    Mock 1.0 (Who saw this coming?!)

    I don't pretend to know what team needs what. The Bills are my #1 love, followed by stand up comedy, then followed by college sports, then my fiancee (she might be in there higher, I'm not sure).

    Everyone else is showing their mock drafts, and since this offseason has been beyond boring, I figured I'd accept ridicule for my "Mock".

    Welp... What would you do in this scenario?

    1. Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M - Kind of a given, we need a pass rush and run support, he seems to be able to do both off the edge in a 3-4
    2. Colin Kaepernick, QB, Nevada - Call me Al Davis, but the kids combine numbers and Senior Bowl impressed me. I think under Fitz he could end up being an offensive weapon. Can run and make the tight throw, but arm strength deep/accuracy... eh...
    3. Joseph Barksdale, OT, LSU - If he can drop this far, I think he can fill the RT hole we currently have. As most people on this board know, our interior seems pretty set on the line, but RT seems to be a rotating door at this point.
    4. Lawrence Guy, DE, ASU - Pretty quick DE to put on the left side, with the loss of Stroud we need that depth behind Carrington.
    4. Johnny Patrick, CB, Louisville - I didn't see #24 on a Bills uni a lot this season, did you? Good school, seemed pretty solid.
    5. Mario Harvey, ILB, Marshall - Run support. With Miller/Merriman off the edge, maybe Moats hits the middle to replace that PHENOM Ellison (*sigh*) and we can have insane alliteration along the inside.
    6. Cecil Shorts, WR, Mount Union - With a couple small school pick ups last year, I can see this as a Buddy Nix move. Martin Nance?!
    7. Chris Neild, NT, WVU - Run support. A couple scouting reports have this guy as a "shed the blocker, wrap up with one arm and have the LB slam him to the ground" type guy. Could be a late round pick to switch along all of the Dline for depth support.
    7. Zach Pianalto, TE, North Carolina - Reminds me much of Schouman, who I hope comes back. I'm not a huge Boise S. fan, but the guy got the job done, but with injuries it looks like he needs a replacement. I would be surprised if he drops this far, but if he's there, could be the last future Bill off the board in 2011.
    Bye Bye Brady...

    I'd throw up if we took Kaepernick in the 2nd.

      I would be happy with Miller at #3 if Dareus is gone. If Kaepernick lasts until the 3rd rnd I would not mind him there but there is too much defensive depth in this draft to waste a 2nd rnd pick on him IMO.

            This is as good as any I have seen. You've addressed most of the areas of need. BTW Pro Football Weekly rates Miller the best player in the draft.....by a wide margin.

              Could happen....
              I see 4 Qb's taken in the 1st round and a possible 5......
              Keapernick might be the only guy left in that 2nd tier range.....

              I think you did a nice job on the draft.......

                I still say you're taking Kap, Barksdale, and Guy all a round too high.

                Guy seems to be the trendy pick amongst people for the Bills in the mid-rounds.

                Harvey, Shorts, and Pianolto I like a lot though.

                  He's also going to demand an unreasonable paycheck, as evidenced by his latching onto the NFLPA lawsuit to prevent the rookie pay cap. He doesn't understand that he has to earn his money. Blackball him.

                    I like the first four rounds pretty much. The last four rounds not my preference at all.
                    I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                    I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                      Barksdale might not have a 3rd round grade but we all know how fast OT's with his measurables go. I'm not sure you can wait that much longer. Barksdale in the 3rd might not be a bad wager.

                        Id wait, plenty of mid level guys who as good as Barksdale is. Who is only a RT in the NFL.

                        Other guys who are worth about the same include;
                        Derek Newton
                        Willie Smith
                        Byron Bell
                        Jah Reid
                        Curt Potter
                        David Mims

                          Love Jah Reid, I think the Troup connection could go far as well.

                            Mayock & McShay also have Miller as 2nd best player last I saw, ahead of Peterson.
