2010 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
2010 NFL Mock Draft Rd. 1
- Rams - Ndamukong Suh (DT)
Front runs for the Michael Vick trade which makes sense with Rams GM history with Vick. Spagnuola is a defensive minded coach and Suh is just too good to pass up. They would form an incredible defensive front with two former first round picks. - Lions - Russel Okung (OT)
Most mock drafts have the Lions taking McCoy. I don't buy it. The Lions take the best OT and acquire a franchise LT to protect their franchise QB Stafford. - Bucs - Eric Berry (S)
Sure it's true that safeties never get picked so early but this is now a pass happy league and the Superbowl proved this to be true. Eric Berry is being compared to Ed Reed. Reflecting on elite teams: Troy Polamalou, Bob Sanders, Ed Reed, Rodney Harrison (during Pats SB runs), Darren Sharper. Berry is too good. - Redskins - Sam Bradford (QB)
Bradford has indicated that his arm feels great. He is a franchise QB. Shanahan has only taken a QB once in the 1st round - Jay Cutler, so this pick is not a 100%. But doesn't matter because this is not Shanahan's decision this is Snyder's decision and he likes his big names. - Chiefs - Bruce Campbell (OT)
Chiefs snag a franchise LT to protect their franchise QB. Chiefs have done a great job of building their team. - Seahawks - Jimmy Clausen (QB)
Pete Carrol gets his franchise signal caller. Matt Hasselback is getting old and finished the season horribly. Jimmy Clausen can start right away in Carrol's west coast offense. - Browns - Joe Haden (CB)
The browns defense made significant strides towards the end of the season however they really need a shutdown corner. Haden is the best corner in the draft. - Raiders - Gerald McCoy (DT)
Raiders run defense was absolutely atrocious. McCoy is rated by some as the best DT in the draft. But you never know with Al Davis. - Bengals - Dez Bryant (WR)
Buffalo trades their 9th overall pick for the Bengals 21st overall, 2nd rd, and 3rd rd pick.
The Bengals have a very good roster. They have an excellent defense, good coaching, and Carson Palmer needs to get over his Playoff hump. This years game against the Jets clearly show that the Bengals need a threat opposite Ocho Cinco. Rather than taking receivers in the first and second round, the Bengals trade up and take the best WR in the draft. There are not many other pressing needs for the Bengals. - Jaguars - Tim Tebow (QB)
Tebow is not rated to go this high. But this pick makes too much sense. At the seniorbowl we saw how much fans love Tebow. He sells tickets. But I like an athlete who always stands up for what he believes in. I love his work ethic. I love his leadership. He is a project with so much potential. It took Vince Young 3 years to become a good pocket passer. He faced criticism for his mechanics and foot work but look at the product he has become. Aaron Rodgers sat on the bench watching Brett Favre, look at him now. Tebow will sit and watch. QB coaches will help him and he has the worth ethic to make himself successful. - Broncos - Dan Williams (NT)
Broncos missed their chance at Bryant. Their biggest problem on defense is the front three. They need to have more pressure from the defensive line and so they take the best NT in the draft. Allow their linebackers to make more plays. - Dolphins - Rolando McClain (LB)
Dolphins LB crew is weak and severely depleted with the departures of Jason Taylor and Porter and their LBs coach. They take the best LB in the draft. - 49ers - C.J. Spiller (RB)
Although RB is not a glaring need, Spiller is an incredible prospect. He is identical to Reggie Bush. Spiller can play the slot, change of pace back, and assist in 49ers special teams. - Seahawks - Bryan Bulaga (OT)
Franchise LT to protect Carrol's new franchise QB. Bulaga is very polished. - Giants - Brian Price (DT)
The Giants really have to shore up their defensive line. They played very poorly against the run this season and Brian Price is perfect for Perry Fewel's Cover 2 Scheme - Titans - Derrick Morgan (DE)
The Titans biggest need is at DE and pass rush. They need to apply better pressure to QBs especially Peyton Manning. Best DE prospect in draft. - 49ers - Trent Williams (OT)
