TigerJ Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Wherever I'm posting at this time of year, I may be incline to bring to the attention of other Bills fans a mock draft that shows particular ignorance of the Bills perspective in is choices. There haven't been many, but I think I found one that qualifies. The website is https://www.draftsite.com/nfl/mock-draft/2018/ They specialize in mocking the full seven rounds. Buffalo is projected to take at #12 (drum roll) Derwin James, safety out of Florida State. I suppose you could resort to the BPA argument here, but safety? The Bills had one of the top safety tandems in the league last season and just signed some experienced depth in Raphael Bush. The four top QBs are gone in this mock, so I can't very well blame him for not taking a QB. Da'Ron Payne is still on the board in this mock (and actually goes at #13 to Washington. I think he would be a solid pick in view of 2018 likely being Kyle Williams' last season. That would be a good and deep interior for the D-line and McDermott likes to play his DTs in waves. Courtland Sutton, one of the top receivers is still on the board, as is Vita Vea. Maybe the best pick of all here under the circumstances would be Tremaine Edmunds, who doesn't go off the board in this mock until #18 With the #22 pick, this mock has Buffalo taking Mike McGlinchey at tackle. That can be argued as an upgrade to Jordan Mills. My own preference would be for the Bills to take Lamar Jackson, who is still on the board. Nowhere in the entire draft does this mock drafter project a QB to the Bills. He does have them take two DTs and an additional offensive tackle a center, WR, and CB. The safety at #12 is what really stick in my craw though. Interestingly, this mock also has the Jets picking Bradley Chubb at #3 and the Colts picking a QB at #6. Really? I think that's kind of crazy. If the top five picks of the draft actually fell this way, as unlikely as it seems, maybe Buffalo could trade for the #6 pick with the Colts and get Josh Allen, the QB this mock drafter has going to the Colts. In any case, it is one of the stranger mock drafts I've seen this year. Edited March 19, 2018 by TigerJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol Dirty B Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I don't think it's just the lack of Bills perspective... They have the Jets taking Chubbs at 3 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm OK with most mocks as they just represent different opinions. It's just a very few that really seem off the wall. I can't see any justification for someone doing a 7 round mock draft and not having the Bills go for a QB this year of all years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Derwin James is great value at 12, and no doubt he could help us- but we have more urgent needs-QB and LB in particular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They traded up to 3 for something other than a QB, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Billieve Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I think anyone who had Allen going 1 should be mocked for at least the next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfod Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'm just curious but has anybody ever had a lot of hits in a mock draft? I see them around but really only interested to see mocks by people who actually are good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Maybe I’m crazy, but if they don’t select a qb at 12, I’d absolutley love to have James. He can play the slot, cover any postion and can tackle in the box. I believe he could play nickel Lb. McD would love to have a guy like him.
