    Player Fits By Round 1.0

    Projections are obviously subject to change, and some players are hard to peg down. It would have been easier to go with round ranges, but I'm doing this at work and don't have a ton of time to dump into it.

    "Fit" is referring to what Nix / Gailey like to look for, what we know the team needs, and value.

    We know they like big WRs.
    We know they need a couple of DEs and OLBs.
    We know at some point, they'll probably take a CB.
    We know they're looking to add an OT.

    We think they might be looking to add another TE.
    We think they might be looking to draft a QB.

    Note: Buffalo has two picks in the 4th and 5th rounds.


    1.
    Riley Reiff - OT - Iowa - 6'6'' 300 Lbs
    Nick Perry - DE/OLB - USC - 6'3'' 250 Lbs
    Courtney Upshaw - OLB/DE - Alabama - 6'1½'' 273 Lbs
    Quinton Coples - DE - UNC - 6'5¾'' 281 Lbs
    Dre Kirkpatrick - CB - Alabama - 6'2'' 192 Lbs
    ---
    2.
    Ryan Tannehill - QB - Texas A&M - 6'4'' 222 Lbs
    Mohamed Sanu - WR - Rutgers - 6'2'' 215 Lbs
    Alshon Jeffery - WR - South Carolina - 6'4'' 229 Lbs
    Dwight Jones - WR - UNC - 6'3'' 226 Lbs
    Vinny Curry - DE - Marshall - 6'3'' 265 Lbs
    Andre Branch - DE - Clemson - 6'4'' 260 Lbs
    Zach Brown - OLB - UNC - 6'1½'' 236 Lbs
    ---
    3.
    Kirk Cousins - QB - Michigan State - 6'3'' 205 Lbs
    Juron Criner - WR - Arizona - 6'2'' 220 Lbs
    Matt McCants - OT - UAB - 6'5½'' 309 Lbs
    Cam Johnson - DE - Virginia - 6'3¾'' 267 Lbs
    Nigel Bradham - OLB - Florida State - 6'1½'' - 237 Lbs
    Josh Kaddu - OLB - Oregon - 6'3'' 235 Lbs
    Travis Lewis - OLB - Oklahoma - 6'2'' 230 Lbs
    ---
    4.
    Ryan Lindley - QB - San Diego State - 6'3¾'' 229 Lbs
    DeVier Posey - WR - Ohio State - 6'1½'' 209 Lbs
    Marvin McNutt - WR - Iowa - 6'2½'' - 216 Lbs
    Mitchell Schwartz - OT - Cal - 6'5'' 317 Lbs
    Jack Crawford - DE - Penn State - 6'5'' 268 Lbs
    Terrell Manning - OLB - NC State - 6'3'' 225 Lbs
    Keith Tandy - CB - West Virginia - 5'10'' 202 Lbs
    ---
    5.
    Marvin Jones - WR - Cal - 6'2'' 198 Lbs
    Jarrett Boykin - WR - Virginia Tech - 6'2'' 218 Lbs
    Kevin Koger - TE - Michigan - 6'4'' 262 Lbs
    Tom Compton - OT - South Dakota - 6'5¼'' 314 Lbs
    Tyler Nielsen - OLB - Iowa - 6'3'' 235 Lbs
    Jacquies Smith - DE/OLB - Missouri - 6'3'' 255 Lbs
    Brandon Lindsey - DE/OLB - Pitt - 6'1½'' 250 Lbs
    Donnie Fletcher - CB - Boston College - 6'0¼'' 201 Lbs
    ---
    6.
    A.J. Jenkins - WR - Illinois - 6'0'' 192 Lbs
    George Bryan - TE - NC State - 6'5'' 265 Lbs
    Evan Rodriguez - TE/FB - Temple - 6'1½'' 242 Lbs
    Darius Fleming - OLB - Notre Dame - 6'2'' 255 Lbs
    Julian Miller - DE - West Virginia - 6'3½'' 256 Lbs
    ---
    7.
    Lance Lewis - WR - ECU - 6'1'' 209 Lbs
    B.J. Cunningham - WR - Michigan State - 6'1'' 209 Lbs
    Anthony Miller - TE - Cal - 6'3'' 255 Lbs
    Landon Walker - OT - Clemson - 6'5'' 301 Lbs
    Tank Carder - OLB - TCU - 6'2'' 236 Lbs
    Trevin Wade - CB - Arizona - 5'11'' 192 Lbs

    The list isn't in any ranking order within rounds, but it is listed by position.

