My own Bills mock draft

by billsfan69 on Feb 24, 2009 8:45 PM EST

This is my favorite time of year, draft time. So I thought I would throw my 2 cents in, even though I was not asked. Here goes it

Round 1 - TE - Pettigrew, this assumes Orakpo and Brown are gone

Round 2 - DE - Lawrence Sidbury, might be little early but they need help at end and he has both size and speed.

Round 3 - C - Caldwell, the best of who is left and can play all 3 inside positions

Round 4 - TE - Beckum, yes a 2nd tight end, but let Fine and Schouman fight for the 3rd spot and/or the fullback. Since Pettigrew can block we do not need 3 blocking TE and can use a down field threat

Round 5 - C - AQ Shipley, we need depth at Center

Round 6 - FB - Fiammetta, assuming they want to go with a FB

Round 7 - DT - Khalif Mitchell, depth and in case McCargo does not work out

Let me have it.

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

WOW

I hope this is your worst case scenario.

I was going to take it easy on you, but then I saw that you voted for Ron’s mock draft and not mine.

What I like:
- Two Centers. That means that both Preston and Fowler are gone.
- Pettigrew. I think he will be a stud. I’m still not sold on him as the 11th overall pick, but I like the player.
- Fiammetta. It’s a little early for him, I think that if the Bills are going to get him it needs to be in the 7th round or not at all.

What I don’t like:
- Beckum. Not from the standpoint of drafting 2 TEs. I don’t really like the player. I’m not sold on these overstuffed WRs like Beckum, Coffman, and Nelson.
- DE. Way too early for Sidbury, not to mention that I don’t care that much for him.
- Pettigrew. That’s right he makes both lists. I have championed his cause but I still don’t like the idea of taking him with the 11th overall pick.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

I like Pettigrew, so taking him at 11 is not a big deal to me, especially if the top 2 DE are gone. As for Sidbury, I know a little early, but he looked good at the combine and I just think the tier 2 DE are all so close. As for Beckum, I here were you are coming from about overstuffed WR, I wanted to take an OLB but did not seem to be any value to me at that point.

why would you assume that Orakpo and Brown are gone, they won't be

If we can finagle DE Brian Orakpo and C Alex Mack I will not complain about this team for a whole season. I promise.

Holes a plenty

unless you think the Bills are going to be more active in FA than a teenager on Promo night! DE, LB, QB, WR, and DB all go untouched. Out of the 2 TEs and 2 Cs picks combined with where you draft them, I only like the Beckum pick. If the Bills draft like that with the FA I think they are going to have (underwhelming), I will be depressed for …..well…..until they fire the people responsible for FA and drafting like that.

Bad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do
when they come for you?
