[BeastMode Deep]

At least we're consistent

[Carl J. Ironsides]

Bills will end up picking anywhere from 1-4.

[Chewbacher]

Doesn't it seem it should be earlier than eighth? They will get there...

[Callaway]

At least we're consistent


Good call

the real crime is that pitt gets to pick as high as they do.

[Bflojohn]

Talk about a serious problem, try Arizona! If they cannot find a trade partner, who in the world do they draft? They won't take Brady Quinn, and Calvin Johnson surely isn't a position of need (WR). Do they swallow hard and make Joe Thomas the 1st overall selection? WOW, they better win down the stretch or there will be BIG TROUBLE!!

[bullfrog1]

Arizona could always trade with buffalo?

they should be able to find a trade partner. Unless they think they are going to get the same kind of deals that SD got for vick, and they got for manning. I don't think any team is going to pony up picks like that for johnson(best player) or quinn(maybe best qb, but I don't think so.)

arizona desperately needs to protect its investment in leinart and they would more than likely try to trade down, and if they weren't too greedy they could get the third pick and still get thomas, while adding perhaps a extra third, and second int he next draft.

There is just not one single player in this draft that warrants switching first's picking up an extra second, or third this year and an extra first plus at least a 4th next year.

Like I said I think they can pick up an extra second or third this year and second next year to move down 1 or 2 spots.

[emo]

though looking at the order as it stands now they may have no choice but to stay at 1 and take thomas as he could be a hot commodity for miami and for detroit.

(courtesy of Great North Draft report)

(1) Denver and Washington could flip-flop picks depending on how far they are apart to complete multi-player deal with Atlanta.

Players that might be available...


7. Quinn Pitcock Sr. DT Ohio St.
Great in the run game at taking up space.
8. Kenny Irons Sr. RB Auburn
Very strong for his size; missed time with injuries.
9. Marcus Thomas Sr. DT Florida
Quick as a cat and very athletic interior lineman.
10. Drew Stanton Sr. QB Michigan St.
Has all the intangibles you want in a QB.
11. Levi Brown Sr. OT Penn St.
Reliable at protecting his QB's blind side.
12. Ray McDonald Sr. DE Florida
Versatile player who has remained healthy.
13. Joe Staley Sr. LT Central Michigan
Former TE who has great footwork and athleticism.
14. Buster Davis Sr. LB Florida State
Rock-solid player who is a shorter version of Ray Lewis.
15. Marcus McCauley Sr. CB Fresno St.
Great speed (4.33 40) with solid coverage skills.
16. Quentin Moses Sr. DE Georgia
Explosive pass rusher coming off the edge.
17. DeMarcus Tyler Sr. DT NC State
A quick and powerful player who's on the rise.

(according to Kiper's big board)


Doesn't it seem strange that the lowest 12 teams have played such tough schedules so far and the top 3 teams have played ridiculously weak schedules

Pittsburgh won the SB and have a combined opponents W-L% of .522, while the Bills were 5-11 and there opponents so far have a combined .544%.

[ddpderek]

ehh this will all change come drfat time players will fly up and down the board


I hope the Bills can get Calvin Johnson but thats just me.

First and for most tho this is the hlaf point of the year we still got a shot at 11-5 Go Bills!

Tank Tyler, he is even better than Johny Mc.

[billsfan5121]

All of our suffering and all we get is 11? As bad as we've played, I would have figured top 5. Hard to believe 10 other teams being worse than us.

First Round Projection:http://www.gbnreport.com/2007projection.html

If we take freaking Pitcock with Sam Baker on the board I'm stealing Marvs depends......

Pitcock has WAY to many questionmarks for me to play on Sunday.... you take a difference maker for the DL at this point, not another guy in the rotation.

[camcool21]

I think bills go .500 and pick in the middle of the draft by years end

17.) Buffalo Bills -Paul Posluszney LB Penn State

keeping the hard noised white LB trend going for the number 17 spot.

[TheAnswer74]

There is no reason for draft talk until Justin Blaylock is off the board. The Bills will draft Blaylock.

While I agree that he'd be a good choice, doesn't part of you not want another tackle from Texas?

Werent we saying the same thing about the DT's last year?


Then we ended up w/ a SS

[emo]

the bilsl seem to very much be in a best possible player mindset. I don't think they will reach, unless they can somehow trade back into the first round

I think the Bills w/ Marv are in the draft mind set of , We are going to draft who we want, when we want, and you can take your value board and blow it out your ass


lolol :)

[emo]

right, I still think mccargo is going to be useless

which is why we need to draft reggie nelson and have him play the third safety in our new 3 safety alignment

So Troy Smith is going #7

[eyedog]

So Troy Smith is going #7

In the 2nd rd. maybe. He only stands about 5'11', and yes I know he's listed at 6'1". They were talking about him on the pregames Sunday. The best thing for him would be for Brohm to stay in school. Right now he is probably the fourth qb off the board behind Quinn, Russell, and Brohm.

Yet he's a better QB than all of them .

Drew Brees is the same height as Troy Smith.


Every team that passes on him will regret it.

There is no way that the Clevland Browns don't draft him IMO....which means that the Cleveland Browns will probably be better than the Bills next year.

[eyedog]

I hope the Browns do take him, it will allow another player to drop to the Bills. Drew Stanton may also go before him.
But if he has a big game on Jan 8th, it only takes one team to fall for him.

Which is why NFL GM's consistantly prove that they are retarded.

They draft a body and a frame....not a skill set, attitude, and mind.

Winners are winners......

When Smith has another lights out performance in the Championship game he'll be a lock for the top 10..... the only QB that might go ahead of him would be Brady Quinn.

Merk your updates are great I always check them out.

LOL at Troy Smith Top ten talent... NFL guys see him as a product of the system. Quinn, Brohm, and Stanton will all go before him. So would the LSU QB if he came out.

Because you know shit?

Seriously, don't post if you're just gonna make yourself look stupid.

Rumor has it the Browns are hoping J.Russell of LSU declares b/c its believed that he is atop there draft board

Im not the only one who thinks this... I think hes taleneted but just because you do good on the college level does not mean your going to be a great pro. He played with great Oline, wide outs, and RBs his whole college carrer he wont have that level of comparable talent to work with in the NFL.

OSU is a very run and gun type of team. That is a system.

No way Troy Smith goes in the top ten , i be willing to bet this in a sec.

So right now Our draft range is between 10-19

[bcw]

I see Smith going in the 1st round but no way does a team risk a top 10 pick on him. There is too much talent available so I see him falling into the 20's or early 2nd round.
