The 2008 Buffalo Bills have the ability to do something in Buffalo that hasnt been seen since 1999, get back to the playoffs and regain its respectability across the Great Nation of ours, This draft holds the key to the building blocks to finally having a potent offense to go along with a stout defense
This Mock is as is with no trades and we stay put with our current picks in everyround.
Rd1.(11) Devin Thomas WR Michigan State- 6ft 2in 218lbs 4.4 (40)
This pick has been the subject of much debate since we ended another season watching the playoffs, Our need for a starter on Offense is to great to ignore this pick, Devin brings the size/speed combo we have been looking for since losing Moulds, his 2,590yds all purpose in one year is eye popping production and his vertical and size will give us an option in the RED ZONE were are other WRs have been non exsistent for too long, THis is a no brainer for me
Rd2.(41) Martellus Bennett TE Texas A&M- 6ft 6in 259lbs 4.68 (40)
We finally get the redzone TE we have sorely needed, Royal can still be starter and lets this former basketball player ease into the starting role, giving us the most athletic TE in the draft, he is a sound blocker, has great hands, can run after the catch, and is leader and lockeroom guy, also showed a ton of class wearing 85 for KEverett, he also shores up 2nd biggest postion of need on O
Rd3.(72) Red Bryant DT Texas A&M- 6ft 4in 318lbs 5.0 (40)
This gives us another Monster at DT, we need to shore up the run defense and with Stroud, McCargo and Johnson being here already this guy gives us another runstuffer we sorely missed on 3rd and short and redzone defense, A&M produces awesome DT prospects and this kid is a force and can provide a pass rush as well, can never have enough big bodies and with Injuries being a concern with both McCargo and Stroud, depth needs to be addressed early
Rd4.(114) Chris Ellis DE Virginia Tech- 6ft 4in 263lbs 4.71 (40)
We need to address the depth on the Dline even further by getting our 4th DE in the rotation back that we lost when Hargrove got suspended, He has the size and speed and pash rushing ability to be a nice compliment to what we already have on the Dline, he also holds up well against the run, and fits a postion of need for our Defense and heavy rotation philosphy
Rd4.(142) Terrell Thomas CB USC-6ft 202lbs 4.49 (40)
Alot of people have us going CB early but i think the Bills Brass are looking for a size CB, to be put in during Redzone Defense, i also think they are looking for versatlity and Terrell can also make the switch to Saftey as well, he is good against the run, and has speed to stay with WRs, he would be great on ST, and is also physical, This gives us more depth at another postion were it is needed
Rd5. (147) Owen Schmitt FB West Virginia-6ft 2in 247lbs 4.71 (40)
We need a beast to block in front of Beast Mode, Owen would be that guy, a blue collar FB, who wants nothing more than to destroy Lbrs and Dlineman, He would be an instant celebrity here and would give us a FB who can catch and run out of the back feild, he is not one dimensial like some people think, this would give us another starter we need on O, and would be a huge upgrade at the position a battering ram like good ole Sam Gash
Rd6.(179) Adrian Arrington Wr Michigan-6ft 3in 203lbs 4.5 (40)
A value pick with freak intangibles great vertical and hands decent speed, and would be another REDZONE possession type that would bolster our Receiving corps and add some depth at the postion, i think Reed's days are numbered here under the new O cordinater, comes from a big program, and is also a cold weather WR, we need more than one WR out of this draft why not both from the state of Michigan
Rd7. (219) Jamey Richard C Buffalo-6ft 5in 300lbs 5.1 (40)
Fowler isnt going anywhere this year cause he is under contract and this teams philosphy is not to break up the chemistry, i feel they will let him walk at the end of 08, and we will be grooming his replacement, Jamey is a huge locker room guy and and is a very intense stout Lineman he can be moved around inside giving us depth on the interior also he was an academic all american that is a good sign for a C, would luv this pick here
Rd7.(224) Curtis Johnson OLB Clark Atlanta- 6ft 2in 242lbs 4.6 (40)
A small school Division II prospect at another postion of need for depth, He has the size and speed to be a good developmental prospect, also has great pass rushing ability with 13.5 sacks at the very least he is a practice squad candidate, good value here
Rd7.(251) Kyle Wright Qb Maimi- 6ft 4in 220lbs 4.8 (40)
We need to add a prospect for the Qb ranks, with JP's future defintly not a bill in 2009, and the prospect of him being traded this year, bring in a big time college program Qb with all the attributes to be a solid QB, he just needs the lights to go on, he has good arm strength and has the ability to get out of the pocket, at the very worst he is on the PS learning the system all season
In closing i really feel we make huge strides with this draft class or something very similiar to it
Enjoy
