Folks, it's go time, and I'm not about to worry about where SuperstarOfficialDraftMagnate.org has players going in their mock draft. I'd rather go with the sources I trust around college football and the NFL, and scouts I've talked to around the NCAA going back to last year.
So, part of this is wishful thinking, and much of it is my logic, as I give you all 10 picks the Bills should/could and may make next weekend. Feel free to send yours to me by clicking my email address at the top of the article:
7c. Kelly Poppinga, LB, BYU
-tackling machine that benefited from move to the inside.
7b. Jason Shirley, DT, Fresno State
-Bills take a chance on off-field issues and injuries for 6'6", 325-pound monster
7a. Dennis Dixon, QB, Oregon
-ACL injury derailed Heisman hopeful, but should he drop this far, the Bills would be well-suited to grab him.
6. Jamey Richard, C, Buffalo
-Solid, very intelligent football player who's worked closely with Jim McNally at UB doing draft preparation.
5. Jack Ikegwuono, DB, Wisconsin
-Blazing fast return man will try to return from ACL injury.
4b. Martin Rucker, TE, Missouri
-Not fleet-of-foot, but hard to argue with his contributions to Mizzou's 2007 surprise campaign.
4a. Jeremy Zuttah, OG, Rutgers
-Intelligent, big guard who was integral in the rise of Rutgers
3. Shawn Crable, LB, Michigan
-Overlooked, but an aggressive linebacker who can also drop down to defensive end.
2. Reggie Smith, DB, Oklahoma
-Malcolm Kelly fans should note that Smith's 40 times also suffered during Sooner pro day.
1. Limas Sweed, WR, Texas
-I still think he's the most complete wide-out available, and his injuries don't scare me. Great leaper, good speed and fantastic hands. Here's hoping.
The podcasts return Monday, so hit up WGR550.com's Draft Page for the archive, including Louisville QB Brian Brohm, Texas DT Frank Okam and Florida State DT Andre Fluellen (who could fit with the Bills in the right scenario).
