Around SBN: Despite Relocation Drama, Coyotes Overcome Adversity

The Rumblers' Big Draft Board


Calling all mock drafters!  Time to put our heads together.  With all the good mock drafts that have been posted lately, I thought it might be fun to put together a draft board for Bills fans based on those mocks.  The idea here is to list players we would like to see the Bills draft at the earliest round you would want the Bills to take them.  During the course of the draft, if a player at a position of need drops, it would represent the greatest value for the Bills.  I realize that there might be a some disagreement about where certain players should be taken, but I will do my best to average everyone's opinions.  Players at the same positions are listed in preference of who I would want the Bills to take.  For example, if the Bills do take a QB with the #9 pick, I would take Bradford over Clausen.  There are some players like Weatherspoon that probably will not last until the second round, but are players the Bills should not consider reaching for at #9.  If the Bills trade down from #9, some of those second round players would come into play.  Should I divide the first round into picks 1-15 and 16-32?  I apologize if I missed a player or two you might have had in your mock.  If you see a player that you think should be added or feel someone should be moved up or down, let me know.  It should be fun to use this list as a cheat sheet on Draft Weekend.

Two questions

Do you think the Bills should take a WR in round 2?

Do you think round two is to early for Thomas?

He recently broke his foot and will not be able to participate in the combine. Scouting reports seem all over the place on Thomas.

I would rather see us take a TE (as opposed to a WR) — especially one like Rob Gronkowski who can excel both as a blocker and a receiver. I think we are going to need all the help we can get over the next few years for both pass protection and run-blocking, and using a two TE set could really make a difference in that regard. Beyond that, if Gailey wants to run the pistol offense he used in Kansas City (which was very successful for him there) having two good TE’s is essential. Now that we have cut Derek Fine it strikes me as a real need.

by Macktruck on Feb 21, 2010 9:16 PM EST up reply actions  

Gronkowski

Where would you take him if you were the Bills? Seems to me like round 2 at the earliest with round 3 being a great value. Given the Bills other needs, I am leaning toward putting him in round 3.

I’d put him in the 3rd. He’s a 2nd round talent, but there are too many needs for Buffalo to take him in the 2nd.

Hey Joe...

why not put the players in the round they deserve? Instead of the round we think may be good value for the Bills?
I hate boards before the combine, but Gronk should be early-mid second… Put him there, so we can dance and get drunk if he’s still there in the 4th or so for us…..

by Cinga on Feb 22, 2010 3:23 PM EST up reply actions  

Maybe I should have, but

how do you decide where a player “deserves” to go? I was trying to make this board Bills specific and strike a balance between BPA and need. For example, because of the lack of elite 3-4 NTs in this years draft, a guy like Williams could go in the 1st rather than the 2nd where his talent level might suggest he should go.

Gronk is another one of those players that could be taken early or fall. Not a lot of good TEs in this draft which could boost his stock, but Gronk is coming off an injury which could hurt it. Given the Bills other needs, I can’t see taking him with our current second round pick. If we trade back or trade a player and pick up a late 2nd rounder, I would consider it.

I would be comfortable with Thomas in the second round

He admittedly needs a lot of polish on his route running skills, but as Jaws is fond of saying, football is a game of matchups, and this guy is an extremely difficult one. Everything I’ve read about him tells me that he loves the game and is an extremely hard worker. He has the physical tools and the desire to be good, and that (theoretically anyways) should allow him to be successful. I feel like he would be a first round prospect in a different system (and still may be anyways).

As for drafting a WR in the second round, I fully support the idea, but I do think that Thomas is the only one I would take at our spot (maybe Tate, if he was the best value). If you look at our needs list, the top 3 would be QB, OT and NT. If we draft a tackle in the first, there won’t be anybody worthy of our pick at QB in the 2nd. Williams and Cody may be gone, and I’m not sold on Cam Thomas at that spot. I like Arthur Jones a lot, but I’m not sure he’s the best fit. That leaves 2nd tier needs, and WR is part of that tier. Let’s face it, we need offensive weapons just as much as we need D-line help.

I'm mixed at best...

I watched him play a few games this season and was pretty impressed. I think the kids got tremendous potential and a great upside… but could easily end up being another big project. If it were me doing the drafting (and thankfully it’s not!) I’d say 3rd Rd. at best, but could definately see him being an undrafted FA.

He is a late first rounder and is currently a starting Guard

While he may develop into a LT, he is not ready to start day 1. I can’t see the Bills taking him at #9, so I would put him in the 2nd round as a G. Now, if the Bills trade down into the mid to late first round, he could be Butler’s replacement?

Sean Witherspoon would be an ILB in a 3-4 and I don’t think he’s good enough value in the 2nd round (for a 3-4 team). If the 2nd round options are guys who are strong possibilities for Buffalo’s pick at 41, then I don’t think Witherspoon is an option.

What do people think about Eric Norwood and Ricky Sapp as 2nd round possibilities?

I’d add Corey Wootton and Arthur Jones to the 2nd round DEs. Jones seems to have slipped with his injury though, so maybe we should list him in the 3rd? I think They’re both better options than a guy like Lamar Houston, who is just an OK fit in the scheme or Alex Carrington. I thought I was going to be a Carrington fan after watching him consistently win battles against Kyle Calloway in a game that ESPN inexplicably had on TV, but I don’t think he’s really 2nd round material. Any chance that Carlos Dunlap will still be available and would we want him in the 2nd? Tyson Alualu in the 3rd? I’m not a fan of his, but that seems like it would be a fairly consensus place to put him.

