The Problem with this years Draft

[Mike]

The more I am reading post & comments regarding the draft a few consensus themes emerge:
Our Needs: OT, CB, WR, DE, LB, QB
1) OT: no LT is worth top 10 pick outside of Kalil
2) CB: kirkpatrick & gillmore might be reaches @ 10
3) WR: Floyd & Blackmon might be gone, no other WR worth #10
4) DE: Coples is hit/miss type of prospect. Ingram is better for 3-4.
5) LB: Kuechly is a better Poz
6) QB: Tennenhill @ 10 is a reach for a late 1st round talent.
7) SS: Barron, remember Whitener?
8) G: Decastro great player but he's a Guard. We don't need a guard a nd a guard at 10 is a reach.

Anyways, the consensus is that just About no-one is worth 10th Pick. Unfortunately, and I hope we trade out, we will have to make that selection come draft day. So who do you take?

Neither Kirkpatrick or Gilmore will be a reach at #10.

The consensus? Who would that be? Suggesting there isn't a "worthy" player at 10 is beyond absurd.

Not using last years draft because players normally develop the most after 1 year. So let's go back one year before that and look at the 2010 draft.

The following players were selected after the 10th pick:

Jason Piere-Paul (15th), Maurkice Pouncey (17th), Dez Bryant (24th), Rob Gronkowski (42nd).

There will be plenty of great players. They may not be on your mock draft sheet.

I wanted Pouncey or DeMaryius Thomas that year.

Re: The Problem with this years Draft

Barron should never be placed in the same sentence as Whitner and I'd have no problem drafting Kuechly if he ends up being a better Poz. We'll get a great player at 10, but I'd prefer if we could somehow trade back

Re: The Problem with this years Draft

Gilmore and Kirpatrick are like a 2 pick reach. Floyd will likely be there tho, i think the he came close to beating out Blackmon as the number 1 WR, but will fall short. If he had like one more month of studying and workouts, hed be number 1.

There is no such thing as a 2 pick reach.

Dude, what im saying is everyone has both going from 12-20, yet being at 10 is a reach

I don't know which of your points are more funny. The two pick reach or needing more time to study film and watch workouts.

Re: The Problem with this years Draft

The Bills do seem to be in an awkward position at #10, but you don't know who may fall.

The important thing is that there WILL BE a great player available at that spot. The not-so-easy task is identifying that player and taking him. People get too hung up on position, although it's good news that the Bills are on the cusp of having that consideration play in more.

Like I say, it's entirely possible that one of our later picks turns out to be a better player than the first pick, too. We have 10 picks. The draft doesn't end after round one.
