Round 2 Pick 12: Cordrea Tankersley, CB, Clemson (A)
Round 3 Pick 11: Dion Dawkins, OT, Temple (A)

Round 7 Pick 20 (DEN): Zane Gonzalez, K, Arizona State (A+)

The first one sucks

Peppers isn't a true safety and has no fit in our defense. I like the 2nd and 3rd round picks and this has Sprinkle in the 5th round??? I wouldn't draft that idiot with a 7th round pick! If you guys don't know, this idiot robbed a Belk prior to the Belk Bowl when he already had $450 worth of free Belk as a reward for making the bowl. I would remove him from my board completely, I mean that's a special kind of stupid.


2nd draft looks a lot better. Williams is a good pick and so is Conley, love the Leggett pick in the 3rd round, I'm pretty high on him as a tight end. No complaints about the later picks either.

I had to google Belk, had no idea what it was. From your statement, it sounded like a smurf-like reference lol. He smurfed a smurf prior to the smurf...

I like this one, but didn't get a trade offer to add a 7th for a kicker:

Your score is: 9553 (GRADE: B)

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 10: Malik Hooker, FS, Ohio State (A+)
Round 2 Pick 12: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Southern California (A)
Round 3 Pick 15 (IND): Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida (A+)
Round 4 Pick 14 (IND): Adam Shaheen, TE, Ashland (A+)
Round 5 Pick 12: Erik Magnuson, OT, Michigan (A-)
Round 5 Pick 31: Obi Melifonwu, SS, Connecticut (B)
Round 6 Pick 11: Eddie Vanderdoes, DT, UCLA (A-)

How You Matched Up:
1. Oakland Raiders - 10222
2. Carolina Panthers - 9844
3. Buffalo Bills - 9553

Graded a B, but 3rd best draft in this mock? Surprised Hooker slid, that was an easy pick. Same with JuJu in the second and Wilson in the 3rd.

LOL!! I thought Belk was a store or something, I never googled it so I'm making assumptions here. LOL!! That could have been broken up had I known what Belk is, but I don't so oh well

What's going on in the third round with all these different Tackles? Are ones from previous drafts not available for the next? Taken earlier? Better ones fall?

Just curious

There's a lot of volatility in the mock drafts right now. I also used a different site this time. Gennesy was the top OT available this time around. I've seen Cam Robinson slide to the 2nd round in one of these mocks, or go in the top 10 in others. Once there's a lot more traffic on these sites, the rankings should settle until the combine.

 

[David_son]

My observation is that is we dont go defense we should take a WR our line is not awful just need a RT we need to keep taylor but if we dont there is no big name QB that would be worth taking at 10

 

[David_son]

Also I would like to see if our CBs improve if they arent on an Island all the time. God forbid Rex ever give them some help.

I'm sure they would, but will Gilmore be back (FA)? Not the best timing to have a down year, but will his cost come down as a result? It's a relatively thin CB FA market, so probably not.

Latest Fanspeak mock (freshly updated CBS rankings):

10: R1P10 WR Mike Williams, Clemson
44: R2P12 CB Gareon Conley, Ohio State

157: R5P12 FS Lorenzo Jerome, St Francis (PA)
172: R5P27 C Jon Toth, Kentucky
196: R6P11 TE Eric Saubert, Drake

I am hoping that he will be cheaper and easier to resign

It's clear now that Rob Ryan is the reason our secondary fell apart this year

He was only here a year so I think these players are salvageable

I don't like the idea of Tabor at 10, I don't think he's worth that high of a pick.

Hodges could be a matchup nightmare tight end

if we somehow got Godwin in the 5th round it would be the steal of the draft, I've seen him go in the 2nd round of some mocks

I guess we will see if we didnt have so much money tied up in players like Clay we could have resigned him earlier. We are pretty thin in the secondary even with him so I hope we can get him locked up. I will say so far Whaley has been good about resigning our own guys so lets hope the continues

Is that last sentence a joke? Whaley has been good? We are LAST in the NFL with 32 drafted players in his four years. Perhaps you've heard of Fred Jackson? One year from retirement, breathed and bled Buffalo blue.... lied to and shunned.

Whaley is garbage.

LOL! Let's not forget that Whaley didn't resign Hogan even though he was an unrestricted free agent and let him go to the Patriots, sure would have been nice to have Hogan this year wouldn't it?

You mean the Hogan that they overpaid for and he would have been our 3rd receiver at best. How many players have we let go over the years. Whaley has resigned Hughes, Glenn, Darius, Incongnito after he had a great first season, gave McCoy an extention so he is resigning the guys with talent. Drafting so far has been 50/50

Yep, that same Hogan that had more receiving yards than any Bill this year, and that equaled the 4 receiving TDs of Bills' leaders Justin Hunter and Charles Clay. Is 3y/12m overpaying for that? Whaley could've put the $1.5M wasted on Reggie Bush's net negative yards towards retaining Hogan, and could've avoided spending almost $600K on Hunter. We're halfway there already...

3rd receiver at best? Other than Sammy Watkins, he would have been/was better or at worst equal to Robert Woods. In 2015, when they hindered his growth with Percy Harvin, I was just as upset. It's pathetic.

Anyway, I don't know what else needs to be said... we are LAST in the league as far as drafted players on the roster. LAST.

In the 3 drafts since he was our GM there are 5 players that are now not on this team im not sure if any of those are on the practice squad. Considering you cant judge a draft for 3 years and the avg NFL career is just under 3 years its a bit too soon to say he cant draft dont you think. Im not saying he hasnt made mistakes Clay was a big one. Not upgrading at RT was a big one, the rift with Marrone was one. From all reports Pegula hired Ryan by himself you really cant put that on Whaley. So i just dont understand the extreme hate towards him considering the amount of talent he has brought to this team in the short time he has been GM. Buddy Nix did nothing to help this team out and it was completely devoid of talent when Whaley took over. Hell Nix thought Fitz was a franchise QB. He though Manuel was worthy of a first round pick. If there is anyone you should be mad at its Buddy Nix.
