Brandon Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Bills receive picks 17, 73 and 82 Chiefs receive picks 11 and 114 17) WR Devin Thomas, Michigan State 41) CB Antoine Cason, Arizona 72) DE Jason Jones, Eastern Michigan 73) FS Tyvon Branch, Connecticut 82) TE Jermichael Finley, Texas 132) OG Mike McGlynn, Pittsburgh 147) OC John Sullivan, Notre Dame 179) WR Pierre Garcon, Mount Union 219) WR Todd Blythe, Iowa State 224) CB Jonathan Zenon, LSU 251) OLB Steve Octavien, Nebraska Obviously, I think that the rumored trade with KC will happen, it makes too much sense for both teams. Devin Thomas is probably their guy at 17, but I wouldn't be surprised if they pick Hardy or Sweed there, either. 41 is probably a little low for Cason, but they'll probably still get a solid CB prospect this deep in the draft, making a move up less likely. The rest all fill various needs for competition and depth, but two clarifications are probably in order. One is the FS. The Bills always throw a curveball, usually in R3, and I feel that FS will probably be that pick this year. I wouldn't be shocked if they pick Tyrell Johnson at 41 over a CB, either. The other interesting thing will be to see whether they pick two WRs or three. I have them picking three, one in the first, two more late. If they go with two, I think they'll still pick a WR in the 1st, but the 2nd one will probably be in R4 or perhaps 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Bills trade their 1st and Losman to Detroit for their 1st and Roy Williams. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 i think you have a pick in there that we dont have anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'm going to follow your lead. I like the Chiefs trade. It may be a little much, but I would also like to see a trade up made with the extra 3rd round pick after the trade down. Something like Bills move up to Atlanta's #37 for #41 and #82 OR if Stewart and Mendenhall are gone.....Buffalo moves up to Seattle's #25 for #41 and #72/73 (and a 4th rounder IF necessary) So my 2 scenarios would go like this: 17. Devin Thomas/Limas Sweed 37. Brandon Flowers/Antoine Cason or: 17. Devin Thomas/Limas Sweed 25. Aqib Talib/Mike Jenkins/Antoine Cason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ax4782 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Buffalo trades down to #17 with Kansas City, giving our #11 for their #17 and their 2nd. 1. Devin Thomas WR 2. Brandon Flowers CB 2. Fred Davis TE 3. Jason Jones DE 4. Andre Fluellen DT 4. Jerome Simpson WR 5. Shawn Crable OLB 6. Kory Lichtensteiger C 7. Matt Spanos C/G 7. Josh Johnson QB 7. Jonathan Zenon CB Buffalo addresses their three need positions in the first two rounds, and drafts talented depth at positions where we are solid, but need better rotational players. I think Fluellen is a bit underrated and is an excellent pick up in the Fourth Round. Flowers may be gone at #37, which is the Chiefs 2nd that I have us getting, and if that is the case, look for them to take Dan Connor LB Penn State if he is still available. If both are gone, don't be surprised if Buffalo takes another WR, like Malcolm Kelly who I think is going to slip to that point in the second round.

ans4e64 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Bills trade Losman for Peyton Manning. GO BILLS!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 yeah we dealt the 73rd for stroud We dealt 71 for Marcus Stroud. 73 is part of that projected trade with the Chiefs. The Bills essentially are getting pick 73, plus a swap of 114 for 82 to make the move down with KC. No extra picks. KC has three 3rd round picks at the moment.

We need another high motor white DE! In reality, I hope both Scott and Jamey Richard get drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 K-9 I would love this, though Detroit would be nuts to do this. Of course they would. But we're talking Matt Millen here. Besides, when it comes to predictions, my credo is: no guts, no glory. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I read that the Broncos would take Thomas if we don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 The first pick is going to be a DE. We need a pass rush. It will be Merling or Harvey, and both are worthy of the 11 pick, no matter who you talk to. Merling, before his injury, was expected to go 8 - 12. The guy is a beast and would be awesome paired with Stroud and McCargo/Johnson. Our DEs are small and need a rotation to be effective. Denney and Kelsay are nothing special. If we don't get a DE, the opposition will just stop Stroud and ignore our ends. A pass rush will help the secondary. Then the Bills will trade back into the 1st or at least up in the 2nd to take a WR, which my guess will be James Hardy, because I think Thomas, Sweed, and Kelly will be gone. They will pick up another CB later in the draft and find a FB, TE, and a backup LB in the later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 I read that the Broncos would take Thomas if we don't I'm hearing OT for the donkeys, hence KCs motivation for trading to 11. In fact, I think there will be a run on OTs in the early teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will pick up another CB later in the draft and find a FB, TE, and a backup LB in the later rounds. Merling and pass rush don't belong in the same sentance. He is VERY strong against the run, below average at getting to the QB. He has 10 sacks in 3 years playing against COLLEGE COMPETITION. In the same time span, Kelsay has 10.5 sacks against NFL COMPETITION. You need to have (at least) adequate DT's to have a good pass rush, and Kelsay played along side the likes of Tripplett, K. Williams, and Tim F---IN Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
