Astrobot Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) I used the DraftTek Simulator to make up 3 drafts for your consideration. They will help me tweak next week's positional needs (For example, in the mock draft coming out tomorrow, we reduced our need at safety due to the recent signings, raised our need at QB, and raised our need at OLB despite what Nix has been saying). We're giving you a say. Let your voice be heard! And please comment!

I_want_2_BILL_Lieve Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Personally, I am hoping for Newton in the first, and then address either O line or D line in the second, but then remain heavy on the D side for the remainder of the picks. That is why didn't vote for C. Ingram in the second is another luxury pick we cant afford. But I could be VERY happy with A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'm not too sure if I like any of the early picks in all 3 scenarios but I do like the Mark Ingram pick in the 2nd rd. I really feel that a RB is something of a need for this team's future success. I know that it's not a popular choice at this time but Spiller is only a Reggie Bush type player, not a 3 down back and Fred is getting up there in age. The Bills do need a replacement for Lynch, hopefully that will come in this year's draft or free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) I voted C, but hate Ingram in the 2nd. Replace him with Carimi, Ayers, or Tight End (Rudolph?) and it would be my choice. Edited March 13, 2011 by Ghost of Rob Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBeane Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I would like C, but there is absolutely no way that Mark Ingram falls to the 2nd round. I did like how A filled a lot of needs for us and had to vote for that mock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) I absolutely love the 1st 4 players in C. Even if Newton is a question mark he is the biggest upside for our need in this draft. I think Ingram will be good to great in his career. I think Spiller could turn out to be a really good player but Ingram could be an every down back and Spiller could be the home run theater for the next 5-8 years. I have stated multiple times in multiple threads how much I LOVE Moch. I think if he goes in the 3rd round he could be one of the biggest steals of the draft. And Mathews blood line alone makes me want him. Not to mention that he fills another need. All in all I think they are a group of 4 starters within 2-3 years that COULD all play at pro bowl levels. The only thing I would add is a CB with our 2nd 4th rounder. Not sure where Curtis Brown from Texas is slotted but if he fell that far I'd love it.

The truth is, there are so many good quality players that will fall due to the fact that there are only 32 picks in each round. Some really good players will fall to us in the 2nd. If it's Carimi or Ingram or anyone else I wouldn't be suprised. We just have to hope our FO sees this and drafts one of those BPAs instead of reaching for need IMO.

1B4IDie Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I like draft A in a landside. Also can you please do something about the Jake Locker pick on draftek's board. Can you lock him out in all rounds. Locker would set the Bills back 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFan68 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Draft A would be great, draft B would be terrible and C would be OK with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are, we will have our choice of a starting caliber player at any number of positions of need. Also, Buddy & Co. will likely be answering a ton of phone calls from other teams who might covet a player at #34. Possibly pick up another 3rd rounder just for moving back a couple slots. I think I'm more excited to see what happens on day 2 than I am about our pick at #3. BTW...I voted for draft A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I saw Fairley then Carimi then instantly voted A. I didnt even have to look at the others because it could not get better than that. Then when I looked again we get Mason Foster and that 6'5'' 350# NG guy - sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Nick Fairley? Eh. A is the best, but I'm so/so on Fairley and don't like that the choices do not prioritize obtaining a TE. Edited March 13, 2011 by dpberr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Definitely like the first but am not a Fairley fan Blaine Gabbert should have been the choice there. Looks like Barksdale lucked out and makes to the Bills no matter what . Ingram would be a huge upgrade over our backfield, maybe we can trade Spiller to whoever takes him and convince them that Spiller's homerun speed is what they need not some slow bruiser like Ingram. Also like Pernell Mcphee guy has got some nasty in him and brings it every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Option A. I want nothing to do with Option C or any other that includes Cam Newton. I'd take Gabbert over him in a heartbeat. That said, I don't want a QB at 3 at all. I'd prefer to see if Locker or Mallett slide to Round 2 or even Ponder beyond that, if they really want a QB. I don't see how Ingram makes it past Miami or NE* in the first (or at NE's* pick in the 2nd ahead of ours). I'm a diehard Alabama fan and as much as I like Ingram, I don't want him. We have way higher priorities, foremost LB. I'd even take a QB before him. I want Dareus at three but that is looking less and less likely now. It's amazing how much some of you have soured on Fairley. Dareus shoots up the boards and all of a sudden Fairley is no good?? I'd do a cartwheel if the Bills have a shot at him and pull the trigger.

DrDawkinstein Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) I like draft A position-wise, but voted C because I think we get better talent in our first 4 picks, and I think Barksdale could have potential. Draft C gives us at least 4 starters, potentially 5. Draft B is just a straight tragedy. Edited March 13, 2011 by DrDankenstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills1960 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Just say no to Newton. Its not hard. Go defense, in this case, Fairley will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
