Astrobot Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Source 8. BUFFALO: Michael Huff 6-1 205 S/CB Texas 42. BUFFALO: John McCargo 6-2 302 DT North Carolina State 70. BUFFALO(fm TEN): Taitusi Lutui 6-4 334 OG Southern Cal 73. BUFFALO: Charlie Whitehurst 6-5 223 QB Clemson 106. BUFFALO: Jerome Harrison 5-9 201 RB Washington State 143. BUFFALO: Devin Aromashadu 6-2 201 WR Auburn I'd be satisfied with this one. We get Huff, DT and OG help with our first 3 picks. Whitehurst may not be our pick at 73 (Maurice Stovall 6-4 216 WR Notre Dame or Montavious Stanley 6-2 313 DT Louisville are still on the board), and at 106 I'd have taken Spencer Havner 6-3 242 LB UCLA. But if the 1st 3 picks came down like this I'd be ecstatic.

Peter Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Whitehurst at 73 would be a good pick up. I really think that he has potential. He is not NFL game ready yet, but would be a worthwhile QB to develop.
JimBob2232 Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 I like that draft alot. Huff fills a need position, not OL or DL, but a need none-the-less, McCargo I like ALOT. Might not last to us, but if he does, sweet...and whitehurst is a good 3rd string QB for now, who in 2-3 years takes over for KH and challanges JP (if he is still here). All in all, I would be very happy with that draft
Astrobot Posted April 1, 2006 Author Posted April 1, 2006 The second draft, where we trade down and acquire 2 DT's, a OG, OT, and a S, is almost too good to be true. Yet when I look at the other names, I can't see the draft being "fixed" for a particular team. I'd be very happy with either scenario, and makes me feel better about a trade-down scenario going our way.

Bills (MIN) – Hank Baskett – WR – New Mexico Wow, I love that second draft, you missed that we still have pick 73 and they have us taking Chris Chester (Center) of OU. I would much rather have McCargo (taken the pick before in that mock) then Dvoraceck with the fourth rounder. Not sure if he'll be there though. Just goes to show you how uncertain some players' stocks are right now. One mock has McCargo as our second rounder while the other has him as the last pick of the third round. Gotta love that Hank Baskett pick too...that guy is a beast!

Astro 649525[/snapback] Heeeeeeeey, that guy stole my draft! Or at least a good deal of it I'd be very happy with that draft, aside from the Jason Allen pick. He's a damn good player, but I'm a little weary of his past injury problems. Still though, I wouldnt complain too much if thats how the draft laid itself out. Write it down, Hank Baskett is going to be a STEAL in this draft. I doubt ever a big-time #1 playmaker, but I do think he's going to eventually be a solid, possession #2 WR in the NFL.

BuffaloBilliever Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 I forgot about Stovall... that'd be a HUGE pick up if Jauron could smack his big ass around a bit...

Substitute another OG,OT instead of Whitehurst and you're doing well. Those 1st 3 guys would be instant starters. We could wave goodbye to the 57 year old Vincent, if Huff is selected.

As it addresses needs, gives us quality depth and is pretty realistic. I know from posting at KFFL that the guy hosting the mock is a Bills fand and might be why things seem to going in our favor but still be very happy if things follow to this plan.
Albany,n.y. Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 We're not drafting a QB & we're not trading JP. If you still think we are trading JP, Gaughan's column today is a must read-too many cap $ with no viable return. Now, we have 5 guys in camp counting the 2 in Europe. Where would the reps for a rookie QB come from. Any draft discussion that includes the Bills taking a QB is ridiculous. 99.99% of mock drafts make a mockery of the draft.

Those 1st 3 guys would be instant starters. We could wave goodbye to the 57 year old Vincent, if Huff is selected. 650000[/snapback] I aggree with you that we pass on Whitehurst. Right now their is a logjam of unproven players at QB. Right now it is unlikely that Nall, Holcomb and JP will all fail this year. However, if we simply declare on these players a failure by replacing him with Whitehurst, we not only add a significant (to huge) financial cost to drafting Whitehurst, It also heighten the possibility that we may even be forced to play Whitehurst if one of the two surviving QBs fails and the other is hurt. The only way the Bills draft Whitehurst if they choose to do something which makes little football sense. In addition, the selection of Huff probably means nothing in terms of Vincent's status. TV is first on our depth chart at FS, Huff if drafted better step in immediately if he can at starting SS where we chopped Milloy. If anybidy's job is in danger from us drafting Huff it would be Coy Wire who has already failed at the starting SS job and has shown little sign of developing into a quality starter as a pro at a safety position he has never played at any level of organized ball. If anything, the drafting of Huff enhances the value of Vincent to this team as there are few other players in the NFL between his DB Pro Bowl appearances, 10+ years, his position as the player voted leader of the NFLPA, and his leadership in working toward an MBA at an Ivy League school in the off-season (apparently TKO has joined him in these endeavors). It seems you have totally the wrong read on the impact of Huff coming to th Bills on TV.

D_House Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 That the second mock looks fantastic, and is exactly what I would like the Bills to do, position-wise. I don't really know much about the players involved, but I have heard good things about Scott, the T from Texas, and I think he may not be there at 70. And I think another need that hasn't been talked about much on here besides the O-line and DT is depth at HB. I definitely see the Bills spending a day one pick on a bigger back that can take some of the load off of WM and potentially start if injuries necessitate it. I am not confident in a backfield of Burns and Williams to carry the load if Willis is injured. I don't know anything about this Calhoun, but I like the RB pick after addressing the lines and S. Lastly, I do not want to see the Bills take a day one QB unless they trade down and Young is still on the board, and even then only if they make every attempt to trade the pick away.
