Kiper releases first mock

[T-Long]

Can't post the link, but I'll give you the Bills blurb:

Buffalo Bills Record: 6-10
Courtney Upshaw, LB, Alabama

Buffalo did well when it drafted Alabama defensive tackle Marcell Dareus with its first pick last year, but the pass rush still needs a lot of help. Upshaw is currently the best 3-4 outside linebacker in the draft, and he should be able to apply a lot of pressure to opposing quarterbacks from the edge for whoever gets him for 2012. No Buffalo player had more than 5.5 sacks in 2011, and the Bills simply can't get enough pressure without bringing extra players. Upshaw is a part of the solution. This is a big-time talent, a player who already was making an impact at Alabama as a freshman. He'll follow a similar path as a pro.

If This dude ends up in our draft bank, we better cash the check.

Unless a franchise QB falls into the Bills' lap, the best way to improve this team quickly is a pass rush.

I like the pick..............I'd take only Luck or Blackmon over him

Now that Kiper has released his first mock, the rest can now follow...

Really depends on what scheme we run.

Re: Kiper releases first mock

I think his top 10 or so are very realistic. I'd love to land Upshaw.

In a 3-4, he'd be fine as the Jack or Sam.

In a 4-3 (4-6 really vs the run) he can be the Will flanking or stacked over Dareus.

Can he play with his hand on the ground as a DE in a 4-3?

I want Riley the OT.

Re: Kiper releases first mock

I am sick of hearing the "needs" this team has. We need everything but a C.

No.

Re: Kiper releases first mock

I lost almost all respect for Kiper yesterday when he said Denard Robinson was already one of the top WR's in the 2013 draft. A ridiculous statement.

Re: Kiper releases first mock

No.

Then it really wouldn't be a fit to draft a 3-4 OLB when the team is likely switching back to 4-3.

Or would it?
