down to the WR (Floyd), the LB (Kuechly), or the CB (Kirkpatrick)...I think of the three Kuechly is the best Prospect, but the Bills have already said Shep is going to play MLB...So would Keuchly or Shep move outside? I like Kirkpatrick...But I just can't get passed thinking #10 is too high for him...That's why I'm now guessing Floyd is the leader to be Drafted at #10 Overall... This is getting too muddled... -
Not a Good Showing for Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
KOKBILLS replied to Owen's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You're right...The problem here is that Martin is not ready to step in right away...I agree that quickness and feet are FAR more important than strength for a LT...But assuming the Bills stay at #10 overall, IF they were to take a LT, they'll be looking for a Rookie Starter...And I don't think Martin is ready to start at LT in the NFL quite yet...He won't hold up in the Run game well at all...He's just not quite ready...So that should push him down just a bit... -
Demetrius Bell - Now an Eagle
KOKBILLS replied to voodoo poonani's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Even Scouts who love Reiff (like Mayock) question whether or not he'll ever be a LT in the NFL...Trade down or not, I just can't see Drafting a Kid in the 1st Round if The Bills are not 100% sure he will be a LT...And it seems not many are 100% sure Reiff will be a LT... -
Who would you like to see the Bills get?
KOKBILLS replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd rather take a flyer on Braylon Edwards...He's going to be majorly motivated...And he's still awfully talented...I think Edwards is a much better player than Williams... -
Not a Good Showing for Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
KOKBILLS replied to Owen's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm OK with that...I'm also OK with reaching just a bit for a LT if Buddy and Chan are OK with the prospect (not that Glenn is worthy of #10 Overall...because he's not)...I would just prefer a LT in the 1st Round...It's time... -
Not a Good Showing for Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
KOKBILLS replied to Owen's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Saw that...Pretty disappointing...I doubt Martin goes Top 20 now...He's gonna slide...Though most Scouts admit he's got a lot to do in the strength area...And he was a MUCH better Pass blocker than a Run blocker in College...Martin's obviously real smart and he may be the type of Kid that needs a couple years before he's ready to be a starting LT in the NFL... -
What about WR? If The Bills went LT and OLB, I think WR would clearly be the most glaring need at that point...Right?...Though I do have to say Fleener would be awful intriguing in the 2nd Round...
-
Buddy asks us to believe him when he speaks an awful lot... How many times have you heard him say "We've said all along..." That being said, Nix is on record saying The Bills are good from G to G, but they will definitely Draft an OT...He also said Shep is going to start in the middle of the new 4-3...So...If we are to believe Buddy, DeCastro and Kuechly are probably not in the plans at #10 overall...

Claiborne - possible slip to #10?
KOKBILLS replied to roccitybillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Bills would Draft Claiborne at #10, if he was there, 10 out of 10 times... The problem is he's not going to be there...Period...This will effect Claiborne's status the same way Julius Jones foot injury effected his Draft status...In other words...It won't effect Claiborne, or his probable Top 5 projection, one bit... It's good to dream though... -
Please don't anyone say Dream Team
KOKBILLS replied to BringBackFergy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Shout Box and a Twitter quotes... Okey doke...Enough said... -
Oh wow! 2 points I completely disagree with... The Bills strength on O-Line is from Guard to Guard. Buddy Nix is on record already saying they are fine there...He's also on record that the Bills will take an OT in this Draft...So I'm thinking DeCastro is not going to happen...Martin or Adams at #10 or in a Trade Down is a much better possibility IMHO... Ronnell Lewis played a hybrid Position and spent the majority of his College career with his hand on the ground setting the edge (which he was pretty good at), and rushing the QB (which he was very average at)...He's a great Special Teams Player and he loves to hit...He's a high motor guy...His size does not project that well to a DE in a 4-3, and he's DEFINITELY not a 4-3 OLB...At least not yet he's not, and it's a major projection at this time...He would be a HUGE liability in Coverage initially because he's all but never done it, and when he has he's not natural...He has VERY average speed (4.68)...He was really a College DE, no matter what his Position says...And switching from College DE to Pro 4-3 OLB is a stretch for players with a lot better speed than Lewis...Plus he had academic issues...I'm not saying Lewis will not be a good Pro...But I don't think he's a good fit for Buffalo...Especially in the 2nd Round...Good God no!

