Honestly the Buffalo Bills could go in three different directions come draft day. Chris Brown is pretty adept at throwing curve balls out there for the Bills.
We could go with OLB Brian Cushing at 11. Bills brass see him as a guy who can do a lot of things. He can rush the passer, he can cover the TE, they could put him in the middle and push Poz outside. They did say that was not the ideal situation though. He can play DE, ILB, and SLB. The Bills do like his mentality as a player. They also think he is the perfect fit for Buffalo environment, being from Jersey. This could be a smokescreen.
The Buffalo Bills according to Chris Brown don't seem to be high on Everette Brown. This is a shocker to me considering he has the highest character and is the most polished in the pass rush moves. The problem I guess may lie in the fact that he is a smaller player who really didn't show up against the better teams. Most of his outside sacks were accomplished by blowing by guys and not really ever getting sacks on a bull rush. He really seems to be more of fit to a 3-4 team. Again this could be a smokescreen.
Brandon Pettigrew is a rare talent. Modrak says that this type of TE doesn't come around often. Basically labling him a one in every five year talent. The brass in on record for saying that there is a TE that is worth the 11th pick in the draft. They then went on to defending his character for his incident outside a bar a few years back. He aparantly has the Bills believing he could be a major contributor to this team. This could also be a smokescreen.
The Bills are on record for saying that Michael Oher needs some work to be a good LT in this league. They said they like his upside, but they don't like his inconsistencies. They do say that he did seem to get better every year at Ole Miss. They say he could be a top five LT in this league, but he has to want to be that player. Overall he could have the most potential out of all the tackles. Again this is all could be a smokescreen.
Finally the Bills are on record for saying Andre Smith is the best run blocking tackle they have seen in a while. They did say his pass protection was a little lacking and he may have to play RT to get acclimilated to NFL game speed. They apparently aren't concerned about what happened at the combine. They chalked it up as a poor decision for a young man to make and not much else. They don't seem to view his work ethic as a problem.
These may all be smokescreens. The Bills could suprise us all and not take a single one of these guys mentioned. My bet is that of these five guys though one of them is going to be the pick. I am honestly pulling for a tackle to be drafted. I think you gotta keep Trent safe. I don't believe that he will make it through the season if you don't get a top talent at OT in this draft. I also believe by week 6 without protection Owens is gonna implode. What a waste of 6.5 mil if that happens.