I do think that WR is a very real option for Buffalo in the 2nd round. It’s possible that the BPA is a WR and I wouldn’t want them to pass on a Damian Williams or Golden Tate for a guy like Cam Thomas. I’d be OK with a Brandon LaFell or Arrelious Benn selection too. What are people thinking about the WRs? I think Bills our mediocre line play over the last decade has left the importance of skill players underrated here on Rumblings.

Is Maurkice Pouncey an option in the 2nd, or is G/C not a big enough need?

What about Selvish Capers? I wouldn’t draft him very high, but the need at LT could lead to him being picked in the 3rd by the Bills. He’s not a day one starter though, so maybe he’d end up in the opposite direction as somebody that Buffalo isn’t interested in.

I think Zane Beadles will have to kick inside to guard in the NFL. He’s pretty short. He’s more of a zone blocker type too. I don’t think he’s all that good of a run blocker in a scheme that asks guards to create running lanes by pushing defenders off the LOS. He’s more of a tactician type and I wouldn’t draft him until the 5th.

by kaisertown on Feb 21, 2010 11:33 PM EST reply actions  

I like Norwood a lot as well. Consistently productive as a pass rusher, makes big plays, I think he even blocked a kick or two last year.

I just mentioned this in the post above, but Arthur Jones is a guy I really like. I might be overthinking it, but I’m not precisely sure where to put him. He’s strong, but is he strong enough to take consistent punishment at NT? Is he disruptive enough to play weak side end? 3-4 ends also seem findable later in the draft. I’ll tell you what though, I’d take him in the 3rd in a heartbeat.

Absolutely agree on the WRs. I think there’s a good chance that our best option in the 2nd will be a skill position player. As general outline for this draft, I would lean towards drafting skill positions early, and drafting linemen in quantity late.

I'd rather have Houston than Jones

Houston can stay on the field and be productive, Jones is a big old question mark. I’m just not convinced Jones is the right size or athletic enough to be productive from DE.

I’d throw Mike Neal on there for DE.

What about RT prospects in the mid/later rounds?

I think Kindle should be in round 2 on there....

I think we need to add some CB’s to the late rounds, even though nobody on here seems to want to admit it. How about Akwasi Owusu-Ansah in round 4 or 5? How’s that for a name?

WR should really be added to the middle rounds, as well. What about an Eric Decker in round 4, for example?

3-4 DE’s should be added throughout the draft, as should RLB’s. Let’s go with Lorenzo Washington and Carl Ihenacho in the 7th, for the hell of it.

I’ll throw some more names out there if nobody else wants to.

No successful GM drafts on BPA alone. The Bills have to address the critical needs they have at OT, QB, NT, or LB with that first pick. If someone like Berry falls, value might trump need. He still has to prove he has recovered from his knee injury. I will put him in the 2nd round in case he falls.

We have Troup in the 3rd on the Big Board. I know it’s a bit early, but would you care to pick one or two of these guys for each round 4, 5, and 6 on the Big Board (BRBB?)

We are so close to the combine, it might be wise to wait and see if anyone makes any noise there

I can repost this list as we get closer to the draft, or if more people rec it, it would stay near the top (shameless promotion???)

If we end up with Vick, T.O., Richie I., and Porter….that is really pushing the dbag density limit for one team.

There's a way to keep it at the top any time you want....

Key word, time…

I don't know a lot about the majority of those guys

I just compiled those potential draft slots from a variety of scouting sites. They could all go undrafted for all I know.

Of them, Ross, Ivey and Weston seem like the best 6th-7th round options, and would all be worth drafting at that point as a potential rotational NT. Any of the UDFA’s listed would be complete projects, injury questions or underachievers. I might put Heard up there as a priority UDFA. Granger was a big time prospect, but was hampered by injuries throughout his career. Koroma, Bright and Marques Slocum (a Michigan transfer, search his name on Deadspin sometime…hilarious) were also big time prospects that couldn’t stay in school or out of trouble. Tevaseu, Duhart, Bryant and Udofia really have prototypical NT size, but never really distinguished themselves.

Tevaseu was once 417 lbs, but was told if he wanted to play D1 ball he would have to drastically change his body and work hard. He did and it’s starting to pay off. I like what he’s overcome as did Marty Schottenheimer:

The 66-year old coach left the parking lot, ran up to Tevaseu, introduced himself and then said the words Tevaseu will never forget.

"I want to tell you, son," Schottenheimer said, "you are doing a hell of a job. A hell of a job." Moments later Tevaseu took a step back to reflect.

I wonder if Buddy Nix will have talked to Marty at all about this kid….That sure would be a great connection and is definitely a kid to watch out for.

Also, guys like Joseph, Woods, and Weston may project to 3-4 DE as well…

I would bet we see at least one of these guys in camp. If its Slocum, I hope he brings his f lion and his mom…

Tevaseu lost 100 lbs!?! One thing I would trust from him is an ability to overcome difficulties and adapt.

I was actually going to say that I thought Trevaseu was really impressive in the Shrine Game. He’s probably my favorite of the 6th-7th round guys you listed.

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
