tonyd19 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 OK with all the draft topics up, I decided to do not a typical mock, but a worst case scenario Bills mock (in my opinion) Basically seeing if every player we have coveted is gone by 10, who would the Bills Choose? Worst Case Mock 10 1) Andrew Luck 2) RGIII 3) Matt Kalil 4) Justin Blackmon 5) Morris Claiborne 6) Stephon Gilmore 7) Luck Kueckly 8) Mark Barron 9) Michael Floyd 10) ??? In this case, (not probable but possible) Who would we go with....probably not Tannenhill, Cox or Richardson...My guess is Kirkpatrick or Glenn...Just thought I would get the consensus from the board on this.

DanInUticaTampa Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 In that case, best to trade down. Someone will really want tanahill or cox or Richardson. No way does one of the top 4 players fall to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cincinnati Kid Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 We trade out like its on fire! RUN!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInUticaTampa Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Richardson and cox would light up the phones way more than gilmore and barron would, that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir andrew Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Honestly, I would love if this happens. Trade back for someone who wants tananhill and hopefully Reiff is still there at the pick we traded for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I don't see Tannenhill lasting past 8 and I think its unlikely Kueckly goes to 7 Jacksonville has a lot of money invested in Poz and isn't hard up for LB's and its unlikely that Floyd goes to Carolina either (Although its possible). If this were the scenario you would have a lot of trade down partners for Tannenhill, but if not Reiff or Cox would both be solid picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Honestly, I would love if this happens. Trade back for someone who wants tananhill and hopefully Reiff is still there at the pick we traded for. I am not sold on Reiff. He is a guard. I want to stop the Dick Jauron experiment of getting out-of-position players and pushing them to play that spot. Remember what it could have been if Wood had played Center from his rookie season. I would rather have Martin play his natural position. Defense wins championships. We need a strong defense to stop Brady. We need a great defense to shut down the big running backs. My vote would be to strengthen our LB position. That is our weakest link right now in an otherwise solid defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmac Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Definitely try to trade in this scenario. If not, and these are our choices, my vte would be for Kirkpatrick, just to shore up our secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yea, to be honest, given the Bills' needs I do not see a "worst case scenario". To me, the only players that we know with certainty that will be drafted ahead of the Bills are Luck, RG III, Claiborne and Richardson (I do not see Cleveland, Tampa Bay and St. Louis all passing on him.) That leaves 5 more guys to come off before Buffalo picks. I have no idea how the next 6 would be rated, but lets just say the next 11 are: Kalil Blackmon Kuechly Gilmore Barron Floyd Tannehill Cox Ingram Coples Glenn I know opinions here differ wildly on the pros and cons of each of these guys, but regardless -- assuming none of the top 9 teams do anything crazy (well, top 7 since we already know about Indy and Washington) -- the Bills will be able to choose from 1 of 6 of these remaining picks. That could very well give them the ammunition and flexibility to trade down. In fact, if I were Buddy I would even take an "under market" deal with either the Cowboys or Chargers for that very reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you were thinking of Cordy Glenn? Even then, he started 18 games at LT in college, including every game his senior year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) It's a BS scenario because there's NO WAY Richardson gets by Tampa, but it would actually be a best case for Buffalo in a trade out scenario. Edited April 25, 2012 by JPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Rieff played LT in college, not G. I don't think the Jauron Principle applies here. Maybe you were thinking of Cordy Glenn? Even then, he started 18 games at LT in college, including every game his senior year. Yeah, but he has short arms and there is talk of that he won't be able to handle LT in the NFL. Every time I hear Buddy talk about him it's not positive. My guess is the Bills stay away from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyd19 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 I know its not a very likely outcome, just was curious if the top two wide receivers, the top two corners, the safety and linebacker we appear to like and the top left tackle are already off the board, what then. Here is another scenario, lets assume that Buddy cannot get a trade he likes, or simply does not want to trade the pick. My thought process is do we get the second or third best player at their position (according to the previous pick) or do we truly go bpa, maybe Richardson? What a cluttered backfield in this case. I do not think it is shaking out this way, but I am sure the Bills have thought of some scenario like this and what they would have to do if there is a run on the positional players we are looking at.
