Here is your 2009 Bills Mock Draft Tracker. I'll try to keep this updated, maybe every week or two. Enjoy!
| 2009 Buffalo Bills Mock Draft Database | |||||||
| Site | 1st Rnd Pick | Pos. | Ht. | Wt. | College | Pick Assessment | |
| Sports Projections - Updated 2/04) | Vontae Davis |
CB |
6-0 | 204 |
Illinois |
Our take - Uh, no
|
|
| Football Jabber - Updated 2/18) | Brian Orakpo | DE |
6-3 | 263 |
Texas | Their Take - Like OT, there are a few DE’s that may swap spots up and down the board. The Bills can use some young blood in the rotation and as a future face on the defensive line hunting the QB. Although they could use some TE help as well, #11 seems awfully high for the available choices at the position.
|
|
| Draft Empire - Updated 2/18) | Aaron Maybin |
DE |
6-4 | 249 |
Penn State |
My Take - With some added weight, Maybin looks to be one of the few players to consider at #11. Can he add more weight to his 6'4" frame and retain his quickness, and can he help right away? Those are the questions the Front Office will need to consider.
|
|
| Draft King - (Updated 2/21) | Michael Oher |
OT | 6-5 | 309 | Ole Miss | My Take - WTF? | |
| New NFL Draft - (Updated 2/23) | Everette Brown |
DE | 6-2 | 256 | Florida State |
My Take - I still think Brown is the best pass rusher in the draft, and should be drafted as such, regardless of his height. He plays with good leverage, speed and balance which negates any issue his height may have. Other Bills' picks: |
|
| FF Toolbox - Joel Welser - (Updated 2/23) |
Aaron Maybin |
DE | 6-4 | 249 | Penn State |
Their Take - Buffalo has to address their pass rush issues sooner rather than later. If Everette Brown, Brian Orakpo or Aaron Maybin are left on the board, the decision should be pretty easy. Maybin has great speed and athleticism, but is he physically ready to play in the NFL? If he can prove he is during the combine, Maybin will be worth a top ten pick. |
|
| Fantasy Football Jungle - (Updated 1/28) |
Brian Orakpo |
DE | 6-3 | 263 | Texas | Their Take -- The Bills defense wasn't the same as the Bills defenses of old. They will probably look for the best defensive player on the board with this pick that isn't in the secondary. I believe the smart pick will be Orakpo who is versatile enough to play many places in the bills front seven. 2nd: Shawn Nelson TE So. Miss 3rd: Tyronne Green OG Auburn 4th: Graham Harrell QB Texas Tech (WTF?) |
|
| Draft Tek - (Updated 2/23) | BJ Raji |
DT | 6-1 | 337 |
Boston College |
My Take -- I'd personally take Maybin instead. |
|
| Junkyard Jake - (Updated 2/22) |
Brandon Pettigrew |
TE | 6-5 | 263 | Oklahoma State |
Their Take -"Huge target in the passing game (6-5, 260), and a willing and dominant run blocker. Soft hands, and tough to bring down." 2nd Round: Kenny Britt WR Rutgers (yay) |
|
| Draft Daddy - (Updated 2/16) | Brian Orakpo |
DE | 6-3 | 263 | Texas | Their Take - The Bills need a strong and reliable player to set the edge of their 4-3, Orakpo is a safe bet. Safe bet? Eh, that's debatable.... |
|
| New Sport Draft (Updated 2/24) | Rey Maualuga |
MLB | 6-4 | 249 | USC | Their Take -N/A | |
| New Era Scouting - (Updated ???) | Brian Cushing |
OLB | 6-3 | 243 | USC | Their Take - N/A 2nd Round pick: James Casey TE Rice |
|
| FF Toolbox - Raul Colon - (Updated 2/21) |
Aaron Curry |
OLB | 6-2 | 254 | Wake Forest |
My Take -After his combine performance, I think its safe to say that this isn't happening. |
|
| Walter Football - Walter (Updated 2/21) | Brian Orakpo |
DE |
6-3 | 263 | Texas |
Their Take - I've seen some 2009 NFL Mock Drafts project Brandon Pettigrew here, and while that fits a need, No. 11 is simply too high for him. Buffalo needs to address its defensive end woes before it adds a quality pass-catching tight end to the roster. 2nd: C Unger 3rd: TE Coffman 4th: OLB McRath
|
|
| Draft Ace - (Updated 2/13) | Jeremy Maclin |
WR | 6-0 | 198 | Missouri |
Their Take -- The Bills are two years into the Trent Edwards era and they've failed to supply him with enough talent to prove his worth. Lee Evans is one of the best in the game, but they need a reliable second option. Maclin has the size and speed to develop into an elite receiver, and the raw talent to be a difference maker right from the get go. | |
| NE Patriots Draft - (Updated 2/12) |
Michael Johnson |
DE |
6-7 | 266 | Georgia Tech |
Their Take -- "While his quick first step and long body makes him a terror to pass block, Johnson needs to work on his variety of moves and shedding blockers." 2nd Round: J. Luigs C Arkansas |
|
| Walter Football - Matt McGuire (Updated 2/20) |
Tyson Jackson |
DE | 6-4 | 295 | LSU |
My Take - Huh? This guy is the perfect 3-4 DE, and has limited pass rush ability. He's about as bad a fit as there can be here. 2nd Round: Nic Harris S/OLB Oklahoma - Another WTF pick |
|
| Seahawks Draft - (Updated 1/10) | Brian Orakpo |
DE | 6-3 | 263 | Texas | Their Take -The Bills need to support Aaron Schrobel with another pass rushing end. Orakpo could fit in a 4-3 or a 3-4 and had an excellent senior year. | |
| NFL Draft Blitz - (Updated 2/20) |
Brandon Pettigrew |
TE | 6-5 | 263 | Oklahoma State | ||
| FF Toolbox - Ricky Dimon (Updated 2/17) |
Brian Orakpo |
DE | 6-3 | 263 | Texas | My Take -Someone is a popular pick 2nd: S Nic Harris OU Yuck |
|
| Draft Headquarters - (Updated 2/17) | Brian Orakpo |
DE | 6-3 | 263 | Texas |
Their Take --"The Bills' pass rush was among the worst in football last season. They desperately need to add a defensive end who is capable of getting to the quarterback. Orakpo had an outstanding senior season and really saw his stock rise. He's a lock to be a Top 20 pick and could enter into the mix for the Top 10. Brandon Pettigrew is another option here to give the team an added threat at the tight end position." | |
| Mock Draft Aces - (Updated 2/2) | Rey Maualuga |
