Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Horrible mock draft. No way we take Kindle before McClain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Horrible mock draft. No way we take Kindle before McClain Agreed. They have McClain going to the Steelers at #18. I think he will be gone before we pick at #9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmjoyce113 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 The reason they have us taking Kindle is because he is a true OLB... the other two are ILB. With Poz and Kawika we are set inside I would assume. That's why I would guess they have things set up this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I am a long-time draft fanatic and I find SportingNews' WarRoom to be one of the most credible scouting services around (I also like Pro Football Weekly's Nolan Nawrocki). WarRoom is run by Russ Lande who actually worked in the NFL as a scout for the Rams (and I think the Browns, too). Now, I know that there are good and bad scouts in the NFL, but Lande at least knows how to study tape, knows what NFL types are looking for in players and likely has some contacts in the league also. He also isn't afraid to express a bold opinion. For instance, he isn't down on board-favorite Rolando McClain, but he does go against the "common opinion" in thinking that he isn't a high number 1 pick. FWIW, Lande was not that high on Aaron Maybin last year when many others were touting him as the best pass rusher in the draft. To be fair, we can't write Maybin off after one year that would have been his Junior season in college, but so far Lande looks to have been spot-on. Another fwiw, Lande publishes his own draft guide (GMJr) in addition to working for SportingNews. Lande's guide is BY FAR the most detailed of any that I've seen over the past 25 years of following the draft. For $20 it is really worth-while if you are into the draft.

CountDorkula Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Ewwwwww...come on Sporting News, you're better than that. That is an atrocious mock the first 3 picks are about spot on but after that it falls to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 That is an atrocious mock the first 3 picks are about spot on but after that it falls to Why do you say that? Is it just because it doesn't line up with other mock drafts that you've seen? How do you know which one is "right" or if ANY of them are close? I applaud them for going with their opinions on the players and team needs instead of just going with the popular "flow" from other prognosticators. Realistically, most of the mock drafts will be wrong A LOT, even in round 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksilver Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Sporting News Mock Draft They have the Bills taking Sergio Kindle and Jimmy Clausen is out of the 1st round altogether. Might be one of the worst mocks Ive' seen in a while. Anyone care to wager Clausen IS a 1st round pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 He has us taking Kindle because we currently need an olb. I beg to differ. Mitchell "can" play olb (even if he doesn't want to), and poz is a FA after next year, and I wouldn't be shocked if we let go. He's not very good. I take mcclain And sign porter. Preferably we take Bulaga , if he's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claussen out of rd 1? the Best DE in Pierre-Paul is the 3rd DE taken We are drafting a LB that is 3rd best at his position according to a majority of other sites i have seen. Im not saying that the others are right, but this mock just does not make very much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you google the topic or get a good book. He does have the size although on the short end but he has 12 sacks in a 7 year career. Good 3-4 OLBs get that in a season maybe a season and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Do you work for Russ Lande? Marketing should be your profession. No. I am just a draft fanatic who has purchased and read lots of draft publications over the last 25 years including Kiper's, Draft Scrapbook, Ourlads, Pro Football Weekly, Draft Insiders and Lande's GMJr. I am sure that I forgot a few, but I think that is most of them. I just appreciate the product and thought that I'd mention it on here as (obviously) there are a lot of folks on here who are very into the draft.
