Brothers' Mock Draft

The Brothers weigh in on who they think the Bills will draft.

Bennett
1st Round: CB Rodgers-Cromartie, 6'10", 184 lbs., Tennessee State
2nd Round: WR Jordy Nelson, 6'2" 217 lbs., Kansas State

Riley
1st Round: WR Devin Thomas, 6'1", 216 lbs., Michigan State
2nd Round: CB Antoine Cason, 6'0", 191 lbs., Arizona
3rd Round: TE Martellus Bennett, 6'6", 259 lbs., Texas A&M

Riley's Commentary: The Bills should go with Rodgers-Cromartie in the first round and hope Malcolm Kelly or another big WR falls into the early second round. A good TE will be there in the third round. Rumors that they'll grab an OT in the second round scares me. Imagine the Bills going DE, OT, TE on the first day. Makes me sick just to think about it. Also, watch out for draft day trades. Between Chad Johnson, Lito Shepperd, and JP Losman, there are some deals to be done. I think Shepperd for a 2nd Rounder and a 5th Rounder (same as DeAngelo Hall) is the most likely of the bunch.

I truly doubt that Martellus Bennett will be dropping to the third round. But if he did, man, that would be an awesome pick.

Yeah, I know. That was kind of a pipe dream. I wrote it right as Bennett was rising. I think Bennett may now be the top TE in the draft.

But I think the logic holds. If the Bills wait until the third round, they can use that early pick to get the third or fourth best TE. And in this draft, that'll be someone pretty good.

Assuming Bennett doesn't fall and the Bills address WR/CB with the first pick, should they jump at Bennett in the second round and neglect the WR/CB position? With a young QB who needs an outlet, I think that's a real question.

Listen Now!

: Bennett

When he's not writing, or cringing over a rank diaper, you can find Bennett in his LA backyard with a six pack of PBR, ruminating on today's most significant issues, such as how does Magic Shell ice cream topping really work, what happened to Darick Holmes, and why does Bennett's cat insist on crapping in the bathtub.
