Curse Of Rusty Jones Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 http://www.drafttek.com/2013-nfl-mock-draft-round1.asp 1st round: 13. Buffalo: Manti Te'o ILB Notre Dame: Bills play often in Nickel with Barnett (age 32) and Bryan Scott (age 31), who are among the 4 oldest Bills on the team. The Bills need a 3-down, run-stuffing LB because Scott is a liability against the run. We'll continue to see runs up the gut as long as we have a retrofitted CB in the middle. We need the star LB from one of the FBS's great run-stuffing teams, someone who led that team with 128, 133, and 157 tackles in the last 3 years, and is nominated this year for the Lombardi Award (as did Notre Dame and revered Bills DE, Walt Patulski). As long as we're customizing our pick, let's make sure he's also an Eagle Scout, volunteers for Special Olympics, and leads the FBS in INT's this year. Have him be a family man who has 30 family members attend his Senior Day game. Finally, make sure he's not a prima donna who leaves his gaps to make plays that aren't his to make. That's Manti Te'O. Now if he were only from NY and not Hawaii . . . -- Dean Kindig, Bills DraftTek Analyst http://www.drafttek.com/2013-NFL-Mock-Draft-Round2.asp 2nd round: 44. Buffalo: Landry Jones QB Oklahoma: Landry's resuscitation as a Top Five QB might have begun with his 63 points against Texas, where his 4 TD's looked far better than his earlier erratic performances. He trumped that output against K-State in a losing effort, five TD's and 505 yards. Most recently, Landry's 6 TD's and an OU-record 554 yards in a comeback victory against WVU, one stolen from Geno and the Morgantowners, will make Channix swoon, especially at pick #45. Even more delectable is Jones' ability to run the no-huddle; in many games you'll notice the lack of a cheat sheet on a wristband. Named for Tom Landry, this accurate passer (63%-67% for 3 years) will be the Big 12 conference's all-time leader in passing yards, the winningest quarterback in school history, and one of only three QB's in FBS history with 3,000 passing yards in four different seasons. --Dean Kindig, Bills DraftTek Analyst If this ever happened, I would literally cry with joy.

Virgil Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 This is not going to happen or shouldn't happen on three points: 1 - We are not going to pick that low. We are picking top 1 2 - No way we get Te'o that late in the first round. He will be a top 5 pick. Unless we pick 3 or 4, it's not happening 3 - Landry Jones, no thank you. Guy is Fitz 1.1 Quote

Guy is Fitz 1.1 I agree we will pick higher then 13 which can increase the odds on Te'o making it to Buffalo... Landry Jones Fitz 1.1? He has good size, arm strength, would fit Chan's offense, he would do wonders for the passing game, and give them an actual vertical passing attack Quote
Maury Ballstein Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 I saw another mock that had Teo to Cleveland at #3 Quote

KD in CA Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 The Bills will draft somewhere in the #7- #12 area after finishing with the usual 6-10. I think T'eo will be gone before then. Quote
jcbillsfan Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Landry jones is nothing like fitz. He can throw the ball twenty yards. Quote
DrDawkinstein Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Landry Jones in the 2nd Round would be exceptional value and worth the chance regardless of how he turns out. Quote
