Look at my perfect (bills)Mock!

PrintThough i might do a Bills mock draft, and it's gonna be one of the harder mocks to predict this offseason because...
1. Wil STL take a QB? If they don't our whole draft could shake up because maybe Clausen or Bradford falls to #9. Maybe STL takes Suh. Then one of the other teams looking form a QB this year in Washington picks Okung. Then seattle picks one of the big time QB's and Clausen or Bradford falls right into our hands. Do we take him? We should a franchise QB is the most important thing on a team.
2. Do we want the sure thing in Bulaga or the iffy Davis? Brian Bulaga seems like he'll be a sure thing to be a solid OT. Anthony Davis on the other hand seems like he'll be a pro-bowl caliber OT or he could be a ( gulp) Mike Williams type pick.
3. Do we address the 3-4 defense? If so do we take the potential dominate Rolondo McClain or do we get the NT we need in Dan Williams. Or maybe we go for Derrick Morgan the strong pass rushing DE or Jasn Pierre-Paul the 6-6 DE/OLB hybrid pass rusher we could use for the 3-4.
Here goes...
1st round pick #9- Anthony Davis- ( Assuming Bradfordand Clausen will be off the board)This pick will be a risky pick. We could potentally trade down for Bulaga or Pierre-Paul. Or maybe take Derrick Morgan at this pick. I believe we shoudl take Rolando McClain becaus he' a once in a Patrick Willis type prospect, but this is who i think the Bills will take, not who i want them to take. New GM and HC will be looking to solidify the OL and Davis is who they will take. I don't really approve of this pick, but we have made some bad picks recently.
2nd round pick #41- Cam Thomas- Again who i think the Bills will pick not who i want them to pick at all. This guy has overrated written all over him. In my opinion he'll be nothing more than a John McCargo, who was also a huge reach for the Bills. If i were to make this pick(saying that we take Davis) I say Brandon Spikes because he's great ILB against the run, which we need for the 3-4. Spikes would be my number one, but i would also like to see Johnathon Dwyer. RB, he was brought in my Chan to GT and would be a good choice especially if we could trade Lynch for a 4th round pick. Also if Sergio Kindle is available at this pick i'd be fine with that pick as well
3rd round pick #72- Darryl Washington- He's the ILB rush defender we need now that we haven't drafted one yet. This should be a good pick, because Washington played great against the run all season for TCU. We could go for QB,OG,DE/OLB. Some other picks i considered were Jevan Snead and Tony Pike. coming into the season Snead was a top 5 pick now he's a mid round pick. I've been watching him and he looks stiff and uncomfortable throwing the ball. Pike doesn't have the strong arm fans want, but he's a smart/accurate QB. Plus he's very tall. OG picks for here include Marshall Newhouse and Joe Asamoah, but we don't need an OG unless Wood is going to play C in coming years(but we can deal with i when/if it happens). Grag Hardy, Kao Misi, and A.J. Edds for DE and OLB. Hardyis my favorite, but Misi will surprise some Geno Atkins wouldalso be a good pick for DT.
4th round pick #104- Dan LeFevour- Everybody on Rumblings seems to like this guy and i do to and why not. He absolutly dominated college, is mobile, can throw rather well, and Chan wants his new QB project. I wish i could have some NFL comparisons for this guy but I can't think of any, can i get some help?. He's a great prospect and i want him and I think the Bills want him. Other possibilities are Eric Norwood, Jason Fox, Myron Rolle, and Zac Robinson.
5th Round pick #136- Myron Rolle- Why he might fall this far blows my mind away. He was the #1 high school prospect coming into college, he abolutly dominated college, but instead of going to the NFL or back to college for his senior year, he went to Oxford. He's one of the few college athletes who have a back up plan if they don't make it. He's a brilliant student and a great football player. He's also probably a great learner. In 10 years or so if he doesn't quit football for a non athletic job, he could very well become one of the better players inthis draft and a very good sleeper pick. If the Bills don't pick Rolle if he is available here, THEY WILL REGRET IT! Other possibilities...none if the Bills are smart
6th round- ILB who can play the run, and be a decent back up.
7th Round- PR/KR now that Parrish is gone
Possible Trades: Marshawn Lynch for a 4th round pick, Roscoe Parrish for a 7th round pick, Aaron Schobel for a 4th round pick, Trent Edwards for a 4-5 round pick.
Recap...
Who I think the Bills will pick( in order):
-Anthony Davis
-Cam Thomas
-Darryl Washington
-Dan LeFevour
- Myron Rolle
- Back up ILB
- PR/KR
Who I want the Bills to pick( in order):
- Rolondo McClain
- Johnathon Dwyer( If we trade Lynch)
- Geno Atkins
- Dan LeFevour
-Myron Rolle
- Back up ILB or DT/DE
- KR/PR
Hope you enjoyed

