pick came in very quick again.....

I don't think the Bills like either QB. Neither will play this year, and they probably don't view either as a franchise QB, so why waste a top 45 pick on that. Nobody else in the league seems to view them highly. They're looking for a player who can come in and play right away.

Looks like it will be Benn

1. Charles Brown 2. Rodger Saffold (not a big fan) 3. Eric Norwood 4. Jeff Owens 5. Linval Joseph 6. John Skelton 5 players I suspect are on the Bills radar this evening.

Nate Allen is one of my favorite safeties in this years class. He's a gamer and makes a lot of plays on the ball (way more than Mays). He would be too much of a luxury pick for the Bills at #41, though. I'd prefer a defender in the front 7 or OL with that pick.

Quick clip of Norwood:

Exatly can you imagine NE heading into next year's draft with 3 1st round pikcs. It's certainly possible. I'm sure they will at least parlay one of their 2nd's today into a 3rd and 2nd next year, which means worst case they'll have 2 #1's & 2 #2's for the 2011 draft. To add a little to my thinking that the Bills like Norwood: He comes at a great position of need, OLB, and can rush the passer. He also has a full body of work, and had a great career at South Carolina. A 4 year player, who earned 1st team All SEC 3 years in a row. Also earned 1st Team All American his senior season. Remember, Nix puts a lot of stock into a full body of work, and Norwood's got that.

1. The Bears covet Nate Allen (Safety from South Florida). He's still on the board, but could be the next safety off the board. Doesn't have the fame of Taylor Mays, but is probably more ready to play now. Without a 2nd round pick the Bears will more than likely have to move up to land Allen. Now news breaks there shopping several of their LB's to add picks. I think the Bears will make an aggresive trade up to land their man.....Nate Allen. 2. I think it's more likely the Bills trade back then up this round. I suspect the Bills are high on Eric Norwood, who would be a bit of a reach at #41, but may not be there at #72. By moving back and picking up an extra 3rd-4th they could land Norwood at a more reasonable slot. 3. Yesterday when the Chargers made the huge moveup to #12 I was sure it was to land Dan Williams. Wrong. I suspected for a long time that SD liked Jeff Owens to replace Jamaal Williams as NT. Now without a 2nd round pick, I think the Chargers will really be hoping to see Owens on the board when they pick in Round 3. A.J. Smith has clearly been reaching for needs the last few years so don't be surprised to see SD move up again and target their desired NT. 4. Let's hope the Pats don't turn one of their 2nd round picks into a 2011 1st round pick.

It's funny how most are saying that Spiiller to Buffalo was somehow a big surprise/shock. Any fan who has a slight clue as to what's going on has had to of heard Spiller's name mentioned quite a bit over the ladt month. Many actually had spiller going to the Bills...including, Charles Davis, Mike Mayock, and Nolan Nawrocki. Some may not like the pick, but it definitely didn't come out of left field like the Whitner pick 4 years ago. like it or not the Bills went with their board and you have to respect that. No more reaching for needs, and I like it. Good night, hopefully we can add 2 starters tomorrow! I'd be happy with Sergio Kindle!

1. Sergio Kindle (not sure about the rumor about injury) - a nice OLB who can rush the passer 2. Charles Brown - has the potential to be a LT, not sure he is a day 1 starter, but I like what I see from this guy on film, a lot better than Anthony Davis IMO 3. Linval Joseph - A big bodied DL who fits into the 3-4 4. Eric Norwood - another OLB who can get after the passer 5. Jimmy Clausen - I've been on record as not being a big fan of Clausen. At the #41 I'd be much more comfortable with gambling on him. Don't know if he'll be the answer at QB in B-Lo, but it may be worth the risk at #41, don't trade away additional picks to land him, though

If you look at Dan Williams tape against Alabama (on YouTube) he's a non factor on far too many plays. He get's washed out in that game way too often to be confident with that guy as a top 10 pick. If the laziness reports are true, it's even further proof he's not worth a top 10 investment. Let's hope the Bills follow their board and all the scouts who've been analyzing players for the last 10 months.

