Bills Are On The Clock

[Orton's Arm]

Sweed @ 17 looks good.

I agree completely. I have the feeling that most of the people who voted for Astrobot to trade down had been under the impression he was still at #11, not #17.

 

@Astrobot: why do you plan to use a 3rd round pick on an OG, rather than on a center?

[KOKBILLS]

Thomas went at #15.

And yes, I realize that if I hadn't traded down with the Vikes, I would have been able to take Thomas at #11.

And I think Modrak's thinking the same thing.

 

But I got an extra 3rd Rounder.

 

OK Astro...Thanks for answering...

 

In that scenario I would be thrilled with Sweed and an extra 3rd...

 

Very nice...

Astro, why does Drafttek still have Chris Long going 1 when the Dolphins have already started contract negotiations with Jake Long? That pick would have a major impact on the rest of the top 15

Pollack is the only guy better than Fowler, and he won't be there past RD2, #42. With the DT's in our division, we need a big, smart Center with the ability to keep the middle solid. Justice and Sullivan don't fit that mold, and Legursky-Lichtensteiger-Jamey Richard will be 5th-6th Round picks. Fernando Velasco, the big OC from Georgia, might be a good pick in RD7.

Miami guy made a slip of the tongue yesterday (or the day before) that their pick would be a mainstay on the defensive front for a long time. Hopefully this will clear up in a couple days!

That makes sense. If the Bills were to acquire an additional second round pick, do you think it would be worthwhile to take Pollack?

i still want malcom kelly.i think he will be a pretty decent wide receiver.go bills!

Pollack and Velasco are the two OC's I'm sold on. If I had to pick a 3rd, it'd be Jamie Richard from Buffalo. Velasco and Richard are probably 7th Rounders, and Pollack would be third on my short list at Round 2:

 

Round 2 #42

1-----Martellus Bennett TE - Tx A&M 259 above avg blk 12ypc

2-----Trevor Laws DT - Notre Dame

3-----Mike Pollak OC -Arizona State (G and C)

4-----Reggie Smith CB- Okla 4.4, safety exper, KR,PR

5-----Justin King CB-Penn St 4.3 avg tkl, shoulder

Trade down and draft Quentin Groves

 

i like that idea most, maybe somehow dallas wants someone at 11 and we can get 22 and 28

In that case, using a 2nd round pick on him is an interesting option. The Bills could trade down in round 1; receiving either a 2nd or 3rd round pick for doing so. If it's a 3rd, they could trade their two 3rds for a 2nd. Then with their 1st round pick, they'd take Limas Sweed. Their two 2nds would be spent on Bennett (TE) and Pollack ©. Owen Schmitt would be taken in round 4. A draft like that could easily provide real answers to each of the offense's major problems.
