voodoo poonani Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 These extra two weeks have only allowed our minds to keep kicking out ideas of who we might draft and where. The common theme and indeed mantra of teams this time of year is to draft the best player available. So my question is, if the Bills stay at #9, who is the best player available? For this exercise, write out you top 10 and how you arrived at it. My top 10 is based solely on college career output (my interpretation of it anyway). Combines and pro-days seem to distract more than inform. How many workout warriors were busts? (Cough) Maybin! (Cough) 1) DE J. Clowney 2) OT G. Robinson 3) LB K. Mack 4) OT J. Matthews 5) OT T. Lewan 6) WR S. Watkins 7) CB D. Dennard 8) DT A. Donald 9) LB CJ Mosley 10) LB A. Barr I don't think there is a TE worthy of a top ten pick. I think honorable mentions go out to FS Ha-ha Clinton-Dix and CB J. Verrett. So if the first 8 were gone we would say hello to CJ Mosley assuming all the teams' boards were lined up this way. Again, these are just my opinion. What's yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterNextYearRight? Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 1. Clowney 2. Robinson 3. Watkins 4. Mack 5. Evans 6. Dennard 7. Bridgewater 8. Donald 9. Carr 10. Beckham (surprise!) Runners up- Matthews, Ebron, Pryor and Shazier Based on watching games. Do not pay attention to the combine whatsoever unless it's players vs lower competition and just need something to verify that they are physically competent compared to NFL talent or something sticks out like a sore thumb.

Luxy312 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 1 - Clowney. Best athlete in the draft with the highest upside. 2 - Mack. Best football player and will make an immediate impact for any team. 3 - Robinson. Plug and play left tackle. 4 - Watkins. Best route runner in the draft. 5 - Manziel. You can't teach the leadership he brings. I think he'll fail, but have to have him here for now. 6 - Matthews. Can play any position on the line and is still a heck of a tackle. 7 - Evans. Elite size and wingspan. May have the most upside of any WR in the draft. 8 - Donald. While a college DT, I think he projects to a DE for me. Fast and mean off the edge. 9 - Martin. Another guy that can play any offensive line position, but is best at guard. 10 - Barr. Basically an upgraded version of Brian Urlacher. Enough said.

SBUffalo Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I've spent an unbelievable amount of time on this year's draft (even more than last year's) because I just can't get my final mock down. So much that can happen this year. Last year was easier to project due to the QBs not being there. 1. Clowney 2. Mack 3. Robinson 4. Shazier 5. Jake Matthews 6. Watkins 7. Bortles 8. Kyle Fuller 9. Barr 10. Ebron 11. Manziel 12. Donald 13. Evans 14. Beckham Jr. 15. Lewan 16. Pryor 17. Clinton-Dix 18. Dennard 19. Mosley 20. Bridgewater 21. Gilbert 22. Allen Robinson 23. Moncrief 24. Zack Martin 25. Cooks 26. Roby 27. Aaron Murray 28. Carlos Hyde 29. Kouandjio 30. Marqise Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) I started by picking an offensive and defensive team. Next step, eliminated 1 offense and 1 defense player for 6 rounds to get down to 10. Then matched remaining up with a team.
