Full 7 round Mock draft
There has been a lot of negative talk because of the blls latest performances. We need something positive to talk about and nothing positive is coming out of one bills drive . So I figured it was time for a mock draft if just to give us something else to talk about besides Donald Jones and edwards. Buffalo has 9 draft picks coming upin 2012 thanks to the marshawn lych and lee evans trade. The lynch trade offer us a conditional draft pick from seattle. It is most likly going to be a 6th round draft pick. If lynch meets certain performance bench marks right now we will assume he does not meet those bench marks. The lee evans trade landed us a fourth round pick from the baltimore ravens. Right now buffalo's power rankings are around 17 and 16 so we will use that as them picking in the middle of the round except for their traded picks My selections will come after the jump. Please remember I also have to go with guys where I can find them ranked and, at this point in the season that is hard to tell.
Round 1: Robert Griffin III QB Baylor height: 6-2 weight: 220
alternate selections: Courtney Upshaw olb alabama
Robert Griffin is the arguably the best athelte at quarterback this year. Griffin has the arm to make all the throws you need of him at the nfl level. He has had great decision making skills his carear touchdowns to interception ratio is 41-11. He has great escapabilty when the pocket breaks down. He was looked at as a run first quarterback until this year. Where he has shown he would rather throw the ball after he escapes then immediatly run down the field. He does this by keeping his eyes up field until he has to run with the ball. He is also a smart person being a Six-time member of Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll and two-time Dean's List honoree. He also graduated from Baylor in December 2010 with a degree in political science three years after enrolling at Baylor. Robert Griffin is the exact type of quarterback I believe gailey would love to have. Robert would also be able to sit behind Fitzpatrick and learn and grow as a quarterback for up to three years before he has to start for the buffalo bills.
Round 2: Vinny Cury DE Marshall height: 6-2 weight: 276
alternate selection: chase minniefield cb viriginia
Every one and there mother knows buffalo needs help in the pash rush department. This years class of pass rushers leads alot to be desired as a group. In the mid second round buffalo should be glad if vinny curry is still there to be picked up. While I have not seen curry in a game myself only some highlights. He is boasted as being fast of the ball and strong at the point of attack. He is still raw and needs to be developed. He is listed as having a smalll rushing reptoire. He has alot of pontetial and could be have a great future ahead of him in buffalo. His height and weight vary from site to site so we will have to see how he measures out during the combine.
Round 3 Kendall Wright WR Baylor height:5-10 weight:190
alternate selection: Ronell Lewis olb oklahoma
Kendall makes alot of sense for the bills even if they do not pick robert griffin. Kendall adds an element to the bills passing game that we are truly missing an actual deep threat. He is not the huge wide out the bills tipically go far but good luck finding a 6 foot wide out weighing 220 with 4.4 speed epsecially in the third round. He has relaible hands and he does not slow down when changing direction. He makes is great at making moves in the open field. If we did select robert griffin we would of just reunited what was a great connection at bayor. In three years when robert griffin is ready to start kendall wright would be entering what is most wide outs break out year.
Round 4 Stephen Gilmore CB South Carolina height: 6-1 weight: 193
alterante selection: Coryell Judie cb Texas a&m
Stephen gilmore is a big corner who is good against the run. He also has big play abilty and has improved his ball hawking skills. He is big but thought to be a little slow having a projected 40 time of in the 4.5 area. He is smart which is something that can be useful in your corners. He has also been successfull at jamming his man when he is asked to.
Round 4 (lee evans trade) Coby Fleener TE Stanford height: 6-6 weight 247
Alternate selection: Ladarius Green Te La-Lafayette
Coby is a well rounded tight end which is what gailey likes to have. Coby is a good route runner and is good at working the middle of the field. He is also a good run blocker. He could be the second tight end buffalo needs to go back to a more traditional offense.
Round 5 Kyle Wilbur DE/OLB Wake Forest height 6-4 weight: 246
alternate selection: Dareus Nall DE/olb Central Florida
Kyle had 65 tackles last year with 14.5 going for a loss. He also had 6 sacks and was tied for second in the acc for forced fumbles. He needs to add some bulk but at this point in the draft that is ok and can sometimes can be expected. He is coming off a leg injury this season. Kyle is never going to be a very dominant game changing pass rusher. He should be able to develop into a good depth player who could possibly start in the future. He is a consistant player that when he bulks up could be a good consistent player for buffalo
Round 6(lynch trade): Brandon Boykin CB Georgia height: 5-10 weight: 183
alternate selection: Leonard Johnson CB Iowa
Brandon is hard to project you can find him projected in the third round all the way down to the sixth round. brandon is a smaller corner but is fast and has good hands. He returns kicks and punts and is consider a home run threat when he does. He is sometimes avoided in games to do his excellent coerage on wide recievers. He is not going to excell against the run because he is to small and is not asked to defend the run in georgia. He does do just about everything else for georgia though.
Round 6: Danny Coale WR Viriginia tech height:6-0 weight: 200
alternate selection: Antoine Mclain OG Clemson
Danny would be a good late round flyer for the bills. He has the size buffalo wants in a wide reciever but, he is also fast espescially for his size. he has a 40 time projected in the low 4.4s. He has not been the ost productive reciever but does tend to come through in clutch situations.
Round 7: Mike Ryan OT Connecticut height: 6-5 weight: 335
alternate selection: David Pickard ot Southern illinois
there is not much to this pick just a lae round flyer on an offensive linemen with good size. He is headed for the practice squad.
Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

