    Todd McShay's first mock draft has us selecting...

    Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
    The Bills could be in the market for a quarterback depending on how they feel about Ryan Fitzpatrick after this season, but there's no way Barkley has the arm to play in Buffalo in the winter. There is also no wide receiver worth taking this high to fill their need at that position. Te'o would give the team another young defensive leader up the middle with DT Marcell Dareus. He's a three-down linebacker who can handle the point of attack against the run and has shown plenty of ability in underneath coverage.

    (Has Geno Smith going 8 to the Cardinals for those who are wondering)

    If he falls past KC we really should move on him.

    I would definately move in the top 7 to take Geno Smith. As to me he's far more NFL ready then Ryan Tannehill who went at pick 8 last year, I also feel he's a better prospect than Jack Locker who went pick 8 in 2011. Yet don't think he's as good or Luck or Griffin or Newton.

    Re: Todd McShay's first mock draft has us selecting...

    Honestly i was on Genos dick a few months ago thinking he was the greatest blah blah. But he had so many down right ****ty games and did not show up at all in some big games, so i may be inclined to say no, unless he falls. I would tho trade up a pick or 2 for teo. It would just take a 3rd most likely
    Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions

    It would be perfect if we get T'eo and then take Glennon in the 2nd or trade back into the first for him.

    Luke Kuechly, Rolando McLain, Aaron Curry, Keith Rivers are recent examples of LBs drafted high that failed to live up to their billing. I know everyone's looking for a Patrick Willis but he's an exception. I say trade up for Geno (as long as it not at pick #1) or look for a WR to develop to be a #2 because as good as Nelson/Jones/Graham are I don't see any of them as full time starters in this league and lord only knows what Stevie will be without Fitz as let's face they've only played with one another so he might slip with another QB. That or trade down a little and take a QB like in the early tweny portion of the draft to get a guy like Tyler Wilson (but I admit I'm not a fan).

    this would friggin rule- I'd love for Buffalo to have a great player from ND.

    We have Sam Young but the last really significant Bills player from ND that I can recall is Jeff Burris.

    Quick who was that last Golden Domer to make an impact in the NFL? Jerome Bettis? I hate saying just because a player goes to X school he's going to suck but I admit have some reservations looking at guys from Notre Dame.

    Justin Tuck.

    Golden Tate is turning out to be decent. Zbikowski isn't a superstar but he's a good player.

    I want the Bills to draft Te'o no matter what position they end up with.

    Keenan Allen would be a decent draft pick if Te'o isn't available.

    Glennon in the second hopefully.

    Unless they do something like trade for Rivers, I can't imagine him falling past them.

    That could be Pioli's biggest screw up, making Cassel the foundation of his rebuilding.

    I doubt Pioli makes it through the offseason anyways, and if Bills fans think they have a QB problem, they haven't watched the Chiefs play.

    but if he does, yeah, I'd be on the phone with teams 5 6 and 7.

    I like Te'o. I would like to see the following considered with our 2nd rd pick: TE Eifert, DT Jesse Williams, OT Fluker......then if the Bills like Glennon....move up from 3rd rd into late 2nd to get him

    Re: Todd McShay's first mock draft has us selecting...

    It's such a pathetic year for quarterback prospects.

    I guess I'd be okay taking a flyer on Geno Smith if he fell to us, but hardly anyone else interests me.

    Manti Te'o seems like a safe pick who fills an obvious need.

    Why Wanny is so slavishly enamored with Kelvin Sheppard, I will never know.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Or, then again, maybe I do know.

    Because Wanny is awful.

    We'll NEVER pick him...because he's a great player in an area of need and makes total sense to the rest of planet earth.

    The Bills will select a OT with Scoliosis, who may be ready by 2014 after surgery. They always know better.
