Astrobot Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 My Mock 2.0: My goal is more coverage sacks, more pressure up the middle, and weapons for the offense. I'm taking 2 FA QB's but expect a 2-year plan, taking my franchise QB in 2014.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I like it. not a fan of John Jenkins, love the size but doesn't clog up the middle like he should. Rather have Brandon Williams from Missouri Southern, kid is a stud and can rush the passer from the inside.
Coach Tuesday Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Milner is worse than Gilmore and we'd be picking him higher up. In addition, last year we picked Gilmore.
papazoid Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 i think milliner is a real possibility...... pettine's attack style defense is predicated on two very good corners.
1B4IDie Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) If the Bills took Millner I am really really really going to lose it. I mean it this time. They might as well take Leon Sandcastle Edited February 20, 2013 by Why So Serious?
Hotpockets28 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 YESS!!!!!! Leon Sandcastle will take us over top!!!!!!!!! ChAmPiOnShIp!

Maybe we should even trade up to get Milliner if need be. We must leave no stone unturned to continue wasting resources and to lose football games.
Green Lightning Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Not drafting a QB huh? Let's see.... who can we trade for Skelton?
jcbillsfan Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) couple of things i think rhodes is a pettine cb not milner, love the bama te in the 5th the duke qb is a big time sleeper imo he gets drafted 4-6 rounds Edited February 20, 2013 by jcbillsfan
Coach Tuesday Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Great idea. Maybe we should even trade up to get Milliner if need be.

Dibs Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I'm doubtful that we will draft a CB this year. Ryan/Pettine nearly spent their entire first draft(2009) focusing on QB(Sanchez) Marrone is an Offensive minded HC.....so I'm thinking they'll go after the QB they want(if there is one). Don't get your hopes up from that though as Ryan/Pettine seem totally enamoured with CBs. Having already a Star CB in Revis, in 2010 they traded for Cromartie(2011 2nd round pick).....AND used their 1st round pick(29) on Wilson. I'm hoping Gilmore becomes very good.....and we re-sign McKelvin & he becomes very solid. If those things don't happen we could be seeing several more 1st round CBs in our 2014-2016 drafts......and likely see one regardless.
JPS Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 If this is sarcasm, it's not funny. If it's serious, it's the worst mock draft I've seen this year. I would think you A. Get a QB, and B. Build the rest from front to back and inside out.
boyst Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I could see this playing out. CB is a need. It sucks but it is. LB more easily addressed without FA. And QB we are going to be left short in 2013 either way the story goes.
SRivRoc Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Not drafting a QB huh? Let's see.... who can we trade for Skelton? Mario Williams?
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 couple of things i thing rhodes is a pettine cb not milner, love the bama te in the 5th the duke qb is a big time sleeper imo he gets drafted 4-6 rounds I have thought a lot about this. Milliner played a lot of cover 2 in college, and it remains to be seen how he handles more man-to-man responsibility. He has the size and physicality, but does he have the technique? Rhodes on the other hand has proven to excell in man coverage...shutting down ND's Michael Floyd in 2011, and fairing pretty well against Clemson's arsenal of WR's this year. FWIW...many draft prospects have Desmond Trufant as the #2 CB. Given the option between the three, picking at #8, I would take Milliner without hesitation. I still would prefer, however, taking either the best offensive lineman or the best pass rusher available with our 1st round pick.
KOKBILLS Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Astro I appreciate all your effort...But Bro...Putting up a Bills Mock that does not have a QB taken in the 1st 3 rounds is completely ignoring some glaring reality...They will take a QB by no later than the 3rd, and chances are they'll take one with their 1st pick (I'm not saying that pick will necessarily be at #8 though)... Also...Milliner will go in the Top 7...He's clearly the #1 CB prospect, and that means something in almost any Draft...If Joe Haden can go #7 overall you better believe that Milliner will do the same or better... Keep up the work though Astro!!!
JPS Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I could see this playing out. CB is a need. It sucks but it is. LB more easily addressed without FA. And QB we are going to be left short in 2013 either way the story goes. If you don't have a QB and can't stop the run, only the worst GMs would draft a CB. That's softball fellas. And FWIW, I think the kid Rhodes from Florida State looks better than Milliner.
Wagon Circler Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 If the Bills don't take a QB in the first three rounds, I will have to consider whether Mike Pettine is really enough of a reason to watch this year.
