Early shot at a 2011 Mock Draft

I have been having similiar thoughts about Green, but If I was to post it, well, lets say it comes better from you. There has been some support on this site for Green, but if we are talking BPA this is avery realistic start. Still going Luck if available, but Green might actually contribute much sooner than Luck so you have something working for you. Once again, we will need FA help in the front seven, similiar if not better than last year.

You can’t say they’d never take a WR because they took Spiller when RB was the last thing any of us felt was a priority in the draft.

So what happens with Lee Evans in this scenario?

i’m surprised: no DL, no LB before the 4th round.if we stick with fitz i think we will go DL, OL or LB in the 2nd, then CB, RB.Green won’t be here for us because he’s a top 3, and we will win games again

But i agree that we need a CB either with the 2nd/3rd round pick. I would be happy with Jenkins, Harris from MIA-FL and Downling from UVA.

Wide receiver is NOT the problem by any means this year. We have Evans, and Johnson who has stepped up big this year and who I have been waiting for for the last couple years to emerge. Roscoe has finally been utilized in the right way, and our undrafted rookies have really stepped up and with a season under their belt will be much better next year. Everyone seems to be forgetting about a guy we drafted in the 4th round last year, Marcus Easley, who was looking good before he got hurt.

Offense is not the problem right now, even all of this left tackle talk. Why is everyone calling for a left tackle now, Bell has been playing very well this year. He SHUT DOWN Julius Peppers last week and really has performed very well. I have watched every game this year and the offense has been coming around the past few weeks and the offensive line has been gelling just the way everyone has been hoping for.

The problem is PASS RUSH, PASS RUSH, PASS RUSH. We are getting ZERO pass rush every week. One of the big reasons we won yesterday was that we somehow managed to get a little pressure on Hill occasionally. We only got 1 sack (which brings us to maybe 13 on the season as a team). That puts us at 26th in sacks in the NFL.

The battles are won in the trenches, our offensive line has been playing very well. Yes they will give up a sack occasionally, but who doesn’t? We have only given up 13 sacks to Fitz this year. That is tied for the 20th LEAST amount of sacks to any quarterback in the league. And we are DEAD LAST in INTs. Other Quarterbacks are getting almost 5 seconds in the pocket on every play. If we had a decent pass rush, our coverage would force a lot more sacks and our rush would force a lot more turnovers. We need to focus on pass rusher in the draft that is the NUMBER 1 NEED right now.

QB, Pass Rush, and QB protection seem to be the biggest issues.

I’m not saying completely avoid the greatest talent available. But there should be someone with a lot of talent/potential in the area that also fills a need. A DE would really help this team in the front 7, though no OLB is probably even within a mile of being BPA at our pick. I do agree that OT will probably be a good combo of BPA and Need in the 2nd round — even if it’s only for a RT.

There might even be another QB that’s worth picking after Luck. While AJ Green is a beast of a player, at this moment it seems like our WRs are good enough to get the job done, even if AJ Green would give us elite potential.

Casey Matthews is definitely an intriguing pick. I’d really be happy if OBD ended up drafting him.

Even if you dont get luck in the draft you have to draft a QB somewhere in the draft. I was think like in the second or third getting boise state QB Kellen Moore.

Fitz isn’t good enough, we need a QB. If were given opportunity to grab Luck or Locker we will. If not, your BPA will prevail. Just don’t see Nix passing on possible franchise QB with 1st rd pick.

Matthews will be gone before the 4th IMO.

Sorry, but I feel as though you have the Bills taking either unnecessary picks or picks that will be long gone when you have them selected. Starting with your first pick, Green is a great wide receiver, but seeing how Stevie Johnson has stepped up, it would be foolish to draft a WR in the first when their are several places of need for the Bills. The first of your second round picks is a good one, but assuming Reynolds enters the draft as a junior, he would be scooped up in the first round for sure. I have a problem with drafting a corner back in the second round for a few reasons. Firstly, the Bills recently drafted McKelvin in the first round. Secondly, the secondary already has good depth, Florence a second rounder, Youbouty (thrid), McGee and Corner (fourth). Eventually, there will be a need to draft a CB, but that won’t be for a few years. I like Rowe and Matthews, but Rowe in particular is pegged for late sixth round, meaning I would at the earliest, use the fifth round pick on him. Sixth round, I do not know why people are obsessed with drafting a center as Hangartner is really having a good season, not to mention, next to him is former all-american center Eric Wood. Lastly, I hate Nesbitt; Fred Jackson is capable of operating a wildcat if needed so if you get a RB, get a true RB

Since when does drafting a great wide receiver help the team, unless he is the next Randy Moss – Can you say Calvin Johnson or Andre johnson. The Patriots are a fine example of a great quarterback, along with the Colts, who don’t need “big name” receiver’s to be successful!
We need to address a defense that cannot stop the run and doesn’t rush the passer!
Their are plenty of great finds in the later rounds, in fact I was high on Hakeem Nicks a few year’s back and he was taken in the late first round.
You win in the trenches and the Bills should address defensive line or take a stud linebacker, if they decide not to take a Q.B.
And let’s see how Fitz does the rest of the year before we proclaim him the 2nd coming of Drew Brees!
