ESPN mock draft has us taking.....Desaun Jackson, WR Cal. He is probably the best play making WR in the draft. Wouldnt mind him and Marshawn together again at all! Im sure these picks will change a hundred times between now and April.

Re: Mock Draft
In a deep WR draft and with so much talent, I can see us trading down to get an extra Day1 pick especially as I think our bigger needs are at DT, LB and TE, and looking at a consensus of drafts, there will still be a lot of talent here at the bottom of R1, and in R2. -
Re: Mock Draft
While I think WR is about equal to DT as our biggest need, I would hope we wouldn't draft Jackson at 11. At only 6' and about 175 lbs, he's too similar to the guys we already have.
If we go WR in the first round, I would go bigger - James Hardy, Malcolm Kelly or Adarius Bowman. Theyre all 6'3" and 220 lbs or better.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Re: Mock Draft
If we could do a deal with Mr Jones of the Cowboys then Adarius Bowman and Pat Sims in R1 sounds good - R2 could be Rogers-Cromartie at CB followed by Carlson TE and Moore DT in the 3rd. And if we can nab Titus Brown in R4 ......Comment

Re: Mock Draft
I hate that pick, Jackson is Ginn v2.0 with less polish on his routes
Also guys lets keep the draft threads (even if there is 5000 of them) in the Scouting Zone.COMING SOON...

I agree... If we go WR round 1 it's got to be Malcomb Kelly.
However... I don't see us passing on Ellis... I just don't think he'll be there at 11.

Re: Mock Draft
Jackson is basically the same type of WR we have in Evans with lower quality fundementals.
Evans-light if you will.Comment

ESPN's Latest Mock- Bills taking Jackson.
Since I'm so disgusted with Ralph Wilson and Ralphanomics that I can't even speak about it, I'm turning my attention to something to my sanity somewhat intact; the draft.
This is the latest ESPN Mock by that tool McShay.
He has the Bills taking WR DeShean Jackson. Here is McShay's write up on him.
11. Buffalo Bills
Record: 7-9
Biggest needs: TE, CB, WR, LB, DT
Projected pick: DeSean Jackson*, WR, California
Jackson could join forces with former Cal teammate and current Bills RB Marshawn Lynch to give Buffalo one of the most exciting young offensive skill groups in the NFL. Jackson still has room to improve as a route-runner and he must get stronger in order to endure a 16-game NFL schedule. Much like Ted Ginn Jr. (No. 9 overall to Miami last season), however, Jackson's home run ability after the catch, on vertical routes and returning punts will be too tempting for a team with a top-15 draft pick to pass on.
=======================================================
Not sure I like it. I think it's a foregone conclusion Buffalo is going WR or DT if they keep the 11th pick. THere are no TE's or LB's that are worthy of a pick that high this year; and I dont think any team should draft a corner in the top 12 of their playing a cover-two defense.
Having said that, it appears on most projections Jackson is the highest WR on the board. Sounds (and I'll have to study more) like a big home run threat. The comparison going around is to Ginn. However, is that the type of WR the Bills really need? Another smaller, quick "home run" WR like Evans and Parrish, and I suppose Price? My thinking is we need a bigger WR, a guy with sure hands who can seperate, go over the middle and make big catches and score in the red zone.
Again, I'll have to study up more; but from what i'm reading it sounds like this guy would be the better pick.
19. Philadelphia Eagles
Record: 9-7
Biggest needs: OT, S, WR, LB, TE
Projected pick: Malcolm Kelly*, WR, Oklahoma
Current Eagles OTs Jon Runyan and William Thomas aren't getting any younger, so Jeffrey Otah (Pittsburgh) and Michael Oher (Mississippi) are possibilities here. However, the Eagles are still in search of a big-play threat at wide receiver and Kelly could finally be the answer. Unlike most big receivers, he's a smooth route-runner who knows how to separate from man-to-man coverage. Kelly also might have the strongest hands of any receiver in this year's class.
========================================================
Again, way too early for draft talk I know. But I'm so disgusted with our "moves' of late in the front office and staff, and I anticipate no more than 1-2 decent (at best FA's) this spring. So I may as well start focusing on the draft now.

Re: ESPN's Latest Mock- Bills taking Jackson.
Yeah, great. Let's copy the Dols' stupid move of drafting a Ginn clone. Sorry but a 6' 179# is NOT the answer.Comment

Re: ESPN's Latest Mock- Bills taking Jackson.
I'm not "scouting".
SCouting is asking for information about players.
I'm discussing who would be a good pick going by this mock. Are all draft-related threads going to be moved?Comment

Re: ESPN's Latest Mock- Bills taking Jackson.
That's what Im saying.. AT this point anyway, unless this guy is a really special talent.Originally posted by Goobylal
We need strong guys who can run routes. Parrish, Reed and even Evans get open at best 25% of the time they run routes.Comment
