We currently pick 7th going into this weekend's game..

[T-Long]

Based on strength of schedule heading into the ATL game, the Bills are picking 7th.

Here is why:

The Bills, Raiders, Bears, and Seahawks are all tied with 5-9 records thus far. Here is their opponents winning %:

Raiders: 54%
Bears: 48%
Sea: 47%
Bills: 46%

Obviously this will change once we play (lose) to the Colts, meaning our percentage will go up just by playing them.

With all that being said, let's see who you would pick if this scenario played out.

1. STL: Jimmy Claussen QB ND
2. DET: Ndamukong Suh DT NEB
3. TB: Gerald McCoy DET OKLA
4. CLE: Sam Bradford QB OKLA
5. KC: Russell Okung OT OK ST
6. WAS: Eric Berry S TENN
7. BUF: ?

I think it's a mix of OT Bruce Campbell, LB Rolando McClain, WR Dez Bryant

I'm going Campbell. Who do you got?

Walterfootball.com and Great Blue North Draft website have conflicting strength of schedule percentages. So, I'm not sure who's is correct, but make your pick anyways.

LB Rolando McClain

Dez Bryant.

And yes, with Reed and Owens gone WR is a big need unless Hardy comes along quickly.

Campbell and Bryant would be good picks as well... I'd also consider DE Derrick Morgan.

Great Blue does the entire Strength of schedule while Walter only does it up to the games the team has played to this point

Great info. Thanks man. So, right now we are 9th, but still fun to pick in case we were 7th. What else is there to do tonight watching this blowout between the Chargers and Titans?

Speaking of tonight's blowout, McNeill is OWNING Vanden Bosch. We need a LT, stat.

It has to be Bryant here.

Re: We currently pick 7th going into this weekend's game..

Awful tough to pass on Bryant in this situation, but unless an LT is picked up in FA you have to go with Campbell.

Re: We currently pick 7th going into this weekend's game..

At 7, Campbell is a solid pick, but Dez Bryant is a star... It would be difficult for me, if I were a GM, to pass on a talent like Dez Bryant.

I agree with your pick T-Long, but I would pick Bryant.

Take Bryant, trade for Vick, bring in the best free agent OT

Re: We currently pick 7th going into this weekend's game..

Unless, or until, the O-Line is fixed, there's probably little point in picking the 'skill' offensive positions.. Much will depend on where we finally pick, and also who we think will still be available at that point. FA will once again have a big part to play in this. Get a LT in FA, and we can probably think in terms of bpa at that point, as the margins between available players and needs would be small. If we can't get a LT in FA, we are really going to have to make a large decision at that point, as there is undeniably some serious talent available, at positions where we may well be lacking.
The other conundrum will be what system we will be playing on D for the foreseeable future, as that will also impact greatly what we are going to do.
There's a long way to go yet, and although I firmly believe we should fix the O-Line before anything else (including QB), I'd be reluctant to pick Campbell that early. I believe the draft board gave him a mid 1st to mid 2nd round grade, and that is probably due to his relative inexperience in coming out as a junior.
I'm tempted to go LB, as that's another serious need, but I think you can still improve in that area in FA or further down the draft. Bryant would therefore have to be the pick.

Re: We currently pick 7th going into this weekend's game..

Well, we need to address the line predraft, IMO. Mallett could be an option here, and I am very interested in his workouts. In a perfect world, Hardy, Johnson, AND Brohm are our future, McNeil is signed away from the Chargers, and we can grab McClain.

As is, and as of today, I am really torn between the potential on our roster. Our line has some young talent (counting the injured, of course), and I think our QB position does too all of a sudden. At this point, the tie goes to the big men.

I would probably grab Campbell.

If Dez Bryant is there, you snag him and run as fast as you can.