Not so sure about that right now he is a top 15 prospect and with 3 guys likly being picked ahead of him. He could fall out of top ten. Philli has vick, titans have jake locker , rams brahdford, panthers cam newton, vikings ponder. I have buffalo picking 16 theres lots of top ten talent and plenty of teams that will be top ten and fifteen have recently picked qbs.

I guarantee the Eagles draft a QB. Vick isn’t young any more and for him to be getting hit as he has, he won’t last much longer. That team needs to have a plan in place and i’m not sure they’re willing to risk that plan on Vince Young.

Vick just got huge contract and they like to pick in lower rounds and develop guys.

absolutely. unless the bills lose out…
either way there is absolutely no way in hell the bills take a QB in the first round of 2012. nothing short of miraculous (like luck falling to them) would make that come about

If buffalo is at 16 projecting robert griffin is not a huge drop. I like one or two spots. He is not currently ranked a top ten he is a top 15 and projected in the 11-15 area.

at this point last year cam newton was barely in the discussion as a first round pick. RGIIIs stock is a whole lot higher with NFL teams right now than it is with draftniks. believe it
Thats a terrible example boomsauce. Until this point last season cam newton was not on most scouts radars. He was an unknown coming into the season.

i like your draft, but some thoughts...
1- I would love if we draft RGIII, but i don’t see Nix/Chan drafting a QB with our 1st round pick after give this contract to Fitz. I think we will need to wait until 2013 to finally draft a QB early. Also, i think RGIII will not declare for this draft, and will be the 1st overall pick in 2013.
2- Kendall Wright. I like the guy, especially with Griffin, but they will draft a big guy. See the Charges wide outs. I think Juron Criner or the guy from Appalachian State, Quick, like options who Nix will look for.
3- Stephen Gilmore. I don’t see he falling to 4th round. Some mocks have him in the 1st.
by Fernando brazil on Nov 17, 2011 12:54 PM EST reply actions
I have not seen him in the first highest I have seen is fourth and usually the sixth. His round projection is crazy. They will if one they like is their fitz contract is made for drafting a qb. His guarenteed money is gone in three years waiting till next season would make no sense if your planning on letting a guy sit three years. I know he does not fit size if you read about the pick I state that. He is a true deep threat that this offense needs. Quick can stretch a defense but is not a true deep threat. Juron crier not on my list of guys I know anything about.

Except our one positive is 30+ year old running back who wants a new contract. He makes me feel warm and fuzzy now, but not as much about our future at the position. Though maybe he can be Curtis Martin 2.0. I hope so.
I have low expectations. But high hopes.

i cant see RGIII falling to them. and nor can i see them taking a QB.
i like vinny curry a great deal, dunno if he falls that far tho. weak class for pass rushers and i think hes in a small cluster of players vying for the best of the group
corners with gilmore’s skill set typically dont slide to the 4th round. hes not exactly pro ready but hes very athletic, plays hard, and has a natural feel for the CB position.
id like some of these players becoming bills, but i think were dreaming with a couple of the picks
Like I stated it I am going with there currently ranked . I am not making projections myself and it can be hard to tell where a guy is going at this point.

Have you seen Buffalo Defense??
Its atrocious. If buffalo was gonna pick an offensive player in the 1st, I’d want it to be Justin Blackmon. They need a pass rusher.
Twitter @J_Clark_1989
Yah good luck getting blackmon out of the top 5. I think his name is ashlon jeffery of south carolina is gonna go high also potenrially. He has produced despite having no one at qb.

