I think Brandon Kaufman has a shot, too. Watch this catch. I've queued it up for you! Kaufman's problem was bad QB. He gains separation time and again, but Pedrone never gets it to him right.

http://www.buffalobillsdraft.com/2013/05/buffalo-bills-how-will-rookie-additions-fit-doug-marrones-passing-offense/ Dan Hope's excellent article outlines how each rookie fits into Marrone-Hackett's offense. Best I've come across so far.

Let's see... Kolb: 64% 60%, and 57% of his passes in his last 3 years, fumbled 6, 8, and 2 times, completed 4, 7, and 9 TDs, EJM: 70%, 69%, and 68% of his passes in his last 3 years, fumbled 0, 0, and 0, times, completed 4, 18, and 23 TDs.

I loved the pick. I expressed as much to Cole Muzio of Breitbart Sports when I returned from our DraftTek live mock and celebration in Las Vegas. This guy will become great. Count on it.

Two more articles. This one is Breitbart Sports interviewing me (LAMP!): http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Sports/2013/05/01/Best-in-Class This one is Sal Capaccio's 12 things I hink about the Bills: http://www.wgr550.com/pages/16228457.php?poll122537ViewResults=1

Bills release 4 players Posted by Chris Brown on April 29, 2013 – 4:01 pm In order to make room for the 16 undrafted rookies that agreed to terms with the Bills Monday, Buffalo released four players from their roster. The Bills released QB Aaron Corp, T Adam Grant, K Chris Koepplin and TE Joe Sawyer. Buffalo’s roster is now at the maximum offseason figure of 90. Under the new CBA even unsigned draft choices count against the roster total.

He has talent. I had him at #181 and Da'Rick Rogers at #105, so we got 2 extra picks!

Yep.

What fun! Some of the readers must have missed the fact that football is entertainment. The Texans and Bills were tied for dead last in 3rd down defense last year. 44% of our opponents' attempts resulted in first downs. Pettine's defense will help, but the Bills' draft won't. Anyway, the double trade-down is the best-case scenario if we have 20-20 hindsight: RD1 -Trade Down (Rams) RD1 - Trade Down (49ers) RD1 - EJ Manuel QB RD2 - Justin Hunter WR RD2 - Jonathan Hankins DT RD2 - David Amerson CB/S Trade Down (Kiko Alonso was taken 52 slots too early) RD3 - Corey Lemonier LB (Marquise Goodwin was taken 33 slots too early) RD3 - Brian Winters OG RD4 - Philip Thomas FS RD5 - William Campbell DE34 RD6 - Mychal Rivera TE RD7 - Steve Beauharnais ILB

Yep. I love the players heading the Bills' way, especially today. The computer made those picks you saw, based on each team's positional priorities. No bias, no talking head.

We think the picks before our next one will be Carradine, Hunt, Geno, Arthur Brown, Cyprien, Bray, Okafor, Damontre Moore.

http://www.drafttek.com/2013-NFL-Mock-Draft-Round2.asp We are updating the Draftsim after every pick. We are also getting comments from our analysts within 5 minutes of the pick. Do drop in! I like these picks, but would substitute one pick for the alternate suggestion on the right. Astro

Excellent thread. It represents a lot of work!

So, Gene Nosesmith at #8?

You make an excellent point! They don't have A Quarterback; they have multiple scenarios depending on the madness that happens ahead of them. This is going to be a great ride! Buckle up!

All Tough Draft: RD1---Ryan Nassib QB RD1---Xavier Rhodes CB RD3---Jonathan Cyprien SS Florida Int. RD4---Terron Armstead OG/RT Arkansas-Pine Bluff RD5---Oday Aboushi LT RD6---Eric Martin DE Nebraska RD7---Mike Shanahan TE Pittsburgh UDFA-Vince Williams ILB Florida State It's a word all 4 key players in the War Room have mentioned. Thought it'd be fun to draft one key word! Draft can't come soon enough!

per tweet from NFL Network. 19 of 32 teams have agreed so far!

The draft is my drug, and yes I've refused methadone. Learning about the players that year, making my spreadsheet, editing the comments on DraftTek, spending hours on here, watching video of players...oh my God! I'm in deeper than I thought! 3 days, 3 hours, 28 minutes, 53 seconds more fun!

31-year-old, so he has a couple good years left of play while a rookie gets seasoning on the PS and ST. This has huge implications for what the Bills can do to offense in the draft. They can spend 3 of the first 4 picks on offense (I figure one pick's a CB), then draft a more raw LB in RD 5-6. A couple of ILBs could slip into the 5th-6th for various reasons. Bruce Taylor ILB Virginia Tech 6'2" 244 - Lisfranc injury drops him here, so recovery time + schooling in Pettine defense=Dansby. Albert Rosette ILB Nevada 6'2" 245 - Mountain West, 128 tackles, Wolf Pack's top run stopper, good player on bad team Keith Pough OLB Howard 6'2" 241 - Another Lisfranc surgery guy. My favorite LB on the back end of the draft.

Awesome!

Mingo, Rambo, Wingo, Geno, Sio, Trevardo Bostic, Duh-Rick, Tj McDonald, Tharold

The Bills have thoroughly vetted 9 quarterbacks in this draft. nix says there are 2-3 guys who can become franchise QB. It is possible that Nix has one in mind, but I don't think so. If he has one, he'll take him at 8 to avoid Armaggedon. If he has 2-3 he likes, he can trade down if Tavon- Vaccaro- Lane Johnson gives him an oppty to do so. Johnson is coveted by 11, 13, and 19, as well as the Giants (I'm not at my work computer, but that's close). We think the Jets will take Vaccaro.

You can substitute Nassib-Barkley-Manuel for Wilson if you prefer. I prefer Barkley for strictly a WCO (best play-action fake of the lot), but Nassib and Manuel are more versatile.

Lighten up, Kevin. This is done for fun. It's called entertainment.

Bills get Wilson, Hunter, and Okafor, then Swope and Wreh Wilson. What's not to like? Too many good players?
