Buffalo Bills 2015 Mock Draft Contest

[YardRat]

One point if Buffalo makes a pick in the specific round, one point for correct position, two points for picking the exact player (possible 4 pts total per pick for an exact match). If you want to project trades, go for it. Please use the format below.

Round-
2-
3-
5-
6a-
6b-
7-

Tie-breaker--Who will Cleveland choose with Buffalo's original first round pick (#19)? If you think 'nobody' and they will trade the pick, choose the team they trade with.

I'll see if I can get Bedard (or somebody) to whip up a flashy banner for the winner's sig as a prize.

[CleveSteve]

Tiebreaker: Nelson Agholor, WR USC

[The Jokeman]

2- Paul Williams DB Florida State. S/CB tweener who could help in at S depth early on and eventually move to CB to replace Gilmore or McKelvin long term. I've seen some scouting reports compare him to Gilmore but the talk about him losing receivers in coverage reminded me of McKelvin. As let's not forget there was some talk we might have pursued Revis and Whaley did mention in the predraft luncheon we need to address CB/S depth and guys drafted in Round 6 or 7 might struggle getting a roster spot.

3- John Miller, OG Louisville. He fits the power G we need and we've had him in for a predraft visit. He makes sense but if I had a choice I would have preferred taking AJ Cann at pick 50 and Clive Watford with this pick.

5- Tyler Kroft, TE, Rutgers. Mixed reports say he can be a good split TE and some say he's a good blocker. I guess that means he has a chance to develop into a complete TE. Whaley mentioned in the predraft luncheon we might go 4 TEs heading into the season which tells me we need a body and think Kroft offers good development value in Round 5.

6a-Andy Gallik, C, Boston College. We lack depth at the position. So he might be able to walk in and get the job no questions asked and has the moxy to fit in well with the power scheme Ryan/Roman want.

6b-= Angelo Blackson, DT, Auburn. A guy who could add depth as a true NT that we don't have on the roster. I guess Dareus starts there in 2015 and Blackson could add to depth and let Charles compete for a starting DE spot.

7- Kristjan Sokoli, DE, Buffalo Homer pick but has the size to me a DE in Rex's 34 and tested better then one would think. Good PR move and who knows might be a PS guy his first few years and eventually will be a good depth guy.

Tiebreaker: Breshad Perriman, WR, Central Florida. Everyone knows the Browns need a WR and defensive lineman. They take the lineman at pick 12 and take what's left over of the top 4 WRs with pick 19.

5 DT JOEY MBU
6a OT JAMON BROWN
6b CB TRAY WALKER
7 FB AARON RIPKOWSKI

[cookie G]

50 R2P18 G ALI MARPET HOBART - Some people see this as a sentimental, feel good pick that isn't worth the round. Wrong. He's probably the best overall athlete of any interior lineman in the draft. Speed, first step, strength, lateral agility. Its already there. Held up very well at the Senior Bowl practices. Smart, will pick up things early. Give him a year and he's going to be a starter at guard for years to come.

81 R3P17 QB BRYCE PETTY BAYLOR

The annual foray into the QB prospects. I agree with Ingtar..if you're going to draft him, let him sit for a year or two and let him learn the system.

155 R5P19 OT MITCH MORSE MISSOURI

Projected as a guard after playing left and right tackle at Mizzou. I really wanted Mark Glowinski of West Virginia (an up and comer) but he was taken 3 spots ahead of my pick. In terms of measurables, Morse is up there in both the strength and agility categories. (36 bench reps, around 4.5 in the shuttle) He's NOT limited athlete, but he needs work.

188 R6P12 ILB BRYCE HAGER BAYLOR

Short at 6'1", but he runs a 4.5 40 and was Baylor's leading tackler. 2 time all Big 12. At worst, a special teamer contributor.

194 R6P18 OT JAMON BROWN LOUISVILLE

Surprisingly quick for a guy that weighs 323. RT and LT at Louisville. Ran a 5 flat 40 and a sub 1.8 10 yard split. At the East West Shrine Game, they put him next to his teammate John Miller for a while, and they had a lot of fun opening holes on the right side. They were knocking people around on every play.

234 R7P17 OLB ALANI FUA BYU

Undersized, but room to add strength/bulk, at 6'4". Ran a 4.5 40. A good strength and conditioning program might do him good.

I'm projecting Buffalo trades down (from #50) with Baltimore in exchange for the Raven's second rounder (#58) and Whaley fills in the fourth round blank with the Raven's second pick in that round (#125)...

2-Grady Jarrett, DT, Clemson
3-Clive Walford, TE, Miami
4-James Sample, SS, Louisville
5-Taiwan Jones, ILB, Michigan State
6a-Chaz Green, OT, Florida
6b-Max Garcia, C, Florida
7-Quandre Diggs, CB, Texas

Tie-breaker- Cleveland at #19 = Eddie Goldman, DT, Florida State

I passed on a QB because I don't think the team will look for one early to replace either Cassell, EJ or Taylor this season. They'll bring in an UDFA to supplant Tuel's spot on the PS then possibly be looking at a higher-round QB next year.
