Hey Bills fans,
I'm representing the Bills in a mock draft on a Cleveland Browns message board and I want to make sure I have the needs right. This is what I was thinking in order of priority for you guys:
1) 3-4 DE
2) 3-4 OLB/pass rusher
3) QB
4) ILB
5) TE
6) RT
7) Secondary Depth
As far as draft strategy goes, I was thinking this:
1st round: Draft Dareus if available and trade down to 6-12 if he's not, drafting JJ Watt and picking up another 2nd-rounder
2nd round: Drafting the best available 3-4 OLB if the value is there. I'm hoping for Brooks Reed. If I traded down, I'd hope to take Martez Wilson with the second 2nd if he's available, and if not, then target the next best QB available, with the order Ponder, Mallett, Kaepernick, Locker.
3rd round: Take a QB if I didn't take one in the second. If I did take a QB in the 2nd, I'd be looking at the LBs if a good one was available. This should also be a good value spot for RTs (Cannon and Carpenter)and TEs (all of them), but that's where I want to get your feedback on priorities.
4th round: Here I'm looking at McCarthy or Matthews at ILB if I didn't get Wilson in the 2nd. If all those spots are filled then I'm moving on to RT (maybe James Brewer), but realistically, our draft won't go this long before the actual one starts.
So, what do you guys think? Any suggestions? Any players the Bills seem to have their eyes on? Anyone you guys see as worth trading up to get?
