Peter Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Here is Mike Mayock's Mock Draft hot off the press. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000347465/article/johnny-manziel-absent-from-first-15-picks-in-mayock-mock
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 4 olinemen and 0 QBs in the top 10? Seems unlikely.
Beerball Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 4 olinemen and 0 QBs in the top 10? Seems unlikely. It all hinges on the QBs. If they sit, the Bills hurt. The way Mayock has things playing out I'm happy with Martin. (I'd prefer a play maker, but am not sold on Ebron) They can go WR or TE in round 2.
C.Biscuit97 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Just one guy's opinion. I do like the versatility but man a RT at 9 is so disappointing. I get it I guess but what a terrible draft party haha.
Deranged Rhino Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Kelly's previous post on Martin seems especially apropos now...
RyanC883 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 It all hinges on the QBs. If they sit, the Bills hurt. The way Mayock has things playing out I'm happy with Martin. (I'd prefer a play maker, but am not sold on Ebron) They can go WR or TE in round 2. I agree. I'd much rather have Martin and TE Jenkins in round 2. Just one guy's opinion. I do like the versatility but man a RT at 9 is so disappointing. I get it I guess but what a terrible draft party haha. of course, we would all rather prefer Watkins. A. Donald would be an exciting pick.
chris heff Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 It all hinges on the QBs. If they sit, the Bills hurt. The way Mayock has things playing out I'm happy with Martin. (I'd prefer a play maker, but am not sold on Ebron) They can go WR or TE in round 2. If the QBs fall, trade back a few and still get Martin, get WR and TE or LB in second. Somebody is going to want one of those QBs.
Bronc24 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Would he make our team better? Yes. Would he probably be around for 10 years? Yes (hopefully). I know we all want to make a "splash", but this pick would make our team better.
thewildrabbit Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I doubt Manziel makes it past Cleveland at #4 Plus, I don't see the bills going OT at #9 or Ebron. I think they go defense.
Peter Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 I am one of those guys that would not mind picking a tackle with the 9th pick. I am just a bit troubled about taking the fourth best tackle (according to most) with the 9th pick in the draft. Just our luck. I do see value with having a great tackle -- I just have my doubts that Martin is that guy. I posted in another thread that it appears that the Bills have been using the media to get us ready for the Bills taking Martin. I just hope that, if we do pick him, he ends up being a standout. Whether EJ is our QB or someone else, having a great offensive line will help. Martin seems like he is pretty good -- just not elite. Again, just our luck.
John from Riverside Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Give me a guy that can form a real pocket opposite Glenn any day...... Im a Mathews guy......but I dont hate this

The Wiz Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) It all hinges on the QBs. If they sit, the Bills hurt. The way Mayock has things playing out I'm happy with Martin. (I'd prefer a play maker, but am not sold on Ebron) They can go WR or TE in round 2. Probably the most accurate statement about this draft. I can see Manziel going to the Browns or Raiders (Raiders unlikely but they are putting all their eggs in on Schaub). I actually heard Schoop say something on the radio that I 100% agree with today. Basically said that if Manuel is they guy they are going to commit to then why not sell the farm to trade up and get an elite player in the top 5 to show everyone they are sticking to their guns even if it costs next years 1st rounder. It would be a hell of a move by Whaley but if EJ works out and we can get an elite player at the same time it would be huge. Yes I know, IF. Edited May 7, 2014 by The Wiz
zazie Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Nah. This draft will be hard to mess up! We have a lot of options that should help the squad. Hard to mess up several drafts with sure fire picks... that the Bills have messed up with impunity. think Whitner over Ngata. HARD to mess that up. But we did. Probably the most accurate statement about this draft. I can see Manziel going to the Browns or Raiders (Raiders unlikely but they are putting all their eggs in on Schaub). I actually heard Schoop say something on the radio that I 100% agree with today.

It would be a hell of a move by Whaley but if EJ works out and we can get an elite player at the same time it would be huge. Yes I know, IF. the reason I hate this plan so much is that it will make next seasons off-season, likely to start as usual in November, even more interminable. We need a 1st rounder to keep something interesting in the hopper.
YoloinOhio Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Last year's Mayock Mock: ILoveFootball #Bills @Jiillyy May 1 Mike Mayocks 2013 mock draft...ya just dont know http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2013/4/25/4264138/2013-nfl-mock-draft-mike-mayock-makes-his-picks …
Max997 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) There has to be a way for Mathews to be there at 9 because although I don't dislike Martin I hv a big problem taking him at 9 and if it happens I won't even watch the rest of the draft Drafting Martin would clearly be the Bills drafting for need Edited May 8, 2014 by Max997
K-9 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 4 olinemen and 0 QBs in the top 10? Seems unlikely. Really. I mean that hasn't happened since, oh, last year. GO BILLS!!!

We need a 1st rounder to keep something interesting in the hopper. So the difference between 363 days and 364 days really does that much for you? Or is it the following 363 days that is the issue?

Max997 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Really. I mean that hasn't happened since, oh, last year. GO BILLS!!! I think he means unlikely because of the QBs in this draft which was supposed to be a QB heavy draft especially at the top Edited May 8, 2014 by Max997
Section242 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Just one guy's opinion. I do like the versatility but man a RT at 9 is so disappointing. I get it I guess but what a terrible draft party haha. The Browns taking a RT at 4 trumps the Bills taking one at 9. I get the idea of Matthews at 9. Martin would be such a disappointing pick.