MLB | 6-4 | 249 | USC | Their Take - N/A |
|
| College Sports Master - (Updated 1/7) | Aaron Curry |
OLB | 6-2 | 254 | Wake Forest |
Their Take - N/A | |
| APFootball - (Updated 2/4) | Michael Johnson |
DE | 6-7 | 266 | Georgia Tech |
My Take - Take Maybin first. |
|
| Lucky Lestor (Updated 1/19) | Brian Orakpo |
DE | 6-3 | 263 | Texas | My Take -Can't be too lucky with a name like Lester. |
|
| Draft Bulletin - (Updated 1/28) | Everette Brown |
DE | 6-2 | 256 | Florida State |
Their Take - N/A | |
| Draft Countdown - (Updated 2/5) | Brian Orakpo |
DE | 6-3 | 263 | Texas |
Their Take - "Brian Orakpo, a.k.a. "O-Sack-Po", had an amazing senior season for the Longhorns and he won both the Lombardi Award as the nation's best lineman and the Nagurski Trophy, which is given to the nation's top defensive player. In addition to that outstanding on-field performance Orakpo also figures to test extremely well in pre-draft workouts when he is given an opportunity to show off his amazing blend of athleticism, speed and strength. Don't rule out Pettigrew though because Buffalo struggled to score points and he'd really aid the development of Trent Edwards." 2nd: Shawn Nelson TE |
|
| Draft Dog - (Updated 2/22) | Brandon Pettigrew |
TE | 6-5 | 263 | Oklahoma State |
Their Take "The Bills need a Pro Bowl tight end and Pettigrew (6' 6" 260 lbs) is one of the most talented offensive prospects in this draft. A devastating blocker as well as receiver." | |
| The Football Expertt - (Updated 2/15) | Brian Orakpo |
DE | 6-3 | 263 | Texas |
Their Take - "Many experts have projected Brandon Pettigrew at this slot, but I believe when you have a losing record, I usually recommend drafting other positions in the first round as there will be pretty of talent at the TE position in the next few rounds. Past high first round tight ends have not been the game changers teams thought they were going to be. Take Chase Coffman or Jared Cook in the 2nd round." 2nd: Coffman TE 3rd: Freeman OLB 4th: Caldwell C |
|
| My NFL Draftt - (Updated 2/16) | Brian Orakpo |
DE | 6-3 | 263 | Texas |
My Take - (Yawn) | |
| Draft Season Lupagus - (Updated 2/2) | Brandon Pettigrew |
TE | 6-5 | 263 | Oklahoma State |
Their Take - "What is the best cure for a struggling young QB? Give him a nice big tight end as a safety valve" My Take - How about a running game, or a good D, or better receivers, or a game against the Chiefs? |
|
| Football's Future - (Updated 2/16) | Aaron Curry |
OLB | 6-2 | 254 | Wake Forest |
Their Take "The Bills would like to add a tight end to Trent Edwards available options, but this is too early for one. Curry is very good value at this point, and could step in on the strong side from Day One. " | |
| Draft Board Insiderr - (Updated 1/24) | Brian Orakpo |
DE | 6-3 | 263 | Texas |
Their Take N/A 2nd Round - Evander Hood DT Missouri |
|
| ESPN Mel Kiper - (Updated 1/22) | Brandon Pettigrew |
TE | 6-5 | 263 | Oklahoma State |
My Take - Can't do an update in a month Mel? Have you really been that busy doing whatever it is you do between then and the Combine? | |
| ESPN Todd McShay - (Updated 2/2) | Aaron Maybin |
DE | 6-4 | 249 | Penn State |
Their Take "TE Brandon Pettigrew is an obvious possibility, but the Bills are looking to improve the edges of their defensive front, and Maybin's upside as a pass-rusher is huge. In the Bills' 4-3 defense, Maybin would fit best at SAM linebacker but also could serve as a situational edge rusher, help that DEs Chris Kelsay and Aaron Schobel need. 2nd Round: Cornelius Ingram TE Florida |
|
| Draft Notebook - (Updated 2/21) | Everette Brown |
DE | 6-2 | 256 | Florida State |
Their Take N/A 2nd Round: Chase Coffman TE |
|
| National Football Post - (Updated 2/16) | Brian Orakpo |
DE | 6-3 | 263 | Texas |
Their Take - "The Bills need to enhance their pass rush off the edge, and Orakpo looks like his skill set is much better suited for a 4-3 defense than a 3-4." |
|
| CNN/SI Don Banks - (Updated 1/22) | Brandon Pettigrew |
TE | 6-5 | 263 | Oklahoma State |
Their Take The Bills have to get more potent on offense, as the final 10 games of their once-hopeful 2008 season painfully exhibited. For the longest time they've needed a tight end who can both make plays in the passing game and add enough of a blocking presence to justify his role in the lineup. Pettigrew has the perfect combination of those skills, and will offer a reliable underneath option for quarterback Trent Edwards" |
|
| NFL Draft Scout Rob Rang - (Updated 2/17) | Aaron Maybin |
TE | 6-4 | 249 | Penn State |
Their Take "Former Nittany Lion Paul Posluszny nearly doubled the production of the Bills' second-leading tackler last season. Considering the free agent status of undersized Keith Ellison and the medical uncertainty of former starter Angelo Crowell, the Bills may look back to Penn State. Maybin, an ascending talent, could provide a combination of athleticism and size currently missing from Buffalo's linebacking corps." |
|
| NFL Draft Scout Chad Reuterr - (Updated 2/18) | Everette Brown |
DE | 6-2 | 256 | Florida State |
Their Take "The Bills desperately need a pass-rushing threat like Brown on the outside. TE Brandon Pettigrew might be tempting, but there is enough depth in this draft to find a potential starter there in round two." |
|
| CBS Sports Pete Prisco - (Updated 2/12) | Brandon Pettigrew |
TE | 6-5 | 263 | Oklahoma State |
Their Take "They need to get a threat in the middle of the field to take the pressure off Lee Evans. Pettigrew can be that special kind of receiving tight end." |
|
| Pro Football Weekly - (Updated 1/30) | Brandon Pettigrew |
TE | 6-5 | 263 | Oklahoma State |
Their Take "The value of a complete tight end who can dominate as a blocker will not be lost on Dick Jauron and draft boss Tom Modrak, and after losing Kevin Everett to injury two years ago, the Bills need to address the TE position." |

