He just can’t keep hold of the ball once he’s made a reception.

Brian: DE Orakpo, C Wood, TE Casey, DT Hill, LB Robinson, FB Collins, S T. Moore
Sireric: DE Brown, S W. Moore, C Wood, LB Holtzclaw, TE Pascoe, G Ohrnberger, DT Abdallah

I think you’re both dreaming with your first round picks—particularly once Orakpo and Brown post terrific combine performances. I think I prefer Brian’s, mainly because I’d rather get TE help early than a S. Still, you both target one of the top Cs so I can’t help but like that.

the only thing that doesnt sit right with me is banking again on a late round tight end to contribute. There is some great tight end talent in this draft and I think we have to make a move sooner than round 5. I even think you can get Casey from Brians mock in round 4 of yours.

I like your draft as is but substituting TE Casey for Holtzclaw in round 4 and OLB DeAndrew Levy or OLB Brian Toal for TE Pascoe in round 5.

but I like the Ohrnberger pick. Shipley might be around at that point too if you’d rather grab another C there.

If we don’t get a LB in free agency your mock could very well happen. And I, too, have had a recurring nightmare that our beloved front office will stun us with yet another out of the blue, off the wall pick.
Right now it’s about 50-50 that either Brown or Orakpo will be there at #11. Depends on what Green Bay and SF do. If that happens and Maybin is there, and he comes in at around 250 at the combine, I’d take him at 11. At worst Maybin will probably go to Houston at #15, so he isn’t such a reach.
I just don’t see Wood lasting until the third. If we wait until then we might land Caldwell.
I have also liked Bear Pascoe. Not a field stretcher but solid. Big frame too. Interesting that he runs just as slow as Coffman, 4.85.
Overall a good mock. All this mocking makes me think how highly OBD rates the center position. How highly will OBD rate this year’s centers? Makes me nervous just thinking about it.

Write this down; The Bills will pick at least one guy in the first three rounds that will have us all saying “Oh Man, why did they pick him?”

So very true.

I’m not crazy about the two DEs that get tossed around here. I don’t know why yet. I know we need better play from the DE spot, but I really can’t say I’d be impressed with Brown or Orakpo.

Would Rashad Johnson qualify has a “what the %$^” pick as a FS in the second round instead of Moore?

Turns out, your Josh Johnson pick/demand/prayer may not have been such a bad idea at all last year. What round did TB take him in again?

I think Wood could last that long. If not, someone will. I imagine you may want to address this need through FA as well? Yes? No?

Really like the Holtzclaw pick here. I’d see him maybe going sooner though.

What’s not to like about a football player named “Bear?”

Quick question(s) – If you are drafting a DE high, and then a TE lower, who are you going to be getting rid of from the current roster, and how?

i don’t mind the Brown pick, but I would be super pissed if the first offensive skill player is not taken until round 5 and especially a slow, big, block first TE to bat. I’ll agree that Safety is the most underlooked position of need this off-season, but unless the value is Trent Edwards good, I don’t see it. I like Raji if he is there, and people may not like it by a LB at #11 is not out of the question

but this draft would depress me. All for Brown and Wood (but I don’t know if he makes it to us in Rd. 3), but everone else scares me. Fifth round TE? No FB? Nnnnnnnnooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Everette Brown is my #1 hopeful for the Bills. I think there is no way the Bills get him if they stay at pick 11. I would love to have Orakpo but i’m not sure he will last that long. Which would leave us with BJ Raji.

2. No friggin way the Bills take a safety here. Bills have Donte Whitner and Bryan Scott as starters next year. George Wilson and Ko Simpson are good backups. A safety in the 2nd round makes absolutely no sense. I’ve never even heard of William Moore. And if he didn’t play well in the senior bowl why would you expect him to do well in the pro’s? unless this guy runs a 4.3 and has a 40 inch verticle this pick is not warranted AT ALL.

3. Why everyone is obsessed with Eric Wood I have absolutely no idea. He’s not very big, he’s not very strong, he has trouble against big lineman, and the Bills have had success with late round lineman (Peters and Butler). Really, who gives a rats a$$ about Eric Wood! this is just amazing how everyone gets sucked into everything.

4. Daniel Holtzclaw is an inside linebacker. So why he would replace Keith Ellison I have absolutely no idea. Why would you think a 6’1 246 pound inside linebacker would replace keith ellison. Are you serious? The Bills are in need of an OLB not ILB.

5. Bear Pascoe.

he is is a good blocker who can catch the ball

.

Why on earth would you want the Bills to draft another one of these guys. We already have Fine and Schouman. There is no way they bring this guy in. He wouldn’t even make the roster.

6. This is not a bad pick. I actually like it.

7. First of all, Abdullah won’t be here. I am an Ohio State season ticket holder and I know this guy is not very good. I wouldn’t totally oppose this just because it’s the seventh round.

So basically the only picks I like the are first round pick and the 6th round pick.

Everyone has a preference when it comes to the top DE. I can’t remember a draft where a major position had three interchangeable players. Some like Maybin (I personally think is too small, better as an OLB in a 3-4), some like Orakpo, and others like Brown. If i had to pick right now I’d prob go with Orakpo for his freakish ability but hopefully the combine gives more perspective on the two.

1. Brown – You started out fine.
2. Moore – Your attempt at trying to logically predict illogical behavior by the Bills makes me laugh. You should substitute a Center (using your SS logic without the greater needs weakness) or DT. Not sure if it was you, but I remember being told our 2nd round pick should be a starter. Can Moore push Whitner this season?
3. Wood will never last this long. Might as well make it more realistic and put Luigs.
4 – 5 – I don’t know anything about them. I will take your word for it. Fills needs
6-7 – I disagree about the need for a FB and QB. There are two very good FBs in this draft, and we should try to get one of them. I would not be surprised to see the Bills promote Hammy to the backup role. We should be looking for someone with some raw talent.
