  1. I dont see us having to take a Tight End at all. I just dont think they are that high on Ebron. I think they are going OT in the first round unless someone amazing drops. I also think that Matthews, Lewan, and Robinson are off the board. I really am starting to think that Zach Martin will be the pick at # 9. I've always been high on him. I like him more than Lewan and Ebron. If the Bills dont take Ebron they are not going to take a TE at all in my opinion. I actually think that the 2nd round is an excellent time to take a Defensive End. My prediction for the Bills draft is: 1st- Zach Martin OT Notre Dame 2nd- Scott Crichton DE Oregon State 3rd- Best Available WR, CB, RB
  2. Lawrence is going to be a late first round or 2nd round pick so it doesn't matter.
  3. Sorry but some of your value is way off. Lawrence is being talked about as a late first round early 2nd round pick. You have him going round 4. I dont believe that a 6'0 4.4 37 inch vertical with 4 years and 12 INTS in Ross Cockrell will be a 7th round pick. Latimer is probably a 2nd round or 3rd round guy at worst.
  4. I'm not against it either. The people laughing don't know anything about him. He could play inside or out. With that said, I can't see the Bills pulling the trigger.
  5. Mosely is not a top 10 pick. He is a mid to late first rounder. LB's who dont rush the passer always drop in drafts unless they are absolutely special like Patrick Willis or Luke Kuechley. If I had to make a top 10 board after all the moves we made it would look something like this 1. Jadaveon Clowney DE South Carolina 2. Khalil Mack OLB Buffalo 3. Sammy Watkins WR Clemson 4. Greg Robinson OT Auburn 5. Jake Matthews OT Texas A & M 6. Mike Evans WR Texas A & M 7. Eric Ebron TE North Carolina 8. Zach Martin OT/OG Notre Dame 9. Taylor Lewan OT Michigan
  6. I am not usually one of those "I've heard of him sign him types" but for years we have struggled to stop the run mostly due to the fact that we have not had a thumper type MLB and we have two DT's who are more penatrators than gap fillers. This might be a move that makes sense. Wilfork grew up a Bills fan, he's not a guy who is looking for that one last chance at a ring because he already has some, and he would love to get back at the Patriots for releasing him. He would be fantastic on a short term deal with many incentives. He could be a guy to come in on obvious running downs to keep him fresh. I'd give him a look for sure.
  7. I would make a run on Anthony Collins the RT from Cincinnati. He'd probably get 4-5 million a year and would be a huge upgrade over Pears.
  8. I think that Benjamin compares very well to Alshon Jeffrey. Both big bodied WRs that fail to separate against NFL CBs because of their lack of long speed. Benjamin will drop a couple too but hell also go up and get balls that you don't think could be caught. You don't teach 6'5 240 with 4.6 speed. Very raw, he will need time. Upside is Jeffrey. Downside is USC Mike Williams
  9. Uh no he isn't. He's projected to be a mid to late 1st rounder. He's also a severe boom or bust pick.
  10. I was under the impression that teams couldn't deny their coaches a promotion. That means they technically can't tell O'Neil he can't take the job because he would be promoted from LB's coach to Defensive Coordinator. The only time you can deny someone is for a like promotion(DC to DC, HC to HC) which leads to draft pick compensation.
  11. I'll throw my two cents in since I was also at practice today. The pace was much slower today than it was yesterday from what I heard. The first part of practice was spent going over assignments(defensively and special teams) while the offense worked on drill work with their respective position coaches. They also had a 5 minute period where both Punters were kicking towards the end zone. Both of the punters have big time legs but Powell was more consistent as the kid from OkState shanked a couple of them off the side of his foot. Both McKelving and Graham muffed one of the punts. As for the 7 on 7 work, the defense dialed up the pressure as Dowtin stripped C.J. Spiller on the first carry and caught it out of the air. This most likely would have been taken back for 6 but you never know. In my opinion, Manuel was by far better than Kevin Kolb today. He looked like he had better command of the huddle, he looked like he had the playbook down(besides one busted play), and when he made throws he was by far more consistent with the football. Manuel's only really bad pass of the day was his first one. He threw a pass over the middle which he sailed because he threw off his back foot. Other than that, during the team work portion the Bills quarterback's tended to focus on the short passing game. There were not many balls in team work that went over 15 yards today. The exception was a pretty pass on a wheel route down the sideline that Manuel hooked up with Chris Gragg. Kolb had a rough day. He should have been picked by Da'Norris Searcy but he butterfingered it for an incompletion. A lot of other times either he was not making the right reads, his offensive line was getting blown up, or his WR's were not getting open because a lot of the time he either took off and ran or threw the ball away on numerous occasions today. He also drew an intentional grounding penalty( refs were at the practice). Robert Woods post corner route was a thing of beauty. He shook Brooks not once but twice on the route and even if it was just a post route he would have had Brooks toasted anyways. The long ball that was talked about earlier from E.J. Manuel that was called a TD was actually an incomplete pass. This could fall on Woods I guess but he laid out for it with arms fully stretched and looked like he had it. When he flipped over you saw the ball on his back with one hand on it but the ref in position called it an incomplete pass. Stevie had his typical workmanlike day. Graham was kind of quiet. Rogers made a few catches, but the big day went to Woods and the tight ends. All of the tight ends caught quite a few balls today with the most impressive being Gragg's as talked about earlier. The defense really cranked up the heat tonight. If you watch the Jets defense, that is exactly what your going to get this year. The Bills were sending multiple LB's from many spots. Alonso is quick and athletic as he does have a thin frame though. He would have had a QB sack as well as Marcus Dowtin to go with his strip of Spiller. Aaron Williams continues to be impressive as he just looks overly comfortable at the FS spot compared to CB. Stephon Gilmore was not locking down his man today. He didn't have a bad day but lets just say that receivers were catching passes against him when apparently no one was catching anything yesterday. He was flagged for PI a couple times as well. Mario Williams was not at practice today and Kyle Williams didn't participate during team work as well.
