My Mock 3.0
My mock has again changed considerably this time. I am going to get right into it.
#10. Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama, 6'2, 192 lb
http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/profile_display.cfm?prospect_id=2881
The bills interest in Stanford Routt shows they consider CB a big priority in the offseason. Routt, obviously, paid a customary visit to Bills and said all the nice things. I am sure he has no intention to come here. That makes me believe the bills will be open to go for a #1 CB in the draft, especially since Dre will be the BPA as well at no.10. I dont think a pass rusher has risen enough yet convincingly to warrant the 10th overall pick. Plus, we get another Alabama product.
Dre is the exact type of CB Nix looks for. Tall and room to become big. above average speed. phyical player. and excellent against the run.
#41. Bobby Massie, LT, Ole Miss, 6'6, 325 lbs, 5.17 40 time.
http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/profile_display.cfm?prospect_id=3122
I have been drafting massie in the 3rd round. I have bumped him up to 2nd round for this mock as he is expected to rise. The only reason he is in the 2nd round is because he declared early. He would have been a sure 1st round pick if he stayed in school. He could be Nix's marcus mcneill, who was a 2nd round pick as well.
#72. Cam Johnson, DE, Virginia, 6'4, 267 lbs
http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/profile_display.cfm?prospect_id=2940
Cam has excellent athletic ability to be a great pass rusher. His lack of production might be because of a scheme change in school. But because of that he has played both 3-4 OLB and 4-3 DE which fits what we want. And he fits Nix's prototype for a pass rusher. I think he is good value for 3rd round.
4a. Quintin Saulsberry, C, mississippi state, 6'3, 302 lb
http://www.fanaticalfootballfiend.com/3/post/2012/1/fanatical-football-fiends-quentin-saulsberry-2012-nfl-draft-scouting-report.html
We need a good center as backup due to wood's injury proneness. Saulsberry has the potential to develop into a good backup.
4b. Marvin McNutt, WR, Iowa, 6'3, 216 lb, 4.52 40 time.
http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/profile_display.cfm?prospect_id=3006
McNutt would fit as a bill perfectly. The report explains it all. We need a no.2 who is big and physical. Good value in the 4th round.
5a. Jake Bequette, DE, Arkansas, 6'5, 264 lbs
http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/profile_display.cfm?prospect_id=2969
Here we draft another pass rusher in this draft. Bequette is great value in the 5th round. He has good upside. At worst he can be our Dave Tollefson.
With him our defensive ends will be merriman, kelsay, cam johnson, moats and bequette. We cut danny batten who has shown nothing. If merriman goes on IR then we bring back batten or eddins.
5b. Jeff Fuller, WR, Texas A&M, 6'4, 217 lb, 4.52 40 time
http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/profile_display.cfm?prospect_id=2889
Another big receiver for us. Fuller has fallen off in board a bit. He doesnt seem interested and is inconsistent. But his size and college experience makes it a good value in the 5th round. Maybe falling to the 5th triggers him.
rd 6. Chad Diehl, FB, Clemson, 6'2, 257 lbs
http://www.fanaticalfootballfiend.com/3/category/diehl%20chad6d34a36c57/1.html
Here we bring competition to fullback position since mcintyre's contract is expiring after this year. Diehl reunites with spiller. He has the size of a linebacker and will matchup physically well.
rd 7. Devon Wylie, WR, Fresno State, 5'9, 186 lbs, 4.38 40 time
http://nflsfuture.com/2012/01/25/devon-wylie-scouting-report/
Wylie is the same height and has the same 40 time as parrish. But he is 10 lbs heavier than parrish which might help him against physical defenders. He brings the deep speed our WR coach was talking about. He has durability issues because of which he fell. Otherwise he would have been a 3rd or 4th round prospect. Can be great value if he overcomes injury issues.
I went with 3 receivers as I think we are really weak there. These 3 bring both big size and deep speed to our group. Clowney and wylie will make the team in the slot. stevie will be our #1. 3 out of these 4 will also make it: hagan, nelson, mcnutt, fuller. easley, jones and roosevelt will be let go.
What do you guys think?
Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

Wow nice job
Besides the fuller pick I wouldn’t change a thing and I think that you addressed all of the needs that Buddy will address(cb, de x2, #2 wr, slot wr, and oline depth)

I like the idea
all besides the Center pick. and FB. If we aren’t taking a DE in the 1st two rounds we need to take 2 in the next 3 picks. Also I would like to see us pick up a safety in the draft and i think Corey Mac is good. I think Kirkpatrick wouldn’t be a bad pick but I am not sure if he is worth a top 10 pick, maybe he will be but there seems to be better value with other players possibly. Although #10 seems to be a tough spot for value.
With the 10th Pick in the 2012 NFL Draft the Buffalo Bills select Dont'a Hightower LB Alabama.
I don't want to take another corner so high
His Marijuana issue will also allow him not to be in Buffalo, and I am fine with that

the top 10
Could shake out a few ways but I’m not sure kirpatrick will be a bpa possibility.
If coples is gone, I would be tempted to take Floyd to help out stevie.
Having Williams and Darius will improve the pass rush. A guy like curry can be had in the second round.

Floyd and Curry top my mock. with hightower as a propose alternate in the second. too bad for us, that after next week, Curry and Hightower aren’t available in the second.

There will be a good pass rusher available at 2
Or we could be smart and make some moves to get back in the 1st
Having 2 4ths and 2 5ths should allow us to package something

possibly.
but Nix has shown an affinity for finding players even in those rounds, and so the move upward would have to be for a significant talent, since we need so much depth.

pass rusher
i think that a pass rusher is a need in the first two rounds plus i wouldnt mind us grabbing a linebacker somewhere in the middle rounds, Urbik can always fill in for center if Wood gets injured. but i like the reciever picks and even though CHIX will never pick Kirpatrick for his “problems” he would be nice to have.

I have other idea but I like your mock draft thoughts
Your ideas are well thought-out and succinctly stated. I have some different opinions but you know what those are like…
Round 1: RDE Whitney Mercilus
Round 2: QB Brock Osweiler
Round 3: OLB Shea McClellin
Round 4: WR Ryan Broyles
Round 4: OT Nate Potter
Round 5: TE Michael Egnew
Round 5: CB Micah Pellerin
Round 6: C Garth Gerhart
Round 7: WLB Sammy Brown
b+
I wouldnt mind this draft at all..we all know the bills could use a shut down corner..and ilike the massie pick and am really excited to what Cam Johnson can do in the nfl..however i gave it a B+ cuz there is no OLB taken..(in my humble opinion, Buffalo has no one to man the SAM on its current roster) and also i think the fourth round is way to high to get a developemental..I would rather snag another Corner,or pass rusher..BUt overall if the Bills drafted this way and signed a good veteran SAM Backer i think we could be in great shape
I dont Know Joe, Even if the Jets were Battling Hitler for control of the free world..i still probably wouldn't root for the Jets
Developemental Center*

Saulsberry is the only pick I’m not fond of. To me if you’re spending a 4th rounder on a Pivot you want more than “could develop into a decent backup”. You want a guy who will start as a good backup and potentially push to be a fringe starter in a couple of years. Value on C on a lot lower than the tackle position. I agree we need a backup C – it’s just too early for a guy like that.
Really really good Mock otherwise, lots of great picks which make a whole lot of sense.
