Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 LINK 1 (11) Everette Brown DE, Florida State IMO, he will become the most complete DE in the '09 class. Immediate impact off the edge next season, though. 1 (28) Brandon Pettigrew TE, Oklahoma State We get the franchise tight end we want and have needed for a decade +. 2 (42) Max Unger C, Oregon My favorite center of the class. Nasty, smart, and is a great athlete. 3 (75) Tyrone McKenzie OLB, South Florida An intriguing OLB prospect with good size that no one talks about. Set the Bulls single-season tackle record in '07. 4 (110) Ricky Jean-Francois DT, LSU Probably my favorite pick of this mock because of the potential value. If he gets his head on straight, this is a big time steal in the 4th round. 4 (121) Xavier Fulton OT, Illinois Good move to get depth behind Chambers and Bell if neither of them end up being able to fill the RT role. 5 (147) Courtney Greene SS, Rutgers LOVE this pick as well. Good size, speed, and character. First team All-Big East last year. Could develop into a game-changer if he sures up his tackling a bit and continues to improve his ball skills. 6 (183) Cecil Newton C, Tennessee State I must admit I don't know much about this guy or the choice here. Especially considering they had us taking Unger in the second round. Bit of a head scratcher. 7 (220) Nick Reed ILB, Oregon First team All-American with 13 sacks last season in the final round of the draft? Sounds good to me.
DrDawkinstein Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 if those were really our picks through round 4, I couldnt imagine the draft working out better.
dave mcbride Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Awesome draft - addresses DE, LB, C/G, TE, and DT. Something tells me it won't happen, however.
DrDawkinstein Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 No cornerbacks? Never happen. its funny cause its true

DanInUticaTampa Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 so we can have two players named xavier? it is becoming a more popular name *this would be a good draft if we had a G and LT. but since we dont, they need to be in the draft somewhere
Boom Jam Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 No cornerbacks? Never happen. They'll take William Moore @ 42...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Love the Ricky Jean-Francois pick in round four as well. If he gets his head on, then you would have potentially two Dlineman that stand to be very good. Ricky was the defensive MVP of the Natl Championship Game a couple years ago. He can be a game changer, if he gets his head on straight and plays motivated. Would love him working next to Stroud, and haveing Stroud mentor him. Like the first four rounds as well. We can hope it turns out this way.
Chandler#81 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 This simlulation is stimulating but not likely, IMO. Both Brown and Pettigrew appear to be the best at their position, so getting both in 28 picks seems remote. Pick our poison there. As for Mack, I HOPE he's still there with our Rd.2 and 42nd overall. I'd love to believe this as it would seem a dream come true. Therefore, my 'Buffalo Doomshield' is in full lockdown.

Sounds good to me. 1) I would prefer Orakpo to Brown, far and away. Orakpo is faster, bigger, and played against tougher competition. 2) There is zero chance of Pettigrew falling to #28, so don't get your hopes up. 3) No idea who that OLB is, but there should still be decent OT's there for pickup.
dollars 2 donuts Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 if those were really our picks through round 4, I couldnt imagine the draft working out better. Yeah, very true. Regardless of whether you get your favorites or not if someone handed that to you as Bills fan you'd just have to shake your head and say, "damn, looks good."
NewEra Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 if those were really our picks through round 4, I couldnt imagine the draft working out better.
AlbanyBill Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 It doesn't look that bad but I would rather take an OT before round 4 and I don't think we need to use one of our first round picks on TE
San-O Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 No cornerbacks? Never happen. Exactly. Also, the Bills have only taken 3 O-linemen in rounds 1 - 4 in the past ten (10) years, if draft history means anything. That would be a nice draft 1 -4 anyhow.
DasNootz Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 They also have Detroit taking Curry with the #1.
In space no one can hear Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 If we want Pettigrew we have to take him with our first pick. I'm a big Everette Brown fan, but the latest word is (can be b.s.) is that 3-4 teams don't think he will be able to transition to linebacker in the 3-4. Thus, the slew of teams that have transitioned to 3-4 defenses will probably not take him. His best fit is as a 4-3 end for teams running the Tampa Bay D or a variation of it. That leaves very few teams. (Bears, Colts(a variation) anyone else? Thus, I think Brown has a better chance of being there at 28 than Pettigrew does.
