Whats your dream draft?

[Devin]

You can do 1st day or all 7, but try and keep the players where you think realistically they will be.

The biggest thing is im curious what YOU would do, not necessarily what the team will do. Doesnt have to be by need.

While im curious primarily about Bills fans takes, this is open to any fans really. Be interesting to get takes on other teams.

Provide explanations where you can and most importantly, do a little research. If you opt to trade down figure out how much picks are worth before you just arbitrarily through out a 2nd or whatever.

Re: Whats your dream draft?

I'll do Browns...

Round 1 pick 3 - AP self explanatory
Round 2 pick 36 - Chris Houston, he somehow lasted on our mock til then.
Round 3 pick 67 - Victor Abiamiri, DE, Notre Dame Roye isn't getting younger and the other side completely scares me.
Round 4 pick 103 - Troy Smith QB Ohio St...I'd be shocked if he lasts til this pick, but it is possible. Charlie Frye is in his make or break year, and if he breaks hometown boy Troy Smith could come in and generate some excitement.
Round 5 pick 140 - Courtney Brown CB Cal Poly This kid from day 1 could step in and be a difference maker in special teams and replace Cutt as the PR man. After a year or two of learning the system he may be a fine nickle or dime corner.
Round 6 pick 178 - Yamon Figurs WR/KR K-State Same as above, but could make an impact as a 4th or 5th WR. Competition is good.
Round 7 pick 213 Jason Snelling FB Virginia Gives Vickers some competition at the FB spot after the release of T. Smith.

I'll do a Bills one next.

Re: Whats your dream draft?

Alright now the Bills....

Round 1 pick 12 - Greg Olsen TE Tha U I've already stated, ad naseuam, why I want this guy here.
Round 2 pick 43 - Marcus McCauley CB Fresno St Good in zone or man to man coverage and can tackle.
Round 3 pick 74 - Justin Durant LB Hampton...Went to Hampton so he's a smart guy, has some speed and is good in coverage. Perfect for us.
Round 3 pick 92 - Quincy Black LB New Mexico...rather raw, has the intangibles, and good instincts. Here's to thinking DJ can coach him up and get everything out of him.
Round 4 pick 111 - Deshawn Wynn RB Florida...I almost took Michael Bush but I can't get past injury concerns. Wynn still has upside and has hands to catch out of the backfield.
Round 6 pick 184 - Le'Ron McClain FB Bama...Best pure FB in this draft. We kinda need one on the roster too!
Round 7 pick 222 - Matt Trannon WR Mich St...BIG TARGET at 6'6" also ran around a 4.5 Take a chance he can become a RZ threat at the very least.
Round 7 pick 239 - Jordan Palmer QB UTEP...We need a 3rd QB anyways and he has good pedigree.

I had to edit, because I forgot the pick we got from the Ratbirds in the original.

Re: Whats your dream draft?

Before we draft our 1st pick, I send our 2nd round and next years 3rd to the Titans for Michael Turner.

Round 1 I trade down with Tennessee. The value of the 12th overall is 1200 points, thier 19th is worth 875. Thier 2nd round pick is worth 400 points.

We get:
1(19)
2(18)

They get:
1(12)

They will almost assuredly have to leapfrog Greenbay for a shot at Lynch, and with Turner out of the question this is a possibility.

With the 1st (19) pick I make Jon Beason, LB a Buffalo Bill.

With our newly aquired 2nd rounder I then set my sights on Sidney Rice to compliment Evans. A big target, he surely will go a long way in helping JP continue his development.

With our 1st 3rd rounder, I make Ben Patrick, TE a Buffalo Bill. Next Season Patrick steps into the starting TE roll and rounds out a pretty lethal offense behind a newly rebuilt OL.

With our 2nd 3rd rounder I take a CB that is BUILT for the Tampa 2 D. Fred Bennett.

My 7 Rounder looks like:

1. Jon Beason, LB
2. Sidney Rice, WR
3. Ben Patrick, TE
3. Fred Bennett, CB
4. Earl Everett, LB
6. Le'Ron McClain, FB
7. Garrett Wolfe, RB
7. Jared Zabransky, QB

Which also means next season we can dump the over priced Peerless Price and Robert Royal.

Our offense has a VERY young core all around and we have the room to sign Losman/Evans assuming Ralph is willing.

We have replaced the holes at LB, RB and POTENTIALLY CB as well as upgraded a few spots of concern.

Our offense now boasts Lee Evans and Sidney Rice at WR, Patrick at TE, Turner/McClain as our big runners with Wolfe as a change of pace back and Losman all behind our at the very least upgraded OL.

Our Defense may only end up being marginally upgraded via this draft but with a legit cover 2 corner, and 2 solid LB's its a good draft.

Re: Whats your dream draft?

1. Patrick Willis, LB
We need an immediate, full-time impact starter at LB. Willis brings the total package. If he's not available, I'd try to trade down if possible for Beason or Poz.
2. Antonio Pittman, RB
Would make a decent platoon with A-Train. Hunt's a possibility here too at RB.
3a. Ben Patrick, TE
My patience has run out on Everett, and we can use a TE who can add a threat. I wouldn't mind a WR here, but a TE is more versatile.
3b. Josh Beekman, G
I'm not content with our RG prospects, and Beekman would help the running game.

Re: Whats your dream draft?

