Dream Draft...(in realistic terms)

Its somewhat realistic…I could have easily said Blackmon and sounded like a total douche, but Streeter, Jordan White, Sanu, Toon, etc. will be our receiver options in the 3rd. Kendall Wright wed have to trade into the second for if he doesn’t go in the first.

Just watched some of his game tape and came out pretty impressed. I just don’t like him at #10. I think that’s just too early for an OLB in a year that is loaded with LB talent.

I would be pretty upset taking Irvin. He has incredible athletic ability, but he is useless other than in pass rush. I’m not even confident he will be very good in the pass rush because of his size

Kendall Wright will likely go 1st round

but Upshaw doesn’t seem like a top 10 pick yet. And Wright is not going to be there in the 3rd. More likely a guy like streeter. But same idea.

And there is no way Wright will be there in the 3rd

I got a bit ahead of myself with the Wright pick but I love the way he plays…Streeter is a realistic and real nice pick for our system…Irvin will climp up boards as we don’t have combine numbers to go by yet…I love Melvin Ingram though and would love the Bills to snag Upshaw and Ingram.

Im a big Streeter fan myself. I think Andrew Datko might be a guy we look at in the 3rd or 4th as well

you call him MArcus Streeter in your analysis section.

I added 4th-5th round picks…feel free to comment and give your input

but I don’t see the Bills taking an ILB this year in the draft. They still have Barnett,Sheppard,Morrison, and White on the roster.

I don’t think Irvin’s going to be there in the second. He’s a good fit for Buffalo’s Jack OLB spot. Irvin played out of position at end in West Virginia’s 3-3-5 defense, and has shown he can play the run a bit. But he’s mostly an edge rusher, and probably an OLB only. When I saw Irvin play, I thought “hey, it’s like Maybin had a younger brother than could actually play.” Again, I don’t think he’s a Bill unless Buffalo trades up.

I’m OK with Curry in the 2nd. He’s a DE only from what I’ve seen, and would have to play Kelsay’s spot.

I’m into stacking pass rushers throughout this draft. Some guys I like: Chandler Jones, Syracuse; Cam Johnson, Virginia; Malik Jackson, Tennessee.

If it were me, my draft would look like this:

1st: the player who shall not be named
2nd: Curry or Jones
3rd: Streeter
4th: Johnson
4th: Jackson
5h: De’Quan Menzie, CB, Alabama

You definitely understand what this teams needs are and are realistic! All of this talk about drafting a QB makes no sense, especially when Luck and RG3 are gone.

We need to get some linebackers if we go with a 3:4, as well as get a pass-rush!

I definitely think this is right on regarding addressing the teams needs. I also like taking Russell Wilson in the 5th round.

I would not say that Upshaw has top notch size. He is supposedly 6 foot 2 inches and 245 lbs. These guys tend to come to the combine shorter and lighter than expected. I think upshaw is the popular name around here mainly because of being popular in blogs and his performance in the national championship. He is an ok all arounnd player he is not the dominant pass rusher that he is made out to be and is not big enough to consitently fight offensive tackles in the nfl imo. He will struggle to contain the run. His ceiling is around a slightly more talented kelsey. Thats not someone I want with the 10th pick in the draft. His biggest asset is his strength something that does not mean as much at this level. In college you can dominate on being the strongest player on the field. In the nfl the guy lining up across from you is likely to be just as strong as you are. I would considered Upshaw to not even be the most talented linebacker at alabama in the draft this year. In my opinion that would be Hightower. Buffalo has enough holes to take who ever the bpa is in the draft at ten as long as thats not a runningback. We could take a offensive tackle like Jonathin Martin Stanford. We could take the best avaible de or olb. We could take a qb. We could take a corner. We could even take a reciever. We have enough holes that I think the upshaw pick would be one bufffalo fans tend to hold against a player for not living up to his draft status.

Do we reach for a player like Melvin Ingram or Zachary Brown? Or pray that Kirkpatrick falls to us and draft a pass rusher in the 2nd?

Hightower at 10 is more realistic than upshaw. Nix wants tall olbs upshaw is not that nor is he worthy of a 10 nix will go elite no matter the position decastro, kirpatrick,claiborne,hightower elite upshaw not so much

Reminds me of Aldon Smith

HAs the size Nix covets and could play both 43 and 34

Better as a 43, wich i like

I do not want Seneca Wallace 2.0 trying to develop into a starting QB. Idk maybe I am wrong. But I just commented on another post that I cannot see him playing behind our huge OL. Someone said he could play solely in the spread, but I think it is pretty clear to be an elite QB you need to be able to play QB under center. If we draft a QB we have to believe he can eventually become elite, not be a good back up. I would rather draft a guy to develop with all of the physical traits who needs to be taught the position. and needs to sit for 3 years.

Also the 4th round pick is too early for an ILB. I think they need to take one, maybe a little later. But as we have seen this year our 4th round picks are going to make an impact. So I would rather take a CB then. But I do like the idea of taking an OT there for depth and overall competition

Then Id take Hightower or Burfict in the 2nd :) Just sayin.

That it is correctly weighted to the defense. You have to take the best player, yes, but you have to get into the right position to get your needs met. We need pass rushers.
I also think we need better pass-rush, blitz run coaching…..

Ps- taking Bamako players is usually a good idea….but I really don’t know.
