Bills Fan888 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Lynch is the guy I would draft. We need a running back with power and he has power and speed. He runs hard. Highlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 In their first mock draft, this is who they have the Bills choosing. 12. Buffalo (7-9) Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville Projected pick: The Bills have more pressing needs, including cornerback and middle linebacker. However, Okoye is a fast-rising 19-year-old with great potential. Here are there top 5 players pre draft. I've only mentioned the positions I think we would look into. I'll add more upon request. Running Backs 1. *Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma 2. *Marshawn Lynch, California 3. Michael Bush, Louisville 4. Kenny Irons, Auburn 5. Tony Hunt, Penn State 5a. Selvin Young, Texas 5b. Lorenzo Booker, Florida State 5c. Kolby Smith, Louisville Wide Receivers 1. *Calvin Johnson, Georgia Tech 2. Jeff Samardzija, Notre Dame 3. *Dwayne Jarrett, USC 4. *Robert Meachem, Tennessee 5. *Sidney Rice, South Carolina* 5a. Dwayne Bowe, LSU 5b.

Ben Patrick, Delaware Offensive Tackles 1. Joe Thomas, Wisconsin 2. Levi Brown, Penn State 3. Tony Ugoh, Arkansas 4. Marshal Yanda, Iowa 5. Joe Staley, Central Michigan 5a. James Marten, Boston College 5b. Chase Johnson, Wyoming 5c. Ryan Harris, Notre Dame Offensive Guards 1. Ben Grubbs, Auburn 2. Josh Beekman, Boston College 3. Justin Blalock, Texas 4. Arron Sears, Tennessee 5. Andy Alleman, Akron 5a. Tim Duckworth, Auburn 5b. Dan Santucci, Notre Dame Defensive Ends 1. *Jamaal Anderson, Arkansas 2. Gaines Adams, Clemson 3. *Charles Johnson, Georgia 4. Adam Carriker, Nebraska 5. Quentin Moses, Georgia 5a. Tim Crowder, Texas 5b. Anthony Spencer, Purdue 5c. Ikaika Alama-Francis, Hawaii Defensive Tackles 1. *Alan Branch, Michigan 2. Amobi Okoye, Louisville 3. Tank Tyler, NC State 4. Quinn Pitcock, Ohio State 5. Turk McBride, Tennessee 5a. Ryan McBean, Oklahoma State 5b. Ola Dagunduro, Nebraska 5c. Justin Harrell, Tennessee Inside Linebackers 1. Patrick Willis, Mississippi 2. Buster Davis, Florida State 3. David Harris, Michigan 4. Zach Diles, Kansas State 5. *Rory Johnson, Mississippi 5a. Zak DeOssie, Brown Outside Linebackers 1. Lawrence Timmons, Florida St. 2. Paul Posluszny, Penn State 3. Michael Okwo, Stanford 4. Earl Everett, Florida 5. Stewart Bradley, Nebraska Cornerbacks 1. Leon Hall, Michigan 2. Daymeion Hughes, California 3. Marcus McCauley, Fresno State 4. *Darrelle Revis, Pittsburgh 5. *Eric Wright, UNLV 5a. Aaron Ross, Texas 5b. Tanard Jackson, Syracuse I've looked for more specific news on the Bills but found nothing. If you have any questions with anything else in insider, just ask. For what it's worth, I LOVE Insider. I wouldn't trade it for anything. The_Real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for draft and college recruiting info, it's worth it. I use it alot for Baseball too. I'm a huge Mets fan and I like the baseball rumors page. Also, the hockey and football rumor page. I find that there are alot of different angles that they look into in Insider. I pay 40 or 50 bucks a year and I get hours of different material to read. Worth it to me.

