Over the weekend, I ran a poll (http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2012/3/24/2899792/2012-nfl-mock-draft-buffalo-bills) asking readers to guess who I'd picked for the Buffalo Bills (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/buffalo-bills) in the 2012 SB Nation NFL Writers Mock Draft, currently running over at MockingTheDraft.com (http://www.mockingthedraft.com/). A whopping 16 players were considered for the pick, including three - selected from picks 7-9 - that were ultimately not available when I made my selection.
Those three picks have now been made publicly available, with Jacksonville snagging Quinton Coples (http://www.mockingthedraft.com/2012/3/28/2908321/2012-sb-nation-nfl-mock-draft-round-1-pick-7), Miami taking Ryan Tannehill (http://www.mockingthedraft.com/2012/3/28/2907874/2012-sb-nation-nfl-mock-draft-round-1-pick-8) and Carolina selecting Fletcher Cox (http://www.mockingthedraft.com/2012/3/28/2908435/2012-sb-nation-nfl-mock-draft-round-1-pick-9). Those players are bold in the polling results listed below. I'll also toss out this final clue: at least 100 of the nearly 3,000 voters got this one right. (Whew?) You're down to 10 names, and you'll find out who the pick is tomorrow morning at 8AM. Anyone care to change their guess at the last minute?
