Barron is a smoke screen?

[Lefty2985]

He wasn't thought of as someone going in the top 10 but sot after. So you get someone to trade up in front of you to draft him to help the guy you really want to slid due to the "surprise" pick

I can't wait for Thursday night. All this speculation is exhausting.

The Bills said they have 10 players, regardless of need or position, that they believe are just the best. They will take the 10th player, and i seriously doubt Brockers would be on it.

Think about it

Luck
RG3
Kalil
Claiborne
Blackmon
Richardson
Fletcher
Luke
DeCastro
Barron


I dont see how you can take any of these guys away for Brockers. Along with Floyd, Gilmore, Ingram, Coples. I dont see how Brockers makes the top 10 list on anyones team

Re: Barron is a smoke screen?

When will people learn?!?! Dont listen to **** week of the draft. Man we are high on this guy we are high on this guy. NOTHING is true that you hear the week of the fn draft. We dont need 40 threads saying we are high on this guy. No we are high on this guy. No this one is a smokescreen.

Fn clowns lol

Re: Barron is a smoke screen?

All this Baron talk maybe to try to force a team to trade ahead of you to take Baron. If Baron becomes a top 9 pick the player the bills really wants has a better chance of being on the board at 10.

Re: Barron is a smoke screen?

Is it really that hard to believe were interested in Barron. Buddy loves SEC players especially from lsu and alabama. Barron has been projected to go from 14-18 this whole time and the Bills really can't trade down to get him. Wilson is an average safety who played well last year granted but at 31 should not be expected to repeat that year after year. I really believe that Barron will be the pick and these are some of the reasons behind it.

Re: Barron is a smoke screen?

Chris Brown has Barron in his mock.
Which means the Bills want the world to know it.
He's their mouthpiece, or in this case their dog whistle.

I think your assessment on Wilson is spot on. He was having a good season last year, but overall is pretty average. He's a great story, great locker room guy and great in the community. At times, I think some of us fans confuse great guys with being great players. That stated, I still don't want Barron at 10 since Wilson is serviceable. However, I won't be as upset as some if that's the direction the Bills go. It would tell me that the Bills believe he is a significant upgrade over Wilson.

Re: Barron is a smoke screen?

Both Mike Mayock & Mel Kiper have said in the last couple days that Barron could be a top 10 pick.

Re: Barron is a smoke screen?

I think that Buffalo believes that by planting rumors about Mark Barron, everyone with think it's a smoke screen, thus enabling them to mask their real intentions of taking him, or not.

Re: Barron is a smoke screen?

The fact that theres a rumor that the Bills are high on the loser Tannehill should be a giant red flag that everything being heard right now is complete BS

Re: Barron is a smoke screen?

I just read an article in the NY POST that said Barron would be a great pick for the Jets. The Jets VP of college scouting said he was very good in coverage & he has 12 Ints for his career.

He looks like a player to me & if the Bills don't draft him, I hope NOBODY else in the AFC East does either.

Re: Barron is a smoke screen?

I read somewhere that San Diego wants Barron badly. Could this be Buddy Nix knowing how AJ Smith operates and trying to get him to trade a ransom to move up for the player he covets?

that's funny...i was just logging in to post the same thing after reading several reports this morning.

i know it's been stated a thousand times, but it really is all about leverage this close to the draft...which makes me believe the bills are trying to get the teams below us (cowboys, jets, eagles, chargers, bengals), some of whom have coveted barron all along, to bite on a trade up.

IF this is the case, it also tells us that nix feels whoever they want could be had a little lower........which would change our perception of who they are really considering at 10