    These are rough guesses before the combine moves some of their stock. Some are bound to go later or earlier than I have listed, that much is certain. Some of them have a range on where they can go like 2-3 or 4-6 etc, I might add those designations later.

    Some fits aren't listed due to where we are picking in the round.

    Feel free to comment and contribute.

    Re: Player Fits By Round 1.0

    I really like the inclusion of Miller in the 6th. I thought he looked very athletic in the E/W shrine game. I don't agree with all the rounds you have listed, butI do like your list of players.

    Oh yeah and I do think Bobby Wagner should be included at OLB in the 2nd for you guys.

      Yeah they aren't solid, as stated, but with what I have to go on, this is where I have them pegged.

      The combine will move grades no doubt, and I clearly don't have the time to grade everyone fairly, as I can't watch 2 or 3 games for each guy. Some were focused on more than others.

      What placements don't sit right with you?

        Re: Player Fits By Round 1.0

        Actually, for the most part I think it's pretty good. Mostly the second round guys... I think Tannehill, Sanu, Jeffrey, and Brown will be gone before 41 (first three will probably be top 25, though I'm shaky on Brown going... LBs tend to fall more than I expect.) Marvin Jones I think is a top 100 guy, and I wouldn't be surprised if AJ Jenkins moves into round 4 after the combine. Also, I'm not a big Lindley fan... I think he could possibly go undrafted.

        But that's, just like... my opinion, man.

          Oh yeah, and I also would like Nick Toon in the 3rd as a possibility for you guys!

            The 2nd rounders are a lot of "maybe 1st round" guys due to us picking early in the round. Depending on how teams value who, they could be there or not, that I know.

            Jeffrey doesn't scream top 25 anymore. He could easily be there. Tannehill and Sanu I have pegged for end of 1st / early 2nd pre-combine.

            Brown could light up the combine and move into the first. Linebackers with runningback speed and good size don't grow on trees.

            Marvin Jones I'm iffy on. I have him as 3-5 right now.

            We have an early and late pick in 4 and 5, so some are meant to be for the earlier one, and others the later.

              This class has a lot of big bodied WRs they may target, I still have a lot to add. Toon, Randle, Hill, Streeter.

              Hell, I wouldn't count Floyd out at #10 depending on what happens in FA and the combine. Of course it would be great if he was there at 41.

                  Adding it here would be fun! Isn't that what threads are for?

                    PM me :P

                    2.0 can be a combined effort.

                      I would add TE Dwayne Allen to round 2. He's a prospect I like a lot, and you know Nix and Gailey are fans of Clemson offensive players.

                      And I would probably add Ingram to round 1 and maybe a WR like Floyd.

                        Was just about to add some earlier TEs, but with the pressing D needs I've been hesitant to put one that early based on the other needs.

                          Re: Player Fits By Round 1.0

                          I believe that Buddy Nix has said he likes defensive ends with "length." By that, I think he means defensive ends who are on the tall side and with long arms. We also know the defensive system most associated with Dave Wannstedt calls for defensive ends and otside linebackers with lots of speed.
                          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.

                            That's why all but a few on the list have that, and why I'm hesitant on Upshaw being their pick at 10.

                            The only exceptions being Upshaw and Lindsey, and Lindsey is on there because of Wanny.

                              Yeah, I hear ya. If Coples is gone, it puts Nix in a difficult position given that finding a pass rusher is the #1 need this offseason. Buffalo may have to choose between waiting and hoping to find a fit at defensive end who might be of lesser quality, or picking a more talented guy early, who isn't as good a fit.
