I couldnt wait any longer... I was trying to resist the urge of creating a draft board till now until I finally caved in...
I searched around the internet to find as many updated draft boards (as of this week) as I can find. I averaged all the rankings for each player and came up with an "average" draft board.
Obviously, it is too soon. Lot of players will drop off the board if they dont declare. A lot of them will sky rocket up or fall crashing down by the time April comes...
But for those of you who are interested to see what is the "average" expert opinion as it stands now, you can read below. The draft boards are from cbs, espn, fftoolbox and so on. For defenders I assigned the position that would be relevant to Buffalo's 3-4... Here it goes
1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
2. Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU
3. A J Green, WR, Georgia
4. Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska
5. Da'Quan Bowers, DE/ OLB, Clemson ( Found it interesting that he is so high already across the board)
6. Robert Quinn, OLB, North Carolina (Again, not my opinion... average experts opinion)
7. Marcel Dareus, DE, Alabama
8. Nick Fairley, DE, Auburn
9. Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa
10. Jake Locker, QB, Washington (Yes, he has fallen down although not so much IMHO)
11. Julio Jones, WR, Alabama
12. Allen Bailey, DE, Miami
13. Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State ( 5 DE/DTs in top 13... that has to be some sort of record)
14. Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College ( first OT )
15. Akeem Ayers, OLB, UCLA ( I was surprised he wasnt higher but a lot of time left)
16. Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas
17. Bruce Carter, OLB, North Carolina
18. Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama (again, not my opinion)
19. Derek Sherrod, OT, Mississippi State
20. Stephen Paea, DT, Oregon State
21. Ryan Kerrigan, OLB, Purdue
22. Audie Cole, LB, North Carolina State
23. Aaron Williams, CB, Texas
24. Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin
25. Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
26. Greg Jones, ILB, Michigan State
27. Janoris Jenkins, CB, Florida
28. D. J. Williams, TE, Arkansas ( surprisingly, not kyle rudolph)
29. Cameron Newton, QB, Auburn ( remember this is average opinion and there is a wide spread on this one, just like tebow)
30. Rodney Hudson, OG, Florida State
31. Jonathan Baldwin, WR, Pittsburgh
32. Von Miller, OLB, Texas A & M ( He fell a lot because of the first half of season. He is picking up steam again. I dont think we can get him at #33)
As for Bills, 2nd round pick, here are some options... kyle rudolph, jeremy beal, demaruc love, cameron jordan,de
In the 3rd round - tyron smith,OT, USC, matt reynolds, justin houston, blaine gabbert,
What do you guys think?