The 49ers are in desperate need for a RT to complete their line. They get the best right tackle in the draft. - Steelers - Terrence Cody (NT)
The line is getting old, especially Hampton. So they take the Mountain to plug the hole that Hampton will leave. Perfect fit in Pittsburgh. - Falcons - Sean Weatherspoon (LB)
Desperate need for a LB especially with Peterson getting old. Weatherspoon is an excellent 4-3 OLB. - Texans - Earl Thomas (FS)
Ballhawking safety that will help the Texans get closer to beating the Manning and winning the division. - Bills - Anthony Davis (OT)
Davis is a massive OT and fulfills our glaring need at LT. He is excellent in all aspects of the game and still has more upside. His work ethic and weight are a concern. - Patriots - Jermaine Gresham (TE)
Best TE in the draft and absolutely incredible athlete. Bill loves his TEs. Brady needs another weapon especially with Moss getting older and Welker returning from a major injury. - Packers - Charles Brown (OT)
Aaron Rodgers was the most sacked QB in the league. The line did improve as the season passed but they still need help on their offensive line. Charles Brown is the best zone blocking tackle in the draft. Very polished prospect, former TE. - Eagles - Carlos Dunlop (DE)
Eagles need to improve their DE position and their pass rush. Romo faced no pressure in his consecutive games against the Eagles. They are lucky to land Dunlop. - Ravens - Damian Williams (WR)
Flacco really needs another target. Derick Mason is getting old. Williams is a very polished receiver. - Cardinals - Brandon Graham (OLB/DE)
Graham was sensational in the Seniorbowl. He is small to play 4-3DE but will be perfect as a rush outside 3-4 linebacker. It is the Cardinals weakest position. I want the Cardinals to take a OT, but the top prospects are taken and Graham is the BPA - Cowboys - Mike Iupati (G)
Perfect for Cowboys offensive line philosophy. Iupati is massive. - Chargers - Jonathan Dwyer (RB)
LT's departure is inevitable. Chargers need an all down back to work with Darren Sproles, that is if the Chargers decide to keeep him. Dwyer is a strong all purpose back who can run in between the tackles and has great burst. - Jets - Jason Pierre Paul (DE/OLB)
Huge upside but kind of a one year wonder. If anyone can bring out a defensive players potential Rex Ryan can. The Jets solidify their already good defense. - Vikings - Patrick Robinson (CB)
Cedric Griffin tore is ACL and Vikings need to address that position. Robinson is 2nd best CB in the draft. - Colts - Taylor Mays (S)
The Colts showed a weakness in defending the Saints receivers. Saints receivers outmatched the Colts defensive backs in height and weight. This is the same problems Colts have when facing the Patriots and the Chargers. Taylor Mays had a poor seniorbowl but with the right coaching he will make an impact. He is perfect for the Colts because they emphasize speed and hard hitting. Bob Sanders gets injured too often. - Saints - Everson Griffen (DE)
The Saints need to improve their pass rush across Will Smith, and improve their run blocking. The LBs are also a need because their are free agents and they are getting old. But what a Superbowl they played!
BUFFALO BILLS MOCK DRAFT
1 - Anthony Davis (OT)
2 - Cam Thomas (NT)
Third best NT in the draft. Excellent performance at Senior Bowl. Have to move in 2nd to get him before the Lions or the Bucs decide to draft him.
TRADE - Buffalo trades their 2nd round 9th pick, and 4th round 8th pick for Rams 2nd round 1st pick.
2 - Sergio Kindle (DE/OLB)
Proper outside LB for our new 3-4 defense
Acquired from Bengals trade. 53rd overall pick.
3 - Eric Decker (WR) OR BPA
Possession receiver to compliment Evans. Very polished.
3 - Jason Veldheer (OT) OR BPA
Probably my favorite prospect in the draft. Massive size. Consistent. Athletic. Huge upside. Project player.
Acquired from Bengals trade. 85th overall pick.
5 - LeGarrette Blount (RB) OR BPA
Bulldozer RB that would compliment Fred Jackson. Made this pick with the mindset that Marshawn goes. Excellent seniorbowl.
5 - Ryan Perrilloux (QB) OR BPA
Athletic QB that fits Gailey's interests.
6 - BPA
7 - BPA
7 - BPA