RD 1 no way we select a QB. Fitz’s contract should be a clear explanation why. IF you somehow don’t agree, prepare to be disappointed. We aren’t concerned with developing anyone else, because Chan believes he has 3 potential starters on his roster RIGHT NOW. Even though he is wrong. RD 1 will be a pass rusher, and OT, or CB/WR should there not be a rusher still available, or an OT is a reach.
RD 2 We NEED to address pass rush, if we could not in round one, we HAVE to now. If we did, then we look offensive line.
RD 3 We need man corners. we probably only have one in Aaron Williams. McGee is losing his speed, Drayton already lost his, and McKelvin has demonstrated that speed alone won’t get you there. a degree of mental sharpness and edge he has lacked will find him cut or depth.
RD 4 i don’t know why we would try to guess this deep into next years draft already, but if we did… look for a WR if we haven’t selected one.. especially if Easley is not returning.
RD 5 OLINE/LB
RD 6LB/OLINE
RD 7 If i had to guess, which is all this is, i would consider another Safety, as Wilson and Scott are aging, Searcy has proven effective, and Byrd is entrenched at this point, yet still undersized, and so we really have little depth here, though it might appear otherwise.
ABAYARDE IS NOSTRADAMUS JUST WATCH WE WILL NOT YIEALD TO NOBODY YOUR SOUL WE WILL TAKE
I like RG3, but we got to many problems else where to drafting a QB in the 1st this year. With the weak OLB class i saw take one at the top because it will go down high fast. then i like CB in 2nd happy with either Hayward or minniefield. TE i think luck makes Fleener look better than he is receiving but could be wrong(not a pro). I see the Wr class changing a ton once season ends and they are measured and actual 40s times come out.
he’s mine:
1st-Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB, Alabama
2nd-Casey Hayward, CB, Vanderbilt
3rd-Marvin McNutt, WR, Iowa or WR Brian Quick-Appalachian State
4th-Matt McCants, OT, UAB
4th-Drake Dunsmore, TE, Northwestern
5th-Tashaun Gipson, CB, Wyoming
6th-Antoine McClain, G, Clemson
6th-Darius Fleming, OLB, Notre Dame
7th-Dan Persa, QB, Northwestern

UYah things change a ton for us once the combine ends. We get better projection while we are just catching up to the scouts.

Fitz Contract
I doubt the Bills are going to be drafting a QB in the first round after shelling out $60 million to Fitz!
This team still needs to build up the defense and I think you should have your alternate pick, Courtney Upshaw, as the pick – Need someone to rush the QB bigtime, similar to how the Steelers built their defense. We have our Casey Hampton, now it is time to get our Lamarr Woodley. And the more of a pass rush, the more it covers up for weak corners.
I don't see why people keep saying there's no chance we draft a QB
This team does need a QB. I definitately agree pass rushing OLB is the biggest need, but if there is a guy that can be our QB for the next 10 years, ya gotta pull the trigger
Is this your homework, Larry?
Plus people keep failing to realize I am sorry one god damn thing over and over. Buffalo has only dished out 33 million not 60 million. He only has 33 million guarenteed that is all up in the first three years of his contract. That was done for a reason. It allows them to draft a qb and in three years if he can not be tradef he can be cut for no more cost to buffalo. Let me repeat that no cost. Of course gailey says this is my man. Whats he gonna say he is my man till I find a guy I want to draft. Yah sure he is gonna say that all right.

the contract is designed as though he will be the starter for 3-4 years, and then groom or hold a clipboard the next 2-3.
Which means, the likelihood of selecting one in the first round is practically out of the question. Practically all of the first round selected QBs are starting now (Locker being the only exception) and even Dalton who was taken in the second is a starter. We just aren’t using our first pick on anything but our biggest need, which is either OL/OLB/WR/CB. Facts.

If the right guy is available
The Bills will draft a QB in the 1st round
Yeah I agree. They are clearly extrememly particular abou drafting a QB, so if they actually see someone they like they will do it. But odds are based on the last two drafts, they won’t.
I have low expectations. But high hopes.

yea he is amazing.
i wanted the Bills to get him before they signed fitz, a couple days ago i think i said no way this team drafts a QB. but if we can get him, i think we have to draft him. I think he is better than Jones and Barkley. So i doubt he will be available. But man, he is like michael vick ,only faster, and a 10x better passer….