  12. Ryan Otten from San Jose State is the guy I want. Pure pass catching TE
  13. Jones has a Lisfranc Foot injury and the word is he wont even be ready for training camp. That is why he is dropping in the draft. If i'm going to take a G/C prospect, I want Brian Schwenke from Cal
  14. I am in 100% agreement with you on this. I think the Bills are smokescreening. I know its not in their nature and they haven't dont it a lot in the past, but I think them throwing out this much love for Nassib makes me think its false. Everyone, this whole time has thought Nassib to Bills, Bills to Nassib. Wouldn't it make sense that if we really wanted Barkley more after a trade down that we would make people think we would want a different QB than the one we really want. It would make it less likely that another team tries to jump ahead of us for say Barkley
  15. Whether Poyer is falling or not, he's not going round 4. He'll either be a 2nd or early 3rd rounder.
  16. Yea just like the same people who were all bitching about Spiller are the ones so glad that we drafted him now that he is a stud. Your the same people who will knock this guy and then when he turns into a stud either here or elsewhere who will go geez how could we pass on that guy. Do you guys realize how dynamic the Nills offense would be with this guy in the fold slot receiver only or not. It would open things up big time in the passing and the running game because teams can stack the box cause they only are worried about Johnson at WR. Plus, I hate the people's who arguments are he can only play the slot. This isn't 1994, slot WR's are difference makers nowadays. Welker, Amendola, Victor Cruz,Santana Moss, Percy Harvin, Antonio Brown etc etc ...you wouldn't kill to have any of those players in their prime? Now obviously he hasn't reached that level but if his upside is that than he is def worth the 8th pick.
  17. Oh ya he's injured all the time huh....hes missed 4 plays in college. He's not injury prone. Why don't you do some research next time before you give an unsubstantiated opinion. The draft is not about filling needs its about finding the best players for the future of your team.
  18. Yes people will hate this and call it a luxury pick, just like Spiller. Than their opinion will change when he turns into a stud like Spiller. Sometimes you just need to take the BPA instead of forcing need.
  19. He is going to rise because he's the only playmaker that is experienced and close to a sure thing. Yes he's small but in this NFL with all these offensive advantages he makes a ton of sense for a top 15 team.
  20. Uh Austin won't last until 15. He's gonna go to either the Jets at 9, Dolphins at 12,Bucs at 13,or Panthers at 14
  21. Kolb is definetely a bridge to the 2014 Draft. The class in general stinks and 2014 is pretty loaded with good prospects even if Manziel doesn't come out. Kolb will get his one year to prove himself and so will a 3rd or 4th round guy. If they struggle we'll take one in the first round next year no doubt
  22. I would assume that Anderson would play the WOLB spot. I kind of forgot about him. I actually see K.Williams and Dareus flipping now. Dareus would be the NT and Williams and Williams would play the DE's. The LB crew would be Lawson,Sheppard,Bradham, Moats/Anderson.
  23. Bradham will move inside in the 3-4. So your looking at Lawson at SOLB, Sheppard SILB, Bradham WILB, and Moats right now at WOLB.
  24. I'm going to go kind of off the board and say Todd Collins. The question wasn't who was the biggest bust in buffalo history, it was the most disappointing pick. Collins was picked to be the heir apparent to Jim Kelly, and for all intents and purposes had all of the tools to be a success in the NFL. He was supposed to be the guy to keep the dynasty going or at least to keep us a float. Instead he bombed, and we have been mired in mediocre QB play since(excluding one year of Doug Flutie).
  25. I'd rather have Pace....a player who can be a coach on the field and still play some.