Oh my goodness. I think you’ve completely misread this year’s OT class.
Buffalo Rumblings. On Twitter.
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. --Wayne Grezky" --Michael Scott
Bump Okung down. He’s much more Jason Smith than Jake Long. Yeah, I know Smith went No. 2 overall, but he stunk, and could continue to stink for a while. Okung is VASTLY overrated by the talking heads. Top 15 talent? Probably. Top 5? Not even close.
Davis grades out very similarly, if not slightly higher than, Okung. Bulaga is a close-ish third, with Campbell a potential-type guy that will drop because of his one-year wonder status and injury concerns. Williams and Brown are solid prospects; Brown should be a 20-30 guy, and Williams a 30-40 guy like Phil Loadholt.

It might elsewhere. Our scouting staff has already graded these guys, and we won’t be making major alterations. ‘Course, that doesn’t change the fact that guys will go higher/lower than they should…

Okung will go top 5 and you should be very happy if he falls to us. No way is Davis close to Okung and his work ethic is crap and he is over weight. He reminds me of the guy the cinci took last year at 6, wasn’t his name Davis as well?
No his name was Andre smith and he was way bigger than Davis... Acutually he was kind of a fat ass

You could be right – Okung could go top 5. That doesn’t mean the talent matches the draft position.

true but LT almost always go top 5 to top 10 just cuz of the position. It would be nice if he fell to us at 9 but knowing the front office they would pass on him and take a lesser talent like they did with the whole Orakpo/Maybin deal. Well now that we are running a 3-4 im not “as” mad about the maybin pick. Him in a 4-3 just made absolutely no sense but now the pick could turn out to be alright, time will tell
Meh
With Kindle it depends on the combine,if he excels there your right. If he’s just average there IMO he’s a late 2nd early 3rd rounder.
agreed
but i expect him to show up nice in shorts

Wow. I still can’t see the Bengals giving away so much. If we got an offer like that I’d jump at it.
Yeah, that’s the problem. It works points-wise, but there’s a reason why fans always think it’s such a great idea to move down and you only see one or two teams move out of a top 15 pick every year. Teams rarely want to move up because the cost is so high.
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
Which is why
some teams do multiple trade downs in the first round. One team will not be willing to give up that much, but if you trade down twice within the first round, then the incremental price in each trade will not be that high for the other team. I think the Browns traded down twice in the first round last year?
Bills fan half way around the world
Feedback
As Brian said, your read on the OT’s this year is off. Davis may be the best OT in the draft.
McCoy is too good to fall that far.
Tebow’s draft stock took a hit at the Senior Bowl. He’s a late first-early second prospect at this point.
Cody is far too high. He also took a hit at the Senior Bowl for his weight.
Kindle won’t fall to the second round.
Cam Thomas is too high. He might end up a 2nd rounder, though.
Veldheer played poorly this weekend and got exposed a bit.
Walter Football now has the Bills taking Cam Thomas at #11, at least someone agrees with me.
most of my posts get deleted :(
do they really?
Someone agrees with both of us haha :)

Could it be that some of us prefer Thomas over Cody? I know I do. Sure he didn’t do as much in college, but there aren’t as many weight issues or work ethic questions either.