Peter Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 1. Oakland Raiders (2-14) Projected pick: +JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU Russell vs. Brady Quinn? Let the great debate begin. Most teams have Quinn ahead of Russell, but Raiders owner Al Davis could fall in love with Russell's size and deep arm. 2. Detroit (3-13) Projected pick: Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame The Lions will be stoked if Quinn falls to them at No. 2. Wouldn't it be great, though, if Matt Millen takes another wide receiver (Calvin Johnson) with this pick? 3t. x-Cleveland (4-12) Projected pick: +Alan Branch, DT, Michigan The Browns want Russell with this pick, but they'll settle for a 330-pound playmaker to help solidify Romeo Crennel's three-man defensive front. 3t. x-Tampa Bay (4-12) Projected pick: +Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech The Bucs have other more pressing needs, but coach Jon Gruden can't pass on the draft's most dynamic offensive weapon. 5. Arizona (5-11) Projected pick: Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin As usual, the Cardinals are a prime candidate to trade down. They should get lots of bidders if Thomas -- the only elite offensive lineman in this class -- is still available. 6. Washington (5-11) Projected pick: Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson Adams is a no-brainer for a Redskins defense that set a team record for the fewest sacks in a season (19) in 2006. 7. Minnesota (6-10) Projected pick: +Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas It's hard to believe the Vikings still need defensive end help, but Erasmus James suffered a season-ending injury in the opener and Kenechi Udeze failed to notch a sack. Anderson is the complete package physically and he should capitalize on 13.5 sacks as a junior in 2006. 8. Houston (6-10) Projected pick: +Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma Peterson is expected to make his decision to bolt for the NFL in the next few days. Drafting Peterson here would help to overshadow the Texans' colossal mistake of passing on Reggie Bush with the top overall pick last year. 9. Miami (6-10) Projected pick: Leon Hall, CB, Michigan The Dolphins could consider QB Brian Brohm with this pick, but they also could go the free-agency route in order to get short-term relief. Hall would be a good value here and would help upgrade a patchwork secondary. 10. Atlanta (7-9) Projected pick: LaRon Landry, S, LSU Landry is a ball-hawk free safety who would instantly upgrade the athleticism of the Falcons secondary. 11. San Francisco (7-9) Projected pick: +Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU Dorsey might not fall this far, but the 49ers certainly wouldn't protest such a scenario. Dorsey is a disruptive force as a one-gap penetrating interior lineman. 12. Buffalo (7-9) Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville Projected pick: The Bills have more pressing needs, including cornerback and middle linebacker. However, Okoye is a fast-rising 19-year-old with great potential. 13. St. Louis (8-8) Projected pick: Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska Carriker, a quick and powerful 290-pound defensive end, could be a good complement opposite DE Leonard Little. 14. Carolina (8-8) Projected pick: +Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville The Panthers need help at middle linebacker, left tackle, safety and tight end, but it also might be time to address life after QB Jake Delhomme. If Brohm elects to leave school early, he should be taken somewhere between picks No. 10 and 20. 15. Pittsburgh (8-8) Projected pick: Quentin Moses, DE/OLB, Georgia Moses' stock is dropping after a subpar senior year, but it will spike once he works out at the combine next month. 16. Green Bay (8-8) Projected pick: +Marshawn Lynch, RB, Cal QB Brett Favre could help maximize Lynch's explosiveness and versatility if they're working in the same backfield in 2007. 17. Jacksonville (8-8) Projected pick: +Ted Ginn Jr., WR/RS, Ohio State Ginn Jr. has a tough decision to make after injuring his ankle in the first quarter of the BCS title game. Assuming he turns pro, the Jaguars could use his speed. Despite spending first-round picks on the position in 2004 (Reggie Williams) and 2005 (Matt Jones), no Jaguar finished in the NFL's top 50 in catches. 18. Cincinnati (8-8) Projected pick: Tank Tyler, DT, N.C. State Tyler had a monster season as a senior, and his combination of power and quickness would help upgrade the Bengals' ailing defensive front. 19. Tennessee (8-8) Projected pick: +Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC Jarrett is a dynamic playmaker with extraordinary hand-eye coordination, but he might not run well enough to land a spot in the top 15. However, the former Trojans receiver could make quite a team with the former Longhorns quarterback (Vince Young) in Tennessee. 