First Luckless Mock Draft

[TigerJ]

As far as I know, Draft Tek has done the first mock draft since Luck announced he's staying in school. They do a computer simulation, so they can generate a new mock in seconds.

They have Carolina selecting (drum roll please): Nick Fairley

Denver then picks: Marcell Dareus.

Thus in a matter of minutes probably the two players most suited to address Buffalo's defensive line woes are gone.

Draft Tek then has Buffalo selecting Robert Quinn. I personally don't see that happening. Either they are discounting much of any impact from the Merriman signing, or they missed it altogether. I think the Bills might go with Bowers if both Fairley and Dareus are gone. If they don't think Bowers is a good fit, then it's possible they will go for AJ Green or Patrick Peterson, who seem to be the best players available at that point. Of course, that leaves Buffalo with arguably their worst hole unaddressed by their top draft choice yet again.

Quinn is a freak! his size and speed are amazing. If he didn't get suspended their would be more talk about him

Re: First Luckless Mock Draft

Re: First Luckless Mock Draft

I'd actually be fine with that, leaving Gabbert there to take in the 2nd.

Re: First Luckless Mock Draft

Gabbert won't make it past Carolina in the 2nd.

This draft just went to worst case scenario for us. :-(

Re: First Luckless Mock Draft

Carolina doesn't have a second. Their second belongs to the Pats.

Actually, that mock draft totally forgot about Gabbert. He was not in any of the top 3 rounds. Maybe it was produced before he declared.

Says it was updated today, but they might have only updated the first round or two.

Pats have Carolina's pick in the 2nd.

They will probably trade it back to the Panthers for Carolinas 1st pick next year which will again be the #1 pick in the draft.

Re: First Luckless Mock Draft

i don't mind taking Quinn at 3... better then taking some position we don't need... al la Spiller.

as a sidenote... i don't think the broncos will go for Dareus; they have more needs on the ol.

Re: First Luckless Mock Draft

Quinn is definitely a possibility. The Bills biggest weakness on defense is the LB corps.

Right now they have 2 unproven guys in Maybin and Moats, 1 guy coming off injury, and Kelsay who is not a fit.

Quinn has the size and the pass rushing ability to stick on the strong side as the OLB instead of Kelsay and then Moats, Maybin and Merriman battle it out on the weakside.

Our DL would be Carrington - KW - Edwards and then you add a very good ILB in FA and another one through the draft and your defense looks pretty darn good.

I agree but what OL is worth #2 overall?

Re: First Luckless Mock Draft

Denver's biggest weakness right now is their front 7 for sure. If they don't take a D-lineman the only other player I could see them taking is Peterson, assuming Champ Bailey signs somewhere else.
