Nightmare Draft Scenario

[Ground Chuck]

The 8 people drafted ahead of us are (in no order):

Bradford
Clausen
Suh
McCoy
Okung
Bulaga
Davis
Trent Williams

We would be stuck with taking a flyer on the 5th OT (Campbell), Berry, (who we don't need), McClain, Dez Bryant (a punk) or Dan Williams (who I'm starting to think will be the pick)

IF we think Bradford, or Clausen for that matter, is a franchise QB, I could see us trying to get into that Detroit slot at #2. I could see Detroit trying to get out of that slot because of the money they just spent. Plus the FO would have to see that the players left at 9 don't line up with our worse needs.

Trading down would be ok too

[DraftBoy]

That's far from a nightmare scenario for me.

[YardRat]

If that's the worse it can get, I'm OK with that. Not thrilled with 4 OT's off of the board, but if that's the case it leaves plenty of talent in other spots available and possibly opens up an opportunity to trade down and get an extra pick or two.

[SquishDaFish]

McClain

[jaycorp51]

If it happens like that (assuming we probably can't trade down), I'd take McClain

[baalworship]

McClain or Bryant.

I would also look at trade down possibilities.

[SABURZFAN]

i think the Bills should trade down. they talk how they want to rebuild through the draft.

Easier said than done.

And that is not a nightmare.

Bryant or McClain please.

[Ron Burgundy]

Eric Berry's hard to pass up there. He and Byrd would be just lethal. Bryant is a sick player but it's reported that can't even make it to the game on time.

Williams is probably the best option.

[Midwesternbillsfan]

If the Bills draft McClain, Mitchell is going to have to man one of the two starting OLB spots, even though the Bills are projecting him inside. The Bills' woeful collective collection of talent is going to dictate that Mitchell, at least for a season or two, is going to have to find a starting spot somewhere. As imperfect of a fit as he is, I can't envision anyone superior than him existing on the roster (assuming Schobel's retirement; accounting for Chris Kelsay's lack of athleticism; asssuming that a 4th-round rookie won't immediately supplant Mitchell).

The Bills just aren't good enough, talented enough, nor deep enough, and it'll be quite awhile before they are, to do anything other than deal with the reality that undesirable starters will have to man probably more than a few spots. We're starting from scratch here. We may not have made the Playoffs since Bill Clinton was still the nation's president- but that doesn't mean that we're anywhere closer to getting there.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

mcclain or bryant, most likely bryant...

[SABURZFAN]

Easier said than done.

it should be easy for them to do that unless they're going to overvalue the #9 pick.(which they're going to do)

If you find a team that wants to move up.

Since this is likely the last draft w/o a rookie cap, teams might not move up.

somebody will.

[YardRat]

If Berry, McClain and Bryant are all still on the board at #9 I think moving down gets a little bit easier.

[Mahdi]

That's a dream scenario for me... Bryant or Brandon Graham.

[Syderick]

They could always trade down

[Slim]

Dez Bryant in a heartbeat.

[patmoran2006]

I'm still not convinced they won't take McClain even if that scenario didn't play out.

I love the guy, though I heard some very mixed reviews on him from the combine and that he may have slipped a little down the board (probably to Miami at 12 at the latest though)

Dansby and McClain would be pretty beastly.
