As we get into mid-February and we near the NFL combine things are starting to become clearer. Needs are being defined, players are starting to re-sign, and prospects stock is getting set. While there is still plenty left to question between now and the NFL draft, it’s time to take another look at some of the options the Bills have when it comes to their nine picks this year.

Re: Bills Mock 2.0
The last four picks....a guard, no name from Praire View who won't make it through camp, a fb..another postion they shouldn't waste a pick on. and a qb who is just a training camp arm that you can get anywhere.
I have a better idea, use those last four picks on flyers out of the SEC at positions of need.

Re: Bills Mock 2.0
I don't like the idea of using a pick on a FB either. We already have McIntyre and I don't think we would carry 2 FB's on the roster.
I also think there's close to a 0% chance that with 9 picks we don't draft a single DB. Nix said they want to add at least 2 CB's and we probably won't get both from free agency. Florence and McGee are both candidates for getting cut too.
So I would get rid of the G and FB picks and replace them with a CB and another LB.

Re: Bills Mock 2.0
7 (200). QB Alex Tanney, Monmouth
You didn’t think we would go the whole draft and not take a QB did you? Ryan Fitzpatrick was good last year but he was far from great and that is the issue. If you’re going to be a starting QB in the NFL you have to be great if you want to keep your job. Fitzpatrick’s struggles with accuracy and consistently drove fans mad last year during the collapse and because of that Fitzpatrick has every reason to have to look over his shoulder.
Tanney comes from Division III so many of you reading this probably haven’t seen him play before. You have however probably seen him throw as he is famous for his trick shot video which you can see here. Tanneyis a far better QB than just being a trick shot guy. He ran a complex offense in college that required speed and good decision making. He made many of the play calls on the fly and had to read the defenses and make adjustments as he saw them.
He’s never played in a situation where the LB’s are as fast as the CB’s he played against and the safeties can get to nearly every ball so he will have to adjust to that. He does have ideal size, strength, and skills to be a NFL caliber QB.

It was no huddle all game and basically he had to see it or else it was going to be a turnover. When watching them operate you can see just how advanced his field vision and pre-snap reads are.COMING SOON...

Re: Bills Mock 2.0
I'd be happy but not thrilled.
The Upshaw pick seems like people getting attached to one prospect like they do every year.
If Brown was there, that's a no brainer.
I like Allen, but in that spot I'd consider a few other prospects before him.
Kearse and Koger great picks filling needs there.
Not a fan of Reynolds, and interior line can get pushed to a later pick.
With Hamilton, I'd look elsewhere.
Wouldn't mind Figgins.
Can't comment on Tanney.

Originally posted by DraftBoyTanney plays in what was termed a super speed spread. The basic offense and routes are the same, but it was Tanney's job to call the play, make audibles, and snap the ball with AT LEAST 15 seconds on the play clock.

Maybe we can put a garbage can in the endzone and have our wr's run towards it so Tanney can hit them.Last edited by justasportsfan; 02-13-2012, 11:55 AM.

g- we are set inside if they get everyone back.
de- from another meaningless school, yes a need position, I could find you a half dozen players from the SEC at that point.
qb- a need, but not for a d-3 qb. Please.

OG-Huge IF and even then, we could use upgrades and depth
Neither one of your other statements is even worth responding to both are massive needs like I said.COMING SOON...
