As many of you know. This is just something I like to do leading up to the draft. I look at a lot of mock drafts, hundreds of them to tell the truth. Some of them seem to have a good handle on what the Bills need. On the other hand, some of them seem to be completely clueless. I like to recognize for Bills fans the ones that seem to me to stand out from the crowd for their cluelessness. Out today is one from the NFL Draft Room. This is a two round affair. In the first round this mock drafter projects that Buffalo addresses a dire need (my words) to add a defensive tackle, and drafts Star Lotulelei. Huh. So who will they send to the bench Marcel Dareus? Kyle Williams? Alan Branch? Mario Williams? It's not that Star Lotulelei isn't a great player (if his heart issue doesn't crop up again) but just where is the need? Well, the mock drafter redeems himself when he projects Manti Teo to the Bills in round 2. At this point it appears the Bills project that Nigel Bradham will move inside to join Kelvin Sheppard. Teo had an outstanding college career at Notre Dame, and might be an upgrade over Kelvin Sheppard, but that's not a certainty. The big issue with this mock is what it doesn't address. The most obvious needs are on the offensive side of the ball where the best QB options for the Bills at the moment are journeymen and the cupboard is pretty bare at WR. I know I wouldn't be very happy if the Bills drafted this way. http://nfldr.blogspot.com/p/2013-nfl-mock-draft.html

Unless we trade KW, this would make no sense. Or if we run a 5 DL 2 LB scheme lol. Star in the middle, KW, MD on the guards, and Mario and Anderson as DEsNot here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions

Don't confuse me with the facts.

Re: A New Bills idiot mock award
If the Cowboys draft Tyler Wilson in the first, I'll eat my hat. They just guaranteed Tony Romo $55 million.
This guy says Wilson "has all the tools to be an elite passer in the NFL," so that's why the COWBOYS will pick him at #18. The Cowboys aren't even in the market for a BACKUP quarterback, really...they have Kyle Orton signed for 2 more years.
This idiot mock has three teams picking a QB in the first TWO rounds: the Cowboys, Bears, and Jets...oh, and the BRONCOS...
You're right, TigerJ, this guy is clueless.Last edited by feldspar; 04-12-2013, 02:59 PM.

Originally posted by Johnny Bugmenot View PostIn his defense, the QB class looks like crap this year. It was only three years ago that there were indeed only three picked: Bradford, Tebow and Clausen. Bradford's Rams are in the basement, Clausen flamed out, and Tebow is currently a third stringer. So, either we end up with a similar problem this year or that position ends up grossly overvalued.
Even if it did, which it won't, he has teams that are set at QB picking them:
The Broncos have Peyton Manning, and they drafted Brock Osweiler in the second round last year.
I already said why it's idiotic to think the Cowboys will take a QB in the first.
That's the big thing...the Cowboys. LOL.
And why would THESE teams pick QBs when they have starters & backups if the class is so weak? I could see that maybe the Bears might want to pick up a guy to develop sometime in the draft.
The Bills will pick a QB in the first two round, for one...they certainly aren't going to pick a DT at #8, I'll tell you that.

Re: A New Bills idiot mock award
The Manti Teo pick in the second round wouldn't be a stretch at all if he was still available. Whether his game translated to the NFL or not would be a different story.
Kelvin Sheppard has been completely horrible and anybody who thinks otherwise hasn't been paying much attention to him. In reality it shouldn't take much to find an upgrade over him if we drafted a LB in the second or even third round.
In the first four rounds after we get a QB and in no specific order we need to draft a LB, WR and CB depending on who is the best available player at the position when the pick comes up. LB is one of our biggest needs since Sheppard has been garbage and it's not like Bradham is a highly touted player. Even if we were fine there now that we're switching to a 34 it makes it an even bigger need. Manny Lawson isn't an every down player(or shouldn't be) and we need multiple bodies just to fill out the unit let alone having legitimate starters and/or backups. We don't have one legitimate starting LB at this time and yet we're going to have four of them on the field at a time.Last edited by BillsFever21; 04-12-2013, 08:47 PM.

Re: A New Bills idiot mock award
If the Bills had picked a QB in the first, then Teo in the second wouldn't be much of a stretch. It's a stretch to think of the Bills not drafting an offensive player in either round one or two.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