Nice work though, you wasted as much time as I did tonight I think!
I told the witch doctor that I was in love with the Buffalo Bills, and instead of telling me to say "Oh eeh oh oh ah, ting tang walla walla wing bang" in order to make me feel better he told me to buy a gun and end it.

nice work
not that you kneed any more work but it would be interesting to see who these guys all had the Bills picking last year, just to see who might atually know what there talking about.

That data was erased when we updated this, but I do know that the last time we had an update from Todd McShay, he had us taking Leodis McKelvin in the first and James Hardy in the second.

Unless he did a final final mock
after the draft.

No, the last time we had updated it was sometime in March, so it wasn’t McShay’s final pre-draft mock.

NFL.com's Steve Wyche has us taking Pettigrew...
With all the DEs still left on the board if you want to add that.

Its too bad the USC product pulled up on his hammy on the 40, but whatever
The Bills CAN win every game

Brown, Orakpo, Maybin, Pettigrew
Since the posts pretty much are all in agreement that Buffalo will get one of those guys, who are the Bills really going to get? I mean, it’s not like OBD can just take the guy everyone thinks Buffalo is going to take…

The only good thing about the Bills picking someone
unexpected is watching Mel Kiper’s head explode!

The hair will stay intact however. It’s got so much gel in it that it has become bullet-proof.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

I am beginning to think
Kiper’s hair is really a Venom-like symbiont.

He did have a white patch in the front one year which has since disappeared. So you are probably right with the venom-like symbiont. He’s just hiding it now.
Interesting that Kiper still has us taking Pettigrew at 11. He also has Maybin going before Orakpo or Brown.
Here’s a funny one. Matt McGuire over at Walter Football has a 2010 mock draft. And who gets the number one pick? Yup, the Buffalo Bills!! And who do they pick? Sam Bradford!!!
everything goes better with a BIG MACK

There, got the obligitory DB reference in there for us anytime someone discusses what the Bills WILL do instead of what we think they SHOULD do.

Well if we have the number one pick that year....
Trent will be the reason. I would hope we pick someone new then.
