Here is what I am thinking and it is also very realistic and need based. 3rd.....TE.....Martin Rucker 4th (a).....C.....Steve Justice 4th (b).....FB.....Owen Schmitt.....or.....Peyton Hillis if Schmitt is gone 5th.....DE.....Wallace Gilberry These next 4 picks I believe will make or break this draft. We need to build upon what seems to be a successful 1st day and the above players would do just that. Thoughts? Discuss...

I personnaly like DE Wallace Gilberry in the 5th round.

Kelsay and Denny are nothing more than servicable backups. The only problem with that is the contracts that are in place. Too expensive to keep on the bench. But we do have the cap room to keep them both if we wnted and rotate them.

http://walterfootball.com/mattpredraftbuf.php Buffalo Bills (Last Year: 7-9) I personally feel like the smartest and most productive use of free agency this year was the Buffalo Bills. They traded some mid-round picks for Marcus Stroud, who is one of the elite defensive tackles in the NFL, as long as he stays healthy. I like the signing of Kawika Mitchell as a weakside linebacker. Spencer Johnson brings depth at defensive tackle. I felt like Dick Jauron should have gotten mention for Coach of the Year last season. Call me crazy - to go through what he did with all the injuries, a rookie quarterback, and still end up with seven wins is very impressive in my book. I'm not blowing smoke when I say the Buffalo Bills have the talent to absolutely win the AFC East, and yes, beat the New England Patriots. Likely to happen? No. Is the potential there? I think so. Right to the Bills range with the 11th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft: Limas Sweed: A popular pick has been Malcolm Kelly to the Bills, which I never once bought into, considering the depth in this draft class at receiver. If they were to go with a receiver Sweed is the only one who I could see happening here. I don't think this is very likely to happen, considering Sweed doesn't give much value at No. 11, then again neither did Donte Whitner at No. 8 (in terms of consensus opinion) or trading up for John McCargo at No. 26 both in the 2006 Draft. Sweed is a sleeper to the Bills here. Mike Jenkins, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Aqib Talib, Antoine Cason: The Bills' second-biggest need is cornerback, though it's not a glaring need. They have semi-adequate starters in Terrence McGee and Jabari Greer. Ashton Youboty has the upside to break out in his third season, but they don't have a lock-down guy, and it's possible they look at this position. The Bills employ a Tampa-2 hybrid defense (meaning some Cover-2 zone, some press man coverage) so the kind of player they are looking for here in terms of a corner is entirely wide open. Talib is the best fit for the Tampa-2 in this draft, but Antoine Cason is not far behind. If they want to look at more of a man-cover corner, Cromartie would be the pick here. Jenkins has some range here, but his character concerns might not appeal to this front office. If all four of these players were on the board and I had to predict which one, I'd say Aqib Talib with his elite ball skills and instincts, which is what teams that employ the Tampa-2 scheme look for (and it's hard to judge the Bills because they do run a hybrid Tampa-2). Phillip Merling: I think the Bills are 80 percent likely to go defensive end at No. 11. One of the two players that should be on the board whom they will consider is Clemson prospect Phillip Merling. I got criticized for being high on him after Mike Mayock put him in his top 10 of his initial big board, yet Merling made my All-Underrated Preseason Team back in August 2007. Merling's calling card is his aggression toward the run, and I think his player comparison is Patrick Kerney if you are looking for one. He has quicker hips and is a better pass rusher than given credit for. If Derrick Harvey is off the board, I think they will definitely consider Merling at No. 11. Derrick Harvey: This team is in dire need of a pass rush. Chris Kelsay (28 years old, 2.5 sacks), and Ryan Denney (willl be 31 years old and 1 sack last season) are mediocre talents at defensive end, and must be replaced. If you want to beat the New England Patriots, you need a pass rush. Exhibit A: The Super Bowl Champion New York Giants. Harvey will bring a pass rush. He really bulked up for the Combine at 271 pounds, and this immediately raised his stock to No. 11 overall in my next mock draft. I was worried about his slim frame, but it looks like he has started to mature physically. I think he will get faster and stronger, so that's certainly a positive here. He has the quickest first step in his pass rush of any player in this draft, including Vernon Gholston. I have called this pick ever since the Combine, and I will not stop with it as long as Harvey is available to the Bills in my mock draft. Now trust me, Bills fans on the message boards I post on have criticized me time and time again for not giving them a wide receiver in the first round - but I missed the part when it was impossible to draft a productive receiver in Rounds 2 or 3. Jordy Nelson, Earl Bennett, Early Doucet, and Malcolm Kelly are possibilities in the second round (and yes I think Kelly can fall that far if he is a huge medical/speed concern). In the third-round range I think they should look at Keenan Burton, Mario Manningham, and Harry Douglas if they don't go receiver in the second. The Bills do have a bit of a need for a center, so Mike Pollack, Jamey Richard, Kory Lichtensteiger, and Fernando Velasco are all whom they could target at center from the third round to the seventh round. They have a need at tight end as well. Fred Davis and Dustin Keller are in their range at their No. 41 pick. John Sullivan, Martellus Bennett, Brad Cottam, and Jacob Tamme are in their mid-round draft range. Also, they could look at guard; Jeremy Zuttah and Oniel Cousins have the versatility to play both guard and center, and could be considered in the third or fourth rounds. Eric Young, Roy Schuening, Mike McGlynn, and Donald Thomas are in their mid-round range (3rd-5th) as well. If they don't take a corner in the first or second round, they might want to try to find a sleeper in the third or fourth round as well with players like Chevis Jackson, Patrick Lee and Zack Bowman. The Bills are going to come out of this draft as an extremely dangerous football team if they choose some solid prospects. I am telling you right now to not doubt this team; they are looking like the next Cleveland Browns.

