Those are always funny looking at them before the draft next season. In college FB players mature and change so much that there will be probably 10 guys that are not on that list that will be on their next year. Then again, it is all entertainment purposes anyway.

If the Bills are picking 8th, the pick will be Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU, who would have been a Top 15 pick in this year's draft.

Why? Because, with Lynch, Losman and Evans on offense and a retooled offensive line, if the Bills finish that low, it will be because their defense was unable to stop the run and keep the opposition from controlling the clock and tempo of the game this season. The Bills may need to add a WR to upgrade their passing game and a CB to help their pass defense, but IMHO their biggest need in that event would be a stud DT to do what they expect McCargo to do this year. And, that DT would be Dorsey.

That having been said, I do not believe that teh Bills will be picking that low. Depending on health, etc., I expect the Bills to be in the 7-8 win range this season, + or - one game depending on the breaks. Remember, the Bills were 7-9 last year against the toughest schedule in the league without getting the expected contributions from McGahee and Spikes as they started 5 rookies. Yes, they lose Fletcher-Baker and Clements, but will have a better offensive line, a more enthusiastic RB, and a defense more experienced overall in playing their Tampa Cover 2 defensive system. So, even if you consider those additions and subtractions a wash, the Bills should be able to match the record that they had last year, barring significant injuries. With some breaks along the way, a net gain of a game or even (at most) two could be possible, despite the fact that they are again playing the toughest schedule in the league.

If that is the case, the Bills will not be drafting 8th. (Also, it is likely that there will be more 1st Round caliber RBs in next year's draft than they are projecting.)

Re: GBN's 2008 Draft Projections

Unless I missed someone, i am not seeing the greatest RB class ever. Only one rb in that mock and he is number 1. Maybe taking Lynch will turn out to be better than we all originally thought. Though it is still early and i am sure slaton will also be available many seem to be wrong with their assesment of next years draft

Re: GBN's 2008 Draft Projections

I think this team is going to shock us on offense. Wild Card in '07.

We're...... not were!

Re: GBN's 2008 Draft Projections

With the schedule you have and the inexperience you'll be forced to use at key positions, you think you'll win 10-11 games?? Wow, unbelieveable!

I'd rather trade down and take Limas Sweed.