First things first, don’t forget that Buffalo has an extra 6th round pick from the Peters trade and somehow got an extra 7th from Detroit.
Daryl Washington is about the same size as Keith Ellison is. He’s going to get bigger, but I don’t think he’s a fit in this defense. If the Bills are drafting an ILB, he needs to be a big guy who can take on blockers and not a little guy who runs around them. Washington will most likely be drafted by a 4-3 team who can play him at OLB early and groom him to be a MLB in the future. If you want an ILB there, Micah Johnson would be a better player for the new defense. There’s a whole bunch of other directions you could go in there. You could grab one of the QBs or OGs you mentioned or maybe a sliding OLB or 3-4 DE or even a WR.
Geno Atkins doesn’t fit the 3-4 either. He’s a 6’1, 290 pound quick, penetrating player. He’s your prototypical 4-3 undertackle and is the exact opposite of what you’re looking for in a 3-4. The difference is that in a 4-3 defense, you want your players to get by the blocker and into the backfield to disrupt things and make plays. In a 3-4, you want stronger, longer players who can control blockers and clog up the middle leaving the runner with nowhere to go.
I love where your head is at for the 2nd round pick. I think Cam Thomas makes a lot of sense as a potential pick and I think it would be a terrible move if somebody like Spikes or Kindle are available. The 2nd round needs to be about value this year. It’s a deep draft and Buffalo could realistically grab a guy who would go in the early 20s in a different year. There’s got to be a better option there than Cam Thomas.
I signed up for Second Life about a year ago. Back then my life was so great that I literally wanted a second one. In my Second Life I was also a paper salesman and I was also named Dwight. Absolutely everything was the same. Except I could fly. - Dwight Schrute
awesome job, Buffalo
Draft a scrub safety in the 4th and spin him for a 7th…excellent recipe for continally drafting in the top 12.
Aaron Maybin is DeMarcus Ware 2.0.
LeFevour/Trades
I think we have to be careful about these types of QBs that put up huge numbers in college see Graham Harrell and Timmy Chang, neither of them made it with monster numbers, Colt Brennan is barely in the NFL, but since it’s not that high of a pick we’ll have low expectations and risk so who knows. And to your trades, I don’t like the value we’d get from them, but I am up for getting rid of Roscoe. I think Schobel will be a monster in the 3-4 and I think we should give Lynch one more chance hoping he drops a little wait and gets some of the 4.46 speed back.
Possible Trades: Marshawn Lynch for a 4th round pick, Roscoe Parrish for a 7th round pick, Aaron Schobel for a 4th round pick, Trent Edwards for a 4-5 round pick.
Do you seriously think anyone is going to give a 4th round pick for a guy who might wind up suspended for most of 2010? Every offseason Lynch does something stupid so why would a team expect anything different this offseason?
Roscoe Parrish is going to be cut and pretty much everyone knows it. Why give up something of value for something you can get for free?
Schobel might bring a 4th round pick, but even that seems a little high given that he’s already flirting with retirement.
Edwards isn’t going to bring a 4th or 5th rounder. First, he’s psychologically broken and no one knows yet if he can be salvaged. Second, if Buffalo gets a QB in the draft there’s an excellent chance that Edwards gets cut. Again, why give something of value for something you can get for free?
It can always get worse. Let me tell you how.
Daryl Washington?
Don’t think a 225 lb ILB will work in a 3-4 as the guy we need inside is a thumper SILB who takes on guards
Norwood is nice for a 34
His sack numbers are impressive over his career as a LB. He might be devalued because he isn’t a well rounded Lb from what I’ve heard but we need pass rushers and he can do that
LeFevour is the #3 rated QB in the draft, probably not lasting til the 3rd, let alone 4th.
They are hard to play but not hard to beat.
- Mike Lombardi on the Buffalo Bills
rated 3rd by whom?
Buffalo, that's where it's at baby. - Adam 'Pacman' Jones

Love Myron
As a FSU fan I loved watching him play plus the Oxford connection . I hope we go with Mclain too if you know what your doing you can find great offensive lineman later in the draft i.e the colts with the best gm ever.Maybe 2nd or 3rd for a tackle
Please the playoffs again in my life time