Seriously? Who in their right mind would ever call this a "Dream Team." That was a good chuckle though... -

TEBOW!!! is a Jet! (finally)
KOKBILLS replied to Buffalo Barbarian's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well... I'm thinking...If The Bills were truly interested in Tebow 2 years ago, and all indications including those from Tebow himself point in that direction, then what would stop them from being interested now? He has shown, in a very small period of time, exactly what most Scouts felt about him all along...He does somethings extremely well, some things very poorly, and he needs a lot of work...But he was still a 1st Round Pick...And my guess is he would go no lower than the 2nd Round of this Draft...no Manning, and Tebow is the Starting QB for the Denver Broncos in 2012...He's one of the 32... Now the benefit is he's had two years in the NFL...He's got some on-the-job training... I do think Nix will feel if anybody can get something more out of Tebow as a Passer it will be Gailey...And Fitz would be as good a mentor as Tebow could possibly ask for... But then there is the circus aspect which I want no part of... I do think Tebow is better than Thigpen...But is his upside as good as say, Brock Osweiler? I don't know...This is a tough call...But I'm guessing if the Bills were interested before, they will be interested again... -
Cousins played a LOT more than Osweiler in College, but as far as upside is concerned it's really not close...Cousins has back-up written all over him...He's a system guy who is an awesome leader, but not much beyond that...Osweiler can pretty much be as good as he want to be...He has all the tools...He's tall, athletic, and he really has only scratched the surface...I think when you're talking about a 4th Round Pick I'd rather take a flyer on greatness instead of drafting a guy who may or may not be better than Tyler Thigpen in 3 years...Just my opinion... And as far as the 5th Round Picks go, what is up with Trevor Guyton getting all this support? I really wonder sometimes if the word has gotten out about the Bills switching back to the 4-3? Guyton is a 3-4 End...Maybe an undersized 4-3 DT in a pinch...But we have Carrington and Spencer Johnson already...Why would The Bills want a guy like Guyton who's not a natural DE in a 4-3? Anyway... I went with OLB Nigel Bradham and TE Rhett Ellison this Round...I like Bradham's upside, and he fits the 4-3 OLB role...I think Ellison would be a nice value-grab in the 5th...He would give The Bills some versatility and a TE who is pretty sure handed...He's not going to stretch any Defenses...But he's a solid Player who can make the Team as the 3rd TE... But admittedly it's already getting a bit thin...
-
Ronnell Lewis basically played DE with his hand on the ground at Oklahoma... Projecting him to an NFL 4-3 OLB is a HUGE stretch...I could see the projection if he had 4.5 speed...But he's a 4.67 guy with virtually zero experience in Coverage...I really don't know where this idea that he is a 4-3 OLB comes from...Maybe in time...But I doubt it...

Buddy's Man Bank on it! Riley Reiff
KOKBILLS replied to Thirty Year Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agreed...There are many Scouts who feel Reiff is an NFL RT and nothing more...If you take an OT at #10, you have to be darn sure he's going to be a LT...I'm not sure that is the case with Reiff...And I think that's why, in the end, The Bills go with Martin... -
Yes! The Red is cooler 100% of the time...
-
Problem is in this Mock we already have Jeffery, and if Easley comes back healthy there is more than enough Depth at WR...Stevie, Jeffery, Nelson, Jones, Easley, Clowney, Martin, Roosevelt, Aiken, and they still may try to bring back Hagan who played pretty well down the stretch...That's not including QB/WR Brad Smith...And the fact that The Bills will likely use Spiller a lot more in the Passing Game...Just can't see The Bills Drafting 2 WR's in the first 4 Rounds...
-
Well...Team chemistry does not mean crap if you don't have QB who can get you to the promise land...And there are plenty of 6 Win teams that got that way because their QB was not good enough...So... Not saying this is necessarily the case with Fitz...Just saying...
