19. Buffalo Bills: DL Robert Nkemdiche, Mississippi

I don’t think Rex Ryan will be scared off by Nkemdiche’s off-field history, and if one defensive coach can maximize his abilities, it might be Buffalo’s head man.

Mock draft 9.0 (via @MoveTheSticks) Big surprises include player who doesn't go in Round 1: http://on.nfl.com/26xo6V6

Pick No. 19

Jarran Reed DT Alabama
Could see the Bills take a linebacker here but Reed is too good to pass up.

Baylor WR Corey Coleman is the Bills' selection at No. 19 in @MelKiperESPN's final mock draft: https://t.co/rU0AmBZDPf

@WGR550

Doug Whaley expected to join @SalSports coming up next! Hear the GM on his draft day process, and what he expects from the draft tonight.

 

 

Mel must have started blazing already this morning....

Corey Coleman/Eli Apple would make the Bills accountable for my TV ending up on the lawn.

 

Doctson is the best WR in this draft, Alexander is probably a better CB then Apple.

Haha I have a feeling some TV's are going to pay the ultimate price tonight. Hopefully not Bills fans.

LB Darron Lee drops to the Bills at No. 19 in @McShay13's final mock draft: https://t.co/X7GNdjJTOS

 

 

@mikerodak

Here are afternoon updates to @McShay13 final mock: Elliott to DAL Ramsey to JAX Bosa to CLE Hargreaves to MIA Joseph to OAK Doctson to MIN

@DraftCampbell

Per sources the #Bills won't take #OleMiss DL Robert Nkemdiche. I think the #Titans are serious about trading up: http://www.walterfootball.com/nfldraftrumormill.php

A lot of mock drafts have projected the Buffalo Bills to take Ole Miss defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche. In speaking with sources, the Bills have ruled out Nkemdiche, and he isn't a finalist for their first-round pick. Buffalo is keying in on a defender for the front seven in the first round. The priority to add more defensive talent will carry over into the second night as well.

Casserly mock 6.0: Saints land Lynch

The Saints decide to snag the heir apparent for Drew Brees in Charley Casserly's final mock draft. See his full forecast for the first round.

 

Pick No. 19
BUF.png
Noah Spence DE Eastern Kentucky
In their transition to a 34 defense they get a pass rusher at OLB.
Noah Spence is undoubtedly a first-round talent, but as sometimes happens to great college players, their draft stock takes a hit due to dreaded 'off-field issues.'

 

Save this final mock draft for later, when it all goes to hell after the first two picks. Here's a final best guess of how the first round shakes out.

 

BUF.png19. Buffalo Bills

Reggie Ragland, LB, Alabama: They have some age at the position (Manny Lawson) and they need help at the other spots. Ragland can step in and play right away and be the thumper in the run game.

 

@RapSheet

According to seven teams, #Bama LB Reggie Ragland's enlarged aorta is not expected to alter his football career. He just must watch it close

 

@JoeBuscaglia

My FINAL mock draft, going to the #Bills 2nd pick, and even taking a guess at all their picks this year. All here: https://t.co/nJF91pMy0g

19) Bills2_1427903793815_15962939_ver1.0.gif - LB Darron Lee, Ohio State

- And here it is, the Bills land the guy they've had an eye on throughout the draft process. They also really like Shaq Lawson, Sheldon Rankins, Jarran Reed, and even the hard-hitting safety Karl Joseph. However, with a crying need at weakside linebacker and not a lot of depth to the draft class, Lee would come in and be a three-down player immediately for the Bills. Lee is super athletic and has the ability in coverage that the Bills are looking for -- and the type of ability that fits well into Rex Ryan's defensive scheme. Despite the interest in Jarran Reed, defensive line is a deep class and one they can wait on in the second round. If they do miss out on all three of Lawson, Rankins, and Lee, I could certainly see them trading down and taking a defensive lineman, or Karl Joseph with their first pick in the late first round or early second round. It's a fluid situation, but they love Darron Lee.

