    Starting to think DL should be taken in the 2nd.

    My reasoning is that the draft class is very, very, very deep and with the Bills holding the 2nd pick in the 2nd round, we will still be able to get a very good DL at that position. Makes sense to address another need at a position where the depth is not as strong in this class, such as LB or QB. I'm a very big proponent of taking LB Von Miller at #3, as I see him as the closest thing to a sure thing in this draft...he's a stud. He's just so much better then the rest of the field, kind of reminds me of when Patrick Willis came out and he was miles better then the rest of the class.

    I could see taking him or, Quinn, Bowers, Fairley, or, Dareus. Its a great draft for D front 7 and hope we take 2 with picks 1 and 2.

    I'd like to see us go Dareus DE - Houston OLB if possible with our first 2 picks. Adds a lot of size and athleticism to the front 7 and should improve our pass rush.

    I don't care how deep it is, I want the player the Bills think is the best defensive lineman on the board at #3...We can go LB or elsewhere after that.

    Quinn.. we need someone to get after the Qb. If Merrimen can regain his form those 2 would cause major problems for opposing O

    I also like Quinn alot and think he may be the best edge rusher in the draft, very fluid and has a variety of pash rush moves, but its hard to pass up a DE like Dareus that can stop the run and apply pressure. Then the wild card Fairley, he can dominate games.

    One slight issue with your idea, this draft isn't that deep...

    Good post...........
    I am thinking more and more that Von Miller is the pick.......
    DL and LB is very deep going in the later rounds...

    What about Cam Heyward in the 2nd round?

    For the Bills it is because their first two picks should be automatic day one starters. [except qb}
    And if they can't find two players in the top 34 to start immediately on this defense then somebody better get fired in that scouting dept.

    I know its tempting to pick the fast guy, but this team needs BEEF, or Bison (which is slightly leaner).

    The DL is very deep in this draft, very deep.

    Agreed...and Heyward is a guy who I think would be there in the 2nd. This guy was considered a possible top 10 pick at one point and I believe he'd be a steal in the 2nd. I just see a ton of talented DL in this draft that gives us an opportunity to go in a different direction with that first pick.

    Re: Starting to think DL should be taken in the 2nd.

    Then maybe Tyron Smith in the first...then someone like Cameron Heyward or Muhammad Wilkerson, etc. in the second.
