Mel Kiper MockDraft

[SeatownBillsFan21]

Dude has us taking TE Brandon Pettigrew from OK ST. I personally dont think Kipers opinion is worth a darn but saw this wanted to know what you all think if we went TE in the 1st.

With 2 top DE's on the board still?

A lot of problems on defense can be addressed by improving the pass rush. That needs to #1, #2, and #3 on our "to-do" list for the offseason

If we pass on Orakpo and draft a tight end instead, I will be disgusted.

Agreed.
I wouldnt have been disgusted with Gresham, but any other TE at 11 is a joke.. Especially if those DE's were still on the board.

Re: Mel Kiper MockDraft

The Bills were 25th in offense (yards) and 23rd in offense (scoring).
They were 14th in defense (total yards) and 19th in defense (scoring).

Despite what we've seen on D, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this FO went with TE, or any offensive pick in the 1st.

Re: Mel Kiper MockDraft

Issues with Kiper:
3. Kansas City-QB Mark Sanchez-I really believe they are going to go with Thigpen next year, the 2010 QB class is loaded so if they suck again they have a shot at Bradford. They need to work on their lines more, and add some skill players.

5. Cleveland-LB Aaron Curry-I dont get this pick at all. They have two OLB's in Alex Hall and Kameiron Wimbley, why go with another OLB? If they are going to move Curry inside then they are going to force him to play in a box and not even use his best talent.

10. San Francisco-DE/OLB Aaron Maybin-Everybody says this kid made a mistake coming out but Kiper has him going Top 10? I dont see that at all.

11. Buffalo-TE Brandon Pettigrew-WAY too early here (I dont even have a TE going in my 1st Round). Pettigrew finished this season with 42 receptions for 472 yards and no TD's. Which isnt bad stats but its not top 15 worth numbers by any stretch. Pettigrew finished 20th in receiving yards amongst TE's this year, missed three games due to injury, and played in a pass happy offense. His lack of production bothers me and couples with his offseason off the field issues last year, the picks really bothers me especially at 11.

I could see KC trading LJ and TG for picks this year.

Wouldn't that be going against the teams character policy?

Re: Mel Kiper MockDraft

haven't we wasted enough draft picks the last couple of years on TE's? I think we should waste a couple more on safeties.

You can grab the best catching TE on the planet, under this coaching staff they will just be turned into blockers.
