Armchair GM Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Remember, I'm an "Armchair" gm, and this is strictly my personal rendition of the 2009 buffalo Bills Draft. Round 1: #11 traded to late teens, early twenties... pick 1a. Brandon Pettigrew, TE. I've been on a roller cater with this kid, but the tale of the tape is that he is the best all around TE in the draft. pick #28; Connor Barwin, DE. Stock raised considerably after the super performance at the combine. This kid is a physical specimen with a tremendous work ethic. He is a character guy and won't be around @ #42. Round 2: #42; Eric Wood, C, Louisville. Bigger, stronger, and faster than both Mack & Unger. More durable too with 47 consecutive starts. Round 3; a. (picked up from trade out of R1, #11) Craig Urbik, G, Wisconsin. b. #75; Chip Vaughn, SS, Wake Forrest. Round 4: #110: Zach Follet, OLD, Cal. #121: Sammie Lee Hill, DT, Stillman...guy is a freak of nature for his size...he blows it up every play. Potential for another round 4 pick for Roscoe...maybe an OT Round 5: a. #147; Antone Smith, RB, FL St. Way too good to pass on here with the volatility at RB at OBD. 4.33 40yd, Benched 225 33x. Home run guy. b. # (more likely to pick this up for Roscoe) Joel Bell, OT, Furman. Round 6: a. Jamarko Simmons, WR, W MI. Guy has T.O.'s size. Looks to be what we expected out of Reed a few years ago with RAC ability b. (assuming someone wants Kelsay) Brandon Swain, DE, W. TX A&M. Round 7: Tony Fiammetta, FB, Cuse. Strength listed as "powerful run blocking", but he can catch it out of the backfield too. FIRE AWAY!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like more of a rush OLB than a guy who could play LE in our defense, but he definitely had a GREAT combine and shows serious explosiveness for a guy who only played DE for 1 season at Cincinnatti.

OrangeJuiceSimpson Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I like it alot. My only issue is that I see Jemarko Simmons going before the 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Pretty good. I'm also not a big fan of Barwin, though. Other than that I like it. I like Follet and Antone Smith a lot, although as far as Smith goes, I don't know about RB being a need whatsoever. No matter what round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but if he's there...how can you pass up on a guy that fast, and that strong...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like more of a rush OLB than a guy who could play LE in our defense, but he definitely had a GREAT combine and shows serious explosiveness for a guy who only played DE for 1 season at Cincinnatti. I think he's got 2 seasons under his belt. I believe he converted from TE after his Soph campaign. He's also got a frame that can pack on a few lbs. and with a pro strength trainer this guy will be a force...would you rather have him rushing Trent? NE's predicted to scoop him up in a few mocks that I've seen....NO THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 To tell you the truth, I'd be very happy with this draft. The only noticable pick that I wouldn't want is Barwin. I think his upside is what I like about him, but I just would rather choose someone else. Matthews, Britton, English or Jarron Gilbert would be other choices that I'd rather have with the #28 pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fewell733 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I have a hard time taking seriously mock drafts that involve trade downs (not that mock drafts really should be taken seriously to start with). That said, I really like the players you've selected. I think Barwin at #28 is a very serious possibility. I think Wood would be a great pick in the 2nd (he might not even last till then). Pettigrew would be great at the spot we traded down to. Chip Vaughn looks like a beast in the highlights I've seen. Urbick I'm not sure about - not a good athlete really, and I think the 3rd round is too high to take a guy like him. I think we probably need to get a tackle somewhere in the first 3 rounds. Some possibilities in the 3rd might be Gerald Cadogan from Penn State, Fenuki Tupou from Oregon (more likely a RT or guard), or a real freak athlete like Xavier Fulton out of Illinois, who (kind of like Bell) is still learning the position, but his potential is unlimited.

michaelfromgermany Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I am all over it. If Andre Smith is not there at 11, please trade back some spots and take Pettigrew. With 28, 42 and the new aquired pick we select: OT, C, DE. This would be day to remember in Bills History... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
