Trentwannabe's 1st Mock Off-season. 3 round Mock

Buffalo Bills 2013 Season

HC: Doug Marrone
OC: Nathan Hackett
DC: Mike Pettine
ST: Danny Crossman

Re-sign:
LG Chad Rinehart -will battle for starting G spot
WR David Nelson -great slot reciever, 3rd down safety blanket
RB Tashard Choice -good 3rd back option
DE: Shawn Merriman -Pettine could get a lot out of a still young Merriman
DE: Kyle Moore -was one of our better D-line last year
LB: Bryan Scott -takeaway specialist, good depth at LB/S
CB: Leodis McKelvin -great ST, good depth for 3rd/4th CB spot
FS: Jarius Bryd - top 5 S in the league, core piece to our D

* I think our staff and Buddy will see Levitre as the first victim to football analytics. They will want to get 2 or 3 good G's and pay them rather then pay a boat load of money to a LG.*

Free Agency:

FB: Moran Norris - replaces MycIntyre
WR: Kevin Ogletree -big physical receiver, much better then D.Jones
G: Brandon Moore -Marrone made him the G he is
DE/LB: Rob Jackson - he can play both DE and OLB. adds depth
CB: Kyle Arrington - steal a player from the Pats, had an off year this season.

2013 NFL Draft:
Round 1: CB Demarcus Milliner

- Milliner and Gilmore could be the best CB tandem in the league by week 10.
Round 2: QB Ryan Nassib

- Patience pays off for the Bills and Marrone. We get our franchise QB who could end up starting by the end of the season.

Round 3: WR Stedman Bailey

- big play threat, also plays more physical then his size would indicate.

Depth Chart:

QB: Fitzpatrick, Nassib, Smith
RB: Spiller, Jackson, Choice
FB: Norris
WR: Johnson, Nelson, Graham
WR: Ogeltree, Bailey,
TE: Chandler, Smith, Draft
LT: Glenn, Hairston

C: Wood, Brown

Don't like not upgrading LB but draft is solid for sure

Ya I agree not a big fan of Ogletree. He had a good start to the season but was pretty limited towards the second half, and personally he is an upgrade over Jones but how much. I think one of your free agents at CB/WR or draft picks needs to be switched to LB.

Not a fan of having Rhinehart as starting LG. We have to have better depth players on the OL. You do not do nearly enough to upgrade the linebacker position. Milliner in the first would be a nice pic though. We need to also find a starting TE because Chandler will probably be gone for most of the season.

I feel like with Pettine now running the defense, and Bradham going into his 2nd with Shep going into his 3rd year they will be improved. Barnett is still a major liability in the pass but i think he is OK against the run. Adding Milliner to our secondary and keeping Bryd would help us tremendously against the pass.

Joutman - I think we will address TE at some point in the draft, but unlikely it happens in the first 3 rounds. I think Smith can be a viable option for a few games. I also disagree about the O-line. Rinehart can be a starter in this league and Moore even at 32 is a real solid backup G. I love our depth at Tackle as well.