LeGarrette Blount
Would they really get rid of “problem child” Lynch for a guy who cold-cocked a guy after a game?
Trample the weak, hurdle the dead!
I don't think Lynch's situation and Blount's are even comparable
One guy hit a person who was taunting him in the heat of the moment. The other is an idiot.
So punching another player when he’s not looking at you because he talked some trash after his team beat yours doesn’t make you a complete and total idiot?
Trample the weak, hurdle the dead!
Umm your acting like he waited 10 minutes came back and then coldclocked the dude
He hit him like 2 seconds after the guy was done running his mouth. While I’m not excusing it ,it is understandable for anyone who’s ever been in sports. Every once in awhile someone does something stupid. It’s when you make a pattern out of doing stupid things that you become an idiot.
So you’re saying because he’s in sports, it’s ok for him to punch someone talking a little trash? That shows a complete lack of discipline, and a complete lack of regard for how your idiotic actions might effect your teamates.
I’m not sure where you’re from, but in Rochester this year a guy playing for a semi-pro team hit a ref after a game with his helmet, completely destroying the guys face, because he didn’t like the outcome of the game. Is this ok too becuase he’s in sports?
Trample the weak, hurdle the dead!
Way to read everything I said.
i said I wasn’t excusing it. But I understood where he was coming from. I beat up my PG on the HS basketball team once. It wasn’t right ,and I got punished. But I never did it again. So does that make me a an idiot because I made 1 mistake? No it doesnt. Now after I had been punished I had gone back and continued to behave stupidly,and dangerously that would make me an idiot. My point is everyone is allowed 1 mistake. Were none of us perfect. ut that 1 mistake doesnt make you a bad person,or an idiot. Not learning from your mistakes does.
Ah
I was going to ask if you had done something similar. You can understand it because you’ve done something stupid like it before. Normal people can’t understand why you’d punch someone for talking trash. That’s called being weak, not having restraint, lacking discipline.
Now that I’ve got you good a riled up, I should add that yes, the guy does deserve a second chance. He’s young, dumb, and full of ….. My only suggestion was do you really replace a guy on your team who has made a couple of mistakes with another mistake prone guy, especially when there’s a draft full of guys who have a clean slate? That would be like replacing your Camry with a bad gas pedal with a Prius bad brake pedal, when you could go out and buy a good Honda or Nissan with no pedal issues.

I don’t know much about the college players, but I know there’s truth in that statement.
"You can put a baby in a crib with an apple and a rabbit. If it eats the rabbit and plays with the apple, I'll buy you a new car."
OK, so I tried digging up some info on him....
He repeatedly clashed with coach Mike Belotti. That earned him a suspension during the the first quarter of a November 2008 game.
After the season, he skipped a bunch of workouts. He was suspended indefinitely “for failure to fulfill team obligations”.
I actually thought he was in more trouble before. I couldn’t find that, so it looks like the workout issues and the punch were it. Not horrible, I suppose.
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Going “Ron Artest” after that one game is bad enough for me. A big difference between Blount and Artest is that Artest had the cup with ice thrown on him by a fan, Blount tried going into the stands because some jackass was running his mouth. That type of fan nonsense happens all the time. I’m not defending Artest. I just think his reaction is slightly more understandable.
I really hope Blount gets his head on straight,and gives himself a chance to have extended success in the NFL; but right now I’d put him in the same character risk category as Marshawn Lynch. Being suspended by the team is on him as a player. Coaches aren’t always free from blame in these situations, but typically if it’s the coahes fault(like the warden wannabe who imprisoned James’ kid) the punishment doesn’t translate to suspensions.
"You can put a baby in a crib with an apple and a rabbit. If it eats the rabbit and plays with the apple, I'll buy you a new car."
He is a knuckle head to the max… Just unable to deal emotional issues there were some more issues than any of will ever know. There was a lot of talk about his last off season and if was going to be able to deal with them and still preform on the field I guess the ducks found out pretty early that he couldn’t
by Circle The Wagon on Feb 10, 2010 1:39 PM EST up reply actions
Maybe Lynch and Blount could fight it out for the last spot. Blount has a mean punch but Lynch will most likely be packing. Of course Lynch will also be “impaired” and forget his piece in his car….could be a good fight.
No weekend spent pantsless is a wasted weekend.
Call me nuts but I don’t see it as out of the question if we get rid of Lynch. What is off is Blount going in the fifth. Despite his attitude I see him going somewhere in the first 3 rounds.

Interesting...
You put a lot of thought and effort into your selections—Touche!!! Your board will probably change at least 5x’s before the actual draft. Then when you think you have it figured out a team will make a surprise pick and throw every-one’s mock draft off.
I can’t see McCoy falling out of the top 5 and there are some that think he should be the no# 1 overall and Terrance Cody is a tub of lard that I see falling to the mid 2nd early 3rd round at best.
Personally, I pulling for the Bills to take McClain no#1, being a Gator fan and a SEC follower McClain looks like the next coming of Ray Lewis.

