Less than 2 days; and I'm wanting..

[patmoran2006]

Sick of explaining reasons as I'm sure most are by now; just as most are sick of reading them.

Right now at #11 I am:

Hoping for: Raji, Maybin, Brown (in that order)

on the fence about : Cushing

Don't want us taking: Orakpo, Oher, Pettigrew


Right now at #28 I am:
Hoping for: Michael Johnson (sorry), Max Unger

on the fence about: Larry English, Robert Ayers, Lauranitis

Not wanting: Britton, Beatty or Smith.

[patmoran2006]

you give me BJ Raji and Michael Johnson in the first round and you watch how much that DL improves.

However, I dont think either will be available at either spot.

[kernowboy]

Everette Brown and James Laurinaitis will give us the best starting defensive 11 in the AFC East.

Everette Brown and James Laurinaitis will give us the best starting defensive 11 in the AFC East.

based on 2 of those players never playing a down in the nfl??

whatttttttttttttttttt?

The Jets and the Patriots have much better starting 11's.. So does Miami for that matter.

[kernowboy]

based on 2 of those players never playing a down in the nfl??

based on both players being solid hard working players who are bound to be good professionals in the league who represent a huge upgrade over those they will be replacing (Kelsay, Ellison)

[Michael82]

I want Everette Brown and Alex Mack. We get our LB in the 2nd round.

You can use the same phrasing to describe Kelsay and Poz; but that doesn't mean they're going to amount to **** on Sundays.

And we're talking about two guys I wouldnt mind drafting here...

The Pats have a nasty (as in average) looking secondary, as do the Fins who's LB Corps also looks like a bit of mish mash, whilst the Jets DL looks like it can do with some work.

I would be more than happy with our DL, very happy with our LB corps and happy with our secondary especially if the Whitner/Scott combination continues to improve.

[TheMan08]

Pat, So Not interested in Oline help in first round

I want...

#11 Rajji
#28 Duke Robinson

Rd 2 Clay Matthews

Matthews will not be there at #42 on any day that ends in a 'y'

It's a deep draft for OTs. We could get one in the 2nd round if we want. But I believe that they are sold on Bell and that's why they traded Peters.

[TheMan08]

Duke Robinson has loads of value at 28. We could play Bell and Walker at Tackle and Robinson at G.

[SquishDaFish]

After listening to E. Brown on sirius today im Sold on him and would LOVE to have him at #11

[casdhf]

I'd be happy with 2 DL and 2 OL in the first 4 picks.

[kernowboy]

I certainly want to see two OL picks in our first 5 picks but I think we shouldn't underestimate the need to upgrade over Ellison and also to sort out the S issue.

[ServoBillieves]

This draft is all about the trenches.

Secondary: solid. RB corps: set. QB's: solid. Receiving Corp: Need I say more? O-Line = woah, help. D-Line = need pass rush and a late round DT for depth to drop McWorthless, and a starter to take over where Crow left off. Top 5 would be nice to see 2 O-Lineman, a D-lineman, and hybrid, and a LB.

[seanbillsfan]

I think we are gonna use the #28 pick to trade either up or down.

[Philagape]

11. Would love Raji, would settle for Brown or Orapko. Nervous about Maybin, unless he becomes a LB for us.
28. MACK
42. If the first two go that way, can go in several directions here (LB, DE, TE, T). But I want Robinson here if they don't take Mack at 28.

[T-Long]

I want Orakpo and Pettigrew as my top 2 in the first round

I understand your arguement, it makes sense. But I have never seen the Bills do anything even close to that and probably never will.

I think a TE is very likely in one of the top 3 picks.

[kernowboy]

I want

#11 Everette Brown DE
#28 James Laurinaitis WLB
#42 Gerald Cadogan LT/LG

I know people have reservations about Laurinaitis, but having reading Buckeye scouting reports and fan blogs, many think is best position will be WLB in the NFL where he can use his coverage skills. He will be a big upgrade over Ellison and will give 110% every play.

And I would go for Cadogan at #42. An intelligent guy who can be slotted into the left hand side.

More than anything though, if these guys are asked to play a different position from what they played in college you can bet your life they will be the first on the training field, first in the film room etc because they have the character and work ethic to not just want to be in the NFL but to be the best in their positions in the NFL and not to embarass themselves.

I am not certain if the same can be said of other candidates.

[Kenny]

Here's my wishlist:

@ #11:
1. Andre Smith (high risk/reward... but with his skill and college dominance, you have to take a chance)
2. Orakpo or Raji (still undecided on this one)
3. Brown
4. Maybin
5. Oher

[homeslice5484]

maybin is pretty good from the clips i have seen. We need to get DE and DL help...then OLINE help then LB and TE.
