Credit to Buffalo Rumblings for getting it first. Wouldn't shock me if Peterson and Sheppard come the same day.

You know Chan and Buddy luv those Southern boys.........
Nice 1-2 LSU punch would be a nice upgrade to the Bills...

Sheppard = :up:

[DraftBoy]

Sheppard = :up:

Im torn on Sheppard, because I like his intagibles, his skill and his leadership. His athleticism though is below a guy like Wilson so I dont think he's the best option at 34, but Im not sure he will fall down to 68.

[k-oneputt]

He's not going to be #34, they are looking for him at #68 or beyond, and if he doesn't last then so be it. I think he will be available in the 3rd rd.

[Night Train]

I want players that can can contribute early and often to improving our win total.

Therefore, I don't really care what round they arrive in.

[k-oneputt]

They can go Dareus, Wilson, Sheppard and start them all in day one of camp. I'm really not concerned with the veterans and their feelings on this team.

[patmoran2006]

Chan had a lot of good things to say about Sheppard and I think they like him as a 3-4 LB.

Ranked as a 3rd or even 4th round prospect by most, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him go earlier than that. Has alot of things the Bills brass like, including 3-years as a starter and was first team All SEC last year.

[jamze132]

Dude would be a steal in the 3rd.

[JCBills]

I have him at #99, but I'd take him at #68 if needed. He brings size, strength, and intensity. All I know is the team needs to get bigger / faster on D, and Sheppard would seem to be a step in the right direction. If they pulled off a Dareus / Houston / Sheppard start to the draft I would be flipping out.

What position would Sheppard play?

[psubills62]

What position would Sheppard play?
ILB

[NOT THE DUDE...]

1 peterson
2 nevis
3 sheppard
4 barksdale

that would actually be really good....

[ParanoidAndroid]

I would be surprised if Barksdale makes it that far with those 36" arms of his.

[Night Train]

What position would Sheppard play?

CB...oh wait, Jauron is gone.

MLB is a crying need for this D.

Her disappeared way too often for me and also looked to be just going through the motions at times.

I did his report for another site and I watched a lot of his tape and I don't see that. I see him filling a lot of holes and forcing plays to bounce outside. He's not always in on the play but he was often a factor.

He's not always in on the play but he was often a factor.I just didn't see him do anything special in all the games I watched him. I didn't get a sense of a high motor from him and often I ended up questioning intensity. Beyond that he seemed to struggle to get off blocks or was out of position to much for me. He's got the measurables, but at LB'er I want to see intensity and instincts. I saw it at times, just not enough for me.

But, IMO, overall the class is pretty weak anyways.