Agreed 100%. He is a 2nd round talent who plays at a premium position. I also fear he'll be in the running when the pick is up.

Exactly now that LaCanfora is reporting he'll stay, means he's probably going. The Steelers are probably trying to coax an extra mid round pick out of whatever team (the Raiders) want Ben. By the way I think this would be a big time trade for the Raiders. Yeah, they're giving up their best defender, but in order to start competing they need a competent starting QB, and Big Ben is much more than that. They also still would have a 1st round pick to take a CB to replace Asohmuga.

Could very well be, but it wouldn't surprise me is Nawrocki's connect with the Bills (Brandon or Modrak) is still with the team so I'm sure he has the pulse on the situation. For those saying Saffold and Joseph in the 2nd and 3rd, notice how Nawrocki has them both going in the 1st round. Russ Lande's been telling me for a while that Linval Joseph may be pushed up into the 1st round when it's all said and done. It looks like he may be right.

Thanks fro posting, I've been on the lookout for Nawrocki's final mock all morning. Should be interesting!

McClain #1, and Cody #2 would be a huge dissapointment IMO. An ILB in a 3-4 defense who isn't a thumper and not very fast at #9 is a reach. The dropoff between guys like Brandon Spikes, Donald Butler, Sean Lee & Rolando McClain is not very significant. To then follow up reaching for McClain, by reaching for Cody would be a huge mistake. Cody is out of shape, and extremely slow. He actually ran the slowest 40 time, of any timed NFL prospect in the last 25 years. That's a scary stat. In the NFL 3-4 DT's need to be big (which Cody is), but they also need to be athletic and have great endurance. Cody has netiher. I could be wrong, but I'm just stating my strong opinions. In the end I hope Nix goes out and gets the right guys for this team.

Okay so it looks like: 1- Trent Williams 2- Russell Okung 3- C.J. Spiller 4- Rolando McClain 5- Dan Williams Wouldn't mind the first 3, and I prefer Trent Williams to Okung. Don't like Dan Williams or McClain with the #9 pick, so that would definitely dissapoint. Now the last piece of the puzzle is to wait on Nolan Nawrocki's final mock draft, which should be realeased later today. He's accurately predicted the Bills #1 pick the last 4 years (Whitner, Lynch, McKelvin, Maybin).

Great content. Thanks for sharing.

I think the Eagles are the team that benefits the most from this trade. For a 5th round pick, they get a quality starting weakside LB, who is still relatively young (25). Good move.

Ernie Sims is a good player for the Eagles.

I could see Dan Williams going lower than where most people are projecting him now as well. I've thought for a while that Dan Williams has been overhyped in the media. He and Jared Odrick have clearly become the #3 & #3A DT's of this draft behind Suh and McCoy, but both are late 1st round prospects. It wouldn't be all that surprising to see Odrick go before him, because he could be viewed as a more versatile, safer pick.

Good call on the Rams getting a 1 next year plus some for this years #33. You'd have to assume some team will have a player that they have with a solid mid 1st round grade still on the baord at #33.

Jeff Owens, DT, Georgia - will be selected in Round 2 of the draft (I've seen him mainly in round 5 in mock drafts) Rolandon McClain will not be selected in the 1st half of round 1. Tim Tebow will not be selcted in Round 1. Brian Bulaga is not selected in the Top 10 of the draft. Trent Williams is off the board before Russell Okung.

Are the ones the are already up on youtube just snippets or the whole segments? So far on youtube there is one with Bradford, Clausen, McCoy and Tebow.

I didn't include Clausen because deep down I don't think the Bills are interested in him in the top 10. A little small, a good but not great arm, okay accuracy on the deep ball, but needs work. I don't really see much of a difference between Clausen and Quinn's skill sets coming out and so far Quinn hasn't produced in the NFL. I can't envision Buddy Nix thinking that Jimmy Clausen is the answer at QB. Dan Williams is another prospect who I feel has been overrated. His tape does not warrant a top 10 pick.
