Bills could draft #3 overall

[truth on hold]

I like Te'o too. Could see him being a Zack Thomas-type, only bigger. Zack Thomas in his day would have made a HUGE difference on this defense.

if we get the #3 pick we take the best QB available...

 

DO NOT fall for the Te'o hype... he is a good leader, but not a top 5 caliber player

________________

 

Chiefs will make an effort to get Alex Smith, and then go QB in round 2. That team needs more than just at QB.

Jags will stick with Henne, and make an effort to get Tebow. They will draft defense.

 

If and IF we get the third pick, we can get Geno

 

He's the best MLB prospect to come out in years. I have watched every game he's ever played in college and he is amazing. I don't throw homer praise out either. I called Quinn being a bust and thought Claussen would be marginally better. Te'o will be a pro bowler by year 2

Why Cause he went to USC? Not a supporter or hater but the "he went to this school argument" is terrible.

They are the same, they look good because of the system. Barkley will be a bust like Leinart.

I doubt we get the 3rd pick:

 

Jacksonville 2-12 NE, Tenn (still to play)

 

Kansas City 2-12 Ind, DAL

 

Philadelphia 4-10 Wash, NYG

 

Raiders 4-10 Car, SD

 

Detroit 4-10 Atl, Chi

 

Tenn 5-9 GB, Jax (5-9 if they hold on against Jets tonight)

 

Cleveland 5-9 Den, Pitt

 

San Diego 5-9 NYJ, Raiders

 

Carolina 5-9 Raiders, NO

 

Arizona 5-9 Chi, SF

 

 

 

So, we can't catch Jax or KC

 

Titans: I could see going 1-1 to be 5-11 (losing to GB, beating Jax)

 

Raiders: Could probably go 1-1 or 0-2 against Car and SD to end up 4-12 or 5-11

 

Philly: Could lose 2 against Was and NYG to go 4-12

 

Detroit: Could go 0-2 or 1-1 against Atl and Chi to be 4-12 or 5-11

 

Cleveland: Could lose to both Den and Pitt to go 5-11

 

San Diego: Could go 0-2, 1-1, or 2-0 against Jets and Oak to be 5-11 to 7-9

 

Carolina: Could go 1-1 or 2-0 against Oak and NO and go 6-10

 

Arizona: Could go 0-2 against Chi and SF to go 5-11

 

So, if Bills lose out, most likely scenario would be (if I guessed outcomes accurately) something like:

 

Jax 2-14

KC 2-14

Philly 4-12

Raiders 4-12

Detroit 4-12

Tenn 5-11

Cleve 5-11

Arizona 5-11

Bills 5-11

San Diego 6-10

Carolina 7-9

 

So, my best guess is the Bills will pick between 6 and 9.

Bills have a weak Strength of Schedule, an advantage in the draft. As of today, Bills draft #6, I believe.

[truth on hold]

I thought SoS had us drafting ahead of titans, cards and browns.

With the titans win tonigt, bills currently own the 7 pick, according to WGR

[DefenseWinzChampionshipz]

Well all I know is we will have a top ten pick... I also wanna add that I'll take Barkley if he's available wherever we pick... I know almost everybody hates him on this board but I don't... He's better than Fitz and he hasn't even stepped foot on an NFL field yet... If not QB in 1st round, I would like to go for Matt Moore or McElroy from the Jets or even Chad Henne...

Unfortunately this analysis suggests if we win we will bump ourselves out of the top 10. Which is a scary thought given our needs

How ugly is that final game going to be vs The Jets? Maybe it will snow to make it even more interesting...

It will be gut check time. Guys playing for roster spots next year. Should be a fun game.

AS of now.....Buffalo is #7If they lose 2 games the most realistic position they can make is #5...they can make #3.After next week the order is pretty set because little fluctuation in strength of victory can occur. because of the schedule being you play your division and then two other divisions and 2 positional games...and thy close with all divisional games....it means the only fluctuation will occur with the teams non common games and how they do in their game.1 112 KC 2 12 ind den buf ind2 122 JAX 2 12 ne ten cin oak3 105 OAK 4 10 car sd jax mia4 115 PHL 4 10 was nyg det az5 127 DET 4 10 atl chi phl car6 100 SD 5 9 jets oak ten jets7 110 BUF 5 9 mia jets kc cle8 112 CLE 5 9 den pit ind buf9 114 TEN 5 9 gb jax pit sd10 115 CAR 5 9 oak no chi sea11 125 AZ 5 9 chi sf atl phl

wrong... I have watched his college games, AND high school games... great talent, great leader, amazing story, but not a dominant NFL level player

[dutmost]

if we get the #3 pick we take the best QB available...

There is no QB worth a reach at number 3.. Reaching for picks/needs is what has this team in a hole... You take the best LB/DE available period..Mingo, Jones or Werner FSU... I hate Fitz but the Bills need immediate impact players early in the draft..There are to many holes on defense.. and they still need a Big WR like Allen if all else fails in the 1st round. I won't get my hopes up with Nix that is for sure

Barkley will be a turnover machine in the NFL....That said the Bills will probably draft him.... Whoever they draft at QB will most likely watch the $59 Million Dollar Man work for another season and learn what not to to do... .

 

I'm just tired of watching the Bills waste 1st and 2nd round picks in the draft over the years...This team needs immediate impact on the defense in the 1st 2 or 3 rounds. Best course is try to improve immediately in early rounds on defense (LB's) and maybe get 2 middle/late round qbs if possible...

[BuffaloFan68]

I like your logic rayray

[buffaloaggie]

OK, here's the real SOS of the top 11 teams:

 

1) Kansas City 2-12 (.500)

2) Jacksonville 2-12 (.540)

3) Oakland 4-10 (.455)

4) Philadelphia 4-10 (.513)

5) Detroit 4-10 (.567)

6) San Diego 5-9 (.460)

7) Buffalo 5-9 (.491)

8) Cleveland 5-9 (.500)

9t) Tennessee 5-9 (.513)

9t) Carolina 5-9 (.513)

11) Arizona 5-9 (.558)

Ahead of the Bills, KC, Jax, and Oak all need a QB. Hope the Bills don't force it with a reach QB pick at their spot.

 

They better get this right!!!

[truth on hold]

OK so 3 overall is on the table but unlikely mostly because it would require oakland winning last 2 (assuming relative SoS don't change). Next least likely is eagles winning even 1.

Lions and chargers though I could see winning 1. If bills lose out that puts us 5th.
