Knowing what you know now...

[Devin]

Without changing where Buffalo picked in any round, and knowing both what our team needs are and the current level of play of this years rookie class how would you have drafted differently?

If a player was not available at our pick they cannot be selected.


1. Jay Cutler, QB
1. Nick Mangold, C
3. Ko Simpson, S
4. Elvis Dumervil, DE
5. Kyle Williams, DT
5. Dawan Landry, SS
6. Keith Ellison, OLB
7. Aaron Merz, OG
7. Marques Colston, WR

Jay Cutler and Mangold are pretty self explanitory. Ko Simpson is a solid FS and I picked up Landry later to fill our need at SS. Dumervil has proven thus far to be a solid speed rusher.

Williams I still like at DT and I believe at some point Merz will be our starting OG. Colston is a no brainer. I kept Ellison as well as I think he will eventually develop into a fine Cover 2 LB.

Colston wouldn't do anything here cause JP can't get anyone the ball.

Re: Knowing what you know now...

Hence Cutler

Re: Knowing what you know now...

Doesn't make sense to take Mangold. Fowler isn't bad.

Re: Knowing what you know now...

Hence Cutler

and 2 or 3 for the OL

why not?fowler doesn't have a whole career ahead of him like mangold does.

Re: Knowing what you know now...

If you disagree make your own picks.

Mangold as a rookie is miles better then Fowler. Plus if we are able to draft a OT this year we have our bookends and C for years to come.

How many safeties playing in the NFL are worth taking 8th overall ?

It harder for the average fan to rank a safety or DT against the rest of the league than it is a QB or RB.

They stayed away from taking players in high profile positions to avoid critism if a mistake was made.

You can tell by my posts that I was in favor of taking a QB before the Bills made their pick and that I thought Cutler was the best QB in the draft.

Marv Levy made some very bold comments against taking a QB in that draft.

In a year or two at the most he won't sound as bold .

This will go down as another draft where Buffalo really sh** the bed.

I almost went Dumerville and Simpson, as you did, but when I noticed Anderson available at 5 I skipped over to Cofield and kept Simpson in the same spot, grabbing Anderson later.

Yeah I just accidentally skipped over him when I was looking. I Like the McNeil pick as well. That would have allowed us to keep Peters on the right.

I like this topic. I dont disagree overall, but theres some question marks in your picks here.

Trading up for a C? into the 1st round? Not taking a DT until the 5th? Im saying Simpson where we took him and an OL in the 3rd.
