1. Von Miller, OLB, Texas A & M - Dareus would be on my wish list, but IMO he and Peterson go 1 & 2. If we can't get Bruce 2.0, we might as well snag Biscuit Jr. for the D. Bowers doesn't fit, Fairley has a couple of flags, and no way in hell Nix/Gailey touch Newton or Gabbert at #3. Miller becomes an instant starter for the front seven, with real potential to be the 'impact' player the team has referred to in past comments.
2. Christian Ponder, QB, Fla. St - Again, if Martez Wilson or Gabe Carimi are here I'd hop all over them, but they're going in the first. Gailey has had a hard-on for Ponder for a long time, and I've got a feeling this is the guy the Bills think they can develop and build around for the future.
3. Lawrence Guy, DT, Arizona - Good combination of size, strength and athleticism that should allow him to play outside in a 34, inside in a 43.
4. Joseph Barksdale, OT, LSU - Long arms, good weight...could be a solid RT if he decides he wants to commit to an NFL career.
4. Cortez Allen, CB, Citadel - Solid man-to-man prospect, good tackler, decent speed. He has the tools to at least contribute on a regular basis and push Youboty out the door.
5. Da'Norris Searcy, SS, NC - Return ability, apparent nose for the ball, possible loss of Whitner make this former suspended Tar Heel attractive this late in the draft.
6. Karl Klug, DE, Iowa - Kinda light in the ass (275), but characterized as 'hard-working' and 'high motor'...You just know we're going to take at least one of those. Think Mark Pike, and special teams.
7. Bryant Browning, OG, Ohio State - Could compete for a back-up spot...versatility inside and outside helps.
IMO Dareus and Wilson at #3 and #34 would be my dream first two rounds, and I'm really not fond of the Ponder pick, but I've gotten used to that feeling over the last 10 years on draft days anyway. Couldn't find a TE or ILB in the proper spots that I would replace any of the above picks with.
