When I look at our #12 pick in the draft, I think about what Buffalo might really do...
Obviously FA dictates an awful lot, but OBD must be thinkig ahead at this time.
Yes, we could grab a solid player with this pick. ILB-Willis/Timmons...might be a reach, might not.
We could also pick up a solid DT-Okoye/Harrell
We cuold grab a starting WR-Jerrett/Bowe/Rice/Meachem
We could get a starting DE-Carriker/Johnson/Anderson/Moss
We could end up with a solid CB-Hall/Revis
Or even a RB-Lynch
All possibilities....
What we also must think about is that OBD may want to trade down. If they do, the one obvious partner with extra picks that I see and we all have heard of already is Denver. They have two 3rd rounders and a 2nd rounder and a 4th rounder. Buffalo is at #12, Denver is at #21. The point value difference between them is 400 points. This means that if there is a player that Denver wants (CB) and has to trade up to get it, Buffalo could trade down to #21 and get either Denver's 2nd and 4th or both of their 3rds and the point value of this trade is almost 400 points. It seems that Buffalo would ask for a 2nd and a 4th as this would give them 398 points rather than 395.
This is a realistic possibility if Buffalo feels they can wait 9 more picks and get a player they want and also get two more useful picks as there is decent value in the mid rounds this year. This would also let us fill some holes and create depth with youth. Look at all of the players in the draft above that I listed that you know would still be there at #21. I would pull the trigger immediately on this if we had a dancing partner in Denver. Denver needs a DB after Williams got killed. They may look at Hall. There's a need to trade up.
Our draft could look something similar to this...
#21-Bowe or Timmons/WR or LB
#43-Mebane or Harrell/DT
#56-Ross or Hughes/CB
#74-K. Irons/RB (He is my Travis Henry of this draft. He runs hard and has the moves to be the back that Fairchild is looking for like a Faulk type back)
#108-Yanda or Free/OL
#118-OL
No 5th rounder-traded to St. Louis for Hargrove
#170-Depth
#204-Depth
I'm bored tonight. Go easy on your critisisms...
