Having considered all the options, I have finalised my optimum draft I'd like to see the Bills make.
This means that this now won't happen but
R1 > Trade down - twice
No11 to Eagles for No19 & No80 ... they can select Harvey
No19 to Falcons for No34& No48 ...they can select Brohm
R2
No34 James Hardy, WR,Indiana
6ft5, 218lbs, 4.48
Early career character issues but has kept his nose clean and Hardy simply has size and excellent Redzone production.
No41 Dre Moore, DT,Maryland
6ft4, 311lbs, 4.82
Despite signing Johnson, and trading for Stroud, all our LEs plus starting DTs have injury histories. Moore can play both inside and out.
No48 Justin King, CB, Penn St Nittany Lions
6ft, 191lbs, 4.32
A junior with extensive expeirence. A returner who has height but will not have the pressure of a 1st rounder expected to step in immediately.
R3
No71 John Carlson, TE, Notre Dame Fighting Irish
6ft5, 255lbs, 4.72
We can pick from several here but I think Carlson will be the best all rounder
No80 Ray Rice, RB,Rutgers Scarlett Knights
5ft9, 199lbs, 4.44
I think that if Lynch goes down, I am not happy with Jackson or Wright carrying the load. Rice might be small, but Thurman Thomas was no giant.
R4
No114 Owen Schmitt, FB,West Virginia
6ft, 248lbs, 4.72
If we are going with a FB, lets grab the best in the draft.
No132 (supp) Mike McGlynn, OG, Pittsburgh Panthers
6ft4, 309lbs, 5.36
A big RT who can move inside and whilst putting pressure on Butler and Walker can also add needed depth
R5
No147 Trevor Scott, DE,Buffalo
6ft5, 256lbs, 4.54
Our 4th DE. Better than what we have and very inexperienced but could be a steal. Remember Jared Allen was taken in the 4th round in 2004. At worst we will give us a Mark Anderson type player
R6
No179 Adarius Bowman, WR, Oklahoma St Cowboys
6ft3, 223lbs, 4.69
At this point, Bowman adds a second big man and is an absolute steal
R7
No219 Andrew Studebaker, SLB,Wheaton
6ft4, 255lbs, 4.49
With Haggan suspended I would look to draft a SLB to back up Crowell. Studebaker has all the measurables here and could be a Stephen Cooper for us.
No224 Kyle Wright, QB,Miami
6ft4, 220lbs, 4.60
A good player in a shocking Hurricanes team. Has the measurables and is known as a very hard worker. Could develop into a quality backup and is of similar size to Edwards
No251 (supp) Robbie Powell, C, Purdue Boilermakers,
6ft5, 307lbs, 5.08
One of the bigger Centers, who struggled to find a college because he needed a scholarship. A young guy, but big compared to other players, and with considerable starting experience, initially at LG but for 2 seasons at C on a very good Purdue line. A last round, last pick selection who would make the roster.
