1billsfan Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 http://www.gbnreport.com/2007projection.html Great Blue North has updated their 3 round mock draft and so I decided to map out three possible draft scenarios for the Bills. I only picked players that were available when the Bills turn came. The third scenario is the Bills swaping first round picks with Denver (who after missing out on Patrick Kearney would possibly love to be able to draft Adam Carriker) with the Bills also getting Denver's second round pick. It's only a scenario, pure speculation on my part. BTW, Peterson was off the board. 1st scenario: 1st Patrick Willis MLB 2nd Brian Leonard FB 3rd Antonio Pittman RB 3rd Anthony Waters OLB 2nd scenario: 1st Marshawn Lynch RB 2nd Josh Wilson CB 3rd Justin Durant MLB 3rd Anthony Waters OLB 3rd scenario: 1st Paul Posluszny OLB 2nd Brian Leonard FB 2nd Tanard Jackson CB 3rd Justin Durant MLB 3rd Brandon Jackson RB Though I really like Lynch, the other two scenarios would also work for me. But then again, I was the one picking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't this the guy who was a RB for multiple years and then got switched to a FB his senior year because of a better RB on the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're not going to trade for Turner or draft a RB in round one, and do take Willis, I very much like the idea of drafting Leonard and Pittman (or perhaps Booker, Bush, etc.) It would immediately fill a lot of holes and we wouldn't have to necessarily count on Leonard or Pittman to be a stud. We could use two backs. Leonard could immediately be the third down back and short yardage back and fullback if we needed one. he wouldn't have to be counted on as being a full time workhorse RB but could be very valuable. And we could run a RBBC of A train, Leonard and Pittman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStranger76 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I love the Waters pick up in the 3rd! He's a guy who not many are talking about but who could definitely handle the punishment that the MLB position requires. By the way, he is available in the 3rd because of an injury last year. I see him as a less athletic but stronger Patrick Wills, who after a year of being eased into the system with a little more playing time as the year goes on, switch to MLB full time next year with Crowell moving back outside. Can't wait for the draft man!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Also how did we get the second 2nd round pick in the 3rd scenario? The trade was described in the first paragraph. It's a first round trade back scenario with Denver, pure speculation on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drnykterstein Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 After seeing 5000 posts and articles and video and mock drafts I think I've decided I would be happy if we got Patrick Willis. I don't like the prospect of have to deal with the name "Willis" so soon, but maybe it'll help us quickly erase the memory. Plus.. yeah seems like a good player with a great outlook on life. Marv's kind of guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Looking how GBN has the players falling I'd have to Grab Branch with our first- I like Lynch but I would be pretty excited about a draft day like this. 1. Alan Branch 2. CB - there are CBs who are going to be availible to the Bills who physically are on par with the CBs going in the first round- Eric Wright, Marcus McCauley, John Wade 3a. best LB avail- example Justin Durant or Buster Davis 3b part of the Turner trade 4 best LB Avail-example Quincy Black or Antwan Barnes 5th part of Turner trade -best WR or RB Avail- Jackie Battle 6th best RB or WR-Laurent Robinson 7a best player avail- Courtney Brown CB 7b Jordan Kent wr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicBills Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I have to chime in about Leonard. Like Kelly and Daq, the only way I would want to see the Bills taking Leonard is if it's in conjunction with another RB like Pittman or Bush. I'm not certain why everyone on TSW seems to be enamored with Leonard. To me he is nothing but a Rob Konrad clone with a bit more speed. He's not even Alstott (sp) -- and I think Alstott was perhaps the most overrated player in the history of the NFL. Big statement, I know. That man owes his entire career to John Madden. But that's a different rant. Konrad and Alstott are fine at what they do -- but neither are guys you build a rushing attack around. I would argue it's difficult to even build a RB by committee approach with them and a true TB because of their limitations. Factoring in all those considerations, I think it would be a terrible waste of a pick for the Bills to take Leonard with a 2nd rounder and expect him to fulfill the gaping hole in the backfield. But that's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's me. I agree, for another reason. It would take up 2 draft picks to get Leonard and, say, Pittman. We need those picks for other positions.

Pete Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Absolutely ZERO chance of drafting a FB in the 2nd round. I respectfully disagree. Especially when the FB is as talented a receiver as Leonard. He would start from day 1 and I bet he would lead the team in receptions this year. We need a pass catching FB or a TE thats a receiving threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Absolutely ZERO chance of drafting a FB in the 2nd round. Leonard isn't going to play FB. He's going to play RB, FB, 3rd down back, short yardage back, two back backfield back. He's got great hands. He can leap a mile. He's tough as hell.
