Official Bills Zone NFL Draft Thread--Day One

[LifetimeBillsFan]

I know it's early, but with Houston signing Mario Williams and passing on Reggie Bush with the # 1 pick in the draft this is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable NFL drafts ever. Day One is looking like it's going to be a really wild day, so strap on your seatbelts, sit back and enjoy the ride!

The draft doesn't officially start for another approx. 6 hours and 15 minutes, but the action could begin at any moment this morning.

Houston is on the clock and their pick of Mario Williams won't be official until they hand their card into the Commish, with Reggie Bush now going to still be on the board when New Orleans goes on the clock for the second pick in the draft and 5 teams reportedly already having contacted the Saints about trading up to the # 2 spot, the jockeying in the Top 10 has already begun.

You can bet that the phones will be ringing and the airwaves singing all morning long! The Sun is up and anything can happen. It's going to be interesting and a lot of fun, especially to see what Marv Levy and the Bills braintrust decide to do with their picks! I can't wait!!!

LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!
GO GET 'EM, MARV!!!

I really thought last night that the Saints were definitely going to trade that their 2nd pick because they could get so much for it, but last night ESPN reported the Bush's agent said the Saints were going to pick him. Plus the fact that, Bush is really the type of player they need to fill up the stands in that devastated city...

I just hope Bush won't be a Jet!

I seen that too.. Someone suggested the Saints rep would sprint to the podium to take Bush.. Personally I dont buy it.

But at the end of the day it would be hard to pass him up..

The saints wont take bush. but they have to make you belive they will if they want to trade the pick.

I think the Jets trade up, Take bush. Tenn takes Matt Lienart, New Orleans takes D Brick, Green Bay takes Hawk, SF takes Davis, Oak takes Young.

Our phone then rings off of the friggin hook to get Cuttler. IF Oakland passes on young we still will not take a QB because Marv isn't going to wait 3-4 years for a guy to develop. We will then get a better offer to trade down than what we would have got with just 1 QB there.

Marv and Ralph won't wait for JP and give him an undisputed full season so they aren't going to start over. If none of the QB's on this roster is the guy, look for us to try and sign a Veteran that can lead us or trade for one if possible. We wont' take a QB in round 1.

If you read between the lines with what Modrak said more than once last week, Broderik Bunkley is probably going to be the pick. His preference (Modrak) is for Defensive Tackle in round one.

Thats why I think we heard Levy talk last week on bb.com about trading down no more than 4 spots, if they do at all.

But my question pat is how far can we move down and still get Bunkley? I think no further than 11 with STL. Thoughts?

Detroit wont take a DT.. Arizona will take a QB or Justice.. and the Rams will probably take Ngata.

Cleveland may jump on Bunkley at 12.

So IMO, 3 spots to be safe, and DEFINITELY no more than 4 spots.

I think there is a good possibility Detroit takes a DT. They dont have Wilkinson anymore that just leaves Rogers and Tayoka Jackson. Since they are switching to a Cover 2 as well they could definitely use a DT like Bunkley.
