Todd McShay 3.0 Mock Draft

[Bangarang]

3. Buffalo Bills

Von Miller, OLB, Texas AM

The Bills have no shortage of needs. Left tackle is a priority, but the 2011 class doesn't offer a surefire top-five pick. The team is also likely to draft a quarterback, but it should do so on Day 2, when a legitimate backup to Ryan Fitzpatrick (and potential future starter) can be found. The Bills also need help along the defensive front, and Miller makes sense because he's a versatile playmaker. Miller can play sideline to sideline versus the run, and he's at his best when turned loose off the edge as a pass-rusher.

Discuss.

Also, interestingly enough, he has Bowers going #1 and Fairley going #2.

It tells me Mcshay is not really in tune with the Bill's needs. Sure an upgrade at LT would help but WELL down the list.

Is he a franchise lber? If not I doubt he's our guy.

Re: Todd McShay 3.0 Mock Draft

It would be cool if the "experts," that tell us what our needs are, watched the team.

Bell may not have been a All-Pro, but we could have done a lot worse.

I'm surprised he didn't say we should replace Edwards.

Von Miller @ 3 is a joke!

Re: Todd McShay 3.0 Mock Draft

is mcshay the guy that just tries to influence the draft boards so that his chosen few go higher than they were supposed to and then he collects a check? I forget which guy is notorious for this.

Re: Todd McShay 3.0 Mock Draft

It was Kiper...but I'm sure he's not alone.

Re: Todd McShay 3.0 Mock Draft

hmmm. interesting.

von miller is awesome for sure. and i think a player like that on our defence would be a huge pluss. the guy in a LB position that can kill it on the edge would be sick.

as for the day two draft of a qb that has a future as our starter/franchise?
who the hell is that guy in this draft.

i think mcshay is tottaly wrong here.

i could deff see bowers going one but i think the panthers may address the QB

Yeah, it was Kiper, not that he had any influence at all.

His boy Jimmy Clausen whom he projected to go in the top 10 was not drafted until the middle of the 2nd rnd. Kiper also said Tebow would be drafted in the 3rd rnd at the earliest & he was picked in the 1st, way ahead of Clausen.

Who did McShay have going 1 and 2?

If we have a trade down partner I bet we can still get Von Miller at 8-12.

Mike Mayock has us taking Von Miller at #3 also.

Who was the last LB to go in the top 3?

Re: Todd McShay 3.0 Mock Draft

I don't know. It'd be hard to argue against taking Dareus at 3.

I'm not so sure about that. Best pass rusher in the draft. If he kills the combine he will be a top pick for sure.