- Davis isn’t dropping to 21st overall, just no way, Bulaga maybe, Davis doubtful, also Trent wiliams over Davis is a no,no
- Bruce Campbell top 5 pick, yea i think not, top 15 maybe 8 to Oakland
- IDK about Tebow, Jacksonville is desperate, but I don’t know if they want to win or make fans happy
- There is just no way McCoy is dropping to #8. If he does fall someone will trade up for him, but no way he drops that far
- Everyone is starting to realize Cody is a overweight bum and he is gonna really drop
- Kindle dropping to 53rd overall is doubtful, i thin he goes 19th to ATL
- Witherspoon is being way overrated. He’s a late 1st round, early 2nd rounder, i’m thinking to the champs 1st round
- I think we could draft Cam Thomas with OUR 2nd rounder at 41st( but i do like that pick)
- I take Best over Dywer because i think Best is better and he’s a CAL boy, but i like the SD,RB pick
- OK i like the Blount pick, but not the QB pick, i’d much rather have someone like Canfeild, LeFouver, Snead, etc… Plus i think LeFouver is Gaileys guy because he’s a great thrower and rather mobile, plus size, and 4 year starter( i think)

Suggestion: hold off for a while. No need for a mock draft each week. No matter how much research you put into it, your goin got get most picks wrong.

Perilloux
You can have him. I sincerely hope there is a better player available and we do not draft this guy. He was too un-motivated and lazy to keep a scholarship at LSU where he had one of the premier starting QB jobs in the country. No thank you.
However, I do like the LeGarrette Blount pick. I was very interested in his story this season. He really put in the work to make it back on the team and the field late in the season. Not to mention, if he never punches that kid from BSU, he is probably a 1st or 2nd round pick right now.

Your Eric Berry Pick
I have no qualms with berry there, but when you list the elite safeties in the league you include Bob Sanders, which is complete crap. Bob Sanders had 1 or maybe 2 good seasons. and then your response would be injuries to defend him, pretty sure you cant be considered good if you dont help your team, he hasnt done anything in like 2 years because he is injury prone and not good

I'm Worried About Thomas...
Remember what happened last time we spent a high pick on an underachieving DT from the state of North Carolina?
His stats are not very impressive, something like 23 tackles, 3.5 for a loss and 0 sacks. I know his job is to occupy blockers, but still, that’s about 2 tackles a game.
I completely agree. I know he had a good senior bowl week, but I think Thomas in the 2nd round is a huge reach. He wasn’t productive in college and I didn’t think he stood out in any way watching UNC play. I watched the DL the whole game against Pitt to see Marvin Austin and Robert Quinn and Thomas looked really average to me. He is a big body that can eat up blocks, but I’m not sure he’ll ever be a good starter. I think he’s more of a 4th-5th round prospect. He was maybe the 5th or 6th best player on his own defense.

Don't buy it.
Especially with TO so clearly wanting to join Ocho Cinco in Cincy. Theres no way that the Bengals will trade up to us. And the extra second and third rounder is more then we’d get too.
And there is no way that Davis falls all the way to 21.

Good
I like the idea. It’d be a solid draft. I don’t see us trading down that far. Most of those pics seem unrealistic. I like the idea though
Pablo--no ripping here...
There are no right or wrongs when putting together a mock draft, strange things happen on draft day—-surprise picks, players dropping, trades etc etc. That’s the fun of doing the mocks…
I always wait until I get my Ourlad’s and the annual draft book from Pro Football Weekly to really start crunching my mock.
How many have spent time putting a mock together sit back and realize you missed a player that should go in the first round—-1 change can equal many! I’ve learned to put mine together while only consuming no more than 2 Molson’s anymore than 2 and I’m bound to have mistakes—-haaa!
'To get something you never had,
you have to do something you never did.'
Draft prognosticators got it completely wrong - last year!!!!
Bump Okung down. He’s much more Jason Smith than Jake Long. Yeah, I know Smith went No. 2 overall, but he stunk, and could continue to stink for a while. Okung is VASTLY overrated by the talking heads. Top 15 talent? Probably. Top 5? Not even close.
Davis grades out very similarly, if not slightly higher than, Okung. Bulaga is a close-ish third, with Campbell a potential-type guy that will drop because of his one-year wonder status and injury concerns. Williams and Brown are solid prospects; Brown should be a 20-30 guy, and Williams a 30-40 guy like Phil Loadholt.
(((((((((((((((((((((
Well then, Michael Oher looks like he has turned out to be the best offensive tackle in the draft, and will be much better than Jason Smith, Andre Smith, and Eugene Monroe!!!

