2014 NFL Draft order: Top three needs for all 32 teams

[justasportsfan]

9. Buffalo Bills

Record: 6-10
Team needs: OT, safety, DE
Analysis: The Bills could use another offensive tackle as well as some youth at defensive end. Buffalo linebacker/pass rusher Khalil Mack would be a very popular pick, and his versatility would give defensive coordinator Mike Pettine a lot of flexibility.

I'll take Mack in the 1st, Austin Seferian-Jenkins in the 2nd and then who cares? ...Seriously OL the rest of the way

how is a receiver not a need?

WR is a need and not sure how DE supercedes it on that list. Unless the writer feels that because we took a WR in Round 2 and 3 of last year that they should develop in 2014 so the need isn't warranted and with that thought probably feels Mario isn't getting younger and don't have any other pass rushing DE that are worth replacing him and/or we need a run stopping DE.

Many of these so-called sports writers are just paparazzi who got a short-term writing gig, hoping for the time when they get a juicy peep job in Monaco or Zermatt etc.

It is, but not as big as LB & DT to fix our run defense, or OL to help QB and the Rb's. I love sexy picks, and if it helps us to cover one of our HUGE needs, let's do it!

I would replace DE with ILBer.

My first mock, first three picks...

1-Cameron Irving, OT, Florida State
2-Shayne Skov, LB, Stanford
3-Dion Bailey, FS, USC

I thought the same thing at first. Except Mario is 28 coming off a 13 sack season, and Jerry Hughes is 25 coming off a 10 sack season. He then mentions linebacker Mack as a linebacker/pass rusher when intending to talk about DE's (don't think he meant run stuffer) and we need a linebacker. Like it didn't occur to him we were plenty flexible on defense and 2nd in sacks. As the Byrd has not flown yet and Aaron Williams played well, not too sure why he included safety. Lazy writing work for a "top 3 needs list", imho.

It is either WR / OT, OT / WR then LB.

If they pick a DE/S I will lose my ****ing mind.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft order: Top three needs for all 32 teams

OL (G and T), do it all TE, S if we lose Byrd or a big NT to stuff the run and generate more solid DL depth

physical WR, developmental RB, CB, LB, P are all considerations as well

DE? Really? How can you take that writer seriously?

I want nothing to do with Mack.

The authors are quite frequently just taking a quick scan at the roster... They don't really know the teams.

I really don't see Ebron dropping that far. Love it if he did and we grabbed him.

I know, the guy who did that draft must be smoking crack.
