Mock Draft 3.0

Bills go QB, OLB, and OT but not necessarily in that order.

Rip it up, love it, hate it, I'm all ears for feedback.

Re: Mock Draft 3.0

whats the reason you have Quinton Coples dropping? thought he would be the first DE/OLB off the board, and possible bills pick?

I will have that answer to the first question tomorrow night on the Three Days In April podcast.

I think he is a possible Bills pick given how many times the Bills scouts have been to UNC games this year.

Why Lindley? How often do QBs have terrible completion %'s in college and go on to change that in the pros? Seems like taking a QB for the sake of taking one imo.

Re: Mock Draft 3.0

WTF are you smoking?!!!!! No RB in the 1st 2 rounds. Drafting an OL in the first 4?

NEVER happen with this organization. Look for more RBs, WRs and CBs.

Re: Mock Draft 3.0

I just don't know what to make of any of these pass rushers, they've mind ****ed me. Coples played like **** today.

Would any of you be oppossed to taking DeCastro if he's the best OL at the pick? I think he may be the best lineman in the whole draft. Also wouldn't mind taking Kendall Wright, I think he's a stud and early teens isn't much of a reach, don't think he gets out of the 1st.

Thanks, completely overlooked that. Picks remained the same.

The issue with arguing stats is that you can make them say anything. For instance there is a RB who has run for over 2,000 yards three straight years in this draft, would you take him if you were a RB needy team?

Lindley plays is a high pass offense, incompletions can and will happen. Even then he's over 55% for his career, and last year he was over 57% and lost his top three or four WR's from 2010. His INT's have gone down every year and his TD:INT ratio has gone up.

Thank you for giving Jenkins his just due. I have been saying for quite awhile he's the best pass rushing OLB in the draft. Would take hightower in the 2nd though fix that LB core

Please don't point him out to Buddy and Chan.

Re: Mock Draft 3.0

The only one that raises my eyebrows in the top 10 is KC taking RB Lamar Miller.

Re: Mock Draft 3.0

DB filled some needs.
Won't rip it at all becasue it's a mock and very early.
Nicely done though.

Re: Mock Draft 3.0

Great job.

My only worry is that Ralph may order the Bills to select WR Jeffrey of South Carolina if they let SJ walk. His recent AP interview made it sound like he doesn't wish to be seen as foolish for the Fitz contract and is ordering immediate help...and we know Ralph loves to meddle.

That's the intended consequence but with Charles going down this year the KC lack of depth was exposed. McCluster is basically what I said he would be coming into the NFL and Battle was nice but not somebody you can depend on.

In a league where having your top two RB's be 1a and 1b I think this pick makes more sense. Plus there isn't a QB available and while OT is a need I think they really like the development of David Mims over drafting another rookie.
