Diehardskin2982 presents "My Skins Draft Strategy"

[diehardskin2982]

There are two approaches that the skins could have in this years draft. 1~trade down or 2~stay put. Personally I could be happy with either one because I see some major play makers in the top of this draft and there is so much talent in this draft that trading down could be usefull. Below is my strategy, tell me what you folks think and present the options that you would do.

Round1:
I would trade down to hopefully the Bills position and draft Amobi Okoye of Louisville with the 12th pick. (hopefully gaining their 1st, second, and 4th round pick.

Round2 (Bills43 pick): Charles Johnson DE Georgia~ I would also consider Josh Wilson here because of his speed (reminds me of D.Green). The D-line needs to be fixed ASAP.

Round 4 (bills Pick): Rueben Riley OG Michigan he has the size and potential but would be a project for Joe Bugel to turn into a monster.

Round 5: Travarous Bain CB Hampton ~ Although this transfer from Miami played in a lesser division of college football his combination of size and speed warrants a chance to crack the roster (6-0 1/8 174)

Round 6: Anthony Waters MLB Clemson~ good size had a injury that he has to rehabilitate but could spend a year learning the defense, playing special teams and watching London fletcher.

Round 6 (Bears): Prince Prempeh WR Marist- 6-3 183 and not scared to go over the middle... Special teams anyone?

Round 7: Quinn Pitcock DT Ohio State ~ great size and potential, needs coaching

Wildcard: I would consider getting back into the late 1st early second to take a stab at Meriweather he would compliment Sean Taylor well and boost our secondary.

its seems like the skins are getting lucky this year. when they desperately need d linemen, there appears to be an abundance of good ones to choose from. good post

has pitcock really dropped to the 7th round? i saw him being projected as a first rounder not too long ago

[diehardskin2982]

I did alot of my research from different draft magazine and it seems he has fallen tremindously, If he is not on the board I would take either Conrad bolston of Maryland, Zack West of UTEP or Kelly Talavou of Utah

[GTripp0012]

I don't think Okoye would last to twelve, but if Adrian Peterson does fall all the way to us, I could see the Bills being interested.

I'm not sure who we would get at 12 if Okoye was gone. Branch, maybe? Gaines Adams?

Good post though, looks like you've done some solid research.

[GMScud]

If Okoye is around at 12 he'd be a no-brainer. The thing is, there is SO MUCH D-line talent up and down the board in the 1st/early 2nd rounds....

The question now is: Does the Texans exit from the Brady Quinn sweepstakes put an end to the trade-down talk? However, the Vikes are one pick after us, and they want Quinn. Maybe someone wants to sneak by the love boaters and pick Brady Bunch up. We'll probably have to wait till draft day for that answer. How much interest do the Bills have in our number 6?

Hey, good post.

[RMSkins]

I really doubt Pitcock will fall to the 7th round.

[riggoraider]

The Mock is fine but you did not pick anyone who would help us with our red-zone scoring, which was just about as bad as our defense last season.

Could he fall to the 6th?

I doubt it. I see Pitcock going in the 3rd or 4th.

I think C.J. Gaddis would be a better pick in the 5th instead of Travarous Bain, I also think we should make a run for a safety to compliment Taylor, I think our SS situation is very shaky. I like the Anthony Waters pick in the 6th.

great post, is there any background reason for the Bills prediction?