My dream draft (within reason) is to have Patrick Willis there at 12 ( best player available and Need pick!) and to follow that up with Sidney Rice ( Likely game breaker) at 43! In the third round, having Kenny Irons at 74 slipping would be optimum ( Best fit with A-Train, IMO!), and having a guy like Justin Durant (Passion for the game!) at 92 would really light my fire on Saturday!!! Second day, I'd like Manny Ramirez at ORG to be available at 111. The developmental QB in round six is where the Bills might be interested in exercising this option... the pick is Jordan Palmer, who has a pedigree, of sorts! The seventh round would yield TE Jonny Harline and OLB Justin Hickman.

Re: Whats your dream draft?

AP, Rufus Alexander, Durant day one. Day two best available players at corner, fb, and WR.

[Night Train]

Re: Whats your dream draft?

We get Turner and a 2nd Rounder from San Diego for our first.

1st - Aquire RB Michael Turner - Instant Starter
2A - MLB David Harris-Michigan or MLB Brandon Siler-Florida- MLB Starter
2B - CB Eric Wright- UNLV or CB Tanard Jackson- Syracuse - Could challenge immediately.
3A- OLB Quincy Black- New Mexico - Rare athlete. Best football still ahead.
3B- DT Antonio Johnson- Miss. St - Very effective,strong DT at the 1 Gap.
4th- WR Dallas Baker- Florida - 6-3, 208- suction cup hands, great route runner. Better option than Peerless at the #2.
6th- C/G Leroy Harris - NC St. - 4 year starter. Smart,strong and would provide the depth at both C and G.
7A - TE/H-back Brent Celek- Cinci - Good hands, outstanding blocker.
7B - CB David Jones - Wingate - Small College sleeper. Physical, smart and fits the Cover 2 perfectly.

Re: Whats your dream draft?

1st let me say, I have no idea really what Miami's depth chart looks like. I think it's this.

QB - Cleo Lemon
RB - Ronnie Brown
FB - Cory Schlessinger
WR1 - Chris Chambers
WR2 - Marty Booker
WR3 - Derek Hagan
TE - David Martin
LT - ?
LG - ?
C - Rex Hadnot
RG - LJ Shelton
RT - Vernon Carey

FS - Yeremiah Bell
SS - Renaldo Hill
CB1 - Will Allen
CB2 - Goodman
CB3 - Travis Daniels
OLB - Joey Porter
MLB - Zach Thomas
OLB - Channing Crowder
DE - Jason Taylor
DT - Vonnie Holliday
DT - Keith Traylor
DE - Matt Roth

1st - Levi Brown. LT PSU. Wait till we find out the whole 1, 2, 3. If Detriot or Cleveland move past the Washington Redskins, Miami is forced to trade up with Washington. It would only require the 2nd received from the Pats (pick #60) according to draft value boards. So 6th overall - Brady Quinn. Landry, Russell, Johnson, Thomas are all players I'd also take if they miraculously fell, but I doubt it. If Quinn is not there at 6, you have to draft Levi Brown based on pure need - not because of value. I think Brown is overvalued at that spot, and is sketchy as far as LTs are concerned (might project better to RT). Amobi Okoye is very interesting, but the need for an LT outways the great talent and value Okoye provides.
2nd (40 overall) - Ben Grubbs. OG AU. Definitely would love to see a S here, but I doubt Griffin or Merriweather fall this far. Grubbs provides that help along the O-line. I hate O-line picks, but look at what they did for the Jets last year. With Hudson Houck magic, this guy will be a beast. Would love for Miami to make up great value here with someone that fell but I don't know who will. Greg Olsen would be nice. Griffin, Merriweather, Anthony Gonzalez would be nice too.
2nd (60 overall) - Ben Patrick TE Delaware. Miami is lacking in the TE area. Craig Davis could provide the returning ability that was lost with Wes Welker as well, but I think the lack of a TE outways the lack of production from the WR position.
3rd (71 overall) - Drew Stanton QB MSU. This is just a minor project. When Miami gets a top 5 pick next year, they better draft a QB (Brian Brohm?) if they don't this year. You let Drew Stanton compete, and start his career in Miami. If he's a nobody, he can take a hike after his contract is up.
4th (108 overall) - Aundrae Allison WR ECU. Finally a return man and a deep threat. Exactly what Miami lacks at WR.

Re: Whats your dream draft?

I like that, thats a solid 1st day for the fins.

Re: Whats your dream draft?

I saw my dream mock of 1.Willis 2.Sidney Rice 3. Antonio Pittman. I would love to have AP but this is my more realistic dream draft.

[Bling]

Re: Whats your dream draft?

I had no idea you guys were big on Ben Patrick too. I really hope Miami would cut off the Bills for him at 60th or 71th. Now I know what it's like to need a TE again.

He may be gone with seattles second round pick.

Dream? Its unfair...it implies a bit of "not gonna happen".

My dream, resonable, draft is a draft that could really happen. This is a draft with no trades and luck in our favor:

1) Marshawn Lynch
2) Paul Posluzny- yes I think he can drop this far, but no I dont think he will. I think David Harris is the pick here
3a) Rufus Alexander- He will be there and hes a solid pick
3b) Paul Williams- WR hes a bit of a sleeper, but I think hes a 1st round pick on any higher known team.
