Tannenbaum Mock

[jdbillsfan]

Ex GM of the Jets. Interesting Mock:

1) Joeckel
2) Milliner
3) Floyd
4) Lotulelei
5) Jordan
6) Warmack
7) Geno
8) Kenny Vaccaro

Reasoning - Byrd no contract, Lost Wilson. Struggle defending NE and Gronk/Hernandez. He can blitz, cover and play the slot. great athlete...

[ServoBillieves]

Please no.

[Skooby]

Oh man.

[T-Long]

this is why he is an EX GM.

[The Jokeman]

If we take another S with a top 10 pick I might just give up my fandom to this team.

[Pinkerton Security]

Considering most rankings barely have him in the Top 15 prospects, if we get him at this spot, well im just gonna snap.

A defensive back. Of course.

Mike Tannenbaum's done his homework on our dumpster fire franchise.

We just can't help ourselves when it comes to DB's in the first round.

I better start dusting off my facepalm gifs for draft day.

[TigerJ]

I don't want Vaccaro for the same reason I don't want Warmack. We'd be spending our highest draft pick to tred water, making little or no progress toward improving the team. It's not that they won't be great players. It's that they represent only modest upgrades over the players Buffalo would be losing, Byrd and Levitre. When I draft a guy that high in the first round, I want to be turning a weakness into a strength, not making a strength just a little stronger.

[kingJofNYC]

They were ready to take Barron last year with the 10th pick. I said it a few times, Vaccarro is definitely in play with the 8th pick. Our safeties are Byrd, Searcy, and undrafted free agents.

Get used to the idea because its a possibility. Thankfully this draft is pretty deep at safety so they may be able to take one later, but they also have to draft a WR, LB, QB, and possibly a G. Not enough fingers to plug the holes.

[coastal]

We r taking Tyler Wilson if he is available.

[kishoph]

If Byrd doesn't get a contract, he'll be tagged and I also can see Aaron Williams moving over to safety.

[Mahdi]

Byrd just being let go? Don't think so. Don't know how he came up with that.

[kingJofNYC]

If Byrd doesn't get a contract, he'll be tagged and I also can see Aaron Williams moving over to safety.

That doesn't mean he can actually play the position.

I dont think they're taking a QB top ten, they missed their opportunity in the 2nd and 3rd rounds the last couple of years and are paying for it.

If they reach in the top ten they'll be paying for it again. Do like Wilson though.

[coastal]

Byrd isn't going anywhere. He will be signed or tagged.

Levitre on the other hand...

[DynaPaul]

And this mock just shows why Tannenbaum is clueless.

[better days]

Byrd isn't going anywhere. He will be signed or tagged.

Levitre on the other hand...

......will be signed.

[more cowbell]

This guy isn't even half the prospect that Mark Barron was...I don't care what anyone says. Plus...the Bills have had GREAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT luck with Texas players in recent memory.

[jdbillsfan]

Gil Brandt has him at 18, but compares him favorably to Barron. I think the Bills will lock up Byrd, but right now he is a FA and this mock is as of right now. Not sure if Vaccaro can play SS, but without Byrd, the only Safety on the roster is Searcy. Not out of the question that safety is a need. Barron went high and actually had a good year.

18) Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas
I think he's every bit as good as Mark Barron, who was picked seventh overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2012 and went on to have a very good rookie year. The tough Vaccaro is athletic enough to cover the slot receiver; he never slows down.

If he has a good combine, I could see him moving up.

[kingJofNYC]

He's a better cover guy than Barron, absolutely no question about it, none whatsoever. Go watch what he did to Austin when they played WVU. Didn't matter though because their D still got torched all over the place. He's definitely not an in the box guy.

Having Byrd and Vaccaro can be a bit redundant, they're very similar players, though Byrd is more of a center fielder than Vaccaro. Vaccaro's more of a nickel/man safety than a deep half or middle of the field defender, but that doesn't mean he can't do it. Was asked to cover the slot guy a lot in the Texas system, and he was exceptional at it.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Totally off base. Wow so out of touch.

if the draft were to shake down like this, i would think that BPA would be Bjoern Werner- DE and the Bills take him. JMO.
