I like it quite a bit. Buffalo's picks:
1. Mike Jenkins
2. Martellus Bennett
3. Jordy Nelson
4. Paul Hubbard
5. Brian Johnston
6. Peyton Hillis
7a. Fernando Velasco
7b. Jamie Silva
One new name is Brian Johnston. He's a small college prospect, but he's got good size at 6'5" and 276 lbs and had a great workout on March 11, running the 40 in 4.66 seconds. Had he been at the combine, his 40 time would have been 4th best, and the best time for any DE over 260 lbs. He also had an eyepopping 10 yard time, a 35 inch vertical jump, and a 4.18 second 20 yard shuttle to tie the best number for a RUNNING BACK at the combine for that particular drill. As you would hope for a small school guy, he dominated his level of competition.
I'm not as impressed with Jamie Silva. He sounds like another Jim Leonhard. productive with good instincts, but terrible measurables. Guys like him have a role in the NFL, but usually to fill holes in your depth when you can't get anyone better.