Russell Okung has started 3 years, and only gave up one sack and two pressures all season. Secondly, he battled Orakpo to a draw in his junior season. Oklahoma State also led the Big-12 in rushing for 3 straight seasons.
I watch what they do on the field, instead of listening to the bobbleheads of draft prognostication!!!!!!!!!
We will see – Nobody knows who will be a bust or star at any position – Can you say Mike Williams!
We didn’t grade scouts here last year, but I had Oher rated very highly. Not as the best OT (had Davis there), but highly.
Okung had a very stellar college career, there’s zero doubt to that. That doesn’t automatically qualify him as a Top 5 selection or a sure bet, though I think he’s pretty close.

Some of us had Oher at 11...haha

Don't discount Eugene Monroe like that
After a disastrous start to his career, he became a very, very good LT for Jacksonville this year. Oher played RT all season, so there’s no guarantee he ever becomes a LT for the Ravens, or as good of one as Monroe has already become.
Jason Smith played half the season before getting shut down due to concussions. That’s a major concern, but you can’t take an injury shortened rookie year and declare him a bust (I know you didn’t, but you said he will continue to stink).

Boy Scouts or Scouting Staff?
It might elsewhere. Our scouting staff has already graded these guys, and we won’t be making major alterations. ‘Course, that doesn’t change the fact that guys will go higher/lower than they should
(((((((((((((((((((((
Considering how our scouting staff has done for the past 10 years, that makes me real optimistic………..
LOL. I meant our scouting staff, as in Der Jaeger, kaisertown and myself. :P

I don't know about anyone else here,
but i’m hopeful that the Pats don’t land Gresham. I don’t know how you’d stop a Brady/Moss/Welker/Gresham faction.

Justification
1st – I’ll wait a lil while till I post another Mock Draft…..but I do enjoy writing as its a good break from my other work.
JUSTIFICATION
3 – Most drafts have McCoy taken here. He is an incredible player. But in their division they have to select Eric Berry. He is an absolutely special player. One of a kind ball hawk. Excellent instincts. So I still stick with Eric Berry.
6 – I could see the Seahawks take McCoy here. But the last 3 years have proved that franchise QBs are a must for success. Flacco, Stafford (will pay dividends), Sanchez, Ryan…Clausen will have a perfect teacher in Pete Carrol. Clausen is either really good, or a complete bust and given the right situation he will be successful.
9 – It is a lot to give up for one player. Last year the Jets gave up a lot to get the player they wanted…Mark Sanchez. And there other pick was Shane Green. Look how that has paid off. The Bengals need the extra swagger and need that one extra threat to move that much further in the playoffs. Don’t forget they won their division, and Mike Zimmerman is returning on defense. So they take the best WR in the draft.
The Jets gave up very little last year
They moved from 17th to 5th for a 2nd rounder and some spare parts. That’s pretty cheap and the Browns were widely criticized for not getting more.