20. N.Y. Giants (8-8) Projected pick: +Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsburgh The Giants must upgrade their cover-corner situation, and Revis displays the athleticism and ball skills to fit their needs. Revis will compete for the second cornerback taken behind Hall in this year's class. 21. Denver (9-7) Projected pick: Daymeion Hughes, CB, Cal The tragic passing of Darrent Williams will force the Broncos to re-evaluate their personnel needs this offseason. 22. Dallas (9-7) Projected pick: +Reggie Nelson, S, Florida Nelson, a speedy center fielder with excellent ball skills, would provide an ideal complement next to hard-hitting S Roy Williams. 23. Kansas City (9-7) Projected pick: +Sidney Rice, WR, South Carolina Rice's draft stock could fluctuate greatly depending on his postseason workouts. Assuming he grades out as a late first-round prospect, the Chiefs would welcome his pass-catching services on the perimeter. 24. y-New England (from Seattle) Projected pick: +Jarvis Moss, DE/OLB, Florida Moss is an undersized pass-rushing end who would fit well as an outside linebacker in the Patriots' 3-4 defensive scheme. Plus, Bill Belichick obviously has a thing for Gators players. 25. y-N.Y. Jets (10-6) Projected pick: Kenny Irons, RB, Auburn Irons' draft stock is plummeting after a disappointing senior campaign. However, don't be surprised if he works his way back into the first round by running well and checking out physically at next month's combine. The Jets might be desperate enough to take a gamble. 26. y-New Orleans (10-6) Projected pick: Marcus McCauley, CB, Fresno State The Saints need lots of help on defense, and selecting McCauley would be a step in the right direction. McCauley is raw but he's also a 6-foot-1 cornerback with 4.3-second speed in the 40-yard dash. 27. y-Philadelphia (10-6) Projected pick: +Lawrence Timmons, OLB, Florida State Timmons is unpolished, but he's a big hitter with great speed for his size. 28. y-New England (12-4) Projected pick: Jeff Samardzija, WR, Notre Dame Samardzija could easily slip out of the first round due to his desire to play both baseball (Cubs) and football professionally. The Patriots should be "in the know" thanks to their old buddy Charlie Weis. 29. y-Indianapolis (12-4) Projected pick: Patrick Willis, ILB, Ole Miss The Colts' run defense was abysmal during the regular season, so drafting a one-man wrecking crew like Willis makes a lot of sense with this pick. Willis notched 265 tackles during his final three seasons at Ole Miss. 30. y-Chicago (13-3) Projected pick: Levi Brown, OT, Penn State Brown could slip after a disappointing senior season, but it's still tough to find a tackle with his combination of size and agility. 31. y-Baltimore (13-3) Projected pick: LaMarr Woodley, DE/OLB, Michigan The Ravens could use a youth influx at linebacker, and Woodley would be a good fit thanks to his experience playing in a similar hybrid 3-4/4-3 defensive scheme at Michigan. 32. y-San Diego (14-2) Projected pick: Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU A young weapon like Bowe at wide receiver could take an already-potent Chargers offense to the next level.

Bills Fan888 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 If Lynch is still on the boards by Green Bay I would trade down and grab him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 2 quick observations: 1. if that "Top 5 Cornerback" list isnt enough motivation to re-sign Nate, i dont know what is! aside from Hall, there are NO major CBs coming out this year. so forget about taking one in the 1st. 2. I wonder if Samardzija isnt "playing dead" telling everyone he wants to play baseball so he slips to New England and once he's picked by the Pats he drops Baseball altogether??? i wouldnt put it past Samardzija/Weiss/Belichick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 What about Asante Samuel. WHAT ABOUT HIM?!? you think he's really gonna be that much cheaper to sign than Nate? not after putting up a good showing in the playoffs so far. at this point Asante Samuel is THE CB going into free agency. Signing Nate will be the same thing. and im pretty sure we are talking about the draft here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Its more Clements' call than anyones oh i understand that. and if he goes and Marv says "hey, we offered him the same money, he just wanted to play in Wherever" im cool with that. but if we get a Pat Williams thing(not that it will ever be THAT bad) where we miss keeping him for the difference of a million bucks, then ill be furious.
