Todd McShay's first mock draft has us selecting...

[T-Long]

Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
The Bills could be in the market for a quarterback depending on how they feel about Ryan Fitzpatrick after this season, but there's no way Barkley has the arm to play in Buffalo in the winter. There is also no wide receiver worth taking this high to fill their need at that position. Te'o would give the team another young defensive leader up the middle with DT Marcell Dareus. He's a three-down linebacker who can handle the point of attack against the run and has shown plenty of ability in underneath coverage.

(Has Geno Smith going 8 to the Cardinals for those who are wondering)

If he falls past KC we really should move on him.

Re: Todd McShay's first mock draft has us selecting...

I won't complain with that pick.

Re: Todd McShay's first mock draft has us selecting...

I would love Te'o in Buffalo!!!

Re: Todd McShay's first mock draft has us selecting...

Bring him in...get the QB in the second.

I would definately move in the top 7 to take Geno Smith. As to me he's far more NFL ready then Ryan Tannehill who went at pick 8 last year, I also feel he's a better prospect than Jack Locker who went pick 8 in 2011. Yet don't think he's as good or Luck or Griffin or Newton.

Honestly i was on Genos dick a few months ago thinking he was the greatest blah blah. But he had so many down right ****ty games and did not show up at all in some big games, so i may be inclined to say no, unless he falls. I would tho trade up a pick or 2 for teo. It would just take a 3rd most likely

Re: Todd McShay's first mock draft has us selecting...

It would be perfect if we get T'eo and then take Glennon in the 2nd or trade back into the first for him.

Luke Kuechly, Rolando McLain, Aaron Curry, Keith Rivers are recent examples of LBs drafted high that failed to live up to their billing. I know everyone's looking for a Patrick Willis but he's an exception. I say trade up for Geno (as long as it not at pick #1) or look for a WR to develop to be a #2 because as good as Nelson/Jones/Graham are I don't see any of them as full time starters in this league and lord only knows what Stevie will be without Fitz as let's face they've only played with one another so he might slip with another QB. That or trade down a little and take a QB like in the early tweny portion of the draft to get a guy like Tyler Wilson (but I admit I'm not a fan).

this would friggin rule- I'd love for Buffalo to have a great player from ND.

We have Sam Young but the last really significant Bills player from ND that I can recall is Jeff Burris.

Quick who was that last Golden Domer to make an impact in the NFL? Jerome Bettis? I hate saying just because a player goes to X school he's going to suck but I admit have some reservations looking at guys from Notre Dame.

Would love it if the Bills drafted Te'o.

Justin Tuck.

Golden Tate is turning out to be decent. Zbikowski isn't a superstar but he's a good player.

[Mouldsie]

Re: Todd McShay's first mock draft has us selecting...

Harrison Smith has been good

[BertSquirtgum]

Re: Todd McShay's first mock draft has us selecting...

I want the Bills to draft Te'o no matter what position they end up with.

Keenan Allen would be a decent draft pick if Te'o isn't available.

Glennon in the second hopefully.