Justification
Whoops hit the post button too early
JUSTIFICATION
10 – I absolutely agree that Tebow does not belong here. But all it takes is one team to fall in love with him. And the Jaguars are in a financial crisis. It is furthered by the labor problems, and the probability of a black out in 2011. Jaguars are also a team that are mentioned when people talk about moving franchises. Tebow sells tickets. Tebow’s intangibles cannot be valued by a pick. The Jags will snag him and make sure no one else has a chance to. He has tremendous upside.
14 – Maybe Davis deserves to be here or maybe even higher. The issue I have with Davis is two fold. One is concerns over his work ethic. And two is concerns over his weight which at times have been high. But if those two can be eliminated than yea, he is the top tackle. But those are two very big concerns. I.E. Mike Williams
17 – 49ers have a need at RT, not LT. And most scouts – ESPN, Scoutsinc, Sportsline, Foxsports, ext ext have Williams rated as the best RT. So that is why I have been chosen before the other tackles.
18 – Steelers have an aging defensive line which was their biggest concern. But they have depth at the DE positions, two young and talented positions. Yea, Cody draft fell at the senior bowl. But he is such an impact player. And if coached by Dick LeBeau, you don’t see this pick working out?
21 – If the Bills don’t get Davis they get Bulaga or Charles….I’m not upset with that.
28 – Chargers need an all purpose back, even with NT a need. They can wait later.
BUFFALO
1 – The reason I have the Bills moving up is because of my first round pics. Both the bucks and the Lions will target a DT in the second round. Bills don’t take a chance to loose an excellent NT.
2 – I could care less about Perrileoux. It was just a thought. I’m inclined for the Bills to draft a franchise QB next year.
3 – Maybe Blount will move up, but he is rated to go in the 4-5 rounds, so according to research thats where I placed him. I’m sure he will move up.
See you in a couple weeks!
Thought about Tebow
And it’s from a pure marketing angle. The Senior Bowl crowds for South practices and the actual game were as big as they ever have been. Jacksonville’s marketing/ticket sales would go through the roof if they drafted Tebow. With LA knocking on the door, Tebow might be the only way for Jacksonville to hang on in the North Florida area.
From Buffalo’s point of view, wouldn’t it make sense to take Tebow strictly for marketing? Not that Buffalo would get the fans from North Florida, but that Jacksonville’s last good chance would be gone.
Imagine this scenario: Buffalo and Jacksonville know that they are both LA targets. Buffalo acquires a QB through trade or UFA as the immediate starter. Buffalo then selects Tebow as the long-term project QB. It almost guarentees that Buffalo will be more viable for the short-term in the WNY/Ontario area than Jacksonville is in South Georgia and North Florida.
Nix may take him way too high, but from a marketing mindset looking at survival, taking Tebow away from Jacksonville makes a lot of sense.
Haven't commented on the mock yet....
so here we go….
If the Bills could pull off a trade like that, I think we’d all be thrilled. A rebuilding team that can acquire an additional 2nd and 3rd and still have the 21st pick? That’d be great. However, even though it matches up point-wise, it’s probably unlikely to happen. I kind of agree why Cincy might want to make that trade, but might it be smarter for them to try trading a 2nd for Brandon Marshall or sign TO? That’s giving up their entire draft, essentially, for a WR. That’s a tough deal to agree to for Cincy, IMO. I think a deal could be struck for their 2nd and say, a 6th or future pick, if something were to occur.
I guess I’m missing out on the Cam Thomas love. Why all of a sudden is this guy such a hot commodity? A week of solid practices doesn’t make up for 4 years or mediocre production. He was surrounded by a lot of talented defenders at UNC and still never really did a whole lot. We heard similar when McCargo was coming out. To me, Thomas looks like a solid backup prospect, a midrounder. Not a guy you reach for in round 2 and plug into your new 3-4 defense. His size and strength obviously make him an intriguing prospect, but I think he has more question marks than answers to be taken that early.
Kindle will be going much higher after he works out. I’d love to add a guy like him at that spot though, but it just doesn’t seem likely.
Decker will be a nice pro. You could do worse with that pick.
Veldheer is definitely an intriguing prospect and might be worth a selection there. He was exposed a bit in the Texas vs Nation game/practices, so he has a ways to go. With an extra 2nd and 3rd rounder, that’s a pick worth making at that point. He could become a very good pro as the measurables and athleticism is there.
I think Blount ends up going a little higher come April. If Lynch goes, what do you think we’ll get in return? If we want a power runner, Blount could really be that guy…
Perriloux is a UDFA in my book. I wouldn’t touch that guy with a draft pick.

Thomas
I think Thomas is going to rise because of the demand for NT’s and lack of supply. He’s a prime candidate, IMO, to be drafted a lot higher than his grade warrants.
