"Mark Barron and Kuechly are logical picks for Buffalo"-Mayock

[Raptor]

Q. I would think like a Fletcher Cox and
talk about Mark Barron the safety, maybe move
up ahead of the Cowboys?

MIKE MAYOCK: And Barron is one of the
best players in this draft and I think he's going to
go between 10 and 15. But he has them ticketed
at 14 but there are other teams that could step up.
I mean, look at Buffalo with ten, for instance. They
are going to play New England twice a year with
those tight ends.
To me, Mark Barron and Luke Kuechly are
two logical guys for Buffalo.

I don't get the choice of Barron at all. As Wilson was great in the early part of the season and Searcy provided great depth last year. I'd love to trade down with Dallas (or Philly) if meant acquiring another pick and still come away with Reiff or Martin in the 1st.

I think we're solid at SS, but maybe Barron is a guy that could help the Bills trade down. After Barron there seems to be a decent amount of drop off at safety.

Elite instincts. Very similar to former PSU standout LB Sean Lee (Cowboys) in this department. Is disciplined. Takes very few false steps. Diagnoses play-action quickly. Locates the ball carrier as fast as any defender in the country. Always seems to be around the football. Gets the front seven lined up and is a very good on-field communicator.

Mayock doesn't actually watch the Bills. We don't need a safety early, maybe pick one up later for depth. Definitely need a LB though.

and where was Lee drafted? In the 2nd Round. Late 2nd at that. I stand by my mock
that posted http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...d.php?t=211296

or for a quick run down:

Round 1: LT Riley Reiff Iowa:
Round 2: OLB Lavonte David Nebraska
Round 3: WR Marvin Jones California
Round 4A: CB Josh Norman Coastal Carolina
Round 4B: TE Michael Egnew Missori
Round 5A: DE Julian Miller West Virginia
Round 5B: QB Austin Davis Southern Miss
Round 6:C Scott Wedige Nothern Illinois
Round 7A: WR Lance Lewis Eastern Carolina
Round 7B: CB Isaiah Frey Neveda

I honestly believe it'll come down to Floyd/Blackmon/Gilmore.

i think he understands than Nix doesn't care about need in the first round, he wants the BPA

Re: "Mark Barron and Kuechly are logical picks for Buffalo"-Mayock

You can find stars at every position who weren't first-round draft picks, so that cancels out.

But Barron won't be the BPA at ten. I guess BPA depends on who you ask, but if we take a safety at 10 and his name isn't Eric Berry, it's Whitner all over again.

That makes zero sense and Barron was a very good player at Alabama and way better than Whitner

It makes plenty of sense. Mark Barron is not a top ten talent, I watched Bama plenty. He's not an impact safety like Eric Berry, which is the kind of talent you would look for if you were taking a safety that high.

Not much else to discuss really, you might like him as a top ten talent but I don't. Question, who was the last top ten player at safety to leave a lasting impact on the game?

Floyd

Re: "Mark Barron and Kuechly are logical picks for Buffalo"-Mayock

Barron is NOT one of the best players in the draft.

In other drafts he'd be a 2nd rounder.

If we take him at No10, it will be the biggest reach of the draft and a ludicrous decision to the point where we can expect a new HC/GM in 2013.

We need an impact player, not an over rated one.

Mind you this is from the idiot Maycock who doesn't have Coples in his Top50. Lets hope Buddy isn't so stupid.