The money didnt really drop because Long signed a 5 yr deal instead of the 6yr that most #1s sign.

Would be great if it happened but I dont see it happening...not realistic for that many players to fall that far.

This definitly needs a pinning.

Well I did have the same 40 time as you did but I ALSO put up 56 reps of 475 lbs 2 minutes after and had a 56" vertical leap.

You get my PM with my email address?

The Cash!!!

Thanks OBF.....I guess the sun shines on a dogs ass every now and then huh?

I dont remember much of my 10 days there except for Papa Joes and Dons Lighthouse...DONT TAKE YOUR WIFE TO EITHER!!!... Oh and I think it is still legal to drive drunk there as long as you put your hazard lights on. that way if you hit someone it will be their fault for not getting out of your way.

I did...Look at my final 2 in my brackett. Kansas vs Memphis with a Kansas win!!!

Can I just get paid now? I want my fuggin prizes!!!

Yes there was a handshake but it went something like : 2 jet x shallow y cross fake 40 I think. Way too many moving parts for me!

Haha you cannot be serious with this. Kettle calling the pot black. If there is anyone over the last year that was unable to discuss the QB position like someone who was older than 9 it was you. But now that you ate your humble pie all those big mouthed rants and personal attacks of yours ( that have been removed by the mods) you've toned your arrogant act down a few notches. I see now though that you aren't the self professed authority you used to try to pawn yourself off as . (with the help of the mods silencing anyone that upstaged you) So now tell us what you know about football . Why are you instead talking about meaningless crap like this instead? Seems that now you are reduced to commending Losman for having a good attitude. What happened to all the boisterous garbage about how Edwards would be nothing but a clipboard holder for 'JP' ? Go to the top of the pageReport Post +Quote Post No attacks there huh?

You spew a bunch of garbage and nothing else. I am a Buffalo Bills fan and will root for whoever is playing for my team. One guy don't win ball games last time I checked.

You go on and on about crusading for /against a player but look at everyone of your posts today( your total post count). Talk about pot calling the kettle black. Oh yeah BTW there was a secret canoe club meeting by the MODS to delete certain posts to help the JP faithful out! You totally figured that one out all by yourself so way to go. Keep posting your senseless drivel as I do believe that TSW is looking for a new whipping boy!

2X every 3 months? Thats great but do you leave your house? What do you drive (hybrid?). Share your secrets damn it. I cant complain tough as I am only spending about 250.00 per month in 2 vehicles. Minivan and SUV!
