MY MOCK...

[NOT THE DUDE...]

2012 MOCK DRAFT
1 RILEY REIFF OT
2 VINNY CURRY DE
3 RUSSELL WILSON QB
4 TANK CARDER LB
4 JOSH NORMAN CB
5 CORYELL JUDIE CB
5 MARQUIS MAZE WR
6 MATT REYNOLDS OT
7 BPA
7 BPA

[Jan Reimers]

MAJOR DISASTER.

MAJOR DISASTER.

no no it isn't see this guy doesn't actually pick for the Bills

Maybe it was a personal comment. :biggrin:

[NOT THE DUDE...]

MAJOR DISASTER.

why?

[CleveSteve]

Picks 3 and 4a are reaches but really it's not terrible. Reiff is probably the 2nd-best LT in the draft and Curry is a 3-down DE. Norman would be a nice pickup in the 4th. Judie's not bad.

Probably better off taking your 2nd OT in the third (or an OLB) then taking Carder in the 5th or 6th. I think you could switch it up like this:

2012 MOCK DRAFT
1 RILEY REIFF OT
2 VINNY CURRY DE
3 MITCHELL SCHWARTZ OT
4 JOSH NORMAN CB
4 RUSSELL WILSON QB
5 CORYELL JUDIE CB
5 MARQUIS MAZE WR
6 TANK CARDER LB
7 BPA
7 BPA

Getting two guys who can start at OT would be a win for the Bills. Not my best-case scenario but not a MAJOR DISASTER imo.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

i think the bills have a higher opinion on wilson and carder

[DrGraves]

I APPRECIATE THAT YOU USE CAP LOCKS BECAUSE I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO READ YOUR POSTS OTHERWISE!

[better days]

why?

Reiff at #10 & Wilson in the 3rd rnd are my biggest problems with your mock. Reiff is not a top 10 talent & I hate using a top 10 pick to draft for need. The 3rd rnd is way to high for Wilson, he can probably be had in the 5th. I also do not like your waiting until the 5th rnd for WR.

I get this and it's a valid concern, but it will be very difficult to get a LT who can start at a passable level as a rookie outside the first round in this draft. I think the Bills should trade up for Kalil or trade down to take Reiff or Martin (maybe even Adams) but good luck finding a starting LT by the time pick #41 rolls around. I think if the Bills pass on Reiff he'll probably go 13 to the Cards, so at what point is he not a reach?

Reiff may not even be able to play LT any better than Hairston does. He has been projected at RT by most experts.

I would love for the Bills to get Kalil, but I doubt it happens. I would rather the Bills wait & draft Glenn or Adams than use the #10 pick on Reiff myself.

Those are some of my issues, too, as well as drafting a DE in the 2nd when we just spent $120 Mil or so on 2 big time pass rushing DEs. Oh, and Carder is pretty much like Sheppard, and you'd like more than depth out of a 4th rounder.

Wait and draft Glenn or Adams where? I highly doubt either will be there at 41, I don't think Glenn makes it to 20 and I don't think Adams makes it out of the first.

I agree, I think the Bills can either trade down from #10 or trade up from the 2nd rnd.

Yeah, to me trade down and get one of the tackles around 14-18 is the best case scenario for the Bills picking up an extra second. I think this would be a great start of the draft for the Bills:

1. OT Martin
2a. OLB Lavonte David
2b. OLB Bobby Wagner
3. OT Schwartz (or Mosley or Massie)

I'm having a hard time thinking of a player available at #10 that would make another club want to trade up. Perhaps DeCastro or Glenn. Maybe Cox.

I'd imagine that if #11 KC wanted DeCastro, they'd just wait.

[CleveSteve]

I could see a team wanting to move up for Kirkpatrick. Maybe Coples. If someone really wanted Poe they'd probably feel like they had to move ahead of KC. I don't think the chances are good for Buff to trade down, though.

Under the theory that every club covets a CB - yes - Kirkpatrick might attract.

FWIW, CIN seems to be backing out of picking a G - they signed FA's Terrell Wharton (CAR) and Jacob Bell (STL) - between the two, 199 starts out of 208 game appearances.

Although if DeCastro fell...

Regarding Glenn - they'd think about him (G/C). Their OL coach Paul Alexander likes versatility.

I can think of a few.........Floyd, Coples, Ingram, DeCastro, Reiff........as a RT.

I don't have a problem with drafting a DE early, or any DL for that matter. There are three areas where you can never have enough depth; QB, OL, and DL. Now as to the player drafted, I don't personally like it.

Edit: While I don't personally care for your mock, I appreciate the effort you put into setting it up. It's always interesting to see what people are thinking.

iN MY OPINION if the Bills don't get Blackmon or Floyd in the 1st then every thing they did this off season is wasted
