With yesterday's loss..

[T-Long]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we are currently drafting 4th overall if the draft was today.

1. Carolina
2. Cincinnati
3. Detroit
4. Buffalo


Since we are tied with Cincy and Detroit, I think head to head is the first tie-breaker, which would have us fourth.

If the draft were today, here is how I see it playing out.

1. Carolina: Andrew Luck QB Stanford
2. Cincinnati: AJ Green WR Georgia
3. Detroit: Da'Quan Bowers DE Clemson
4. Buffalo: Marcel Dareus DT Alabama

Discuss.

Re: With yesterday's loss..

I would not be upset with that being our first selection. I would love to see the majority of our draft picks being used on defense. But I would like to see QB addressed within the first 3 rounds.

I think Detroit could take Patrick Peterson with there first pick and then we take Bowers. Also, I could see Fairley end up in Cincy.

Re: With yesterday's loss..

I think our primary needs are at linebacker. Is there a linebacker good enough to be drafted that high.

I honestly think that Peterson could be the pick as well, but I took the other route because it brings up a good conversation in terms of Dareus and DT being the need. If Bowers is there at 4, he would be the pick hands down.

Fairley over Green? Nah, I don't see that happening. Boy, would that create some turmoil if Detroit is on the clock and Green is there. It would be Matt Millen era all over again!

Agreed. LB is a huge hole for us IMO. There isn't a LB in the top 5 as of right now, and I don't see there being one to emerge. That would have to be addressed later on in the draft or free agency.

Re: With yesterday's loss..

I really don't know enough about the defensive prospects yet to have an opinion one way or another, but I've heard quite a bit about Fairley and Bowers, so as of now I'd have no problem with those guys.

Hope your right and I guess Green would make sense seeing Chad and TO are old as time itself.

I don't think head-to-head is used at all as a tiebreaker, otherwise we would have gotten Patrick Willis, no? IIRC, SOS is the only tiebreaker used - if that fails, they flip a coin.

Actually, you're right from what I just found online. Weird, I thought for sure H2H would be. Regardless, as of now the Bills have a higher SOS than Cincy or Detroit so the thread subject is still valid.

Agreed, the subject is still valid. Our SOS increases daily, especially since, inexplicably, New England, NYJ, and Miami all keep winning. I have a feeling that our SOS will end up being higher than almost any other team.

That being said, I don't know who I'd want in that scenario. Probably Peterson, actually. We've got OK corners, but we really need a stud. And while I do believe we need a TON of help in the front 7...I just don't see anyone there worth 50 million big ones who isn't a huge, huge risk.

Grab Peterson, an OT in the 2nd, LB or DL in the 3rd, QB in the 4th, LB/DL with our other 4th rounder, then in last 3 rounds grab OT, pass-rushing specialist, and maybe another RB (Yes I know...does anyone really want Quinton Ganther starting though if Fred goes down?).

Re: With yesterday's loss..

Yea Im taking Patrick Peterson here.

Most likely the BPA. Peterson is one of the best CB prospects I can remember. With McGee's injury struggles lately, and McKelvin's tendency toward being a bonehead, adding a true shutdown corner isn't ridiculous.

It's something I could live with, but it would be real hard to get excited about.

Too bad that there's no real stud linebacker prospect this year.

Re: With yesterday's loss..

I think Cincy would go defense. The Bills just put up 49 against them eight days ago. In the past few years, NFL teams have shied away from taking WRs in the first round and I think Green might drop because of that.
