I looked at the Combine results and poured over some scouting sites. I'm a genius!
1. Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia - Talking strictly football, he's exactly what the Bills need on defense: a linebacker that can play inside or outside in a 4-3 and has the closing speed of a safety. He'll play the Will for Buffalo. Off-field issues? Well... he's worth the risk and he's better than Deion Jordan.
Major holes exist in the middle of the Bills' defense, why not take the best 4-3 LB that doesn't have spinal stenosis?
2. Ryan Nassib, QB, Syracuse - Imagine a better situation than having a QB who improved every year, stands up to pressure, can look off a safety and will be able to stay with the coach that raised him from when he was a young pup. There's something to be said about comfort level, confidence, and familiarity. It'll be like his 5th year.
3. Jordan Reed, TE, Florida - The addition of receiving weapons has to be a priority. The Bills struggled with only having one reliable receiver all year. Not many quarterbacks can be even moderately successful in that situation, let alone a rookie. Reed is an excellent receiver and should contribute right away. Buffalo is the place for receivers named Reed.
4. Ryan Swope, WR, TexasA&M - Really, Ryan? A 4.34, 40? No wonder Alabama couldn't cover him. That time could push him up a round but I'll hope he's there in the 4th. He has the strength to beat the jam and the acceleration to make that DB pay. He's one of those guys that will bust his ass and actually has the talent to make it worth a damn. The Bills could pick a WR earlier but I think they go to free agency first.
5. Jonathan Bostic, LB, Florida - A good ILB has to make a decision and go. Sheppard hesitates too often. Bostic gets good grades for his read-react time and goes all downhill. Plus, his name sounds good.
6. Jordan Mills, OT, Louisiana Tech - He played respectably at the Senior Bowl. Good enough.
