Who will your NFL team draft?

    Lions Fan

    1.Jonathan Martin OT

    2.Josh Robinson CB

    3.Brandon Brooks G

    4.Marcus Fortson DT

    5.Olivier Vernon DE

    7.Donte Paige-Moss DE

    Sammie Lee Hill just signed his tender. Still think we take Fortson? Wasnt he a bigtime recruit coming out of HS? I'll have to look up this Vernon fella, I never heard of him. Im with ya on taking DEs though. Look how well that strategy has worked for the Giants. Are you the guy who doesnt want the Lions to take Mercilus if hes available at 23? I remember arguing with somebody about that pick a couple weeks ago.

    Im a USC homer but I think Gilmore is the clear #2 CB in this draft. Jenkins has too much baggage and could be out the league in 3 years and Kirkpatrick could easily outgrow CB. Gilmore didnt play much if any CB until his FR. He was the QB at his HS. I bet Jenkins isn't on half the teams draft boards.

    What are your thoughts towards him making plays. I've seen some concerns that he isn't a "playmaker" what are your thoughts on that?

    Basically can you give me a run down of his game from what you have seen?

    Meh on Decastro, Bills interior line is very solid already. And while Kuechly is a nice player, the Bills are locked in with Kelvin Sheppard at MLB, Nick Barnett at WLB, I don't a SLB is worth the 10th selection.

    I do think Nix likes Decastro, and it wouldn't be a bad pick, I just would prefer another player.

    Gilmore has been climbing boards, he isn't a huge playmaker but Mayock and Cosell seem very high on him. I want Floyd TBH, or a trade down and draft a LT like Glenn while picking up a 3rd.

    I know Decastro is a G but he’s an elite prospect and is worthy of a top 10 selection.

    I think Kuechly is better than Barnett right now but that’s just me.

    Gilmore is getting pushed up because of JJ’s and Dre’s off the field concerns. I like his game and upside, just not at 10.

    I don’t think Glenn is a LT in the NFL. Either a G or RT.

    I wouldn't doubt Kuechly is good, but I highly doubt he's better than Barnett right now. Barnett was a beast for the Bills last year and made a ton of big plays.

  • I'm a Titans fan. I'd love to see them draft another WR that has size/speed and can actually catch a damned ball, but that's just me. Knowing my luck, they'll go with defense (which would be smart too, considering their defense wasn't exactly a world beater last year.) Can't wait to the draft.

    How's Britt's recovery going? He was a 2 week beast in fantasy this year. Hopefully he makes a full recovery he was on his way to being a star imo.

    Hill is just a rotational NT IMO. I like his potential though. IIRC Forston was a big time recruit, I like him at 4 because of our rotation and the fact that Corey Williams is getting up in age (31). He would probably be the BPA at that stage as well.

    Vernon is a DE from Miami. He was suspended for a good part of this season because of the Shaprio scandal. I haven’t seen him play much but he had nice sophomore season and he was getting some hype before the season. A couple of places have said if he would of went back to UM this year he could have been a 2nd or 1st round pick in 13.

    lol Yeah I was that guy that didn’t like Merciuls. IIRC Dizzo didn’t like him that much either.

  • What do you guys think about FSU OT Zebrie Sanders? All bias aside. I was warming up to OSU OT Mike Adams(UM fan here), but then this failed drug test at the combine story came out and I flipped on him. Who does that with millions of dollars on the line? I quit smoking weed for $40k salary out of college...

    A lot of personnel guys seem to like sanders, but I was never impressed. Very much a finesse player. Would do best in a zone scheme

    I do. I miss the old days when it would start at noon on a Saturday.

    I've actually done an analysis (it was a follow-up to one I did last year) on Nix and how he drafts, using his time in San Diego as an indicator. I posted it on another message board, but it was picked up by someone and he's going to post an article on his website soon. I'll link it when he does.

    It came out a little later than I expected, but here it is. Keep in mind this was originally a post on a Bills message board, and it doesn't look like the guy changed much of anything. I thought he'd at least make it more of an article format.

    Hopefully very well. Kid is a legitimate #1, just hope he comes back to full strength.

    if he stays healthy and Johsnon goes back to being johnson you guys are gonna be dominating that division for a while, still think Locker is going to be the most successful QB in that draft class... and that's not a diss to Cam, I just think Locker is gonna be a freaking monster.

    I predicted the Bills would draft WR, CB, and OT (no particular order) in the first three rounds. Nailed it exactly.

    Also, for the first round I predicted Michael Floyd, Stephon Gilmore, and Cordy Glenn (in that order). Apparently they weren't high on Floyd, but other than that, not bad.

    I didn't do an overall mock draft as I didn't follow it too much this year because of work.

  • Nix loves him some mid-round LB's. I think the Bills will take (for the rest of the draft):

    LB (1)
    OT (1)
    WR (1)
    DB (1)

    And maybe a QB.

    I would love Menzie, and Burfict at some points.

    I imagine we take a bigger WR type project, and versatile OL, and we will take a QB. Nix says he always wants to take one.

    I would have liked Massie, but he went to the Cardinals.

    Burfict has the type of concerns that the Bills usually avoid. Don't expect him.

    Yeh I know Bills never take character risk guys, but IMO he's the type of guy worth the risk in the late rounds. If he screws up you cut his ass no problem, if not you have a potential difference maker at MLB.
