BillsD#1in2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Trade down to the 18th pick with the Texans so they can get OT Chris Williams from Vanderbilt as he is what they are looking for as a left tackle in return we recieve their 3rd rounder: 1(18. from Texans)Devin Thomas WR Michigan State(best all around WR who has the size we want at 6'2 he is very physical and can go up and get it) 2.Martellus Bennet TE Texas A&M(best all around TE in the draft and would be a perfect fit for our offense) 3.Mike Pollak C Arizona State(likely the best center in the draft and he will be available here,will challenge Melvin for the starting job) 3.Chevis Jackson CB LSU(a good physical corner who will fit our scheme good,has good route recognition and good ball skills) 4.Antwaun Molden CB Eastern Kentucky(a guy who shows great promise and is physical and can re route recievers,good in run support,just has to get over the competition hump,but he will) 4.Owen Schmitt FB West Virginia(physical blocker who is just a blue collar workaholic and he will be a nice fit in Buffalo where us fans will love him) 5.Kelien Dykes DT West Virginia(is a very underrated DT who is strong and can anchor the line,he is pretty quick and he will fit nice in our scheme,will blossom under Strouds wing) 6. Dorian Smith DE Oregon State(was a pass rush specialist for the Beavers in his junior year where he had 9 sacks and then dropped to 6 sacks when he was a full time starter,but he gets good pressure in the backfield as he had 22 tackles for loss in his 2 year stint at OSU and he will be a great asset for our team as a pass rush specialist) 7.Jameel McClain DE/LB Syracuse(a very tough hardnose player who is smart,versatile,and has a winning mentality....he also loves to play special teams and i believe he would fit in and fill Josh Stamers role...here check out his video http://www.onnetworks.com/videos/draftguys...el-mcclain---lb ) 7.Marcus Henry WR Kansas(he had an amazing senior season with 10 TD catches and over 1,000 recieving yards, he has great hands,is huge at 6'4 207 and is good at route running, he will be a steal and an instant red zone target....check out this video http://www.onnetworks.com/videos/draftguys...rcus-henry---wr ) 7.Brandon Breazell WR UCLA(a burner who will take the beating off McGee and let McGee stay at corner for most time,Breazell will be a good kick returner and will let McGee focus on becoming a better CB,Breazell could surprise on some passing plays with his speed) ok how does this draft sound to you,pretty good to me ! GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stroud for Pro Bowl 2008
BeastMode54 Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Until Devin Thomas went to the combine, where was he projected to go? He did have an outstanding year this past year, but he has no track record. I'd feel a lot better with Limas Sweed

GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stroud for Pro Bowl 2008 Put Trevor Scott DE from the Bulls in the 6-7 round and were go to go.
Astrobot Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Put Trevor Scott DE from the Bulls in the 6-7 round and were go to go. Like it. The Texas trade down makes sense. If they stay where they are, the Texans don't have a choice; they get the leftovers from the Top 3-4 OT's, and OT is a high priority with them. Agree that we'd want a different DE in RD 6-7. How about Rudolph Hardie or Chase Ortiz? Hardie is from Howard, 270 pounds, runs a 4.7 and his bench presses were obscene. Had 25 tackles for loss. Chase Ortiz is from TCU, is leaner and quicker than most DE's is a hustler with strong character up the waz.
Brandon Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Until Devin Thomas went to the combine, where was he projected to go? He did have an outstanding year this past year, but he has no track record. I'd feel a lot better with Limas Sweed The draftniks were probably still scrambling to figure out what Thomas's value actually was at the time. I don't think its necessarily a case of a guy flying up draft boards because of a postseason workout. His value may have been artificially low because of a lack of information.

This is just what I don't want to see on draft day: Rivers to New England @ 7 would really suck. The caveat every mock mentions first in regard to No. 7 New England is the potential for the Patriots to trade down out of this slot, and that scenario remains a strong possibility. But if the Patriots do stick, Rivers is a rising prospect to keep an eye on. New England asks its linebackers to be able to handle both inside and outside roles in the 3-4, and the Pats feel Rivers can do that. The fly in this ointment is that New England has never drafted a linebacker on the first day in the Bill Belichick era, and if that form holds, look for the Patriots to take the best available defensive lineman (USC tackle Sedrick Ellis) or offensive lineman (Clady or Virginia guard Branden Albert).

Jerry Jones of Dallas said he'd only consider trading down in the draft for McFadden if he fell to 11th. I think a lot of teams don't like drafting in the top ten due to the cost vs. potential bust problem. If what Jones would do is the same thing most teams teams would do for a guy they covet then Buffalo could be in the perfect position to swing a trade. (In my best Butthead) "Heh, heh, that'd be cool!" There's about a 10% chance of McFadden dropping to the 11th pick but it would be so cool if it did! The Bills could take a team to the cleaners because I think the Cowpies wouldn't be the only one's interested in trading.
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 I think it's more likely the Texans trade up to 11 with us for Mendenhall, if he's still there.
BillsD#1in2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Posted April 12, 2008 it would be good if the Pats drafted rivers because that gives us a better shot of having Mckelvin or DRC falling into our laps at 11 and hopefully its Mckelvin because he is good a returning kicks but idc as long as we get a good CB and a good LEGIT #2 reciever out of the draft i will be happy! Can't wait to discuss the draft picks with you boys only 2 more weeks ahhh the agony! GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stroud for Pro Bowl 2008
BillsD#1in2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Posted April 12, 2008 people are saying maybe draft CB Reggie Smith Oklahoma in the 2nd round i mean he is big and physical but he clocked a 4.6, is anyone worried about his speed in coverage? just a thought that came across my mind

No offense, but who cares? Seriously. They're going to get an outstanding prospect at #7, regardless. It's pick you're poison so why worry?
BillsD#1in2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Posted April 12, 2008 im thinking about maybe us drafting Gary Guyton LB Georgia Tech posted almost best numbers in every category for a LB at the combine and he is versatile and had an amazing senior season,we could draft him in the 5th as that is where he is projected to land! GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stroud for Pro Bowl 2008
boomerjamhead Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 No offense, but who cares? Seriously. They're going to get an outstanding prospect at #7, regardless. It's pick you're poison so why worry? No offense taken, but I just don't want to see that kid play for New England. You're right that they are getting a stud at #7 regardless, I just don't want that stud to be Keith Rivers because he will make an immediate impact as a rookie (Willis, Poz for example). Barring injury of course, I would love to re-visit this conversation in January.

Barring injury of course, I would love to re-visit this conversation in January. You may be right, but I'd be no happier to see them get Gholston, for example. At some point, they're going to have to address their aging LB situation. You can count on that front office bringing in "an immediate impact as a rookie" @ #7 regardless of whether or not it's Rivers. Again, pick your poison. They definitely suffer from an embarrassment of riches. Nice problem to have.