49) Bills2_1427903793815_15962939_ver1.0.gif - DL Bronson Kaufusi, BYU

- With the second wave of quarterbacks gone, the Bills take a player in Bronson Kaufusi who screams "versatility" -- and that's just what they're after. Kaufusi can rush the passer, he can play five-technique defensive end, he can play a little outside linebacker in the Manny Lawson role that they have set up... he can do a little bit of everything. He's a bit of an older prospect (turning 25), but is seemingly one who can contribute right away. He plays a bit too high at times, but the combination of size (6-foot-6, 285-pounds), length, strength, speed, and movement ability makes him a great addition. And, the Bills are interested in him, having had him in for a pre-draft visit. See for yourself:

Later Bills picks:

3rd Round, 80th overall - QB Cardale Jones, Ohio State

 

4th Round, 117th overall - LB Joe Schobert, Wisconsin

 

4th Round, 139th overall - WR Kolby Listenbee, TCU

 

5th Round, 156th overall - CB/S Deiondre' Hall, Northern Iowa

 

6th Round, 192nd overall - OT Kyle Murphy, Stanford

 

6th Round, 218th overall - LB Antonio Morrison, Florida

19. Jarran Reed DT Alabama

 

Also, Anthony Davis RT SF may be a Bill before the weekend is out. That could just be wishful thinking though.

 

I hadn't even thought of that. I would love it if we at least looked into it. Nothing coud happen til he's reinstated though, so couldn't be this weekend

Whaley: Bills Prepped for Any Draft Scenario

doug-whaley-story-image.jpg

It's just a few hours before the start of the 2016 NFL draft, and the Bills have just completed their final stack of their draft board in round one.

 

Here's to trading down for extra picks. :beer:

Mock #NFLDraft Version One: Hoping to get the first pick right http://usat.ly/23aLCCK

ChKHQTIWkAUTXcL.jpg

 

For the last few months we have been bringing you the mock drafts from experts all over the internet. We have analyzed, sometimes even criticized some suggestions.

With that in mind, it would seem unfair not to provide a mock draft of my own, one that can be equally ridiculed by all when the final selections are made and it turns out half my suggested picks have failed to be taken after all.

This mock is not about what I would do with the pick if I was the team’s general manager, rather what I believe each team will do, given all the information we have filtered through here at Draft Wire since the college football season ended.

Having said all that, I offer you my suggestions – flame away:

mock-draft-1.png?w=1000&h=2589

 

Armed with last-minute intel from scouts and GMs across the league, Jason La Canfora unveils his one and only mock draft. It's packed with some first-round trades, including the Saints grabbing a potential successor to Drew Brees.

 

BUF.png19. Buffalo Bills

Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson: They're going to do defense with this pick, and someone on the edge almost certainly from what I hear. They badly need hope on the pass rush and Rex Ryan knows the Clemson program very well from his son being on the team. Perhaps it's DE Kevin Dodd as well, from Clemson. If the off-field risk doesn't scare them too much, Noah Spence could be the pick. This is one of very few teams where I legit hear Spence is in play.

BN Blitz: A final, #Bills-centric mock draft covering all eight pick: https://t.co/nEeQdS2qOP

 

So, instead of subjecting you to one final mock draft – cheap plug: that's in Thursday's print and web editions of The Buffalo News – here is a look at just eight draft picks – all of which belong to the Buffalo Bills.

 

Round 1 - Pick 19, Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson: I'm sticking with my final projection. Lawson seems like a perfect fit. The big question is, will he be there?

 

Round 2 - Pick 49, Braxton Miller, WR, Ohio State: Bills Director of Player Personnel Jim Monos said Miller is ready to play as a rookie, and the versatility he could provide as receiver, runner and potentially even as a passer has to be intriguing to offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

 

Round 3 - Pick 80, Jaylon Smith, OLB, Notre Dame: This is largely dependent on the report given to General Manager Doug Whaley from the team's medical staff. If it's favorable – as in, Smith is projected to make a full recovery – the chance to get him in the third round shouldn't be passed up. No, he won't help as a rookie, but the potential payoff is huge.

This would be great!

If they did that I would turn around with Reader and Cardale. Simmons in the 5th and Roberts and an OL in the 6th. Who says no?
